The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 169

‘Mr. Reed wants to send me abroad?! That would be torturous in comparison to my current workload! Will I be able to return? Did he hear what I said earlier on the call?’ Rosie considered. As she trembled, her panic spread from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head. She was well aware of Wyatt’s current fondness for Ivy. Wyatt was also a man who kept his promises. Rosie immediately dialed Eva’s number and pleaded in tears. Eva rushed over in less than an hour, enraged. She happened to run into Ivy, who was out shopping. Eva burst through the door, fuming. Without hesitation, she scolded Ivy, “You vixen! You’re divorced and still seducing my son?! We allow you to reconcile, but you are feigning unhappiness and unwillingness, yet here you are! How opportunistic can you be?” Ivy cast a cold glance at Eva. Indeed, Eva was as heinous as a sever! “I hope you’ll be a little more cautious with Mrs. Reed's words. Do not believe that I will cave into your demands simply because you are older.” Eva became enraged. Ivy lacked manners! She was accustomed to directing Ivy in the past. She assumed Ivy would refrain from retaliating, but Ivy did. Eva discovered that she was incapable of fighting Ivy at all. Eva found it revolting that a woman like Ivy would dare oppose her. Rosie rushed over to Eva and sobbed. “Madam, Mr. Reed wishes to move me out of the country. You must help me.” Eva sneered and fixed her gaze on Rosie. “Do not be concerned. Nobody will be able to send you away while I am present. You can feel secure while staying here. Even if someone does not wish to see you, you may remain!” Ivy cast a sarcastic smirk across her face. ‘Did Eva suffer from persecutory hallucinations? Was she under the impression that I had asked Rosie to leave?’ On the other hand, Ivy was unconcerned with explaining, let alone wasting time.

Ivy gathered her belongings and prepared to leave. On the other hand, Eva had not intended to let Ivy leave so quickly. She took a step forward to confront Ivy. “Ivy, I’m warning you: Do not attempt to harm my son. Do you believe that no one is aware of your activities?” Ivy arched her brow. “What have I been up to?” “You wish to murder my son! You compelled him to consume an unknown medication. I’m monitoring you!” “Who are you monitoring?” Wyatt’s voice was icy as he fought back his rage. Ken was standing directly behind Wyatt. Eva took a look at Wyatt and rushed over. “Wyatt, this lady...” “I previously informed you. Piper will be unable to return for another ten years if you cause trouble again.” His voice lacked warmth and carried a chill. Eva’s face flushed. “I’m doing this for your good!” she exclaimed, enraged. “Preserve it.” Wyatt’s teeth gnashed as he said this. Eva aimed her finger at Ivy. Her voice was hoarse, and her face was savage. “Didn’t you see how she just treated me? Do you wish for me to kneel at her feet?” Ivy gave a cold laugh and shifted her gaze to Eva. “Mrs. Reed, my demeanor is adequate. You should not expect things to remain the same as they were previously, nor should you seek out ways to step on me. I’m considered generous for not retaliating against you, so count your blessings.” Eva’s body trembled in response to her words. “How could you?! My son’s leg is paralyzed to save you!” “Yes, your son saved me, but how does that relate to you? Should I express my gratitude to you? Don’t you believe that you have an unrealistic view of yourself? Don Reed did not comment, but you’ve traveled here to flaunt your presence.” “Ivy Morgan, you have the audacity...” “Mrs. Reed, it is perfectly acceptable if this maid does not leave. In any case, I can always send her

to the island that I was stranded on. There is no doubt that it is more interesting there.” Ivy glanced at Rosie as she spoke. Her tone was one of sarcasm. Rosie shuddered and blanched in fear. Ivy smiled and strolled out the door. ‘What an inauspicious way to destroy my mood!’ Eva lost her mind. “Abolish this woman! I will not permit your union!” Wyatt sternly reminded her, “You have no say in my business.” Eva hissed at him, gnashing her teeth. “You are my child. How are you going to disobey me?” Wyatt’s eyes remained calm and uninvolved. Wyatt would call Eva whenever he was homesick from when he was sent abroad to receive special training at the age of five. Eva, on the other hand, who was busy shopping, would simply tell him impatiently to persevere and grow. Eva would then inform Don Reed that Wyatt had secretly called her in exchange for Wyatt receiving a beating. ‘Now that I’m an adult, she believes she can exert control over me? How absurd!’ Wyatt’s lips curved into a bitter, heavy smile. “If you are expelled from the Reed family, I will no longer be your son.” Eva’s body trembled violently. Her face darkened instantly. Eva never imagined Wyatt would say such words, not even in her dreams. Wyatt’s face gradually collected his emotions. When he looked at Ivy’s departing back, his brows were relaxed, and his gaze was gentle and soft. Wyatt’s eyes glowed with longing. Eva felt as if she were about to collapse at that point. ‘My daughter is not in the house. My son has never treated me as a mother, and even Ivy dares to mock me! How could she?! I am the Reed family’s matron!’ She was so enraged that her body trembled. ‘It is entirely Ivy’s fault! Nothing would have changed had it not been for her.’ She had only one thought—for Ivy to vanish at the moment.

Eva glanced around and noticed the fruit knife in the table’s fruit bowl. She was adamant. She snatched up the knife and dashed out the door. Wyatt was taken aback. He attempted to stand. However, excruciating pain in his right leg rendered him immobile. “Ivy, be careful!” he screamed. Ivy was about to turn around when Bill yanked her to the right. Ivy was unable to react because it occurred so quickly. “Go to hell!” Eva screamed from behind Ivy, her eyes bloodshot. Ivy ducked as a flash of cold light appeared behind her. Eva swung the fruit knife erratically at Ivy. She tripped and fell unexpectedly. The fruit knife ended up sinking into her stomach. Instantaneously, blood gushed out. Ivy was taken aback for a brief moment. She looked at Eva, lying on the ground in agony, her eyes rapidly dwindling in vitality. Rosie collapsed in shock and sobbed. “Do not frighten me, Madam! Are you okay?!” Wyatt’s face flushed with surprise and rage. His eyes flitted open. Bill opened the car door for Ivy expressionlessly. “Miss, be careful with your head.” Ivy lowered her eyes and entered the car immediately. Bill cast a glance behind her at Eva and Wyatt. “The car’s dashcam captured evidence of Mrs. Reed’s attempted murder moments ago. Ms. Morgan retains the right to pursue this regardless of Mrs. Reed’s injuries.” Numerous subsequent complications could have been avoided with a brief statement. Rosie, kneeling behind Eva, raised her eyes in surprise at them. Eva’s face was hideous, but she lacked the strength to say anything. The engine of the car roared to life. Ivy sat silently in the car and closed her eyes. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Bill, acting as her driver, initiated the conversation, which was an unusual occurrence. “Do you wish to return to Morgan Mansion, Miss?” Ivy’s nose was scrunched up. “Not quite yet. If I leave in that state, it will appear as though I am guilty. They are the ones who are at fault.” She was not looking for trouble. Eva purposefully came over to cause a scene. Eva’s lower abdomen wound did not prove fatal. She would simply lose a great deal of blood and endure the pain. ‘She has earned the right to be in this situation!!’ Ivy deemed this without the slightest trace of guilt.
