The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 175

Marco Seely completed the groundwork for the project. Its specifications were highly ambitious, with a broad scope. A critical component was advancing research on their current artificial intelligence project. As a result, Morgan Corporation enlisted the assistance of ABC Corporation in the core project. The last time, ABC Corporation’s announcement of an AI doctor capable of diagnosing illnesses thrust them into the limelight. They received widespread acclaim and attracted a large number of investors. Additionally, Morgan Corporation and Reed Corporation dominated the artificial intelligence market. Even so, their research and development could not be halted for fear of being surpassed by other countries. If they are unable to protect their core technology, they will miss out on the opportunity to become the market leader. As a result, Ivy proposed that Marco’s project incorporate the ABC Corporation’s research and development to expedite progress. Although this resulted in a further division of the pie, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in the long run. Ivy devised this scheme and discussed it with Helios early in the morning, who naturally had no objections. If this enormous pie were distributed evenly, there would be fewer envious parties. It was simply that collaborating with ABC Corporation entailed Reed Corporation as well. However, these concerns were unfounded. Given Reed Corporation’s strength, their participation in this collaboration would be icing on the cake. The morning breath was breezy and slightly cool. Ivy chose a slim black gown with a hem embellished with tiny pearls. It was formal and elegant with a touch of vivacity, which enhanced her appearance of valor and beauty. Jimmy happily waved at Ivy as soon as she entered the room. “OMG! Today, Ms. Morgan, you are breathtakingly beautiful! When the sun shines on you right now, you appear to have stepped out of an art piece.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ivy was taken aback. Luckily, she was clinging to the railing. Otherwise, she’d simply fall down the stairwell. Bill stepped back, his face expressionless and fierce. His lips were pursed, expressing contempt for Jimmy’s sycophantic behavior. Wyatt sat at the dining room table, dressed entirely in black loungewear. Despite this, he maintained a reserved, calm, and noble demeanor. His face was gentle as if last night’s episode had never occurred. Wyatt smiled slightly as he watched her descend the stairs. “I wish you a pleasant morning.” Ivy arched her brow. “I wish you a pleasant morning.” “Wow, this man is certainly capricious.” Jimmy prepared a breakfast buffet featuring a variety of Western and even Asian cuisines. Everything was presented beautifully and looked highly appetizing. Given that Wyatt made no mention of the awkwardness last night, Ivy had no intention of discussing it either. Wyatt, on the other hand, was the aggrieved party. Ivy sat at the dining table, eager to sample each dish. Suddenly, she considered something and raised her eyes to him. “By the way, I saw Ms. Reed last night while shopping.” Wyatt’s face was calm and unsurprised as if he had anticipated it. “I am aware. The store manager informed me of this.” “How did she end up there?” Wyatt Reed chewed the sushi in front of him slowly. His tender and classy finger movements were somewhat artistic. His words were tinged with a faint chill. "All I'm doing is teaching her how to be a person as quickly as possible." Ivy frowned and was perplexed by what he was saying. Wyatt patiently explained, "Because she was such a snob, she never imagined she'd end up serving others. This will serve as a lesson for her."

Ivy arched her brows and immediately grasped the concept. Piper felt that such a punishment was a little too severe. In contrast to ordinary people who needed to support their families, Piper was raised as a spoiled young lady. Ivy couldn't help but sigh. Wyatt was so ruthless toward his sister that Ivy doubted Wyatt's display of weakness. However, from another vantage point, scumbags like Piper were ubiquitous. Wyatt was only supporting Piper for the remainder of her life because of his feelings for Ivy, as the Reed family could afford it. Ivy quickly finished her meal and headed to the office. In Hudson Yards, only Wyatt and Jimmy remained. Jimmy regarded Wyatt with gleaming eyes and inquired excitedly, "Mr. Reed, how was it last night?" Wyatt was unable to take another bite of his food upon hearing this. His gaze became icy in an instant as he locked his gaze on Jimmy. He trundled himself back to the study, snorting coldly. MORGAN CORPORATION. Ivy directed Greg to contact Marco Seely to confirm ABC Corporation's involvement in the project before contacting Liam Saver to arrange for follow–up. To avoid encountering Wyatt at Hudson Yards, Ivy chose to handle this situation personally. The three parties agreed to meet at ABC Corporation to finalize the details of the collaboration. Marco took the opportunity to visit ABC Corporation's Research and Development Department to gain a better understanding of this partner. Ivy went over to prepare in advance for the afternoon meeting, bringing along a new project assistant, Jack. Jack was a recent graduate still completing his internship when he was chosen over a group of seasoned professionals due to his lack of experience. As a result, he would not be easily swayed. He maintained a firm stance and his restrained and pure eyes were devoid of ambition or greed. Most importantly, Jack would value this rare opportunity to prove himself and work harder for it because it was far superior to climbing the ladder step by step. As a result, Jack was the ideal

candidate to oversee this project. Liam Saver set up a makeshift office for them. Ivy and Jack were greeted by Marco's staff upon their arrival. The meeting was set to begin at 3:00 p.m. Liam raised his eyebrows slightly when he noticed Jack behind her. "How come Greg wasn't here?" He thought that Ivy would be uncomfortable delegating such an important task to someone else, particularly a newcomer. "He is occupied with other matters. This is Jack, my new assistant," Ivy responded. Liam nodded. "Because Mr. Reed still owns shares in ABC Corporation, Reed Corporation representative will also attend this meeting." As expected, Ivy nodded calmly. Wyatt, on the other hand, was recuperating at home and thus would be unable to attend the meeting. At this point, someone knocked on the door. That would be Marco Seely. "Mr. Saver, Ms. Morgan. "Am I interfering?" Ivy grinned. “No…” Ivy froze and came to a halt in mid-sentence the moment she saw Marco holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Liam was also taken aback slightly. Marco’s temperament was mature, steady, and mysterious, with an air of noble indifference. He held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums that felt miserably out of place. 'What on earth is he doing?! This father and son duo alternated in presenting me with bereavement flowers. Do they wish for my demise?!' Ivy pondered.
