A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 100: The Fake Wife.

"What do you mean, not her? Do you know her?" Ivy asked, but it was too late. Rita had entered before Theresa reached them.

"Hey Theresa said, stepping closer. "I thought I saw your cousin right now."

"Yes," Ivy replied with a tight smile. She racked her brain, searching for something reasonable to tell Theresa She couldn't tell her that Rita ran inside because of her "She has work."

Theresa's brow arched. "What sort of work made her suddenly busy?"

Ivy shrugged, moving away from the door. "I have no idea, I guess I'll see her another time"

Theresa nodded. "Alright then."

Ivy's head was spinning with new questions. What was Rita hiding? And what does Theresa have to do with it now?

She turned to Theresa. "So where are you now?" she asked, changing the topic

"Eagleheart, for now, Theresa replied. "I am still around. I should be leaving tonight or tomorrow"

"Alright then" Ivy smiled. "Guess we'll see tomorrow?"

“Sure,” Theresa replied. She walked over and gave her a hug. "Thank you Ivy for today."

"You're welcome, T." Ivy smiled.

Theresa straightened up and walked to her car. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, bye," Ivy waved at her.

She waited until Theresa had driven away, before returning to Rita's house. She needed to know how Rita knew Theresa. and why she had reacted the way she did.

"Rita!" Ivy said, knocking the door, But there was no response. "Rita, please!"

Still, Rita didn't answer, Ivy sighed as she finally gave up. She will try again tomorrow.

She walked back to the car and slid inside. "Take me to my office, please," she told Bud, who nodded and drove.

Ivy leaned back on the couch as she tried to process her feelings. Her thoughts drifted to Theresa's marriage, and her heart dropped. She had gone through the same thing with Mason, and she hoped Theresa's marriage had a different outcome.

Her phone buzzed pulling her out of her thoughts. She picked up. "Hey, Geo." "Hey, Ivy. How are you?" Geoffrey asked, his voice small like he was tired.

"I'm good. How are you? How's Dad?" she asked
