The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 205

Ivy had a smug smile on her face. She nodded to the others and raised an eyebrow at Simon. “Albert, this business expansion of yours is quite sudden, huh?” Simon leaned into her and whispered. “I’m just lucky to have you! I didn’t expect to clear it out so quickly…” Otherwise, Simon would have to pay for his big talk out of his own pocket. The two bigwigs sat in the front. The signing ceremony was simple, solemn, and quick. This time, the main character was Simon because he was the organizer. Naturally, everyone’s attention was focused on him. Ivy sat next to Simon and stole the limelight, as always. Simon and Ivy were surrounded by others for small talk as they talked joyously. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed. The people surrounding Wyatt and Marco were those who wanted to patronize them, which was a completely different scene from Ivy and Simon. Marco and Wyatt looked restrained and calm as they looked at the other side. They both could not help but feel like they were helping a love rival. In the middle of the reception. Ivy frowned when she saw Wyatt limping over. She took a few steps forward. “Mr. Reed, you can find someone to attend on your behalf if it’s not convenient for you to move around.” Wyatt’s eyebrows relaxed a bit. “I wanted to come personally to ask when you will be coming back to Hudson Yards.” In the beginning, she promised that she would stay with him until he was fully recovered. Ivy paused for a moment. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be there. Isn’t Ms. Lamour here for you, Mr. Reed? If I go back to Hudson Yards, I’m afraid the entire Reed family would want to skin me alive!” Wyatt’s eyes sank slightly. His face immediately turned glum when at the mention of that name. Sure enough, everyone knew what the Reed family was going for. Ivy was so smart, so how could she not see it? “No one else but you have any possibility of being my wife, and no one can decide

for me.” Wyatt’s tone was resolute. His eyes were extremely firm. Ivy lowered her head and smiled as if nothing had happened. “Forget it. The Morgan family and the Reed family’s relationship finally eased. “If we repeatedly challenge each other’s patience, I’m afraid that it’ll be difficult to mend it later. We should look towards common interests, don’t you think so, Mr. Reed?” They were business people, so of course, interests came first. Wyatt held his breath for a moment. His eyes carried a hint of helplessness. He wanted to talk to about his feelings, but it turned out that she only wanted to talk about money. “I’ll solve this matter as soon as possible, Avery Lamour was an eyesore to Wyatt. He did not want to drag this on. Ivy laughed and did not say anything. Simon came over from the side holding a glass of wine. He sized up Wyatt. “Mr. Reed, thanks a lot, but I’m curious as to what prompted you to lend a helping hand?” Wyatt Reed was not someone who did charity without a purpose. Wyatt’s voice was cold and deep. “If it’s not for Ivy, do you think it’s for you?” Simon raised his eyebrows. This answer was within expectation. He keenly noticed the dignified and poised Marco on the side and hurriedly greeted him. “Mr. Seely, it’s an honor. Thanks for your timely help, but I’m curious as to what prompted you to lend a helping hand?” Ivy shot a warning glance at Simon, telling him not to stir up trouble. Simon was completely unconcerned and ignored her warning. Wyatt swept a glance at the two men. His gaze finally landed on Marco as well. Marco smiled faintly and spoke. “Isn’t it normal to do what we can for those in need? The people in those mountainous regions need our help, and as businessmen, we have the responsibility and obligation to dedicate some resources to public welfare. Mr. Albert, I’ll gladly oblige if you have more of such plans in the future.” Simon was dumbstruck. Ivy was also stunned with admiration i n his eyes. Wyatt speechlessly looked away. ‘Hah! What a hypocrite!’ Simon Albert hitched a ride with Ivy after the reception ended, and everyone dispersed. He kept complimenting Marco Seely on the way back.

“This guy is on another level entirely. He’s so different from the rest of us!” Ivy agreed with a nod. The research and development project at ABC Corporation was going according to plan. They produced some new results within a few days. The new project assistant, Jack, who was stationed at ABC Corporation, was feeling a little overwhelmed by such a large project, so he proposed that Ivy send some extra personnel. Ivy agreed as well. After all, the project had progressed to a mature stage, so the complexity and professionalism had increased significantly from the beginning. Greg sent Ivy the list of new hires two days later. Ivy took a closer look at it. Greg appeared to have something to say. “Everyone here is a graduate of a prestigious university. Do you want to choose one?” She took up a stack of papers and casually asked, “Who is the most outstanding in this batch?” Greg remained silent. Instead, he reminded her. “There’s someone in here you wouldn’t expect to see.” Ivy cocked her brow. Curiosity drove her to flip through a few pages casually. On one of the pages, she noticed a familiar photo. Her smile froze as her hand lurched. ‘What the hell happened?’ Greg coughed a little. “Avery Lamour, the daughter of Lamour Corporation’s Chairman.” Ivy wrinkled her brows as she examined Avery Lamour’s details. She graduated from a typical domestic university and had no notable accomplishments. Such credentials should not even be in front of her. “I heard that Chairman Lamour personally greeted our HR Department, so this resume was sent here,” Greg explained, “but the final choice is still in our hands,” he added. Ivy’s eyes flickered slightly. She snorted lightly and tapped her fingers on the desk as if nothing had happened. Avery Lamour appeared to be prepared to fight a long war. Or maybe she wanted to go into MorganContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Corporation on purpose? Whatever it was, it piqued her interest and piqued her curiosity. Ivy pressed the corner of her lips together. “Then get her to assist Jack.” Greg nodded. “Understood.”
