The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 64

Everyone belonged to the same elite circle. Simon Albert had always been popular among high- society females, and his position as the Albert family’s second son was also highly alluring. As a result, when these two women witnessed Simon Albert treat Ivy in this manner, their cheeks instinctively paled. “What’s the matter? Ivy, didn’t you have a thing for Cooper Morgan and a fling with Sebastian? Does Simon Albert still support such a controversial woman?” Ivy sighed and withdrew her hand, turning to face the woman. “You can apologize on your initiative, or I can make you apologize. Select one.” The two women exchanged glances. Their bodies tensed unconsciously. Simon, who was standing next to Ivy, gave the two women a frigid smile. Do you have deafness? Make your choice!” Those two ladies were baffled. Simon Albert appeared to be willing to beat them up as long as Ivy said the word, regardless of gender. Suddenly, they heard a click. Ivy took a selfie with her phone and hooked her lips in contentment. “What are you up to?” One of the women couldn’t help but inquire, confused as to why Ivy would take a photo of them. “Because we’re civilized people, I won’t fight you. I can only get your father to apologize to me because you refuse to apologize. It won’t be as simple as sorry when the time comes.” Ivy burst out laughing. Morgan Corporation’s clout would be simple to make life challenging for a few small businesses. Making them vanish from the city might also be accomplished with the snap of a finger. One of the women whispered to the other, and the two of them glanced up, grudgingly saying, “Sorry.” Despite their dislike for Ivy, they were terrified of the Albert family’s strength. They couldn’t afford to annoy Simon Albert, who was rooting for Ivy. Furthermore, if Ivy later complained to Cooper Morgan, the situation would deteriorate even further. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

These two females have trusted money babies who contributed nothing to the family company. They would almost definitely be rejected if they involved their family business over such a trivial affair. Ivy furrowed her brow and dug her ear. “I didn’t hear anything.” The two women clenched their teeth and locked their gaze on Ivy. They gently raised their voices. “We apologize, Miss Ivy.” Ivy smiled, but it was an icy one. “Please take this as a warning. I won’t try to be civilized the next time.” She had a variety of methods for intimidating a few rich kids. The two females exchanged a smile. Despite their outrage, they remained silent. Ivy checked her phone for the time. The noises of scolding could still be heard in the dining hall. Ivy didn’t want to continue interfering, so she walked out the door. Because everything had been revealed, Morgan Corporation will publish Anna Gomez’s dismissal later that evening, so Anna would be unable to continue working in this industry. Jess Croft, of course, would face the same fate. Before they could leave, they noticed a group of individuals approaching from the opposite direction, led by none other than Wyatt Reed. Simon laughed lightly next to Ivy. “Wow, what a little world.” He took a step forward, wrapped his arm around Ivy’s shoulders, and murmured in her ear, “You don’t need to thank me. We can’t afford to lose this game.” Ivy became aware that Wyatt was staring at her. She averted her sight and walked onward without looking at him as if he were a stranger. “Ivy, you’ve been rather popular recently, haven’t you? Your rate of appearance is considerably higher than that of true celebrities. Are you attempting to shift careers and make your debut in show business?” Duke, who was standing next to Wyatt, couldn’t help but irritate Ivy when he spotted her. He then took a step forward to prevent her from fleeing. He had spent the entire day online, watching the drama unfold. Ivy was offended on rare occasions. Therefore, Duke wanted to add fuel to the blaze.

However, the keyboard warriors he recruited halted all activity in the afternoon. Simon arched his brow. “What does it have to do with you, Mr. Elrod?” “Albert, how can you continue to support her when she is involved with three men at the same time? Don’t you think she’s a little too popular with men?” Duke’s remarks were nasty. Ivy gave Duke a sidelong glance. “If I were you, Mr. Elrod, I’d learn to keep my lips shut at this time.” “What?” How could this woman dare to instruct me what to do? Duke thought. Ivy scoffed and hooked her lips. “Because if I become angry, I can easily make you more popular than I am right now.” Who would go viral if Duke’s nude photos were uploaded online? Ivy averted her sight and exited the clubhouse after finishing that phrase. She didn’t even look at Wyatt Reed, who stood next to Duke. Duke’s cheeks went bright crimson as he gnashed his teeth. “This woman,” he paused and gritted his teeth, “does she intend to threaten me for the rest of my life?” Wyatt averted his sight from Ivy and cast a glance at Duke. “You deserved it.” SIMON HAD driven his car to the clubhouse, but he insisted on Ivy driving him home. Ivy agreed, but unwillingly. A towering person obstructed the front hood when they were about to drive away after getting into the car. Simon pressed his lips together and arched his brows slightly. “What’s the deal with Wyatt Reed’s clinginess?” Wyatt Reed strolled directly in front of them, calmly, with no intention of yielding. He clearly had something to say. Ivy was growing irritated. Wyatt approached her car and knocked on her window. She closed her eyelids, hooked the corners of her mouth delicately, and slowly lowered the car window. “Is there a problem, Mr. Reed?” Wyatt’s black eyes dropped as he stared at her intently. “Ivy, about the condition you mentioned—” Ivy giggled and cut him off. “Does it appear like you’ve made a decision? Which one do you prefer?”

The emerald pipe or Alice Perez? Wyatt’s gaze dipped slightly. “Modify it. Alice is untouchable.” Ivy’s smile hardened for a second when she heard this. She was relieved that they were in a dark atmosphere where no one could see the sadness on her face. Is Alice Perez untouchable? How valuable is she to him? Is Alice such a wonderful being in his heart? Ivy wondered. Ivy thought she was over Wyatt Reed and didn’t care about such things anymore. However, she could still feel hurt by his casual remark. That dull, crushing agony was all too familiar. She’d endured this agony with her teeth clamped many times before. The only person Wyatt Reed has ever willingly wounded has been me, she thought. Ivy was startled to feel a warm, mighty hand clutching her right hand tightly. For a brief minute, she was surprised and returned her gaze to Simon. Simon raised his brows, a gleam in his gaze. “Mr. Reed, Alice Perez appears to be very special to you. I’m concerned about your female preferences. If I were you, I’d sooner be blind than look at her.” Ivy calmed down after hearing Simon’s comments. She paused for a bit to gather her thoughts. Her eyes were filled with coldness when she raised them again. “You still don’t get it, Mr. Reed? I’m the one who makes the decisions. I offered you a choice. Therefore, you can only select one of them and have no right to modify your mind.” Ivy hissed and hooked her lips. She cautiously raised the car window, averted her sight, stepped on the accelerator pedal, and drove away into the darkness. She didn’t even look at the man who had been left behind. “Ivy, take a look at yourself! Were you not so confident of yourself when you were inside? How did you turn become such a coward after coming out?” Simon and Ivy grew up together and knew each other well enough that he could tell what she was thinking with a single glance. He ripped off her mask but didn’t let go of her hand. His lips were still curved up at the corners. Ivy withdrew her hand and chuckled at herself. “I know I’m a moron.”

Simon took a breather before reaching out to rub her hair. “Don’t be afraid. You still have me, all right?” he added gently. Ivy smiled, retracted her thoughts, and remarked indifferently, “How can I be afraid of losing what I never had? So… I’m not afraid of anything.” She was not going to give Wyatt Reed another chance to damage her. So, he went with Alice Perez, huh? I suppose his family heirloom will be lost for all time. Within the parking lot, Duke panted as he dashed over to Wyatt, the tall and well-built man who was just standing there. He gave the man an odd look. “Didn’t you come here to test-drive my new car? I’m going to die of cold! What are you doing standing there?” Wyatt’s eyes were chilly and sad. “Nothing.” Duke let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he noticed a dent in the door of the car next to him. He then squatted down and massaged it, feeling anxious, furious, and devastated. He just wanted to leap up and curse the culprit. “Oh, my dear car! I just had it for about three days. Whose son of a bitch did this?! I’m going to kill them!” Wyatt Reed stared coldly at Duke, who was suffering from a stifling and unpleasant discomfort in his chest. Wyatt was irritated for some reason when he noticed Ivy did not object to Simon holding her hand earlier. Duke continued to mutter on the side. “Didn’t you see who did it?! Who would cause harm to my prized auto? I got it from Europe, and it arrived after drifting at sea for more than a month in special shipping! That son of a bitch!”
