The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 79

Eva and Piper Reed were rattled outside the bathroom stall. “H-How did you get here?” Piper spoke up, surprised, and started to wonder, wasn’t Ivy fired from Morgan Corporation? Eva was a little astonished as well but easily covered it up with a calm smile. “She’s most likely here to die. Ivy, you should know when to call it a day. Not every wealthy family will accept garbage, let alone secondhand garbage like you.” Piper felt more confident. “Are you here to cause trouble? Unfortunately, no one will assist you any longer. Because the Morgan family does not want you, your supporter has left you.” Ivy lowered her head and smiled, then gave them a sidelong glance before walking out without saying anything. Piper was blocking the doorway and had no intention of letting Ivy in. As a result, Ivy simply shoved Piper to the side as she passed her. Piper was taken aback when her body slanted to the side and collided with the wall. She was in pain and about to curse Ivy when she noticed Ivy’s cold dark eyes looking skeptically at her. She was so terrified that she didn’t dare to say anything. After Ivy’s figure completely disappeared, Piper rubbed her sore shoulder and bared her teeth. “She’s an outcast already. How dare she have a hissy fit?! I’ll show her who’s the real boss sooner or later!” The Morgan father-and-son shook hands with their guests in the banquet hall’s center. Leo Morgan had retired and taken a back seat in the company, but he didn’t look a day over fifty because he maintained a healthy exercise routine. Leo appeared to be Cooper’s older brother when he stood next to him. “Chairman Morgan!” “What an honor, Chairman Reed.” Leo Morgan greeted Don Reed with a cold handshake and a chilly voice. Wyatt bowed a little. “Uncle Leo,” he says. “No, no. Just address me as Chairman Morgan.” Leo laughed, refusing Wyatt’s greeting.

Wyatt was taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered his composure. Despite the fact that they had dealt with each other frequently in business, they had little in common on a personal level. Leo was clearly drawing a private line with the Reeds based on his cold demeanor, which baffled Wyatt. Don Reed was unconcerned because he was only conversing with Leo. Cooper Morgan, who was standing on the other side, smiled smugly and turned to look at Alice Perez, who was standing next to Wyatt. “Mr. Reed, no wonder you’re so bossy towards your ex- wife,” he said as he lifted his glass. “It appears that you will be going to announce your marital news once more, huh? I’m curious as to which family’s daughter can make Mr. Reed so dedicated to her.” No matter how sluggish he was, Wyatt Reed could hear the mockery in Cooper’s words. Lines were drawn on his forehead, and he had a glum and dull expression on his face. Wyatt didn’t like people snooping into his personal life, especially since Cooper was deeply involved in a scandal with Ivy. Is he looking for justice for Ivy? Wyatt wondered. Wyatt’s eyes were frosty. Alice overheard this and couldn’t wait to introduce herself. “I grew up in another country. HIJK Enterprise’s Chairman is my eldest uncle.” Cooper politely nodded. “Ah, I see.” “Do you know who my eldest uncle is, Mr. Morgan?” Alice’s eyes glowed. Cooper’s smile was cold and scrutinizing, but his voice was respectful and relaxed. “No, I’m not familiar with him.” Alice’s smile froze as she realized she was embarrassed. She could sense Cooper’s loathing in his words, even though he didn’t say it directly. Even so, Alice believed she was far better off than Ivy, who had nothing to her name. As a result, she was unconcerned about Cooper’s attitude toward her. “But you two look good together,” Cooper added, making Wyatt’s face sink as Alice bowed her head and smiled awkwardly. “Are you so interested in my personal matters, Mr. Morgan?” There was a faint crease between his brows. Cooper pressed his lips and smiled coolly and faintly. “Maybe.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Wyatt still wanted to say something, but Piper came over from behind, holding the hem of her dress. “Alice...” Wyatt’s expression was solemn. “Where have your manners gone?” Piper was so terrified that she immediately stood up and carefully approached them. She then whispered something into Alice’s ear. Alice’s face lit up, and the two girls ran away hand in hand, without saying anything to anyone. Wyatt’s eyes narrowed in displeasure. Cooper was unconcerned. Leo, who was standing nearby, smiled as he noticed this. “Ms. Reed is really bubbly. It must be quite lively at home.” Don Reed burst out laughing. “She’s just been spoiled and has forgotten all her manners. Don’t bother about her, Chairman Morgan.” Leo let out a soft sigh of regret. “It’s a shame my son works all day and is busier than I am, so I only see him at home on weekends.” “Having a daughter is wonderful, Mr. Morgan. We’d probably become in-laws if you had a daughter.”
