The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 126

The forest’s grass and trees were wild and tall, with massive leaf canopies shading the sky. Occasionally, rays of sunlight penetrated the leaves. It was vivacious and calming. The path was extremely rugged, and walking through it required considerable effort. They needed to arrive at the scheduled checkpoint before dark to receive supplies. They would have to sleep on the rocks otherwise. As a result, Ivy was not in the mood to cooperate with Mirasol at this point. On the other hand, Mirasol was adamant about adding frills to the situation. “Ms. Ivy, I just assumed that because you and Vince have been through so much together, you must have some feelings for one another. I am not referring to anything else.” Ivy was irritated by Mirasol’s cautious expression. She came to a halt a dozen meters further down the tree-lined path and looked back at Mirasol. Mirasol was unprepared for Ivy to come to a halt suddenly, and as a result, she took a step back and stood firm. She awaited Ivy’s reply. Ivy locked her gaze on Mirasol; her eyes were cold and indifferent. “Since I am two years younger than you, Ms. Mirasol, you are not required to be as polite. As I previously stated, you may simply call me Ivy.” ‘Why the hell is she calling me Ms. Ivy? Am I her professor?!’ Ivy thought. Mirasol’s face flushed. She could now see Ivy’s annoyance and panicked subconsciously. “Ivy. I-I’m sorry.” “Also, we’re on an adventure, not an emotional variety show, so I’m not required to share my private thoughts and feelings with you. Don’t you think the most important thing right now is to get past the waypoint?” Mirasol had to admit that Ivy possessed a unique aura in comparison to other actresses. Ivy’s clear and cold smile could already make others feel the strain. Her gaze was piercing as if she could see right through anything with a single glance. Mirasol’s heart’s darkness instantly had nowhere to hide. The audience watching the live stream in anticipation of some drama immediately commented on

this scene. Ivy is so cool and direct, to the point! Awesome! Mirasol is a tad nosy. Why would she ask such a private question if she is not even acquainted with Ivy? Ivy is such an uncomplicated character! I can tell she’s been tolerating Mirasol the entire time and has finally had enough! While I am intrigued by Mirasol’s question, what Ivy said is also unquestionable! Mirasol did not do so on purpose. She is merely attempting to form a bond. Ivy is simply too delicate. With due respect, I believe Mirasol is a bit of a two-faced bitch, particularly in front of Ivy. The two ladies were unaware of the live commentary. Ivy’s words made Mirasol feel humiliated. She recognized that she had exceeded her boundaries and felt a twinge of guilt. Her face was flushed. Mirasol’s nervousness was palpable in front of the camera. She appeared agitated. Ivy was revealed to be neither a wealthy nor a capricious princess, much less an easygoing lady. Mirasol could even envision how Ivy’s fans would expose and criticize her thoughts. On the other hand, Ivy gave a faint smile and looked at the cameraman. Her tone was even and serene. “Remove this part later.” It was not a conciliatory tone, nor was it a strong command. Ivy spoke plainly and did not permit others to object. She then turned around and resumed her walk. The cameraman came dangerously close to dropping his camera. He desired to convey the message, ‘I am capable of removing it. However, I am powerless to affect the live stream at the moment.’ Mirasol finally remained silent and did not dare to speak as she kept up with Ivy’s pace. That cave did not appear on the map Ivy had previously viewed. Because it was not on the map, there must be something fishy going on. Ivy poked at the weeds that covered the cave entrance with a stick. Mirasol also had the foresight to advance and help.

The cave’s interior was pitch black, and the ground was flooded with water. It was foreboding and gloomy. Even the smell was intolerable. Ivy inhaled deeply and cautiously approached the space with a flashlight. Mirasol stood on the outside, observing. She pursed her lips and spoke with apprehension. “Ivy, this cave lacks cameras, so I’m not convinced this is the location we’re looking for. Let us avoid squandering our date’s efforts!” Her filmmaking experience taught her that locations devoid of cameras must be unimportant. Ivy walked ahead and stated flatly. “At that point, you may wait outside.” She did not attempt to coerce it. Ivy’s cameraman had already followed her inside, leaving Mirasol outside with her cameraman. Mirasol shook her head. She gritted her teeth and followed Ivy into the cave despite her reluctance. Otherwise, if a billionaire heiress like Ivy can enter this dark cave while Mirasol remains outside like a wimp, Mirasol will face backlash from netizens. Mirasol was about to overtake Ivy when she screamed. “Ahh!” When Ivy heard the scream, she turned around. Mirasol appeared to have twisted her ankle. She was lying on the ground when she began to break out in a cold sweat. She even cried. Ivy returned in haste upon seeing this. “What happened?” Mirasol forced a smile, but her pale face revealed her anguish. “My ankle was twisted. I’m truly sorry for delaying you.” Ivy squinted. “Should I first contact the staff to arrange for your return?” “No. I am not returning. I am still capable of holding on.” Mirasol clenched her fists. Although the pain was excruciating, she knew that she would endanger her reputation if she left in this state. Then the opportunity for which she later fought would be for naught. Before Mirasol’s arrival, she reasoned that Ivy’s forthright and cold demeanor would be refreshing to

the audience for a time. However, what viewers really desired was an individual with a high level of emotional intelligence. If Mirasol can establish a strong presence and become a regular on this show, she will be able to elevate her status in the show business. Thus, she would not simply leave. Ivy made no demands, as this was her own choice. She searched the area and discovered a thicker branch leading from the cave entrance. “Walk with this.” Mirasol took over and expressed gratitude, then braced herself to stand. Although she was no longer in pain at the moment, her mobility remained impaired. Ivy rose beside Mirasol, who winced in pain with each step. Her legs became shaky, and she was on the verge of collapsing. Mirasol tugged subconsciously on Ivy’s warm. Ivy also clutched Mirasol and intended to hold on until she stood firm before releasing her. On the other hand, Mirasol mistook Ivy’s intentions and refused to let go, limping inside with Ivy supporting her. She appeared to be crippled. Ivy was at a loss for words and pursed her lips. She couldn’t push Mirasol away, so she had no choice but to allow Mirasol to hold her. ‘I need to change teammates!’ On the live stream, there was a frenzy of comments. Mirasol is so conscientious! What a pitiful young lady. She is deserving of popularity! Did they already reconcile? Ivy has such a sweet disposition! Mirasol does not appear to be pretending. If she is truly injured, she should rest. Health is paramount! What fantastic teamwork! The deeper they went into the cave, the darker it became. It was a little unsettling and chilly. Ivy felt little but next to her. Mirasol continued to cower and looked as if she wanted to leap on Ivy. Mirasol would occasionally shriek alarmingly. The camera crew accompanying them was enthusiastic about capturing every expression on theirUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

face. Inside, approximately 50 or 60 meters, there was complete darkness. They’d reached a dead end.
