Ivy stared at Salena and immediately shoved her hand away, her gaze full of arrogance. She was furious and growled, "And who do you think you are to say something like that to me?
"You're nothing but a homewrecker who slept her way to the top, and you have the nerve to act all high and mighty here?"
The moment the words left Salena's mouth, Ivy slapped her hard across the face. She gasped in disbelief and said, "You actually hit me?"
Ivy lifted her chin proudly. "So what if I did? You think just because I kept quiet all these years, I'd let you keep stepping on me like I'm nothing?
"Don't forget, your entire net worth and your family's future are in my hands. You want that money back, don't you?"
Salena shouted, "You bitch! If you don't give me back that money, I swear I'll destroy you. I'll sue you and get the cops involved!"
Ivy sneered. "You think calling the cops will help you? You think I didn't plan for every possible outcome when I started this?"
Hearing that, Salena became flustered. "So everything Mia said was true. Your investment scheme is just a scam, isn't it?"
"Take a guess. It's only because you were all so greedy that you fell for it." Ivy felt immensely satisfied seeing Salena's panicked expression.
Salena gritted her teeth. "You really are a fraud. I'm definitely going to report you to the police."
Ivy retorted, "Do you have any proof? Our company is currently operating normally, and we've been paying you interest every month.
"What evidence do you have that we're scammers? Even if you tell people, no one will believe you. They'll just think you're being unreasonable."
She looked down at Salena triumphantly as she added, "You think you can still fight me? I held back before, not because I feared you but because I had more pressing things to attend to.
"But now that everything is done, you? You're not even worth my time."
