The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 77

Ivy struggled to keep those raging emotions at bay in her heart. She took a long breath, trying to keep the sourness in her eyes away. Tears indicate weakness, and I’m so stupid! Ivy pondered. Ivy utilized three days to exhaust all of her feelings for Wyatt from the previous three years. She finally realized she should never have hopes for someone who did not love her back. What difference does it make whether Wyatt Reed did it or not? What’s more, he’s expecting her to kneel before them and ask for forgiveness. They even act like angels, bestowing so-called kindness on her just before stabbing her to death. What a prank! Ivy was able to see the entire issue with greater clarity after removing her love specs. She could finally view it clearly and realized that it was all based on their hatred for her. Even though she was surrounded by generations such as Cooper Morgan and Simon Albert; even though she had exceeded expectations and baffled everyone with her actions and character; even though she was the Vice President of Morgan Corporation, which was impressive enough to get people’s attention; nothing seemed to matter. In the view of the Reeds, she remained the helpless pushover with no background, money, or power. According to them, Ivy was merely a gold-digging, cunning lady who wanted to marry into a wealthy family. As a result, the Reeds were unethical and used their power to press her to the wall, attempting to make her life so monotonous that she appeared to be a complete failure. When Wyatt heard Ivy’s comments, which stung him like a thorn in his heart, Wyatt’s heart sank. It was excruciatingly uncomfortable and suffocating. He was well aware that every abuse hurled at Ivy was wrong. These days, Wyatt was working to turn the situation around. Still, Don Reed used all of his contacts and resources to ensure that the situation worsened, increasing the impact on Ivy. Furthermore, Wyatt was preoccupied with a client issue in France, so he was unable to address Ivy’s controversy. There was no way to please all parties now that matters had progressed to this degree. Ivy’s only option was to make a compromise.

Wyatt requested that Ivy hand up the pipe to his grandfather to appease him and distract his focus. Then he may seize the moment to reclaim control of the media. He sought to clear Ivy’s name and limit the damage by clarifying the truth. “Let’s talk about the rest later, Ivy. What is more essential is that the problem is solved.” Wyatt spoke again, this time with patience. Ivy scowled. “Don’t waste your time. It doesn’t bother me because I’m used to being criticized. Wyatt Reed, you should remember that the most unfortunate thing in my life was falling for a jerk like you! It’s a good thing it’s just been three years. I’ll just chalk this up to a nightmare! Also, please inform Chairman Reed that I will find a suitable home for the emerald pipe.” Ivy then hung up the phone without hesitation. Her tears had already clouded her vision. When she first divorced, she recalled that she wanted to know if Wyatt had ever been moved or touched by her feelings for him. But she couldn’t and wouldn’t ask him because asking would entail defeat. This was because Wyatt Reed had never accepted her as his wife. Ivy didn’t want to humiliate herself any longer. The response was no longer important, and Ivy simply thought the question was silly. How ridiculous! The last three years of marriage have been a soul nightmare! Ivy pondered. Duke saw Wyatt’s grim and strained expression when he looked at the disconnected call. “This woman doesn’t know any better,” he replied, laughing nervously. “Don’t bother with her, Wyatt. All you have to do is wait for the heat to go away.” He’d never seen a lady criticize Wyatt Reed so openly and without even giving him a chance to respond. Ivy is unique! “By the way, I was invited to Morgan Corporation’s anniversary party. According to what I’ve heard, they’ve also invited a large number of mainstream local and international media outlets to the grand event. Don’t worry. They might take advantage of this occasion to clarify the situation with Ivy.” Wyatt’s gaze was uninterested. “I’m not worried,” he said, his face chilly and his voice cold. “Ignore it. She’s not going to appreciate it anyway.” Ivy’s thoughts were unknown to Wyatt. The scenario was stressful, but Ivy refused to take the peace

leaf they extended to her. Did she really believe the Morgans would accept her? Will Cooper Morgan, on the other hand, truly marry her? Anyone who gets engaged with Ivy will be in tremendous trouble. That idiotic woman! Wyatt pondered and shook his head. Cooper Morgan personally sent out Morgan Corporation’s anniversary invitations. Almost every renowned and influential person in the country was on the guest list. The most unexpected thing was that they had turned down all brand sponsorships for this anniversary event. They had also recruited the most fabulous event planners to ensure that everything, from the place settings to the drinks and meals, was of the highest quality. Everyone could see how significant this anniversary event was to the Morgan. Ivy’s online shaming was no longer as intense after a few days. There would be a hired keyboard warrior who would throw insults at her from time to time. The quest for @RichBaby, the affluent mystery woman from that live-streamed shopping spree, has taken the place of Ivy’s scandal as the most talked-about issue. During that live video, @RichBaby purchased luxury products worth $800 million without first asking for a price. As a result, the identity of @RichBaby was widely questioned for quite some time. Except for the chat recordings from that day’s live stream, no one knew anything about this strange person. Netizens theorized that she would have to pick them up somehow because @RichBaby had purchased the live-streamer’s stuff for that session, which was valued at $800 million. To learn more about this @RichBaby, they only had to pay attention to the pick-up process. Ivy sat back and relaxed while watching the show on the internet. She didn’t expose herself or make a sound, leaving the audience to wonder. After all, Ivy wasn’t in show business, so she didn’t have to reveal all of her details to the world. The Morgan Corporation’s anniversary gala was hosted in the business district’s largest banquet hall, which could seat a thousand people. It was a semi-open arena with views of most of the lively

city from the higher floors. They could see a river that ran through the city’s north, and south ends, as well as a few prominent landmarks, from there. The massive digital panels on those skyscrapers served as advertising space, which was typically billed by the second. Morgan Corporation had purchased all of those digital billboards that night to display congratulations text about their anniversary—It was a costly, low-key exhibition of prosperity. The event’s high prices astonished the businesspeople, celebrities, and journalists who attended. They were all astounded that Morgan Corporation would celebrate a single anniversary in such a spectacular manner. Ivy arrived at the venue’s lounge early. Leo Morgan had to help his daughter choose the nicest clothes and jewelry while Cooper Morgan was outdoors. Everything must be flawless. Even those accustomed to expensive labels were taken aback when they arrived at the location since the gowns were all one-of-a-kind high fashion custom-made for Ivy. Several renowned international designers collaborated for several days to develop the concept and design of these dresses. All thirteen of these costumes were gorgeous collectors’ treasures, and the scene set a world record. “Which gown do you like for your first presentation, Ms. Morgan?” With a smile, the designer inquired. Ivy couldn’t take her gaze away from the thirteen gowns in front of her. All of them were stunning and wonderful. Leo waved his hand and exclaimed, “Just wear whichever is the most costly!” before she could say anything. Ivy remained silent. “Chairman Morgan, these gowns can no longer be appraised in terms of money,” the designer said humbly. Ivy smiled and gestured to the light gray drop-shoulder gown, which appeared simple, graceful, and noble. It was beautifully inlaid with hexagonal-cut diamonds and was very stunning. “This one.” The designer approved with a nod. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You have a good eye, Ms. Morgan! The first impression should be the most powerful. If the dress is overly lavish, it will detract from the primary character and will not appear appropriate. This dress has an exquisite style despite its modest tone. Each diamond is meticulously chosen for its clarity, and the placement of the inlay highlights the greatest features of your form. It will highlight your petite figure and white skin even more! It’s totally wonderful with these heels!” The person next to the designer stepped forward, holding a pair of high heels that were equally as pricey, elegant, and faultless. Leo nodded several times, but no one was sure if he comprehended what the designer stated. Anyway, those were words of praise for Ivy, so he was pleased! “Where has the jewelry? What happened to the items I had someone buy from the European royal family?” Leo Morgan asked. The person on the side swiftly and gently carried it over with both hands. “Here it is, Sir. It was right off the plane and is in excellent condition.” Leo cast a glance, nodded, and turned to face his daughter. “See if you like it, my princess. If you don’t, I’ll have someone change it for you. I also bought other jewels, but this is the most expensive!” Ivy let out a soft chuckle. She took a quick look at the jewels and saw that the collector had done an excellent job of preserving them. The purity of the diamond was stunning. However, the design was not very sophisticated. It was only a modest necklace in the shape of a flower, which matched the dress well. “It’s lovely. This will suit.” Suddenly, Cooper knocked on the door and came in as soon as Ivy said this. “Dad, the Reeds have arrived.”
