The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 155

Pierce blushed and lowered his head as they walked to the banquet hall’s entrance. Inside, the atmosphere was calm and refined. Ivy could tell right away that this was no ordinary party. She appeared to have noticed Wyatt Reed from a distance. Ivy came to a halt in her steps. Her face shifted slightly. “Pretty Lady, why aren’t you going in?” Pierce asked, noticing Ivy’s stagnant smile. “My father is waiting for us inside.” For a brief moment, Ivy frowned. Her grip on Pierce became firmer. “Your father... What is his name?” Pierce was about to respond when an older man and two other men appeared behind them. “Who are you?” The voice of that middle-aged man was audible. Ivy spun around. The man scrutinized Ivy’s gown and appeared to be irritated. “How did you get your hands on the master’s gown? Gold diggers are not welcome! Get the hell out!” Ivy was enraged at being chastised by a strange man and puzzled. It wasn’t until she noticed the two men trailing this middle-aged man that she realized what was happening. Icarus and Zion Lewis were the two men standing behind that middle-aged man. They were both taken aback when they saw her. Huh? Ivy had a feeling that the party Pierce had invited her to was more than just a children’s party! ‘Could it be...?’ Pierce stood guard in front of Ivy. As he glared at the middle-aged man, his tone was cold. “You are not permitted to be impolite to my guest!” Pierce, despite his youth, sounded eerily similar to his father when he said this. The butler’s gaze flinched slightly as if he was worried. He clenched his teeth and looked at Pierce. “Young Master, how can you casually invite guests to such an event? This is not a place for a rogue to visit!”

Ivy scowled. “Who are you referring to as a rouge?” She was straightforward. After all, she wasn’t in the habit of putting up with other people’s nonsense! The middle-aged man was taken aback and about to reprimand her when Icarus Lewis yanked his arm from behind. Icarus introduced Ivy. “This is Ivy Morgan, the only heiress of Morgan Enterprise.” The middle-aged man was taken aback and looked at Ivy in awe. Ivy’s calm gaze as she assessed him and said indifferently, “It appears you’re not the master either. From where did a servant like you get your attitude?” Even though he was Marco Seely’s butler, the middle-aged man dared not displease these influential people. When he heard Ivy’s harsh words, all he could do was smile bitterly. The butler oddly turned away and told Pierce. “Young Master, those who have not been invited are not permitted to enter. Please take your guest with you and leave.” As he wrapped his arms around his chest, Pierce let out a cold chortle. He spoke casually. “Who gave you the power to uproot my guest?” The butler was taken aback. “This is Mr. Seely’s order, Young Master.” “I invited her with my father’s permission. Who are you to speak to her in that manner?” Pierce was beyond enraged. He was unconcerned about manners and raised his head to glare at the butler. He had summoned his princess with great difficulty, but she was treated so disrespectfully. This was a shambles for him! Pierce was terrified that his lovely lady would be upset with him. When the butler mentioned “Mr. Seely,” Ivy’s body stiffened. She was taken aback. Mr. Seely? There is no other Mr. Seely in the entire state of New York! ‘Is it true that Pierce’s father is Marco Seely? The man Marco Seely who showed up at my house and denied any of my appointments?!’

Pierce chides the butler, who feels humiliated. One of the banquet hall’s waiters approached me. “Young Master, Ms. Morgan, Mr. Seely invites you in.” Pierce snorted coldly at the butler before turning around and holding Ivy’s hand. “Don’t bother with that butler, my princess. I’ll tell Daddy to look for a new butler!” Ivy smiled when Pierce addressed her with a different name. The butler in the back started shaking violently, but it was too late. He had almost overlooked that this young master was not a straightforward child to deceive! What a pity! Icarus Lewis motioned the butler aside. “Let’s get in here as soon as possible! We can’t let Ivy have the first crack at it! How did she appear so unexpectedly here?” The butler clenched his teeth and could only swallow them whole. Every member of Marco Seely’s staff knew the butler, so it didn’t take an invitation for him to lead the two strangers. The waiter who had not yet left took a moment to reflect. “Mr. Seely only asked Young Master and Ms. Morgan to come in. He did not refer to anyone else.” The butler’s expression softened. “Nonsense! I’m this family’s butler! Mr. Seely is not going to hold it against me. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take the blame.” Icarus and Zion Lewis were led inside by the butler. The banquet hall was extravagantly decorated. All of the hotel’s standard furnishings were replaced with high-quality alternatives for this private banquet. Marco Seely put in a lot of time and effort. Wyatt paused for a moment when he saw Ivy walking in with that little boy’s hand. He was quite taken aback. Because Ivy was already here, the car he had sent to pick her up must have been empty. Wyatt was relieved and a little delighted to see her. ‘My girl, on the other hand, never admits defeat. She’ll always figure out a way to get in.’ Ivy froze for a split second when she saw Wyatt, then averted her gaze and pretended not to noticeAll text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

him. Wyatt became speechless when he realized this. Pierce ran over, excitedly grabbing Ivy’s hand. “I brought my princess here, Daddy!” The four attendees were all big industry names. They were taken aback to see Ivy and had a wandering in their eyes, especially Wyatt. After all, Ivy was always present at such public events and was dressed in a variety of high-fashion gowns that were vibrant, stunning, and flawless. It was as if she was born to be the center of attention. Ivy’s gown, on the other hand, was simple yet elegant and appropriate for the occasion. Her waist was perfectly defined, and the dress accentuated her delicate beauty. Wyatt even considered keeping her hidden for selfish reasons. Marco Seely had a chilly expression on his face. He was stunned for a fraction of a second when he saw Ivy’s gown. On the other hand, he stood up as if nothing had happened and shook her hand politely. “Please accept my greetings, Ms. Morgan. You are my honored guest.” Everyone stood up, shook Ivy’s hand, and said hello. They all thought Morgan Enterprise had dropped out, but they didn’t expect the President to show up at the last minute. Ivy gave a hearty chuckle. “Good to see you again, Mr. Seely.” Marco let out a low chuckle and looked helplessly at Ivy’s smiling little boy. “Has this little rascal bothered you in the last few days?” Ivy stroked the back of Pierce’s neck. “Of course not! Our entire family adores Pierce because he is so cute.” Pierce proudly raised his chin and embraced Ivy, refusing to let go. He had a well-behaved smile and squinted eyes. “I, too, adore you, my princess!” Every chance he gets, this boy confesses his feelings for Ivy! Wyatt’s face fell as he looked at Marco Seely and that brat. Surprisingly, they appear to be exceptionally well-balanced.

Wyatt had an uncontrollable urge to kidnap Ivy. The butler abruptly approached respectfully. He cast a glance at Ivy before quickly averting his gaze as if avoiding her. “There is a problem, Mr. Seely...” The butler paused in mid-sentence. The butler’s superficial and deflecting gaze did not escape Marco’s notice. He returned his gaze to the crowd, slightly lowering his eyes. “Excuse me for a second. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Make yourselves at ease.” Ivy exhaled a sigh of relief and expressed her delight. Who would have guessed that Marco Seely’s son was the little boy she had met by chance at the amusement park? She couldn’t have gone to this dinner if she hadn’t been invited. Wyatt moved to the front of the line. From behind Ivy, he spoke softly and magnetically. “You’ve already met him, huh? When?”
