All Chapters of The Contracted Stripper : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The evening sky was painted in hues of deep orange and crimson, the last rays of sunlight filtering through the blinds of Ivy’s apartment. The room was quiet, save for the soft ticking of the clock on the wall. Ivy sat at her desk, surrounded by a pile of documents, her laptop screen displaying the encrypted files she had been working on for hours.Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, the events of the past few weeks playing on a continuous loop. The treachery she had uncovered, the lies and deceit that surrounded her—it was all coming to a head, and now Luca had just informed her of Bella's claims on the company. She knew that if she wanted to survive, if she wanted to protect what was rightfully hers, she had to unmask the enemy, and as it stood, there were too many enemies.The sound of the doorbell snapped her out of her thoughts. Ivy hesitated for a moment, her hand hovering over the mouse. She quickly saved the files before closing her laptop and walking toward the door. She

The crisp morning air clung to the walls of the Kendrick mansion, its chill matching the tension that had settled over the household. Ivy paced in the library, her fingers drumming anxiously against the ornate mahogany table.The events of the previous night had left her shaken, but there was no time to dwell on the revelations about Victor.There were other battles to fight, and a new storm was brewing on the horizon, one that threatened not just her family but the entire city.Luca entered the room, his expression grave as he approached her. “Ivy, you need to see this,” he said, holding out a tablet.Ivy took the tablet from him, her eyes scanning the headline that blared across the screen."Kendrick Enterprises Linked to Major Political Scandal: Corruption and Conspiracy Unveiled."Her heart sank as she read the details of the article. It alleged that Kendrick Enterprises had been involved in illegal dealings with several high-ranking government officials, including bribery, fraud

Mrs. Rose paced outside Mr. Kendrick’s hospital room, anxiety biting at her. She watched Ivy from a distance, her mind racing with everything that had been spiraling out of control since Ryan’s accident. Bella, of all people, was now claiming to be in charge of the Kendrick empire. She couldn’t believe it. The idea made her stomach churn with disgust.“Ivy,” Mrs. Rose called out softly, gesturing for her daughter to come over.Ivy glanced up from her tablet, hesitating for a moment, then followed her mother into the quiet hallway.“What is it, Mom?” Ivy asked, her tone cautious.Mrs. Rose took a deep breath. “I heard from the staff that Bella is in the company. She’s been acting like she owns the place. Is it true?”Ivy’s face tightened. “Yeah, Mom, it’s true. She’s in Dad’s office as we speak. She and some new faces are practically running things now.”Mrs. Rose’s heart sank. Betrayal burned through her chest. “I knew she was ambitious, but this… this is something else. How could

Ryan stared up at her, his expression dazed. “Iris…?”“Yes, it’s me,” Bella cooed, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “We’ve been through so much together, but now we can finally be happy.”Ryan’s brow furrowed as if trying to remember. “What… happened to me?”“You were in a car accident, darling,” Bella replied smoothly. “You were on your way to meet me. I was pregnant, and we were going to start a new life together.”“Pregnant…?” Ryan’s voice was weak, his memory faltering.“Yes, but don’t worry,” Bella said, her tone softening. “We have everything we ever wanted. I’ll take care of you.”As Bella continued to weave her web of lies, Ivy and Mrs. Rose reentered the room, their expressions tense.“Chapter 82Ryan blinked as he lay in the hospital bed, still groggy from the medication and the accident. His head throbbed, and the unfamiliar faces around him seemed like ghosts from another life. The only name that rang clear in his muddled mind was "Iris." It was the name he clung to, the onl

The door to Ivy's suite slammed shut behind her as Bella followed her inside, her eyes glinting with cold determination. Ivy’s heels clicked against the marble floor, her steps quicker than usual, her mind racing with frustration and disbelief at Bella’s audacity. She had barely made it halfway to the living room when Bella’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and mocking.“You’re not going to walk away from this conversation, Ivy,” Bella hissed, her arms crossed over her chest. “We need to talk.”Ivy turned on her heel, fury flashing in her eyes. “There’s nothing to talk about, Bella. I’m done playing your little game.” Her voice was steady, but there was an underlying anger that simmered just beneath the surface.Bella raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “Oh, I think there’s plenty to talk about. You’ll want to hear every word I have to say.”Ivy scoffed, folding her arms tightly across her chest. “You’re delusional if you think I’m going to keep up wit
