Chapter 2338
Ivy was acutely aware that the most crucial thing at the moment was to wrap up Colton’s film. When it
hits the screens, it would be the ultimate gift to her fans.
People were drawn to her for a hodgepodge of reasons. Some were enchanted by her looks, others by
her acting skills, while a few had met her in person and found her
incredibly down-to-earth.
Regardless of the why, Ivy knew her best way of giving back was through delivering stellar
performances.
Meanwhile, Mara was stewing. As the night ticked by, the online chatter about Ivy swung wildly from
loathe to love, making her grit her teeth in frustration.
Before the film crew had stepped in with their clarification, the internet trolls had had a field day, and
Mara had been one of the loudest voices. Her particularly venomous rants had even garnered her a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsmall following.
Now that Ivy’s fans had the crew’s statement to rally behind, they were haunting Mara’s comments
section, suggesting her online vitriol must be the result of a dissatisfying personal life.
Seething, Mara couldn’t fathom how Ivy managed to turn the tables so quickly.
She refused to swallow her pride and ended up in a war of words with the fans in the
comments.
[You flip-floppers are all over the crew now that you’ve seen some so-called ‘evidence’. Does your
family know you’re out here playing lapdog online?]
[Well, that’s rich coming from someone who’s such a backstabber. Pretending you’re in the know, as if
you’re part of the industry. You talk of insider info like it’s a joke, but Diana’s in custody now. If you don’t
believe it, why don’t you go down to the station and snoop around?]
The documents provided by the police were the most convincing piece of evidence shared by the film
crew. No one dared to joke about such serious matters.
The crew had won a stunning victory, and the thought of Ivy receiving an outpouring of praise once this
blew over soured Mara’s mood even further. She checked Ivy’s profile and, sure enough, the number of
followers was soaring.
[Honestly, even during the rough patch, I couldn’t bring myself to bash Ivy. I mean, how could I with that
face? Sorry, I’m a sucker for good looks. Beauty is justice, and thankfully, Ivy didn’t let me down.]
That comment was the last straw for Mara. She clicked on the commenter’s profile and fired off a series
of scathing private messages.

Chapter 2338
[Beauty is justice? More like you’re a sycophant. Did your parents not teach you how to tell right from
wrong? Judging by looks? I’d be mortified if I were your parents, seeing you talk like this online.]
Mára went on a tirade, venting her spleen on any comment that rubbed her the wrong way. It was only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmafter a string of insults that her inner turmoil began to subside.
At that moment, Balfour returned home from the office. Handing the car keys to the butler, he was
surprised to find Mara on the couch, engrossed in her phone.
Since Ivy left, Mara had been unusually quiet, not complaining or insisting on leaving. Her behavior
seemed to insinuate that Ivy was the one badmouthing her, but Balfour had his own gauge for Ivy’s
character.
Upon seeing Balfour, Mara instantly put her phone away and scampered over, all smiles.
“Balfour, you’re back! Have you had dinner? I asked the housekeeper to save some of the steamed
seafood custard for you. It’s really delicate!”
Balfour waved dismissively, lacking any appetite.
“I’m not hungry. You can keep it for a late-night snack. I’m heading upstairs.”
Without a second glance, Balfour went up the stairs.
Mara stamped her foot in irritation but was ultimately powerless to do anything about it./
