The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 87

As he recalled Ivy’s image under the streetlight with her head full of blood and her back shivering in the chill, Wyatt’s heart broke. He was aware that he owed her a great deal and that there was no way he could ever make up for it. In response, Don Reed gave him a stern look. “Why would I still be so enraged if I wanted to apologize? These apologies would only prove that we had mistreated her! It’s going to be a disaster for our company’s stock and reputation!” On the other side, Piper Reed echoed, “Yeah, why should we apologize? We can work things out privately with them. Putting our family’s reputation at risk is unnecessary. What does it matter if she is the daughter of Leo Morgan? Is she better than everyone else? We did not persuade her into marrying into our family, nor did we compel her into filing for divorce; therefore, why should we humiliate ourselves?” Piper’s name would become a laughing stock among the royals if they apologized! She would be unable to continue associating with them and would undoubtedly be mocked by all. That’s why they couldn’t say sorry! Suddenly, Wyatt’s cold gaze swept over Piper, making her cower in fear. He snorted softly. “All right, if you’re not willing to apologize publicly, let’s go to their door together and apologize.” “Not at all!” Eva jumped out to make a point. It’s hard to believe Eva would go to Ivy and bow her head in respect when she used to be the one in charge and be above her. That was like slapping her in the face! “Enough already!” When he looked at Wyatt, Don Reed’s face flushed with rage. He was well aware that his grandson possessed exceptional talent. “Is there no other option?” “None,” Wyatt replied. It appeared that Wyatt’s mood was gloomy. They owed Ivy an apology and should have done so long ago.

The Don’s eyes drooped, and he let out an exasperated sigh. “Then it’s up to you to make plans!” He had no other choice but to rely on his grandson’s judgment at this point. “Grandpa…” Piper was hesitant. Wyatt glared at Piper with a stern expression and warned her. “Piper Reed, you must never forget how you misplaced our family heirloom. If you dare to cause trouble again, don’t expect to receive any money from us in the future. Go out and work for your own money.” Piper was taken aback. Work?! I’m a Reed! How could I go out and work like everyone else? Will I not be mocked? she thought. “Mom…” Piper sought help from Eva, but Eva was afraid of her son. Furthermore, she had contributed to the loss of the emerald pipe, so she felt incredibly guilty. When he turned to leave, Wyatt’s expressionless face bore no emotion. His grandfather summoned him. “Wait. I don’t care whom you’re hooking up with, but you’d better avoid Alice Perez. We can’t take any chances right now because the Morgans are enraged…” the Don scratches his forehead, “In addition, Ivy had made such blatant remarks about Alice at the anniversary gala. The most important thing at this point was to mend the rift between the two families.” When Wyatt heard this, he simply walked away. It turns out that everyone misinterpreted his relationship with Alice... Especially Ivy! Wyatt immediately called his assistant Michael after leaving Reed’s Mansion. An apology letter was not difficult for the public relations department to write. What was difficult was Reed’s Corporation’s viewpoint on this matter. It was indeed a crammed evening. THE FOLLOWING DAY, at noon, while everyone was still reeling from the news that Ivy was the Morgan Corporation’s heiress, an apology letter was sent out on behalf of Reed Corporation. The letter primarily addressed the internet’s false rumors about Ivy. Simultaneously, Wyatt apologized in his name for failing to cherish his marriage to Ivy. There was an instantaneous surge of interest on the internet. This is a true-to-life television show! Hold on a moment while I prepare my popcorn. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Wait, they admit to bullying Ivy? They admitted it in a roundabout way... Ivy, our Goddess, has a clean conscience! I’ve always stood by her since she announced her divorce and dared to reveal the true identity of the third party in their marriage! The Morgan Corporation. Within the conference room… The crowd’s gaze was drawn to the high-ranking officials seated at the head of the conference table. In the meantime, Leo Morgan sat back in his chair, dozing off as he confidently left Cooper in charge of this meeting. Afterward, Cooper began to introduce Ivy, saying a few words of introduction. Ivy let her hair fall in front of her brow to conceal the scar from last night’s accident. “I’m sure everyone in this room is aware that Ivy is my father’s daughter and my sister. She is now Morgan Corporation’s largest shareholder. As a result, I am pleased to announce that Ivy Morgan has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Corporation. Everyone, I believe, has no opinion on this, correct?” Ivy was now the most potent shareholder in the company! The aggregate number of shares held by everyone present was insignificant in comparison to Ivy’s. As a result, no one dared to express an opinion on this matter. Many of the directors present were relieved that they did not join Jess Croft’s “revolt.” Otherwise, they would not be here right now. Everyone was just so relieved to have escaped a disaster! “Congratulations, Miss Ivy!” Everyone started applauding and welcoming Ivy. Ivy smiled and expressed her joy at being promoted from Vice President to CEO Ivy. Cooper arranged for it specifically to ensure a seamless transition into her new role as CEO. Despite this, Cooper’s position as President was unaffected. He still wielded considerable power. It was simply that Ivy now oversaw a much broader range of enterprises. Regardless, she was now the tyrannical CEO, Ivy Morgan! Greg greeted her as she exited the conference room and handed her the phone. “Miss Ivy, please

find attached the Reed Corporation’s apology letter that was just released.” Ivy cocked her brow. This soon? Given Don Reed’s temper, she reasoned that they would drag it out for at least ten days, if not more than a month. Ivy gave a fleeting glance, laughed softly, and then turned off the screen. This was an artful apology. They clarified her scandal in a few words and even formally assessed their marriage devoid of any emotion or feeling. She could immediately tell that this was Wyatt’s work. “Are we required to respond?” Ivy cast a sidelong glance at Greg. “No, there’s no need to make a statement any longer.” “Noted, ma’am. ABC Corporation is also beginning the process of selecting research programs. Mr. Saver wishes all three parties to send candidates to ABC Corporation until the program is completed. They intend to immediately announce the good news to the world once the finished product is released for maximum benefit.” Ivy gave the nod. When she thought of ABC’s project, she felt energized. Because this was her first project as Vice President at Morgan Corporation, she would cherish it as if it were her child. “There’s still the issue of selecting our research and development candidates,” Greg said after a brief pause. “We have yet to finalize the candidates who are qualified to join ABC’s research and development team. Why don’t we advertise a school recruitment drive to see if there are any suitable university candidates?” Ivy cracked a grin. “There’s no need. I’ve already got a candidate in mind.” She walked away merrily, returning her gaze to Greg. “I’m sure my brother must have planned a lot of things recently for me. Try to push it off if you can. I want to participate in the selection of this ABC research program myself.” It’ll be a shame if Reed Corporation takes advantage of this opportunity while I’m not looking! She thought. Ivy would not budge on anything related to her company’s interests. Greg didn’t dare to object and simply said, “Yes, ma’am. By the way, would you like to go over the

list of gifts you’ve purchased for the staff?” Ivy gave a shaky nod. “You guys can arrange it in any way you want.” In any case, her only responsibility in this situation was to spend money. Greg took a breather. “How is your wound?” Except for Greg, no one knew about her injury. Ivy would not have been compelled to attend this meeting if she had not been obligated to do so. Ivy inadvertently touched the wound. “It’s all right. I went to the doctor. It’s only a minor scuff. I’m not that sensitive.” Greg nodded. “A copy of the investigation’s findings has already been delivered to your office.” “All I need is a name.” Ivy was intrigued as to who wanted her dead. Greg responded, “Alice Perez.” Her lips formed a frosty smile, and she didn’t say anything.
