Chapter 2108
Ivy regarded her with a detached indifference, the same old script she had heard ad nauseam.
She did not think she had done anything wrong. Clara’s distaste for her was Clara’s own problem, a twisted knot in her psyche!
Back home, her mother always insisted that Ivy give Clara some slack.
But it never made sense to her. Clara was the older sister, and more often than not, Clara was the one who messed up. Why was it always her, the younger sibling, who had to step back and yield?
“You don’t want to see me? The one who should vanish isn’t me; it’s you! If you disappear, you’ll never have to see me again, and I won’t make you sick!”

With that, Ivy turned to Raven and said, “Don’t just stand there gawking. You want the rest of the money, don’t you? Whatever she told you to do to me, do it to her now. Get moving!”
Ivy declared coldly.
Clara panicked as the thugs advanced on her. “What? Don’t listen to her. What money could she have? How much do you want? I’ll get it for you, Raven. We’ve known each other forever! You can’t do this to me…”
Blondie suddenly grabbed Clara’s ankle, and she began to struggle wildly, kicking out with her legs.
But a man’s strength was too much for her, and she was crudely dragged away.
Even though Clara had wronged her, Ivy felt uncomfortable with the scene and turned her face away.
“Weren’t you the one who wanted us to do this to lvy? Even told us to take some ‘exciting’ photos to send to you. Why the frantic struggle when it’s your turn? You know fear, huh?” Raven said with disdain.
Clara kept struggling, shouting all the while.
Hearing Raven’s words, Ivy could not help but feel the irony.
What lengths would Clara go to destroy her?
This was beyond simple dislike. What vendetta did Clara harbor to go to such extremes?
“All my life, I’ve never wronged you, yet you’re hell-bent on ruining me! Clara, your comeuppance is here. Blame yourself!”
“Ptooey!” Clara suddenly jerked her head up and spat viciously in Ivy’s direction.
“What’s your act about, Ivy? Wasn’t it you who stole everything from me? If not for you, I would have landed that commercial; it would’ve been me who caught Colton’s eye; it should be me, Clara, in the spotlight, not you!”
Ivy was incredulous. “What have I stolen from you? I was just looking for a regular job; you were the one who wouldn’t let it go, forcing me to fight back. You lost the commercial because of your own actions! I did the ad because they wanted compensation for the loss! It all happened unexpectedly. How can you say I stole from you?
Clara, stop being so domineering. I’m not the little girl I used to be. You should understand that not everything good is yours by default. What you want, you should earn with your own merit, not through these crooked schemes!”
Raven, growing impatient, cut off their back-and-forth debate.
“Enough. You two can catch up later. Let’s get on with her second request. Prepare to transfer the money.”
As he spoke, his hand caressed Clara’s face. “Whoa! Clara, your skin is soft!”
Jack said from the side, “Just looking at her face, you’d never guess she could be so vicious.”
“Man, she’s as nasty as they come. Today, we’re just doing a public service!”
Raven pinned down Clara.
No matter how much Ivy resented Clara/she could not bear to watch this play out and blurted out, “Wait!”
Raven turned his head irritably, “What now? Can’t you get it all out at once? Don’t you know how much men hate being interrupted at times like these?”
Ivy frowned, hesitated momentarily, and said, “That’s enough. Let her go. Consider her capture as fulfilling the second request. That’s plenty.”
