Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Ryan's jaw clenched and dead silence fell upon the room as he tried to take in Lora's words.

'So, Ivy has been lying to me all this while? How long has it been since she could walk?' Ryan mused, disappointment creeping into him.

It all made sense... Ivy's refusal to hire experts who could treat her legs. The way she insisted on always being treated by her physiotherapist and no one else...

Deep down, he had been suspecting that there was something wrong. Even if she refused Ryan's help, Ivy was from a wealthy family and they couldn't fail to find expert doctors who could help her walk again.

However, he couldn't directly ask about it since she got hurt because of him... it would make him look ungrateful if he became suspicious.

Who knew she had been lying to him for so long? It made him wonder just how many lies she's told.

"Lora... I've really been a fool. To think I hurt you a lot all because of Ivy's deception... I swear, I'll never forgive her for this. She's going to pay and regret ever deceiving and playing with me," Ryan said through gritted teeth. Lora's eyes widened in shock. "You believe me?"

She didn't expect Ryan to believe her since he had always believed Ivy.

Ryan sighed, his heart breaking. His hatred for Ivy grew when he realised it would take some time for Lora to trust him again.

He glanced at Lora and said, "Of course, I believe you. What reason would you have to lie about such a thing? Ivy is most likely to lie about such things."

Ivy plagiarised Lora's work and tried to play victim, Ryan realised what kind of a two-faced woman
