Who is your sponsor? Only an Immigration Judge can take someone's green card status away if there was no error when the status was conveyed, and the person did not abandon the status.

you cannot just cancel your green card once approved by the USCIS. She may report to the USCIS if she can show with strong evidence that your marriage is for immigration only.

She cannot cancel the I-864 she filed for you even if you two divorce. The only two ways her obligation ends is if (1) you work in this country for 40 quarters (or 10 years), or (2) if you become a US citizen. Until or unless one of those two conditions are met, she has the obligation to provide that poverty-level support to you regardless of your marital relationship. Thus, do not be alarmed if she threatens to cancel.

How would your sponsor cancel anything? There is not a way to do that. The worst that could happen to you is that you are accused of fraud in connection with your permanent residency. Unless your sponsor has proof of fraud, they cannot back out of their agreement with the United States government.
