After Swapping Marriage with My Sister, I Married the CEO
Chapter 8
Six months later, Ivy was prosecuted for attempted murder in court.
Accompanied by Leonard and Grace, I attended the trial as an observer.
My grandmother had just recovered from her illness.
Instead, I informed her that Ivy had gone abroad to study,
much like the story I concocted in my previous life after receiving the money.
From the look in my grandmother's eyes, though, it seemed she had sensed something.
She knew Ivy well.
"Ivy is too impulsive to settle down for further studies," she remarked.
Receiving a windfall, she would either squander it or make risky, short-term investments akin to gambling.
But my grandmother didn't press further, so neither did I.
In the initial trial, Ivy received a fifteen-year prison sentence. She vehemently protested, screaming in court.
"Why? Elaine, why did you do this? Why do I always lose to you? Why do my choices always lead to the worst outcomes?"
I gestured to Leonard and Grace not to worry amidst the bailiffs present.
Would Ivy dare to charge at me again, like in her past life?
As expected, overcome by rage, she attempted to rush towards me,
only to be swiftly subdued by a bailiff wielding a stun gun.
It was a stark contrast to the modest measures I had prepared for Leonard.
I said to Ivy with calm sympathy in my eyes.
"No matter what choices you make, they will never yield good results. It's because your heart is so tainted and malicious. You've never truly understood why Grandma insisted on keeping us together despite the hardships. She always believed that we, as twin sisters, were God's greatest gifts to each other. As long as we love each other, we possess the greatest wealth."
"But you've always treated me as your rival, as if my existence naturally obstructs your pursuit of happiness. Only by eliminating me, only by making my life miserable, do you find peace."
"This is all you're doing!"
