The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 101

When Ryan finally emerged from the research institute laboratory, he learned about Ivy's accident. He took a helicopter to that sea without saying anything. Sebastian had not returned, indicating that the situation had not yet been resolved. Celebrities and dignitaries who had friendships with the Morgans also refrained from interfering with their grief at this time. Those who thought highly of themselves and thought they were intelligent, on the other hand, rushed to find out where Ivy lived so they could send condolence flowers. This caused Leo, whose health had recently improved, to be readmitted to the hospital following an outburst of rage. Cooper enacted a ban right away. Anyone who sent another flower wreath would have it returned to the sender. Those who refused to sit still finally fell silent. Anything relating to Ivy's accident was also off-limits for online news outlets. The media issued a desperate order that no one discuss this matter. Everyone could tell that the Morgans refused to accept Ivy's death. They adored her as a daughter and a sister. Two thousand nautical miles away from the island, at sea. Ryan was on a ten-hour flight before arriving at Sebastian’s cruise ship. The plane's wreckage was salvaged in large quantities, but no one on board was found. They could already be buried in fish bellies. The more time passed, the angrier Sebastian’s expression became. Ryan noticed Sebastian drinking away his sorrows while watching the underwater camera feed as soon as he boarded the ship. Sebastian’s eyes were completely bloodshot, and Ryan wondered how long it had been since Sebastian had slept a wink. Greg did not dare to talk Sebastian out of it, so when he saw Ryan, he was pleasantly surprised. "Sir Ryan!" Ryan gave a slight nod and had his computer equipment relocated to the ship.

"Quit drinking. Dad is donating all of our family's assets, including yours." Sebastian didn't seem to mind. He was simply distraught. "Just give it all away." Ryan cast him a sidelong glance. "Have you ever considered what Ivy will do if she returns to find herself penniless?" Sebastian scowled. "Then Dad should not donate—wait, what do you mean...? Ivy can still return?!" Ryan tapped away on the keyboard; his face solemn. He nodded without hesitation as he stared intently at the string of words that flashed across the screen. Sebastian jumped up and down in delight. With snot running down his nose, he dashed over to Ryan. “Really?! Are you sure?" Cooper had the most authority in the Morgan mansion, second only to Leo, and Ryan had the highest IQ. This was common knowledge. Other than his good looks, Sebastian had no advantage. Ryan's words boosted Sebastian’s confidence in their fruitless search for their baby sister, causing him to become emotional. "The black box on the plane was taken away by the government," Ryan explained calmly, "but I contacted a hacker friend to crack the flight record in the black box." Sebastian’s pupils dilated. 'Wouldn't this spark an international uproar?' "There was a huge deviation in the plane's flight path just one minute before the plane exploded. The location of the explosion and crash was in this area of the sea, but..." Sebastian was agitated and hurriedly inquired, "But what?" Ryan pursed his lips and spoke with a solemn expression. "However, in that one minute, an unknown signal attempted to correct the flight deviation. Simba sent that signal, and the location where it eventually vanished was a thousand nautical miles away from the crash. If Simba had been a competent AI robot, it would have guided Ivy to safety and provided her with an early warning." Sebastian froze in place as a result of the shock. He was afraid to think about it these days, and he didn’t dare to accept reality.

What if there was a possibility? However, once Ryan had finished, Sebastian knelt and trembled violently. Sebastian, the grown man, burst into tears. Greg, who was standing by the side, was also moved. Because he felt the same way, his eyes reddened. Ryan cast a silent glance at Sebastian. “I’m sorry, I arrived too late.” Ryan would have known about this a long time ago if he hadn’t locked himself away in the laboratory for the secret research. Ryan calmly analyzed all the details and possibilities, then corrected all the deviations bit by bit, thanks to his high IQ. Simba’s tracker did not respond at all, and there was no trace of it on the satellite map, implying that some high-tech instruments were most likely blocking it. As a result, their search radius should be set to two thousand nautical miles away from their current location in the sea. Sebastian summoned everyone to halt their search and rescue efforts and immediately changed course. Ryan kept looking at the satellite map on the computer, slowly piecing together the situation in that part of the sea. There were a lot of small islands, which meant there were a lot of dangers. He became deafeningly quiet. In high spirits, Sebastian called Leo and told him not to donate their assets so quickly. In the end, Leo urged him and called him inhumane for thinking about money at all. Ryan snorted coldly at Sebastian’s glum expression. “Trying to find your IQ is like looking for a needle in a haystack.” Sebastian considered retorting but decided against it. After all, Ryan truly did outsmart everyone in terms of intelligence. A mercenary commander asked why they were going to that part of the sea and stated that they did not want to go.

Sebastian had finally found a hope he could hold onto, so he would not give it up. “Please state your price. Money is not an issue.” The mercenary refused, shaking his head. “It’s not a financial issue. That sea’s situation is complicated. We’re afraid that we won’t be able to return alive if we go there. No governments have sent peacekeepers there because those seas and islands are infested with pirates. One of those islands serves as their base camp. After entering, no one will be able to return.” Sebastian’s heart shivered, and he looked to Ryan for assistance. What now? Ryan paused for a moment before picking up the satellite phone and dialing Cooper’s number. Before hanging up the phone, Cooper only said, “All right. Wait for my announcement.” Cooper remained utterly silent for a minute before proceeding to the Reed Mansion. THE REED MANSION. Wyatt had been locked in his room for two days and two nights by Don Reed. Wyatt refused to eat anything, but there were countless bottles strewn about the room. He appeared disheveled and listless as he shrunk himself into a corner and hugged a bottle of wine. His mouth kept chanting Ivy’s name. Duke Elrod and Eric Todd attempted to console him several times but were unsuccessful. They couldn’t find the spirited, calm, and noble Wyatt Reed that they once knew. Ivy completely enchanted him! Cooper couldn’t help but frown when he arrived and saw this scene. “What if I told you, Mr. Reed, that Ivy might be able to return?” If he recalls correctly, when Wyatt first took over Reed Corporation, several veterans refused to accept him and conspired to set him up for a trap. Several oil tankers were attacked and robbed by pirates as they passed through the Atlantic oceans. Foreign officials and the military were unconcerned about such international disputes at the time. If something like this happened, most people would only blame it on bad luck. On the other hand, Wyatt drove a speedboat and charged at the pirate crew. Everyone thought he

was dead, but he came back to life and even brought back the crude oil! This incident shocked the entire world at the time. Wyatt was the first person to flee the pirates and force them to retreat empty-handed. As a result, if there were even a glimmer of hope in this rescue mission, it would be Wyatt. Cooper told him the whole story, unconcerned about Wyatt’s drunkenness. It would be simple to settle if the pirates wanted money. Cooper was only concerned that they desired Ivy’s life instead. Wyatt jumped up in a panic as soon as Cooper left, telling Ken to get a plane ready. He had no choice but to go there right away. He took an old phone and a gun from the safe and strode out of the room with purpose. Don Reed’s men were powerless to stop Wyatt, who had a madman’s spirit. Don Reed could only stomp his feet in rage as he watched his grandson leave. Wyatt would be willing to risk his life for Ivy as long as there was a glimmer of hope!
