The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 65

Morgan Corporation. Anna Gomez was fired from the corporation a few days later and accused of disclosing trade secrets. The company’s management board investigated Jess Croft’s accounts. They discovered that Jess Croft had sold off three percent of his shares at a premium price a long time ago and that he was really a nominal shareholder who had duped everyone. Ivy was sipping her coffee and just squinted her brows as Greg informed her of the situation. Greg was unable to comprehend Ivy’s ideas. Is she not worried about such a large event? He thought. “Miss Ivy, should I look into whom he sold his shares to?” Jess Crofts’s shares would be in jeopardy if he sold them to a competitor. Ivy let out a short laugh before picking up a document from the side and tossing it on the desk. “My brother has been preparing for this for a long time. How could he have allowed his company’s stock to fall into the hands of others? “ Greg was intrigued and looked about. Ivy was the one who was assigned to it! What a brilliant covert maneuver! “Did Jess Croft sell his shares inadvertently to President Morgan’s representative, who then sold them to you?” Greg inquired. Ivy smiled softly as she raised her brows. “Exactly.” Cooper Morgan has the most foresight of anyone. He started thinking about it a long time ago. Jess Croft’s shares were merely a token of his appreciation for Ivy. Cooper’s flight was scheduled to arrive later that day, so Ivy took Sebastian, who was napping at home, to the airport to pick him up. Ivy and Sebastian waited in the parking lot, each with a cup of coffee in hand, not wanting to cause another incident like the last airport pickup. It was calm because there were only a few people around. Cooper appeared in a low-key manner in a matter of minutes. Ivy immediately recognized his tall, erect stature and attractive brows. She jumped out of the car and ran up to greet him, arms wide open, then gripped his neck like a

koala bear, not letting go. “Welcome back, Big Brother!” she exclaimed. Cooper laughed helplessly. “How come you missed me so much?” “Yeah, I did miss you! What happened to my present?” she asked. Sebastian, like Ivy, jumped out of the car and opened his arms to hug him. “Welcome back, Big Brother!” Cooper pushed him away with one hand before he could touch his neck. “Stay away from me!” Sebastian couldn’t say anything. Ivy laughed as Cooper’s assistant approached from behind, hauling seven or eight pieces of baggage. Ivy finally let go of Cooper and looked down at the baggage. She was taken aback by her brother’s large number of bags. On the other hand, Sebastian grumbled harshly and spat out some nasty comments. “I’m going to abandon you!” “All okay, then, bye!” Cooper raised his brows and moved his hand to touch Ivy’s hair. “Don’t worry about him. Let’s head home. I brought you numerous boxes of gifts, which I’m sure you’ll enjoy. You can choose first and offer Sebastian one or two things you don’t like.” Sebastian, who was walking in front, came to a halt. As he scowled at his siblings in the back, he appeared irritated and angry. “Can’t you be more subtle when you say things like that?” he clenched his teeth. I’m the world’s most unhappy and insignificant movie star! Sebastian pondered. When the car arrived at the Stanton mansion, the three siblings went inside. Mr. Santos was thrilled and quickly told the maids to start preparing dinner. Every corner of the villa was cleaned every day, even while Leo Morgan was not around. Mr. Santos had been a butler at the Morgan home for almost thirty years and had never made mistakes. To commemorate their reunion, the three siblings drank some wine. Sebastian stumbled around like a lunatic, dancing to the music. He didn’t appear to be the superstar he was. If his fans saw him right now, they would most likely turn their backs on him. Ivy laid out all of Cooper’s items back for her on the floor and sat down to choose her favorites. These precious treasures from private enthusiasts around the world were more valuable than luxury

brands. When her phone rang, she was a little tipsy. Ivy gladly answered the phone when it was a call from Agatha Hart. The butler caught Ivy’s meaning immediately with a simple hand gesture and went up to place these gifts in her room while she was on the phone. “Agatha, have you returned?” Agatha answered and was straightforward with Ivy. “Make sure you have a clear schedule for tomorrow night. I won’t be able to open my big show without you. Could you please come over with Windy?” Ivy was completely supportive of her best friend’s career. Furthermore, Agatha’s fashion shows were usually entertaining. “There’s no problem. I will be there!” Agatha stopped for a bit before asking, “Can you bring your third brother along as well?” Ivy was taken aback. She was unsure how to invite Agatha and Sebastian to the concert because they had never chatted much. Agatha coughed slightly and continued, “He’s a big movie star, so his appearance will boost the coverage and grandeur of my presentation. What would others think of me if I can’t even ask an A- lister to my show?” Ivy giggled and entered her room. “Don’t be humble. Everyone is vying for your tickets because they are so rare. Who isn’t aware of how popular EMBRACE is right now? But, since you asked, I’ll bring Sebastian. Don’t worry about it.” Initially, multinational brands set the tone for domestic fashion trends. Agatha Hart won an international fashion design competition two years ago and launched her secretive private fashion presentations, in which she would gradually reveal her designs. Her runway displays wowed the fashion industry and earned international acclaim. This year’s private show took place in Albany. Agatha would individually send out these invitations after great thought and selection because it was a private show with limited seats. The mysterious elite circle was the only group that could gain an invitation to her fashion presentation. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the iconic Embrace fashion show.

“Many thanks!” Agatha let out a relieved sigh and hung up the phone. Ivy then texted Sebastian to confirm his attendance for tomorrow night’s show. Afterward, she shut off her phone and went to bed without waiting for his response. Windy contacted Ivy the following day to go shopping for new clothing for Agatha’s show. Ivy took advantage of Cooper’s return by taking a break from work and enthusiastically consented to a spending spree. Before going, the two booked an appointment with the store. When the store manager saw Ivy and Windy, her eyes brightened up, and she greeted them enthusiastically at the door. “Good day, Ms. Morgan and Ms. Adams. We have cleared the store just for you today, and everyone here is committed to meeting your needs.” The store manager spoke cheerfully. “We want to stay under the radar, so there’s no need to be too difficult,” Ivy chuckled. “We’ll merely have a look upstairs and won’t interfere with your work.” “Umm…” “Do exactly what she says. Let’s not waste time,” Windy insisted. “As you please,” The store manager nodded and fulfilled the guests’ request. The second floor was beautifully illuminated, and the table was piled high with excellent little desserts from Michelin-starred restaurants. In the store, there was also a pleasant smell. “Would you like a drink? We’ve prepared a special collection of great European wine just for our VVIPs. Because of the low alcohol content, it is ideal for casual drinking. Would you like to give it a shot?” Ivy and Windy exchanged glances before responding, “Sure, we’ll have a glass then,” Ivy said. The wine has a strong aroma. Ivy could see right away that this type of wine, without a label, was not for sale to the general public and was only accessible for private collection. It was, as the store manager indicated, highly exclusive. Ivy and Windy sat on the couch as the store manager handed them an iPad containing a catalog of their brand’s limited-edition collection. The store manager changed the lighting on the second floor. With a light clap, a stream of models with identical physiques as Ivy and Windy emerged from the back, dressed in sample outfits. As a

result, they didn’t have to try things on and could simply nod when they saw an item they liked. They didn’t even have to raise their feet. Windy and Ivy waited with bated breath when they heard a disturbance downstairs. “Where has everyone gone? Do you serve your customers in this manner?” Ivy turned to look in the direction of the voice and noticed Alice Perez and Piper Reed standing at the door, which made her grin.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
