Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 80

Ivy froze when she heard that voice. A chill ran down her spine and her heart jumped to her throat.

She glanced at the crowd, wondering if she was hearing voices.

Did Lora come back to haunt her as a ghost?

Soon, a woman emerged from the crowd. She looked hot, wearing a red sequin off-the-shoulder gown with a highslit.

The woman was the epitome of beauty. She turned heads wherever she passed... She looked so graceful and elegant and her presence commanded the hall's attention.

Everyone watched as she gracefully made her way up the stage and Ryan was quick to approach her. He smiled before holding her hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her fair hand.

“You’re just on time for the show,” Ryan remarked, a smirk playing on his lips.

The woman smiled and replied, “I couldn’t miss it for anything in the world.”

At the same time, Ivy’s jaw had dropped to the floor. She glanced at the woman with wide eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"N-No... it... it can't be! You're dead! I made sure of it!" Ivy yelled, grabbing her head in denial. This bitch had died... she had seen the warehouse go up in flames herself!

“Lora Davis, how are you still alive?” Ivy questioned, glaring at Lora.

Lora turned to look at Ivy, a smirk playing on her lips. She replied, “Surprised? Did you think you had won because you trapped me in a warehouse and set the place on fire to kill me?”

Gasps echoed around the hall. Ivy tried to kill Lora?

Everyone was shocked that Ivy was that type of person. She always seemed like a kind person.

Ivy clenched her hands into fists and glared at Lora with unmasked hatred. She spat, “I hate you so much, Larisa, Lora or whatever you call yourself! Ryan was only supposed to love me… but you came in and stole him from me. You married him and that’s the crime you committed… the only way you could pay for your crimes was to die! Why couldn't you stay dead? I killed you twice and you're still alive!”

Another round of gasps echoed through the hall as the audience put two and two together. So, Lora Davis was Ryan’s ex-wife, Larisa? No wonder Ryan seemed to be interested in her the moment she returned to the country… they had history together.

What was even more shocking was that Ivy had tried to kill Lora twice. She was a cold-blooded murderer!

Lora scoffed. She looked at Ivy and questioned, “Ivy, do you even love Ryan? I doubt you do… you’re just selfish. You didn’t love him and that’s why you left the city… did you come back because things didn’t work out for you?”

Anger flashed through Ivy’s eyes. Lora had hit the nail on the head. Many years ago, Ivy wanted to advance in her career, so she wanted to go abroad. At that time, she was still dating Ryan. However, it wasn't known whether Ryan would inherit the company, or his father would take over as CEO and Ivy wasn't patient enough to see what would happen.

An opportunity presented itself and Ivy went abroad with the guise of treating her legs. However, she got stuck with her design career and decided to return and get Ryan back after she heard that he had taken over as CEO and the company was thriving.

It was too late though since Ryan was already married to Larisa. This was why Ivy did everything she could to get rid of Larisa...

Ivy glared at Lora and yelled, “Shut up! Who are you to judge me? I left but so what? I still came back to claim what was mine. You stole him from me… you’re a homewrecker!”

Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “The homewrecker is the one who came between a married couple. I never did anything to you and I was willing to leave Ryan to let you two be together, did you have to kill me?”

Ivy laughed like a maniac. She replied, “Yes! I had to kill you to erase you from Ryan’s life forever! Only then could he fully be mine.”

“You’re sick,” Lora remarked, shaking her head. “I feel sorry for you.”
