The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 221



Chapter 221

Avery Lamour was aware of having lost her temper. "How do the scale and financial strength of Cadbury Corporation compare to Lamour Corporation? Ms. Morgan, you should not fall for their scheme." She was well aware that the support of Reed Corporation allowed Lamour Corporation to establish a solid foothold in the west. Even though Cadbury Corporation began to expand in recent years, Lamour Corporation maintained a secure position. Reed Corporation would not permit its partners to be subordinate to third parties. If Lamour Corporation and Morgan Corporation could work together, they would reach greater heights and surpass Cadbury Corporation! However, if Ivy decides to collaborate with Cadbury Corporation, Lamour Corporation's archival, they would soon be on par with Lamour Corporation and even threaten their power. It was more detrimental to Lamour Corporation than beneficial. Ivy smiled indifferently and stated, "I recognize Cadbury's sincerity. Concerning whether we will reach cooperation, further discussion is required. If you're interested, Ms. Lamour, you can also submit a proposal to compete with Cadbury Corporation." Ivy politely suggested that Lamour Corporation could submit a proposal, but her words favored Cadbury Corporation. However, Joy believed that Ivy would grant them the opportunity. She did not give it much thought and merely desired to inform her father of the bad news. Joy came up with an excuse to leave. Avery hesitated briefly and then followed her out of the room. Ivy was on the verge of leaving when Avery turned back around. Avery spoke hesitantly and humbly in response to her eyebrow raise. "Ms. Morgan, I now realize my mistake. Can you please be generous and return the project you stole from Lamour Corporation?" Avery believed that if they could not retrieve the project, she would either be tortured to death by Joy or be forced to return to her previous life. She did not wish to become a typical working-class

woman. Ivy's eyes sank. Her smile was crystal-clear and icy. "Miss Lamour, I thought you understood that your apology is worthless to me. I have no obligation to accept it, nor do I care about it. This partnership exists solely to maximize the benefits and interests of my company. I simply transmitted a signal, but the other party quickly responded. I was not required to steal from Lamour Corporation." Avery bowed her head awkwardly and appeared cautious as if she had said something incorrectly. "As you can see, I have no standing in the Lamour family. If they lose such a large project due to my involvement, they will fire me. Joy will not let me off the hook." Avery regarded Ivy. She gathered her courage and bit her lower lip before continuing. "You initially wanted to give me the chance to get close to Mr. Reed because you were sympathetic to me, right?" Avery regarded Ivy with tear-filled eyes. Ivy was apathetic and unmoved. She had no interest in Avery's pitiful existence, especially after the play in which Avery plotted against her. Ivy's small amount of sympathy for Avery vanished entirely. She was not a saint, so she could not help everyone more miserable than she was. Ivy's impatience was mounting. She raised her eyebrows icily. A layer of chilliness surfaced in those lovely eyes. "How about this? I can terminate the contract." Avery regarded her with evident enthusiasm. "Lamour Corporation is liable for three times the penalty and any losses incurred by Morgan Corporation due to the breach of contract. I will immediately abandon this project if you can accomplish this," Ivy continued. Avery appeared to have been struck by lightning and froze in an instant. She opened her mouth, but no sound emanated. "The contract is worth three hundred million dollars. I cannot possibly pay for this out of ridiculous sympathy for you, am I right? Chairman Lamour or Joy Lamour can be notified about this. I'll wait for your news," Ivy added. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Ivy then walked past Avery on her way out. Avery wept in desperation. "This money means nothing to you! Why is Lamour Corporation required to endure this? You are the one who took it away from us! Everything is your fault!" The words of Avery resounded. Ivy came to a complete stop. Surprisingly calm, but with a cold aloofness that seemed to keep others a thousand miles away, was the expression on her face. She turned around and regarded Avery as if she were observing a woman experiencing a psychotic episode. It was bad enough that a person lacked any inner qualities and lacked a brain. Greg was concerned that Avery would do something to Ivy after hearing the commotion, so he opened the door. Ivy’s voice was icy, and her smile was tinged with disdain. “My fault?” Avery looked at her while hesitatingly sobbing. Ivy was exhausted by her hypocritical behavior. “Miss Lamour, if having money is a flaw, then I must be the most wicked and sinful person. If you do not leave my sight immediately, I will cause Lamour Corporation to lose a few more partners. Would you like to give me a try? Ivy’s voice was pleasant, but her words were icy and devoid of any warmth. Avery’s eyes finally displayed a trace of panic and fear. Her act failed to impress even Gil and Joy. How could she possibly deceive Ivy? Greg took a step forward. “The executive president of our European region, President Ivy, has requested a video conference with you. Would you like to accept?” Ivy nodded in agreement before departing. Greg took one look at Avery and immediately arranged for her to be escorted out by a bodyguard. The threat made by Ivy was still ringing in Avery’s ears, so she left Morgan Corporation with her tail between her legs. Lamour Corporation began collaborating with Morgan Corporation for several consecutive days. Ivy delegated the matter to a third party with a lackadaisical attitude and a lackadaisical response. It was Brad Cooper’s birthday.

Vince intended to host a birthday party for him and invited several guests, including Ivy. When she arrived at the club, there were already a large number of individuals singing and dancing. Ivy welcomed them. They were all from the same social circle, so there were no awkward silences regardless of whether or not they knew one another. Brad arrived and was visibly delighted upon seeing Ivy. The surrounding population whistled and whooped. Ivy spun the car key in her hand before tossing it to Brad. “Your gift for your birthday.” When he discovered the car keys, Brad arched his brows and smiled. “Why don’t you just transfer me ten million?” “There is no sincerity in monetary gifts!” Brad was about to speak when he noticed that Ivy had frozen in place. She became rigid when facing a particular direction. “Huh… Why did you invite people from all walks of life?” She actually encountered Wyatt Reed at Brad’s birthday celebration. Brad placed his hand on his forehead in exasperation. Vince welcomed him. He was similarly mute! Because of this, he approached her to inform her that Wyatt had arrived. Ivy curtly retorted. If she had known beforehand, she would have simply requested that Greg send the gift on her behalf just as she began to feel disgusted. Ivy reached unconsciously for Brad’s arm so he could black her. However, she could not grab Brad because Vince suddenly appeared and dragged him away. “Brad, dude, some friends over there came over specifically to sing you a birthday song. Come, let’s amuse them!” Brad was dragged away, and Vince gave Ivy a wink. “Take care of yourself, Ivy.” Ivy glared with resentment at him. Vince was nothing but a scourge! She turned around and wanted to leave in anger. However, Wyatt Reed materialized before her. She was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure. It’s Lysander!

Ivy secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Lysander in a suit was a replica of Wyatt at that precise moment. Unfortunately, his demeanor was feminine and subdued, whereas Wyatt’s movements were noble and incisive. This aura of superiority was impeccable.
