A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Panic had been flooding Ivy's heart for days now, but no matter how many times it happened, her body never got used to it.

Her heart skipped as she redialed Aria's number, sweat lining up her forehead. She stood up from the chair and began to pace.

As the phone rang, she racked her brain.

What should she do?

When Aria didn't answer again, she immediately

led Theresa.

"Hey Ivy. I didn't know when you left home," Theresa said.

Ivy was too anxious for pleasantries, so she spilled it all out. "I don't know what to do."

"Calm down," Theresa said softly, and Ivy could bet it was the same tone she used with her patients. "When she gets there, call me. I'll call Silas. Keep trying her number."

"Alright," Ivy said and ended the call.

She redialed Aria's number, but it kept ringing with no response. Unable to stand the anxiety, she dashed out of her building, determined to find Aria

herself.

The new gate opened, and a white Porsche drove in. Ivy rushed forward, and was relieved to see Aria behind the wheel.

"That was crazy," Aria chuckled as stepped out of the car. Though her eyes were glistening with tears, and her mouth quivered.

Ivy pulled her into a long hug. When she finally let go, she saw Aria wiping hen face. "Are you okay?"

Aria nodded silently.

"Were you followed?"

Aria shook her head.

"Come, let's go inside," Ivy said, leading her in.

When they reached the office, Ivy pulled out a chair and Aria sat down. She

watched Aria's hand tremble slightly as she set her bag on the table.

"I'm going to call Theresa. I already told her about it."

Again, Aria nodded without a word.

Ivy took her phone and called Theresa, giving her the news.

"Oh, thank God!" Theresa exhaled. "I'm coming there fight away."

"Alright," Ivy said and hung up.

She called Jade on the intercom and asked for a
