The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 12

When Ivy left, Piper burst into anger. She darted a sharp gaze into Ivy's back. Eva called the waiter to clean the mess and take a seat. "How could Ivy do this to us?" Eva asked. "That slut is really getting on my nerves. She's a virus in this society," the old woman added. Piper gritted her teeth as her jaw clenched. Her hair and upper clothes were soaked with red wine, which made her get furious even more. Suddenly, the waiter spoke. "The restaurant offered free clothes, Miss. Do you want to—" "Get out of my sight!" Piper exclaimed as she shot a glare toward the waiter. The waiter gulped and nodded as he left. "I will not let that Ivy win," Piper uttered and gritted her teeth. MADNESS can be seen in Cooper's eyes when Ivy approaches their table. When he looked at her sister, Ivy seemed unbothered at all. Instead, she looked up at him and flashed a smile. "I almost forgot," she started as she sat down. "I made an appointment with Windy to go shopping tonight. Do you want to come?" she asked. Cooper's forehead creased slightly. "So, you're still in the mood to eat and shop after? Didn't those two ruin it? And what kind of attitude the Reeds have shown to you?" Ivy smiled. "Calm down. You're angrier than me, huh?" she teased. "Anyway," she pours a bottle of wine in a glass, "don't mind them. They're nothing to me. But if they dare to provoke me again, you know I'm not that weak ivy. They will surely know their places if they will try to hit on me again," she added and put down the wine bottle. Cooper sighed and nodded. After that, their food has been served, and they eat silently. And when they finish having dinner, they walk their way to the exit, and Ivy gasped when she saw Wyatt's car. At that moment, Ivy knew what will Piper do. Her forehead creased when she saw Wyatt step out of the car. Ivy smirked when she saw Piper and Eva walking in Wyatt's direction. Another drama. Ivy and Cooper continued to walk and stopped when Piper spoke. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Wyatt," Piper called his name and started to shed tears, making Ivy frown as she looked at her brother. Cooper was about to speak when Ivy shook her head. "Let her be," she mumbled and returned her gaze to the front. "Wyatt, Ivy harmed me, and mom will prove it," Piper complained. Ivy just stood there and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She arched her brow and her eyes filled with coldness. Suddenly, she realizes that she might just waste her time with the Reeds again, so she then pulls Cooper’s hand and continues to walk. On the other hand, Wyatt's face darkened. But he doesn't want to accuse Ivy again, just like Alice did. He made a mistake when he sided with Alice, and now, he needs to ask Ivy first. However, Ivy's leaving again. They're walking towards them, and when Wyatt gets the chance to shorten their distance, he grabs her by the arm and locks his cold eyes on her. "Can you explain it," he uttered. As much as possible, he tried to control his anger. Ivy stopped and let go of her brother's hand. She smiled faintly at him. "Just believe what they say. I don't need to explain," she asserted. Her voice is firm and cold. "Brother, don't let her go. That slut dares to harm me!" Piper exclaimed. Wyatt's grip on her arm tightened, then suddenly, he glanced at her sister. "What do you want me to do?" Piper bit her lips to hold her smile and looked at Ivy triumphantly. "Let Ivy bow to me and apologize," she asserted. Ivy scoffed. "Apologize?" she let out a chuckle and looked into Wyatt's eyes. Every time Eva and Piper provoked her to make a mistake, it was she who apologized. The two always make the small things a great big deal for them. And in the end, they will blame her. "Do you want me to apologize to your sister?" she asked, but Wyatt didn't reply as Ivy's alluring eyes hypnotized him. "If you want to find out the truth, why don't you go first to the surveillance room? Your sister here is not a saint who played innocent and pretended to be pitiful," she added. Ivy pushes him away and let go of his grip as she holds Cooper's arm.

Cooper, who couldn't help to let out the thoughts that were running inside his mind, spoke. "Piper Reed, haven't you learned about good manners and right conduct way back in your elementary days? Didn't your parents teach you how to give respect? And don't you know that when you bully others, you will retaliate? So, why would Ivy apologize to you if you knew in the first place that it wasn't her fault?" Piper trembled when Cooper darted his eyes on her. Suddenly, she hid behind her brother. "W- Wyatt, I didn't do anything," she mumbled. This made Wyatt frown. "I just cornered her and talked about the necklace which destroys me to my friends, and it's a thing that is owned by our family. So, how can it be called stealing? And I was talking to her calmly, but she's the one who picked a fight with me," Piper lied. Wyatt's eyes grew even darker and never broke his gaze to Ivy. Ivy scoffed and crept a smirk on her lips. "You really should enroll in a subject that deals how with teaching good manners, Miss Reed," she said sarcastically. "Or else, your behavior will lead you to your downfall," she added. "You should check the surveillance cameras and check who's really at fault," it was Cooper before she pulled Ivy towards his car and left the restaurant.
