The Billionaire’s Regret
Chapter 29 –

Simon appeared stunned. He recognized the point. "Kiss your brother?" he asked and let out a sarcastic laugh, "quit daydreaming. Ivy is neither insane nor foolish. Therefore, why would she seek a womanizer?" Piper arched her brow, her arms crossed in front of her chest. "If you don't believe me, just ask anyone here," she stated, gritting her teeth, "everyone has seen it."Piper's friends nodded warily. Simon grinned. "Why should I inquire about those with whom you are teaming up? Do you believe I'm stupid?"Piper's face flushed with rage.

"That is true! You inform him, Ivy! And you know what, my brother is just concerned with Alice. You live solely to be able to give her blood. So, put an end to your wishful fantasies of marrying into our family. You will never be accepted!" Piper stated, knowing full well that Alice Perez was a pain in Ivy's side. And every time Alice's name was uttered, Ivy's desperation increased by a factor of two.

On the other hand, Ivy playfully hooked her lips and chuckled in front of others. She cast a cold gaze behind Piper's back towards the girls.

"Miss Reed, the entire world is aware of your brother's involvement with Alice Perez. Your statements merely verified that he cheated on me throughout our marriage. It would be best if you had spoken out sooner," Ivy stated, flashing a mischievous smile that caused Piper's face to burn.

Piper scowled angrily and pointed viciously at Ivy.

"Do you think you don't know who she is?" Whatever she is wearing, eating, and using at the moment is a gift from the men with whom she slept!" Piper yelled, chilling the air.

Piper's squeal alarmed not just those near the second-floor railing but also many others who gazed over one after the other.

On the other hand, Ivy frowned slightly and wore a frigid expression. She had no evident mood swings. As if she were only a spectator to this drama.

"Ivy is a penniless wretch! While she was still married to my brother, she would approach him and ask for money to spend. In our house, she serves as a maid, doing housework. Whenever she goes to our house, our servants take a day off," Piper added, laughing, "my brother married for a maid, not a wife! Geez, she's even worse than a maid," she continued.

Piper laughed uncontrollably and attempted to unveil Ivy's most fragile and unknown side, stripping Ivy of her majesty to disclose her terrible and dreary history. "Piper Reed!"

Unexpectedly, a chilly, gruff voice sounded from behind her.

Piper's laughter came to a screeching halt as she stared back in surprise. "W-Wyatt?"

Piper had no idea how long Wyatt had stood there. His face looked gloomy.

Piper took a step back unintentionally, and her face was dreadfully pale.

Eva Reed, her mother, had already told the servants at the Reed mansion not to speak about Ivy's life while she resided with them.

As a result, Wyatt would never discover since Ivy would never tell him.

Piper was tempted to bite her tongue off at the time. She'd gone insane and blurted out their treatment of Ivy when she was staying with them.

However, she reasoned that Wyatt dislikes Ivy. So, what if he replaces it?

"W-Wyatt, I'm merely attempting to teach her a lesson. This woman tried to seduce you-"

"Oh, drop the act," said Simon, who couldn't help but sneer and interrupt Piper's lies. He was trembling with rage and desired to punch Wyatt too. "Do you still have the courage, Miss Reed, to flaunt such unpleasant acts around as if they were such noble acts? Marrying your brother was Ivy's worst nightmare," he added as he stood securely in front of Ivy, wearing his frigid voice.

"You... W-What's the relationship between the two of you? Could you inform us of the truth? Have you had an affair with Ivy before she divorced my brother?" Piper had not forgotten about hurling mud at Ivy.

"Enough, Piper Reed!" Wyatt yelled at her and could feel the anger in his voice. His heart clenched so tightly that it was hard to breathe.

Wyatt ignored Ivy's grimace and proceeded directly to Piper. His face felt strangely frigid.

"Was what you said true?" he asked, gritting his teeth.

Piper appeared to be a little agitated. She bit her lower lip and was at a loss for words. She grew up in close vicinity to her parents and was estranged from her brother, who was raised abroad.

When Wyatt went back to the country, he quickly established himself as a great first-class businessman, multiplying the Reed family's riches hundreds of times. Piper became intolerably arrogant as a result of this. "Answer me!" Wyatt grunted.

Wyatt recognized Piper's hesitancy and coerced her into speaking. A crisp, cold scoff came from behind him on the left. Without a doubt, he remembered Ivy's laughter.

"Everything is true, Mr. Reed," Ivy stated.

As soon as Ivy confirmed it, the surrounding crowd cast a perplexed glance at these two individuals. They had no idea that Ivy's bright and lovely appearance concealed such a horrible and miserable past.

They felt empathetic toward Ivy after hearing Piper's statements. Following Ivy and Wyatt's divorce, the controversy that erupted online did not appear to be entirely false. And others believed that marrying into a wealthy and influential family was truly hard. Wyatt's body tensed, and he felt as if something was squeezing his heart. Not only did his close friends detest Ivy, but the entire Reed family was tormenting her, and he was naive about everything as Ivy's husband! Wyatt visited their residence only a handful of times over their three years of marriage. Each time, he spoke with Ivy about Alice's health situation to persuade her to donate blood. He'd also be courteous to Ivy, asking whether she had enough money before leaving her a black card and exiting the house.
