The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 10

Wyatt could feel that his anger had nowhere to vent. Alice hit the trigger inside him. She’s too much. Now, he can understand Ivy’s behavior towards Alice. All along, that’s the way they treated Ivy? And he’s too numb not to feel it? Ivy never dared to act ruggedly towards others for the past three years. She’s always been kind and humble. That’s why Wyatt thought she was doing fine. Aside from Alice, his mom… who else has been treating his wife like that for the past three years? Wyatt shook his head and gritted his teeth as he stared at the faded image of his car. He can’t be with Alice in the meantime, and he hates her behavior. It’s the thing that he can’t tolerate. He started to walk and put his hands inside the pocket of his trouser when a sports car stopped beside him, making him stop. The car window on the passenger seat slowly moved down, and the person inside waved at him. “Get in the car,” the man said. Wyatt sighed when he saw Duke, a family friend. Duke had also gone to the banquet to socialize and find a woman that is willing to spend a night with him. However, what had happened in the pool area ruined his mood. When he saw Wyatt leave, he then followed along and wouldn’t have thought that he would see Wyatt on the side of the road. Wyatt entered the passenger seat and opened the window as he lit a cigarette. “Did you see how fierce Ivy was? And what is her relationship with the famous bachelor Cooper Morgan?” Duke asked before he maneuvered his car. Wyatt frowned after hearing Duke’s question. He suddenly felt irritated by it. Even he doesn’t know the answer. “Lucky you are because there’s no reporter; otherwise, it will cause you trouble again. However, there’s someone who took a video and worst, and they put it on the—” “I don’t want to talk about it,” Wyatt interrupted. Duke sighed. “Seems like Ivy has grudges against you, or against Alice. I don’t know, but it seems like someone hits the trigger inside her, and she exploded. It will add commotion to your family.

good thing was, you two are di—” he paused when he saw Wyatt’s death glare into his peripheral vision, “-voced,” he continued. Wyatt leaned his right arm into the window and pinched the bridge of his nose to calm himself. If Duke won’t stop, he’s afraid he might punch him. However, Duke, who has an itchy tongue, still continues to talk. “It seems like Ivy was much closer to Cooper than you. And I really didn’t expect that Ivy could do that and have this kind of ability— ouch!” Duke exclaimed when Wyatt hit him on the chest. “Dude! Are you trying to kill us?” Duke uttered. “I will kill you if you don’t stop,” Wyatt asserted, wearing his chilly voice. Duke pressed his lips and sighed. “Would you like to have a drink?” he proposed. Wyatt just nodded. Besides, he desperately needed to get rid of the irritability inside him. THE NEXT DAY. Inside the conference room, Cooper brought Ivy to the company and officially introduced her as the new vice president. The members of the board then started to ask questions about them. They were asking if they were sharing an intimate relationship. However, neither of them explained and only laughed at it. As Ivy was an heiress of the Morgan Family—one of the most influential business tycoons in the business industry, she can’t just announce her true identity. She must gain the trust of the people that formed the company. She needs to work for her title. Besides, declaring her as the company’s VP is such a big opportunity. There were many complaints from the board members, but no one dared to oppose Cooper’s decision. Cooper appointed his confidant Mr. Greg Smith to be Ivy’s secretary. Greg will take two hours a day to teach her personally, and Ivy will need to stay at Cooper’s office for two hours before work. Cooper shook his head when he saw Ivy, who was sitting leisurely in a rocking chair. “You are so lazy. Next time, let dad teach you personally,” he threatened. Ivy sat adequately, and she shot a glare at her brother. “No way!” Cooper let out a soft chuckle. “Anyway, it will be the anniversary of the Morgan Corporation in two

days. And dad will have another project. You can try it,” he said. Ivy let out a sly smirk on her lips. “Well, I’m going to get it,” she replied. Cooper smiled. “However, it’s not as easy as counting numbers. And I will not be there to guide you since I have a meeting abroad on those days. And Sebastian should come back.” “When will Sebastian come back?” Ivy asked about her third brother. As Cooper is the firstborn child, then Ryan as the second, Sebastian is the third born, and she is the youngest and the only girl among the four successors of the Morgan family. “Tell me, and I will pick him up,” she added. Sebastian is an actor, and it’s been a long time since Ivy last saw him in person. She misses that punk so much. Cooper shrugged his shoulder and shook his head. “I don’t know. Anyway, I will treat you to dinner. Let’s go,” he said and gestured his head in the direction of the door. Ivy then nodded, and they left the company. After a few minutes-drive, they entered a luxurious restaurant. And what a small world it is. Inside, Ivy saw Eva and Piper Reed. Piper shot a glare on Ivy and scrutinized her from head to toe. Ivy frowned because of Wyatt’s older sister. She then arched her brow, making Piper get furious. “Where the hell is the manager? Why are they letting stinky garbage inside this magnificent restaurant?” Piper shouted, which caught people’s attention inside the restaurant.
