The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 81

Wyatt Reed couldn’t figure out why he was so irritated and impatient. In such circumstances, how does Ivy have the fortitude to come here? Does she still have high hopes for Cooper Morgan? Can’t she see that everyone looks down on her and wants to avoid her? Furthermore, the flowers she was holding were extremely unpleasant to him. Wyatt had a glum expression on his face as he looked at Ivy. “It doesn’t matter what you’re up to,” he said irritably. It would be best if you had not chosen today for all days. Everyone is watching you, so if you do something out of character, even I can’t protect you!” If that’s the case, Don Reed wouldn’t be the only one against Ivy; the entire Morgan family would be as well. Ivy burst out laughing, but her eyes were cold. “Protect me? Mr. Reed, when was the last time you protected me? I believe you’re just afraid of being involved by me and dragging your family into it.” Aren’t the insults I’ve had to endure from everyone is because of the Reeds? Wyatt still has the audacity to say such unrealistic things? Does he really think she’s a fool? Wyatt’s heart gripped as he heard her words. He frowned tightly, knowing in his heart that Ivy must despise him and his family but unsure how to explain it to her. “Ivy...” Alice Perez dashed over from a short distance away and took a seat next to Wyatt. “It’s entirely my fault,” she said softly. “I know you despise me, and I don’t blame you for what happened the last time, but please don’t cause a commotion here. It’ll just make things awkward for both parties.” Ivy’s gloomy gaze fell on Alice. “Blame me?” she said, hooking her lips. “Do you have no sense of shame?” Alice gave Wyatt a humble look. He didn’t seem to blame Ivy at all. She paused for a moment, then tried to pretend to be irritated and unselfish. “You’ve already divorced Wyatt, Ivy. Are you going to hate us for the rest of your life just because of what happened in the past?” Ivy gave her a stern look. “Are you even worthy of being remembered for the rest of my life?”

Alice’s expression darkened. “Wyatt and I both hope that you can let go of the past and start over,” she said, biting her lower lip. “Today is the anniversary gala for Morgan Enterprise. If something bad happens, you will be unable to keep your head above water. The most important thing to remember now is to look at the big picture!” Wyatt cocked his brow. As he looked at Alice, his gaze was intense and chilly. Alice’s words made him feel extremely uneasy. Ivy twitched her lips as she stared at the scumbag and bitch in front of her. Each of them was more hypocritical and despicable than the other, which disgusted her. Have you considered the big picture? When I leave, am I looking at the big picture? Ivy pondered. “Who will benefit from that? What about you? You want me to leave so that no one knows you and your partner had an adulterous affair? Stop being so horrifying and save that pathetic bitch act. Both of your existences are the biggest joke in town.” Ivy was frustrated, but she didn’t want to continue talking with these two, so she only left that sarcastic remark. She saw Brent waving at her from a distance, so she drifted a glance at the two people in front of her and walked away without saying anything. Alice was unhappy with Ivy’s judgment. She looked at Wyatt from time to time, hoping he’d speak up for them. When Wyatt heard the words “adulterous affair,” his face became visibly cold, and his eyes became extremely dark. He stood there, watching Ivy’s back fade away in front of him, then withdrew his gaze and turned to leave. “Wyatt… Why did Ivy become this way? She appears to despise seeing us together. She appears to have had enough of pretending after such a long time.” Alice spoke timidly as she waited for Wyatt’s reaction. Why is he so unconcerned about Ivy’s outburst right now? she wondered. Wyatt frowned slightly and spoke in a cold tone. “What exactly are you trying to say?” Alice was taken aback, bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned a little red. “I was trying to say that Ivy might have a point. Others will misinterpret us if we appear together. So, perhaps I should leave

first.” She was well aware that Wyatt would not let her go first. For one thing, it would be disrespectful to the Morgans. Furthermore, if Wyatt did not have a female companion by his side, it was unavoidable that others would speak to him. Alice only proposed this so Wyatt would notice her presence and realize how understanding she was compared to Ivy’s recklessness. Wyatt’s expression was solemn. “All right, get the driver to send you back,” he said indifferently, looking at his watch. He then turned around and walked away without looking back. Alice was left alone at the door, looking lost and depressed. “Alice, hurry up and come here! My mother is looking for you all over the place.” Piper gave her a friendly wave. Alice dashed over to Piper as if she’d seen her savior. With Eva and Piper around, Wyatt isn’t going to send her away. “What’s the matter? What did you and my brother talk about that caused you to look this way?” “Nothing.” Alice gave a hasty smile. Her skin was ashen. Why did Wyatt let me leave? She thought. Alice had no idea she’d shoot herself in the foot. Wyatt, who used to respond to her, has been avoiding her lately. She had the impression that everything had changed since she returned from her trip abroad.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
