The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 76

Leo Morgan continued to curse as he walked, but he was still not satisfied. When the father- daughter duo exited the VIP section, they noticed Cooper approaching with his head held high. “What brings you here?” Leo muttered. “Because I was concerned, I had to come over to pick you up, people.” Cooper stretched out and removed the luggage from his father’s grasp, then turned to face Ivy. “Prepare yourself. Because the reporters found out about your movements, there are already quite a few of them gathering at the airport’s entrance.” Ivy snorted coldly. “I’m not a wimp!” Leo grunted contentedly as he stroked Ivy’s hair. He was devoted to the protection of his princess. “Yeah, you guys are just behind me.” Let’s see who dares to approach me and initiate a fight! Leo pondered. Cooper was still concerned, so he shielded Ivy and held her hand. When they went out, they were mobbed with camera flashes. Ivy averted her gaze automatically. She appeared to be trying to cuddle into Cooper’s chest in the sight of reporters. For a split second, the headline was, “Ivy and Sebastian believed in living together.” Another headline appeared: “Ivy meets Cooper Morgan’s family.” “Ivy, do you and President Morgan have a relationship? How do you feel about Sebastian, the movie star?” Cooper shielded Ivy’s eyes from the dazzling flash. He walked out with solid steps, his arm around her shoulders. “Will you marry into the Morgan family, Ivy?” “What is it like to marry into a wealthy family for the second time?” “Ivy, do you feel extremely proud that so many men surround you?” “Is Simon Albert one of your spares, Ivy?” The endless queries were difficult to hear as if the rumors on the internet were true. “Chairman Morgan, please tell us what you think about Ivy’s terrible background.” The reporters did not spare Leo Morgan, the Morgan family’s patriarch. It seemed as though his

approach would determine Ivy’s fate. Leo’s already dismal expression darkened even further when he heard those comments. He stepped forward, not intending to say anything. Cooper, too, was deafeningly silent. The surrounding bodyguards blocked the reporters. Ivy simply stepped out peacefully in her black dress without saying anything. The facts will eventually show everything. Someone suddenly tossed a mineral water bottle from the opposite direction, slamming it into the back of Ivy’s skull. Ivy shivered as a result of the blow. Cooper turned coldly in that way and said, “Greg, find that person and notify the cops!” “ “Yes, Sir.” The bodyguards increased their alertness and formed a solid wall on all sides, denying anyone the opportunity to throw items. The Morgans then got into their car, which slowly began to blend into traffic. They had prepared six of the same cars in the front and back, so the reporters had no means of identifying them and soon lost their car. Ivy finally exhaled a sigh of relief as they climbed inside the car. Cooper scratched her chin and stared at her with concern. “Is it painful?” Ivy gave a shaky nod. “No, it doesn’t,” she said, stunned. Leo got a half-glass of red wine from the small refrigerator and guzzled it with his head thrown back. “The Reeds are out of control! Don’t blame me for being impolite because they dare to touch my daughter!” Cooper gave the nod. “Yeah, it’s about time we showed them the consequences of their actions, but there’s no haste.” “Don’t be upset, Dad. They don’t worth our time.” Ivy smiled, a tinge of bitterness in her heart. Her family only had to deal with these embarrassments because she was too ignorant and stubborn to fall for the wrong man back then. I was just begging for it. Ivy reflected. Leo was heartbroken and moaned quietly as he touched her hair. “It’s nice that you considered it.

It’s never too late to change your mind.” Ivy nodded, her eyes becoming a little misty. The picture of the Morgans at the airport became a heated topic of conversation on the internet as soon as they left. Look at Chairman Morgan’s face! He doesn’t seem to recognize Ivy as his daughter-in-law; her dream of marrying into a wealthy family has been dashed! How could Cooper Morgan fall for such a gold-digger as Ivy? He must be duped! Ivy has so many talents... I really should learn from her. Then suddenly, the phone rang. Leo stared at his phone and took it up with a serious expression. “Is there something wrong, Chairman Reed?” “I just saw the news online, Chairman Morgan. I suppose I owe you a decent welcome now that you’ve returned! Why don’t we go out for a drink tonight?” Cooper and Ivy shared a gaze with their father. Don Reed was delighted to telephone their father shortly after Leo stepped off the plane. Leo Morgan smirked. “That is not even needed. My family is currently in chaos. Therefore, I’m not in the mood to go out for a drink.” “It’s simply because of a lady, so what’s there to be upset about?” Don Reed replied. “I truly have a request for you.” “Chairman Reed, the Morgan Corporation’s anniversary is in a few days, so how about I invite your entire family, and we can chat then?” The opposite party took a breather. “Fine, I’ll see you then.” Leo Morgan’s eyes glowed once he hung up the phone. “Just wait ‘till I clean up after those Reeds knuckleheads!” Cooper burst out laughing. “Then I’ll use these few days to reorganize our company’s shares and pick which directors to keep or fire for our princess to have a clean environment.” Leo gave the nod. “That’s great; it’ll save us a lot of trouble later.” Ivy sighed deeply. “Oh no… What am I supposed to do? I’m about to have too much money that I

won’t be able to spend.” Leo came to a halt and immediately remembered something. “Speaking of spending, Sebastian spent millions in one afternoon, according to the bank president. Because it is not for investment or stock, he is concerned that it is an unusual transaction. What is Sebastian doing?” Cooper couldn’t stop laughing. “Dad, Princess wasted that money.” “Oh, then I’m pleased,” Leo responded. Sebastian would undoubtedly go insane if he found out. Ivy returned home to find a phone call from an unknown number. She ignored it since she suspected it was a spam call. However, it rang repeatedly, and Ivy eventually succumbed. “Ivy? Duke Elrod’s voice was heard. She cocked her brow. “Is there something wrong, Mr. Elrod?” Duke was looking for her, so it wasn’t going to be good. He pursed his lips. “Ivy, I didn’t take this chance to pour fuel to the fire this time, so you can’t push me out to be your shield.” Ivy chuckled. It turns out he understands what fear is. “Did you forget how you insulted me that night, Mr. Elrod?” Duke was terrified, but he refused to give up. “That was just a miscommunication. I’ve deeply looked arrogantly at myself, so just let me off the hook this time.” Duke’s voice sounded panicked for the first time to Ivy. Those naked photos appeared to have deeply disturbed him. “I’ll consider it. Please do not call me again. I’m not interested in hearing your voice.” Ivy was about to hang up when Duke abruptly said, “Hey, hold! Someone is searching for you.” Ivy froze for a split second before hearing a familiar icy voice. “It’s me, Ivy.” Wyatt Reed was the one. Ivy’s brows arched slightly as she heard this voice. She gave out a soft chuckle. “Would you like to

warn me as well, Mr. Reed?” Wyatt was taken aback for a time. “Didn’t my grandfather look for you?” “Didn’t Chairman Reed plan this whole incident to teach me a lesson?” He’s simply being stupid! Ivy thought. “Ivy, just agree with him. Return the pipe, and I’ll handle the rest. I’ll take care of everything online.” Ivy stifled a laugh. Her eyes were somewhat moist. The other side was deafeningly quiet. “I know you’re both playing, Wyatt Reed. Do you think I’m a fool?” Ivy couldn’t stop sneering. She stated her position emphatically, given their previous fight. “Your family is so devious that they throw mud at me, attack me with the trashiest remarks, and purposefully misrepresent the truth. But you still want me to seek pardon on my knees and even be thankful to you? Don’t you think you’re all despicable?” The mood was gloomy and depressing. Duke’s voice could be heard. "Wyatt did not do this, Ivy." “What’s the difference? Is he not a Reed? Is he really that blameless? Do you believe that every criticism I’ve received today has nothing to do with Wyatt Reed?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
