The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 20

“Damn it, Wyatt! Just move your ass towards your car and cover me. That ex-wife of yours is getting on my nerves,” Duke yelled. Wyatt shook his head as he took steps toward the car. Duke opened the door in a rush. When Wyatt got inside, Duke started complaining. “Ivy is fucking beautiful, but I hate women like her at this point. She is too fierce and damn; I can’t play with her!” Duke’s words linger in Wyatt’s ears, making his aura darken. Wyatt rolled the window car downward. He took out a cigarette and lit it, and the smoke in it made the look into Wyatt’s eyes dim and unclear. Simon Albert came out with Windy and Agatha, and suddenly their gazes diverted to the two people in the car. Simon approached Duke’s side and knocked on the car window. Duke then irritably opened it. And when their eyes met, he arched his brow. The corners of Simon’s uninhibited mouth laugh playfully. “Duke, don’t take the bet seriously and don’t you worry about it. It’s just a gamble. However, don’t be too arrogant to make a bet that will also fall for you.” Duke trembled with anger. It was so simple to say that for them because it wasn’t them who stripped naked and ran out! And his Duke name will probably become the laughingstock of others from now on. It was he who put himself to shame. He wasn’t supposed to follow the bet, but Simon Albert threatened him. And pushed him to do so. Duke shot a death glare at Simon. “Would you just stay away?” Wyatt suddenly glanced at Simon when he heard Duke’s irritated voice. “Ivy just wins by luck,” he said. His voice is low and seems dangerous. Simon let out a soft chuckle and suddenly tapped the hood of the car. “Luck?” he snorted, “it was clear enough that Ivy won over you, Reed. And how would you know that she’s capable of playing dice if you don’t even give a damn looking or talking at her for the past three years? So, you didn’t think that Ivy would win, right?” “It was an accident.” Simon laughed and tapped the hood of the car once again, making Duke jerk back as he was

startled. “Accident? So, three years is not enough to know a person, huh? Ivy is indeed worthless in the eyes of the mighty Wyatt Reed for three years?” Simon asserted and shook his head. “You didn’t know what you have lost,” he added and smiled. “But there’s no need to dig deeper about Ivy’s life because to us, Ivy is a queen!” He gave a thumbs up and raised an eyebrow, then sneered, Anger lingered in Wyatt’s eyes. His gaze towards Simon sharpened. “Don’t tell me you’re gonna pursue her?” he asked with his deep and cold voice. Simon burst into laughter. His eyes met Wyatt’s gaze and frankly said, “Yes, I want to pursue her, and I should thank you, Reed, for letting her go. Indeed, I have this opportunity.” He smiled again and took a few steps backward. Simon’s words angered Wyatt even more, making him withdraw his gaze and look at the front expressionlessly. On the other hand, Duke felt irritated waiting for them to finish. “Stop talking to a parasite, Wyatt. Let’s go!” Wyatt’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and with one step on the accelerator, the car swiftly drifts away, making Duke in a state of shock. “Dude! Are you angry?!” However, Wyatt didn’t bother to lessen the speed. Was Simon interested in Ivy all along? And he even admitted it in front of him. “Wyatt—” “Isn’t it the photos that you should care about? So, stop bothering me!” he asserted. And through his voice, anger is visible. “Wyatt… how could you—why on earth did you marry that woman in the first place? There are so many women in the world, why choose Ivy? You knew we were all upset with you. That’s why we never accept—” Duke didn’t finish his words when Wyatt suddenly stepped on the brake. Wyatt’s face shows irritation, his aura is dark, and suddenly a pang of pain is stabbed into his chest. “Get out of the fucking car!” Wyatt’s voice was cold which sent shivers down Duke’s body. Duke’s eyes suddenly widened, and he glanced at him in surprise. “Why?”

“I’m going to the company. So, get out!” Wyatt’s face was inexplicably dark. Seeing Wyatt’s anger through his eyes, Duke had no choice but to get out of the car. He was left on the side of the street, standing in the cold wind and watching the vehicle getting farther until it disappeared in his sight. He frowned and sighed when he saw that Wyatt didn’t take the route toward his company but went in the other direction. On the other side, Windy walked over triumphantly. “Duke deserves everything that happened tonight,” she asserted. Agatha nodded as she agreed. “He should stop his foul schemes towards Ivy. They should stop provoking her. They don’t know how good Ivy was in bullying when she knew she was right.” “Oh. Before I forget,” Windy asserted, “how can Ivy play dice?” Agatha and Simon looked at each other and smiled. “When she was in college, she had a month of quarrels with her family, and her father closed her cards, and as a result, she was tricked into working as a dealer in the biggest underground casino, she learned the skills and made a lot of money!” Agatha stated. “When his father found out, he was so frightened that Ivy would no longer go back. Because of that situation, he then gave back her black card,” Simon continued. Windy’s eyes widened, and she regretted why she didn’t stay on the same block with Ivy way back in their college days.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
