Chapter 44

"How can Ivy still be alive?"

Mr. Milano threw the coat he had just taken off roughly.

"I'm wondering the same thing," said Madame Maria.

Mr. Milano then looked at Madame Maria with a furious look.

"We have misplaced our trust in Mr. Marionet and Madame Liana, how will you settle this? They have taken so much from us, while what we expected was not done."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about this either. I thought Miranda would do her job without anyone knowing."

Mr. Milano chuckled and then walked away.

"Take care of this! I don't want my only son to hate me for this."

Mr. Milano was furious and walked away from Madame Maria, who was now considering eliminating Ivy. He also didn't want Race to hate him just because of Ivy.

"Why did I have to marry Race off to Ivy? I could have married him off to another Marionet," Mrs. Maria grumbled.
