    ra remained silent, but her expression screamed defiance. It was a clear signal she wasn’t buying


    into Ivy’s game.


    “Who’s the one behind bars right now, ra? It’s me pressing charges against you, okay? If you want


    any leniency, you better spill the beans and tell me the truth!”


    ra mmed her hand on the table again but earned a stern look from the officer beside her.


    “How could I not get it? If it weren’t for your charges, why would I be sitting here? You’ve ruined


    everything, Ivy. I swear, I’ll never forgive you!”


    Ivy found herughable, “What goes aroundes around, ra. The evil you’ve done is finally


    catching up with you. Why don’t you umte some good karma for yourself? I’ll give you one more


    chance. Who put you up to this? You’re not part of our production crew, so how could you possibly


    know my schedule that day? Not to mention arranging for someone to jump me on my way home? Do


    you really think I don’t know who’s behind it? I’m just giving you the chance toe clean yourself!”


    Ivy’s voice was low but her eyesmunicated unwavering certainty.


    ra faltered for a moment but thenughed, “Ha, you’re hrious, Ivy. If you really knew, you wouldn’t


    be sitting across from me, spouting this nonsense about giving me a chance! You’re bluffing and trying


    to trick me. Do you think I’m as dumb as you imagine?”


    Ivy’s smile faded. She couldn’t understand why ra was so determined to protect Giselle. Now that


    she was locked up, what good would it do to keep Giselle’s secret?


    “Yeah, you’re not as dumb as I thought, you’re dumber,” Ivy retaliated. “If you’re content with rotting


    away in this cell, then by all means, keep your mouth shut. But let me remind you onest time, if youN?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    can’t figure out who’s behind this, then you’ll be pegged as the mastermind. Your acting career, oh no,


    your entire life will be hopeless! You’ll just be the scapegoat for the real viin behind the scenes!”


    ra clenched her fists. “The real culprits aren’t me; it’s those thugs!”


    It wasn’t just Giselle’s warnings that kept ra tight-lipped. She knew the odds of her walking free


    were slim. If she ratted out Giselle, wouldn’t that leave Ivy without any adversary?


    As long as Ivy suffered, ra found sce..


    “Ivy, no one put me up to this. I won’t fall for your tricks! You’re nothing but a two-faced, gold-digging


    harlot, strutting around like you own the ce…”


    ra’s sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. Ivy tried to interject, but ra’s insults grew filthier


    and more unbearable.


    “Fine, if that’s the bed you want to lie in, then off you go. I hope you can keep up this bravado when we


    face off in court!”


    Ivy had lost all her patience. Eventually, the officers took ra away.


    Both officers happened to be Ivy’s fans, shocked that their idol could be so vilely belittled by a no-name


    actress.


    And to hear such unrelenting abuse from her own sister was even more appalling.


    Could a sister really be so heartless as to spew such filth at her sibling?


    But considering ra had gone so far as to hire thugs to tarnish Ivy’s reputation, the vulgar tirade


    seemed within reason.


    Ivy sighed with a mix of frustration and resignation. Her attempts to coax ra into naming Giselle


    were aimed at putting a check on Giselle’s arrogance.


    Besides, Ivy secretly hoped that Balfour would find out about Giselle’s involvement.


    She had a hunch that if she suggested to Balfour that Giselle might be involved, he might not believe


    her. He cared about Giselle too much. How could he believe she was capable of such malevolence?


    “Ah!”
