Chapter 58: Salty Ex-bestfriend.

When Ivy entered the car, she let out a deep sigh.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Bud asked as he started the car.

"Yes," she breathed, but she wasn't sure anymore. She sank into the car, pressing her

nails into its leather seat to restrain herself from screaming.

She wanted to scream for all the emotions she was feeling. She was angry at

everyone-her father, Cole, and even Silas.

She couldn't believe Silas was seeing Aaliyah, and he didn't even have the decency to do that any other day aside from their wedding day. She pulled out her phone, and searched for the pictures. She had to see it herself.

And there it was, Silas and Aaliyah coming out of his study, smiling. The stupid photographer had even captured a side picture of Ivy in the frame.

She threw the phone, and it bounced off the seat and fell. Bud regarded her from the

rearview mirror.

"I'm okay," she said as she bent to pick it up. "I'm just angry, but I'm fine," she admitted.

"Was that your brother?" Bud asked.

"Yes. My older brother," Ivy replied, looking out the window.

"Sorry about that, ma'am," Bud said politely and turned his attention to the road.

The anger ignited in Ivy's chest as she remembered how Cole had supported her father. Even with glaring evidence, he still believed Thomas was guilty. She had to find the solution, starting from why her dear mother was depressed in the first place.

Her phone rang, breaking her thoughts. She reached for it and frowned when she saw it was an unknown number.

"Hello?" she picked cautiously.

"Well, well, Ivy. I can see you're becoming really smart."

The voice annoyed her. "Cheryl, what do you want?" she demanded.

"I just wanted to congratulate you. You've done so well in becoming a force. I can't believe you threw me under the bus," Cheryl said, laughing hysterically.

Ivy rolled her eyes. "It is the truth. They kept asking stupid questions and I told them the truth," she said, annoyed as she remembered her interview with Luke and Rita.

"I do hope you're ready for this, Ivy Cause you've drawn a battle line." Cheryl's voice became bitter.
