The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 210

Morgan Corporation’s lounge. Avery Lamour’s face was pale as she sat there, and she appeared disoriented. Because the news of her dismissal had not yet been made public, it was still not too late. Gil Lamour worked hard to get her into Morgan Corporation. Avery couldn’t imagine how she’d return to her worthless self if Gil discovered she’d messed everything up. She’d come a long way from being an illegitimate daughter and was just one step away from being free of her nightmares. She felt like she was hanging off the edge of a cliff at this point. She’d be pulverized if she made one wrong move. “Ms. Lamour.” Avery abruptly stood up. She was nervous and worried. Greg approached politely. “Ms. Morgan has two meetings in a row and cannot take any time off right now. Please return.” Avery’s face was pale as she spoke. “I don’t get it. Why have I fired so abruptly?” She was still hoping that what she had done would go unnoticed. She was even more nervous yesterday when Wyatt ignored and humiliated her. She still had a chance as long as she stayed with Morgan Corporation. Avery would not give up. Greg chuckled lightly. “You’d have to ask yourself, Ms. Lamour, what you’ve done to offend Ms. Morgan.” He didn’t need to know why Ivy was so upset, and he knew how to deal with even the most obnoxious of people. Avery’s face turned pale. In an instant, her eyes sank. Since the incident, it had only been one night, so how could Ivy have discovered it so quickly? She bit her bottom lip. “I’d like to see Ms. Morgan. I must personally explain it to her. I can apologize to her if she is dissatisfied with anything I’ve done.” She appeared displeased as if she had endured all of the unequal and unjust treatment.

Greg’s eyes were a little dull, but he kept his professional demeanor. “There’s no need to apologize, Ms. Lamour because the price you paid was being fired. You should resume your role as the Lamour family’s Young Lady. President Ivy leads Morgan Corporation. She is not in the mood or has the time to deal with ordinary employees. We can only do what she says because this is her order.” In a panic, Avery spoke eagerly. “I’m the daughter of Gil Lamour, no matter what. Is this how Ms. Morgan will treat me?” Greg’s response was cold, and he did not look up to her solely based on her identity. “Then you should summon Chairman Lamour to deal with Ms. Morgan.” Following that, Greg approached the bodyguards on the side and said, “Please escort Ms. Lamour out.” “Yes, sir” Avery was agitated and perplexed. Her face was red-hot as if she’d been slapped in public. Greg’s meaning was immediately clear to her. She was only the chairman’s daughter at Lamour Corporation. Ivy, on the other hand, owns the entire Morgan Corporation. They were not on equal footing. As a result, Avery was unqualified to meet Ivy. Avery stood there, terrified and surrounded by bodyguards. “Please…” If Avery left Morgan Corporation, her situation would become even more miserable when she returned to a home that was not hers, but she had no other choice. ‘Why? Did Ivy already learn about the incident?’ Avery stood stiffly outside the office building in the sun. Despite this, the hot sun did not provide her with any warmth. Instead, she felt a chill that moved up her spine from the soles of her feet. Ivy didn’t have to question her, and she didn’t even bother to listen to her explanation. She didn’t want to hear Avery’s nonsense. Ivy might have expected Avery to deny it even if she confronted her. Avery had never felt so weak as she did now, sitting on the garden steps at the entrance, drenched in a cold sweat.

Avery looked up at the tall, luxurious skyscraper in front of her, which appeared to be a cold-hearted giant beast ready to devour her whole. She was just a lowly person who had no right to be there. Avery's unconventional tactics were exposed in the open. There was no way out. She sat there until dusk because she dared not to leave. She had devised numerous strategies to deal with Ivy's reactions. What would Ivy punish her for? Would Ivy become enraged, annoyed, or strike her? Ivy was aware of Avery's target, Wyatt Reed. As a result, she assumed that Ivy would treat her differently no matter what. However, she suddenly realized that she was nothing to Ivy at this point. Ivy could fire her at any time, just as she could hire her openly. Ivy walked confidently out of the office in her stilettos. Aside from her bodyguard and assistant, some department heads flanked her sides to seek her advice on pressing issues. They all looked at Ivy with adoration and respect. That kind of commanding aura was beyond Avery's comprehension. Avery became aware of the distance between herself and Ivy. Even if Avery's status as an illegitimate daughter of a chairman was legalized, the vile selfishness in her bones made her feel oppressed and abominable in comparison to Ivy, who was so honest and upright. Avery suddenly lost the courage to explain herself in front of Ivy at that moment. Should she let Ivy laugh in her face when she was already a joke? She came to a halt and began walking in the opposite direction. Reed Corporation. Ken had noticed that Wyatt's mood had been very unpleasant recently and that he had been very unforgiving and resolute when dealing with company matters. As a result, he deduced that Wyatt's relationship with Ivy was not going well. Everyone reported their work with trepidation. By the end of the day, Ken had knocked on Wyatt's door and entered.

"Mr. Reed, I just got word that Morgan Corporation terminated an employee today." Wyatt raised an eyebrow because Ken would never make such a minor announcement as firing ordinary employees. "It's Avery Lamour," he said confidently. Wyatt's eyes widened with disgust. His voice was as cold as ice. "She deserves it." Wyatt was unconcerned. "Madam Reed just called saying that Ms. Lamour has nowhere else to go, so she wants Ms. Lamour to work in our company," Ken added. The temperature in the room dropped in an instant. Ken braced himself and observed Wyatt's stiffening face. Wyatt's eyes were dark, and his tone was harsh. "We will never accept trash at our company." These were ruthless words. Ken gave a slight nod. "Understood." He had no choice but to devise a strategy for dealing with Eva. Wyatt was silent for a split second before speaking indifferently. "Get Avery Lamour out of the place my mother found for her. I don't want to see her anymore." Ken's entire body shook. He knew Wyatt couldn't stand Avery Lamour any longer. "Yes, President." He didn't dare to ask any more questions and went right to work. Avery returned to her apartment after not receiving a response from Reed Corporation. A polite middle-aged man was waiting for her at the door when she returned. "This apartment has been retrieved, Ms. Lamour. Could you please rent another?" Avery's face became pale. For a brief moment, she appeared befuddled. "This place was rented to me by Mrs. Reed." "We're just carrying out orders. Regardless of your presence, we will clear out the apartment early tomorrow morning. This was a demand." 'Am I being swept out the door? Who else is unconcerned about Eva's orders?' Without having to think about it, Avery knew the answer. She'd really irritated Wyatt this time. She had no choice but to pack her belongings and flee back to the Lamour villa for the night.
