“Look, Balfour, don’t forget who you’re married to. When you’re fussing over some other gal, do you
ever stop to think how Ivy feels? Don’t say I didn’t warn you-if Ivy gives up on
for good, you’ll be down on your knees begging, and it won’t do you a lick of good!”

“Grandma, let’s not talk about this over the phone, okay? I’ve thought about everything you mentioned.”
Balfour sounded irked.
If Dean and Alyssa didn’t take to Mara staying at the house, well, he could set her up in a different
place for the time being.
After all, Mara’s family had fallen apart because Victoria had saved him; he couldn’t just abandon a
wounded soul like her to fend for herself.
“You’re too big for your britches now, keeping things from me. Did your granddad and I spoil you for

Balfour nodded in agreement. “I’ll sort Mara out in the morning, then I’ll pick up Ivy and head over.”
Even if Balfour didn’t believe Ivy was responsible for pushing Mara, there was no way she could wash
her hands off the incident.
Looking at Mara’s frail figure on the hospital bed, Balfour sighed. Here’s to hoping no more trouble
comes our way!
In the dead of night, Ivy awoke with a start, shaken by a nightmare. Balfour’s icy glare struck her again,
and in her dream, she came to.
Panting, Ivy sat up, drenched in sweat, her chest heaving. Dream-Balfour’s chilling voice echoed, “I
always knew you didn’t care for Mara, but I never thought you’d be so cruel. I was wrong about you.”
Whenever Ivy tried to defend herself, her mouth would seal shut, and she’d watch helplessly as Balfour
repeated the accusation over and over, yet she was powerless.
Awakening from the agony of the dream, she consoled herself with the thought: dreams are the
opposite of reality.
Tomorrow she’d explain everything to Balfour, and she believed he would understand.
He had to believe her.
Ivy silently bolstered herself with these thoughts, though even she wasn’t entirely convinced Balfour
would side with her.

In this situation, she had no other choice. There was no other evidence to prove her innocence, except
for Balfour’s belief.
What Ivy didn’t anticipate was the extent of the incident’s impact, nor did she realize there had been
another person in the restroom at the time.
That person had heard their argument and had come out just in time to witness Mara’s fall, capturing

[Lord, can’t this actress live without drama? Just cleared up one mess, and here’s another. Let’s see
her fans defend this one-dare they deny blatant bullying now?]
The netizen only snapped a photo of Mara sprawled on the floor with Ivy, on crutches, standing by,
making no move to help.
Some comments criticized the netizen for chasing clout.
[Excuse me, but Ivy’s on crutches herself. How’s she supposed to bend down and help someone off
the floor? Haven’t we learned our lesson from last time? Are we gonna sling mud at the actress and
wait for her to clear things up again?]
Ivy’s fans, though, were calm because many had met her in person.
They knew how gentle Ivy was. Even though the photo made it look like she was indifferent, the panic
in her eyes was clear for all to see.
