Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 168: Disgusting Liar

Ruby felt something twist in her gut at the emptiness in Ivy’s voice.

Ivy turned her eyes back to her, the hate plain now, raw and unfiltered. "If I could’ve killed you a long time ago," she said quietly, "I would’ve."

Ruby flinched, her breath catching. How could her own twin hate her to the extent of wishing her death? Looking at how unremorseful Ivy looked, Ruby realized Ivy wasn’t her sister anymore. She was an enemy, one she would have to avoid.

Ivy laughed darkly, her eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction. "What? Surprised? You wanted honesty. That’s how much I hate you."

"And if you want to survive this little game, you’ll leave Stefan. He was mine. You took him."

Ruby stared at her for a long moment, then slowly shook her head. "Never," she said, her voice like steel. "There’s no way I’m leaving Stefan. Not for someone like you. Especially since you’re the one who ran away. You made your choice. You walked away from the life you claim was yours."

Ivy narrowed her eyes. "If you hadn’t fallen in love with him, none of this would’ve happened. I would’ve come back, and taken my place again. Like nothing ever changed."

"But it did change," Ruby snapped. "You lost that place the moment you ran away, Ivy. You abandoned it, and now you think you can just walk back in and pick up where you left off?"

She took a step forward. "You had a chance. And you threw it away. Don’t you dare come back now and try to steal mine and no matter what you do, Stefan and I are not leaving each other, ever, you pathetic loser!"

Ivy raised her hand to slap Ruby but before her palm could connect to Ruby’s face, a voice from behind made both of them freeze.

"So you can be such a pathetic liar."

They both turned. Mr. Rogers stood a few feet away, arms crossed, his expression filled with utter revulsion.

"I’ve seen liars before," he said, voice low, "but you, Ivy? You’re on another level. I thought I’d seen the worst in business. But this? This is disgusting."

Ruby’s breath caught. Though she’d wished she hadn’t been alone with this evil sister of hers, she would never have thought Mr Rogers would be there, listening.

Stefan appeared seconds later, walking briskly toward them. "What’s going on?" he asked, confused. "I heard—"

But Mr. Rogers raised a hand.

"Security is on their way," he said coldly, glaring at Ivy. "You’re being removed from this premises immediately. I’m just happy I saw this with my two eyes and can correct my mistake before it’s too late."

"What?" Ivy spun around, eyes wide. "You invited me here. You can’t throw me out!"

"Oh, he can and should," said Rayna, stepping into the light. She was holding up her phone. "And so can the internet, by the way."

Ivy’s eyes bulged. "What the hell is that?" she asked, hoping it wasn’t what she thought it was.

Rayna smiled sweetly. "A livestream. I caught every word of your confession. Every lie. Every threat. You should know that thousands are watching, right now. You’ve officially outed yourself to the world, Ivy."

"You... you bitch!" Ivy screeched, lunging toward Rayna, but Stefan stepped between them in an instant.
