CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Upon hearing that, Ivy's expression changed dramatically. "What nonsense are you spouting now?" She looked around at her followers, her panic turning into rage. "Someone, gag her! Shut her up!"

Then, an even more malicious thought struck her. "No, cut out her tongue. I want her to never speak again."

Her threats and frantic behavior revealed her insecurities. The more she tried to silence Nina, the more evident her guilt became. If it weren't for the things Micah had told Nina, she wouldn't have been able to provoke such a reaction.

Nina let out a cold laugh.

Ivy looked at her with satisfaction. "What? Are you scared? Beg me for mercy, and maybe I'll consider leaving you in one piece!"

Nina retorted, "You won't answer me directly and now you want to silence me. Feeling guilty, aren't you? Even if you kill me, a lie won't become the truth."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Ivy had hoped to see Nina grovel.

Faced with death, she should be afraid like everyone else who cowered under Ivy's power. Why wasn't she afraid? This was a direct challenge to Ivy's authority.

"If you want me to shut up, you'll have to kill me," Nina taunted.

Ivy's face contorted with rage. "You think I won't?"

She grabbed a knife from one of her followers and pressed it against Nina's face. "You may not fear death, but I'll make you wish you were dead. First, I'll scar your pretty face. Once it's ruined, no one will like you. Then, I'll cripple you, make you useless."
