The Billionaire’s Regret
Chapter 35 –

The gentleman was prepared and stripped his shirt without flinching. He uncovered his chest and posed as directed. Ivy was the only female present and was taken aback when she witnessed this. Her cheeks reddened, and she cast a glance toward Liam Saver. "What on earth is this," she asked. "We're gathering numerous samples of human anatomy to produce a variety of humanoid partners to suit a wide range of preferences."

Ivy finally grasped the concept following Liam's straightforward explanation.What a fantastic task.

Liam's helper entered the room urgently and whispered a few words into his ear. Liam took a severe expression and shifted his gaze to Ivy. "Vice President Ivy, please stay and keep an eye on things here for a while longer. I'm going to have to take a few of these guys with me." Everyone instantly followed him out as soon as he spoke.

Ivy was left speechless and alone. "Do we have to continue?" she muttered to herself as she felt the "tiger" in her arms.

The following person entered the room, but she didn't bother to cast a glance at the newcomer. She sat motionlessly; her gaze fixed on the LCD screen on the table. While she attempted to calm herself down, she waited for the person to rise and automatically appear on the screen.

"Begin stripping," she commanded, and her tone was similar to that of the staff before. It was serene, typical, and flawless!

Because the individual in front of her remained immobile, she frowned and urged him. However, it didn't move, so she needed to encourage him once again. "What is there to fear? It'll be brief-" Ivy became enraged and raised her head. Her head buzzed at that very time.

The man in front of her had dark, deep eyes with a chilling glitter in them. It was, in fact, Wyatt Reed.

She regained her calm fast and grimaced slightly. Isn't it slated for Reed Corporation to arrive a few days later? Why is he here at this time?

For a brief moment, the atmosphere became stagnant. They all remained silent. Liam Saver, fortunately, returned in time. "I forgot to inform you, Miss Ivy, that Mr. Reed will arrive today," Liam said.

Liam noticed the other two people in the room and picked up on the room's uneasy mood. "Oh, you've met..." he continued after a brief pause, pretending.

"I was still a step behind schedule," Wyatt replied. He locked his gaze on Liam. "What is this business with stripping?"

Liam regained his composure and laughed. "Oh, great! Mr. Reed, you, too, have an excellent figure. Why don't you remove your clothes and allow us to scan and examine your body? Are you interested, Miss Ivy? I'm curious as to who will get to choose a robot with Mr. Reed's likeness," he stated.

Ivy rose to her feet and spoke plainly. "I'm not interested."

She was ready to leave when the "tiger" in her arms sprung from her arms and dashed to Wyatt's feet. It brushed its head on Wyatt's feet and tugged on his jeans with its two tiny paws, whining, "Daddy... Daddy... Carry me..."

Ivy cocked her head in surprise. Wyatt's face was icy and morose as he reached down and gripped the neck of the "tiger." Its four legs were flailing about in mid-air and protested as if it were excruciatingly painful. "Do not grip my neck. It's uncomfortable!"

Wyatt was enraged and clutched the tiger. He did not appear astonished and appeared to be well familiar with the tiger's disposition. Wyatt raised his gaze to Ivy and desired to say something, but Ivy only gave the tiger a chilly glance and grunted before turning around and walking away without looking back.

Liam couldn't help but smile faintly as he gazed at Wyatt's increasingly glum expression. "She was so taken with the tiger just now that I was afraid, she'd ask for it, but once you stroked it, she didn't even want to look at it anymore," he said.

Wyatt cast a cold gaze at Liam. Liam then just pinched his nose and was wise enough to be silent.

Ivy exited the building and immediately received a call from Windy, inviting her to join her for lunch at a nearby mall.

Ivy was upset and needed to unwind, so she notified Greg and proceeded to see Windy.

They went to a freshly established restaurant together. Windy had reserved a table in advance, so they did not need to wait. They placed an order for a meal.

Windy looked at her phone and laughed aloud as they were almost finished eating.

"Look at this stupid Simon!" she remarked as she gave her phone to Ivy.

Ivy cast a glance at it and noticed Simon's new post on his social media account. Simon had cut away the image of Ivy and Wyatt dancing and substituted his own face for Wyatt's.

She shook her head when she read the caption: This is more precise! She arched her brow when she saw Duke liked it, and her eyes grew wider when Wyatt, somewhat unexpectedly, wrote a comment below.

Ivy had long since blocked Wyatt and stopped communicating with him. She was surprised to see his name in Simon's post.

Wyatt Reed: Knock-off!

His comment didn't do any harm, but it was highly offensive, making Simon angrily make a dozen comments undernaath denouncing Wyatt Reed, but there was no other response. Wyatt Reed: The battle was over.

"Simon doesn't have anything better to do, huh?" Ivy rolled her eyes aimlessly.

"Everyone can see he's interested in you, so why don't you give him a chance? You can use this occasion to annoy the snot out of Wyatt Reed," Windy suggested.

"I'm not going to be romantically interested in my closest and dearest friends. If I were, I'd have made a move on him long ago, so stop spouting bullshit," Ivy replied.

Ivy scowled, pondering how she should handle the matter with Simon.

"Then forget it. Anyway, I've got my eye on a necklace-want to come with me to take a look?" Windy asked.

Ivy agreed, indicating that she needed some retail therapy, and the two exited the restaurant, making a beeline for a specialist jewelry store.

Windy had reserved this necklace a long time ago, and it was really lovely when the attendant took it out.

"The legend, Mieux, makes this necklace. You have great taste. Would you want to try it?" The girl behind the counter recognized that these two individuals wearing such expensive-looking attire were not regular clients and showed them the store's newest products. "Try it on," Windy said as she approved and handed it to Ivy.

Although Ivy did not buy frequently, she had an abundance of jewelry. Every holiday or birthday, her brothers' gifts to her were enough to fill a jewelry store, and she would obtain the latest models of jewelry on the market without asking for it. Going to shops and trying on jewelry, on the other hand, was far more pleasant. Ivy was about to try on the necklace when she heard a taunting voice from behind her.

"Try it on? Can she even afford it? Hey you, don't just let anyone try on your pieces of jewelry because her stench will cling to the necklace, and you won't be able to sell it."

Piper and her friends were out shopping when they came across this scene. The scent of barbecue from Ivy and Windy's meal earlier had gotten stuck on their clothes, so Piper couldn't help but speak up. She'd suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Ivy the last time, and she was so enraged that she couldn't eat for a few days.

"What does that have to do with you?" Windy asked, her face turning frigid.

"I want this necklace! Don't let anyone try it because I'm scared it'll get dirty," Piper stated arrogantly. "How much pocket money did your sugar daddy give you? You probably don't have enough to buy it, right? It's better if you just save it," she tightened her teeth and glanced at Windy, then sneered at Ivy.

"Please wrap it up for me," Ivy asked the store clerk as she placed the necklace on the counter. She looked at Piper with a cold and clear gaze that held a hint of warning, and Piper was shocked, nearly feeling the horror of that day all over again, but Piper was quickly empowered.

Piper thought that Ivy wouldn't dare to make a move since customers and the jewelry staff surrounded them.

"I said I'd take this necklace," Piper interjected, not letting Ivy have her way no matter what.

"Sorry, but they came first," the store clerk said cautiously.

"What did you say? I'm a VIP customer and deserve the greatest treatment! I deserve priority on whatever I want!" Piper smugly stared at Ivy.

The rules of this store stated that VIP customers had the first pick.

The store clerk looked regretfully at Ivy and Windy and was ready to take the necklace away when Ivy gently placed her palm on it, the corner of her lips slightly curled up.

Ivy took a special black gold card from her bag, which was an exclusive VVVIP special card recognized internally by all international luxury brand stores; it was only given to ten celebrities worldwide, and even a particular royal family did not get a chance to see it-it was extremely precious and rare. This card entitles the bearer to preferential treatment at any luxury brand store around the globe.

"M-Miss, I'll wrap everything up for you right away," the store clerk said after looking at the card for a few seconds, ignoring Piper's words, and proceeded swiftly.Visit Job ni b.com to read the complete chapters for free. If you are not reading this novel on Narugi -com, some sentences are incomplete. Piper was still stunned and grudgingly questioned her, saying, "This is fake, right? Don't let her deceive you!" she asserted when she picked up Ivy's black card. Despite the fact that Piper had never seen or touched this card before, it was a legend in the gentry circle. The photographs of this mythical card that were occasionally leaked left a significant impression on her.

Ivy snatched the card from Piper's hand and arched her brow, enough to be mocked by her.

How did she obtain it? What right did she have to have that card? How can she keep it? Piper thought.

The store manager came over promptly to drive away further customers. "We must request your immediate departure because we will now be required to serve this consumer solely."Ivy smirked. And Windy couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and kick her out," as she pointed at Piper, her famous posture coming out-the bitch thing "Geez, my eyes are hurting every time I see her," Windy added.
