The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 83

Ivy curved her lips silently and didn’t say anything else. Everyone finally got it. The Reeds invented this slanderous farce with the intent of defaming Ivy. It was simply impossible for an ordinary person to make a comeback if this happened to them. With the Reeds’ power, it was as simple as snapping a finger to sentence an ordinary person to death. Ivy was not so kind as to cover up the Reeds’ wrongdoings. She would, of course, take advantage of the opportunity to show the world how disgraceful and shameless the Reeds were. Don Reed stood there, his shocked expression betraying his panic and a deep sense of regret. What had been done could not be reversed. Ivy was not expected to be the heir to Morgan Corporation! It’s no surprise that the Reeds couldn’t find any trace of Ivy’s past, even after using their connections when Ivy and Wyatt first married. As a result, they believed her when she claimed to be an orphan. If the Morgan family wanted to, they could easily hide her past. Is this divorce for her to get on the right track for the future? Wyatt’s brow furrowed, and his eyes were cold when he heard Ivy’s words. His heart sank suddenly. Was marrying me a mistake in her life? He thought. “Ms. Morgan, was the real reason for your divorce was due to a third-party interfering in your marriage?” The reporter pursued the question, which reminded everyone of the scandal that erupted during their divorce. Countless sighs and discussions could be heard in the hall. Alice Perez’s name came up again as a third wheel. She had confirmed her identity as Wyatt’s mistress by coming over as his female companion this evening. Alice had intended to aggravate Ivy’s situation by showing up, but she had not anticipated that she would shoot herself in the foot by doing so. Ivy paused, lowered her head, and laughed softly. “Mr. Reed and Ms. Perez are a perfect match. Like everyone else, I wish them the best.”

There were a lot of eyes on the Morgans and the Reeds at this point. The words of the reporter and Ivy made Don Reed’s face unimaginably glum. Eva, too, wished she could bury her head in the sand. Despite the fact that no one said anything expressly, everyone’s gaze was filled with hatred and mockery. How could they treat Morgan’s heiress in such a way? Wyatt Reed married a secret billionaire and almost took over the entire Morgan Corporation, but they were too blind to pass up such a great opportunity on their own. Wyatt’s eyes were cold and submerged as he stood there. His face was tense, and he didn’t look away from the onlookers. His suit was crease-free, and he was staring intently at Ivy, who appeared to be glowing in the light. He was experiencing a range of emotions in his heart at the time. In this type of situation, Wyatt could still maintain his calm and steady persona, as well as his ambivalent and reserved poise. It was clear that Wyatt Reed had witnessed so many dramatic events that he was not easily shaken. Ivy gave him a sidelong glance and a faint smile. “There’s no need to bring up trivial matters from the past. Tonight, I have even more surprises in store for everyone!” Everyone returned their attention to Ivy on stage. “A few days ago, I bought out a live-stream online shopping session,” she said gently and clearly. “I’ve kept a few items for my company’s employees as a small welcome gift, but there are still a lot of private collectors’ items, bags, necklaces, and watches that haven’t been released in the market. Please take part in our raffle over there if you’d like.” Everyone exclaimed… “How much money did the Morgans spend on hosting this gala?” “Wait a minute... live stream, gifts, private collectors’ items, not released in the market?” When a reporter regained his composure, he couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Morgan, are you Rich Baby, who shocked the internet a few days ago by purchasing $800 million in goods online in one afternoon?” Ivy, who only smiled and pursed her lips softly, drew everyone’s attention. “These are just a few tokens for all of the employees at Morgan Corporation’s affiliates. I didn’t expect it to get so much attention. I sincerely apologize for consuming the media’s resources.”

Morgan Corporation had so many branches and branches that $800 million in luxury items was not considered extreme. It’s possible that there won’t be enough to go around. Everyone was stunned and speechless. Ivy is known as @RichBaby! It’s no surprise that those internet sleuths expended all of their efforts and still couldn’t figure out who was behind this account handle. Ivy spent $800 million to buy out the entire live stream session so that the live streamer could shop for her in Europe from afar. She had quietly assumed her identity as a billionaire while everyone was belittling her! Simultaneously, photos from Morgan Corporation’s anniversary gala had already gone viral on the internet. Ivy’s picture on the digital signboard atop the Pearl Tower across the stream was the most direct way to reveal her identity. Oh my gosh, this is legendary! A billionaire conceals her identity in order to marry a man of lower social standing, only to reveal herself to be the richest young woman after their divorce?! This plot sounds like it came straight from a TV show! The Reeds are terrible! They believe Ivy is easily bullied and have even hired keyboard warriors to insult her. Don’t they feel bad about how they treat a lady like that? Ivy’s comeback is fantastic! Goddess Ivy! You are amazing! I adore you 3000x I had passed through a dozen crosswalks earlier and noticed Ivy’s picture prominently displayed on every building. She easily outperformed all of the other actresses vying for those ad spots. I’m witnessing history being made! Is Ivy @RichBaby? Isn’t her username a little too straightforward? Why is she so adorable?! Ivy’s act of spending $800 million did not elicit hostility from the audience inside the banquet hall. Instead, they were all moved by Ivy’s genuine concern for each and every employee in her company. Ivy swept her gaze to Don Reed with a light mockery in her pretty eyes after everyone had stopped and looked at her kindness. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Aside from that, I bought an emerald pipe from Mrs. Reed at a charity auction earlier this month.” Ivy paused to observe Don Reed’s panicked expression, then continued to speak slowly, “Chairman Reed, I’ve decided—” “Wait a minute!” Don Reed couldn’t take it any longer and took a step forward, interrupting her speech. He could put up with Ivy hiding her identity, deceiving them, and making his family look bad, but the emerald pipe could not fall into the hands of others! “Ivy, you know the emerald pipe is a family heirloom for me. Now I’m willing to pay ten times the price to repurchase it from you. Consider the extra money to be our family’s compensation for you.” The person who was the first to speak always had the upper hand. According to Don Reed, Ivy was still a little incompetent to take on an old-timer like him. Ivy paid $30 million for the emerald pipe. It was simply more than anyone could ask for now that it had risen to $300 million. Although this was a sizable sum for many, it was equivalent to a slap in the face for Ivy Morgan. Everyone’s gaze was drawn to Ivy as they sensed the tense atmosphere between her and Don Reed. Her smile was bright and beautiful, and her eyes sparkled like stars. “Chairman Reed, I’m so rich and don’t need that petty cash from you,” she said calmly. “The emerald pipe’s worth is no longer quantifiable in monetary terms. Because this artifact has such historical significance, I’ve decided to donate it to the National Museum for free.” Ivy smiled, tilted her head to the side, and extended her arm to greet the person standing there. “This is the National Museum’s Director. All of you here bear witness to this special event in which this emerald pipe finds a fitting home in a museum for all those who respect and love history. Everyone will be able to share the story of this emerald pipe in the future, and I believe it will be far more beneficial than it will be in the hands of Chairman Reed alone. As a result, Chairman Reed will undoubtedly support my well-considered decision.” The man who approached Ivy on stage appeared assertive and honorable. He brought two of his subordinates over and gave a brief speech of thanks. The man then took the box containing the emerald pipe from Ivy’s hands and left it in front of the guests.

Leo Morgan smiled as he looked at his daughter, pleased with her performance. He returned to the stage to say a few more words before allowing everyone to socialize as they pleased. On the other hand, Leo Morgan would not let the Reeds get away so quickly. Don Reed’s face turned bright red with rage at this point. He was so frustrated that he couldn’t even speak. Ivy had defeated him using her own methods, effectively putting an end to Don Reed’s plans to reclaim his emerald pipe. Even if she sold it to someone else, the Reeds could still repurchase it because they were willing to pay any price for it. On the other hand, Ivy had made the unexpected decision to donate the emerald pipe to the National Museum, and more importantly, with so many influential people present. Even if Don Danilo Reed possessed the necessary skills, he would never dare to steal from the museum! Without a doubt, he had completely lost this game! “All right, let’s go!” Don Reed turned and walked away. He couldn’t care less about social niceties and didn’t want to be here any longer. “Chairman Reed, please give me a minute!” Leo Morgan and Ivy walked over together, both with cheery smiles on their faces.
