The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 13

Wyatt watched Cooper’s car gradually drift away and squinted his eyes darkly. Ivy, a divorced woman, is like a derailed train, which makes people unable to grasp the direction of travel. Ivy even had to be careful and humble talking to him in the past, but now, she could say those unceremonious words without fear at all. Piper, who was raging in anger, wanted to run forward to stop the car, but Wyatt dragged her by the arm and glared at her. “Enough!” he exclaimed. “Wyatt, how could you be like that?” she turned to face Wyatt, “Ivy bullied me. She ruined me because of the necklace. She threw those insane words, and she dared to forget who gave her shelter, food, and clothing for the past three years?” she asked. She gritted her teeth. Wyatt let go of her sister and pinched the bridge of his nose, and shot a glare at her. “Piper, the jewelry in the safe inside the villa is all for Ivy. You and mom know that.” He unfolds the truth. “I… I—” “But because you engaged yourself with gambling and probably lost nothing, you dared to steal it—” “It’s your property. Our family’s property—” however, she didn’t finish reasoning out when Wyatt cut the hum of her words. “It was Ivy’s.” Even if Wyatt didn’t initiate or show Ivy about it, all his property was shared by him and Ivy—and that is very clear to his family. “Wyatt,” her tears began to pour out of Piper’s eyes, “I am your own sister, and it’s just a piece of jewelry… Ivy doesn’t even attend occasions in the past three years. So, how could she wear it? And she doesn’t deserve to wear—” “Stop with your rants, Piper. Let’s go to the surveillance room first. I want to check it,” Wyatt decided and glanced at his mom, “Mom, stay inside the car,” he added. Eva, who also feared his son, just nodded and went inside the car. Piper’s eyes widened, her tears froze, and suddenly… she gritted her teeth in anger. “Wyatt!” she

screamed, “don’t you believe me? Your own sister?” Wyatt turned to her and arched his brow. “I don’t know. Not until I see what really happened,” he replied and started to walk his way inside. Piper flashed a tint of panic and pulled the strand of her hair in frustration. She walked towards Wyatt and stopped him. “Wyatt, I already said to you that it was her who started it. Look at me. L- Look at my blouse…” Wyatt shot a glare at her and wiggled his hand, and let go of Piper’s grip as he continued walking inside. “Wyatt—” “Shut up!” Wyatt exclaimed, which startled Piper. The owner of the restaurant has been instructed by Cooper a few minutes earlier that he will show the surveillance video if ever Wyatt Reed will ask for it. And after a couple of minutes, Wyatt entered the surveillance room, and the owner guided him inside. Wyatt stood in front of the monitor, and the employee played the video replay. It was a high- technology surveillance camera that could record voices. Wyatt’s forehead started to crease as he clenched his fist while watching the video. Piper, who stood beside him, started to feel anxious. The insults that she threw at Ivy could be clearly heard. Even her mother joined Piper’s side. The two provoked Ivy. He frowned when Ivy talked about the things that she always does in the past three years under his family. So, he was right, Ivy has been their slave, and they didn’t even respect his wife! And every time he’s at work, and her mother came to visit them, and they’re making Ivy their maid, and worst, their slave? Wyatt’s chest started to move rapidly as anger lingers in her heart. His blood quickly rushed, his facial expression darkened, and he stopped the video. He glared at his sister before he walked out of the room. “W-Wyatt!” Piper called her brother and ran outside. “Hey, Wyatt! Wait for me!” she shouted, which made Wyatt stop and turn around to face her.

“How could you treat her like that?!” Piper’s face turned pale. “W-What? I was just angry that she had divorced and found another man —” “That is not the issue for Pete’s sake, Piper!” Wyatt yelled. Ever since childhood, Wyatt knew that he had a wicked sister. Piper, “…” Wyatt’s jaw clenched. “I want you to apologize to Ivy,” he asserted, which made Piper’s eyes widen. “W-What? No way! I will not ever apologize to that slut even if I die,” she exclaimed in her grievance. Wyatt nodded. “Great. Fucking great!” he uttered. Piper rushed towards him. “Wyatt, you have to believe me. Ivy wanted to have all your money—And let’s destroy the man that was with her—” “Damn it, stop throwing nonsense!” he cursed as he pulled his arm out of her grip. “That man is Cooper Morgan. You can’t afford it to take him down!” he asserted and left her dumbfounded. Now, he’s starting to solve the puzzle of why Ivy filed for a divorce. It was not all about him but about his family. Piper stiffened and didn’t move for a few seconds. Great, she had heard the word: Morgan earlier, but she just ignored it because of her rage towards Ivy. So, that was Cooper, the rumored king of diamonds and the mysterious one. And Piper knew that many women wished to win his heart and many other elite bachelorettes wanted to marry him. So, how did Ivy get him? And why is she with him? Piper gritted her teeth and suddenly looked for her phone inside her handbag and made a phone call. “Duke, you have to help me,” she started, “Ivy bullied me and even harmed me,” she added.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
