    Chapter 1903


    Last night, she lost something irreceable during what was supposed to be her enchanting ‘Midnight


    Masquerade’, with a man she’d never met before. How did ite to this!


    Her sister had promised toe back for herst night.


    Balfour had thought she was just putting on an act. Wanting to avoid any further entanglement, he


    casually tossed a credit card onto the bed, “There’s enough money here to keep youfortable. Take


    it and make sure I never see you again!”


    Ivy was stunned, feeling deeply humiliated. She snatched up the credit card and threw it back at him,


    “As if I want your filthy money!”


    She quickly got dressed in the bathroom, came out, took two hundred-dor bills from her wallet, and


    flung them at the man, “We’re square. Last night was just bad luck on my part. Don’t you daree


    after me!”


    Ivy threw his own words back at him and bolted before he could react.


    Catching a cab home, Ivy found her sister ra just about to leave.


    ra was unusually agitated upon seeing Ivy, rushing over and delivering a stinging p across her


    face, “Ivy, where the hell were youst night?” Just five minutes earlier, ra, thinking her n had


    seeded, had called Vincent, expecting him to honor his promise and hand over the coveted role.


    But Vincent had erupted with fury, “ra, you’ve got some nerve asking for a role! Were you ying


    me? You said your sister was a knockout, irresistible! I spent a whole night at the hotel, itching with


    anticipation, but no woman showed! You dare to y me? Forget about getting any roles from me ever


    again!”


    Vincent didn’t give her a chance to exin, hanging up right after his piece.


    ra had been chewed out and lost a role she’d been dreaming of, her rage having no ce to go until


    Ivy appeared.


    Her sister’s p left Ivy dazed, sensing something was terribly wrong, “Why did you hit me, sis? Didn’t


    you tell me to go to the room you booked and that you’d join meter? But I didn’t see you at all this


    morning!”


    “Ivy, stop lying! You never went to the room I bookedst night!”


    ra red at her, eyes zing with anger, “Vincent waited for you all night, and you stood him up!


    Tell me, where exactly did you go?”


    “Vincent?” Ivytched onto the key point, “Who’s Vincent? Sis, what exactly were you nning for me


    to dost night?”


    Now that she’d let it slip, ra saw no point in hiding, “Vincent is the financier of the show ‘Dreamlike’.


    My n was for you to spend a night with Vincent and in return, I’d get the lead role. But thanks to you,


    it’s all ruined.”


    Ivy finally understood the events ofst night. ra hadn’t been heartbroken and looking for a drinking


    buddy. It had all been a ruse!


    “So, you sold me outst night, is that it?” Ivy felt a piercing pain in her heart, her eyes beginning to


    sting, “Sis, I always saw you as my sister, how could you do this to me!”

    ra was momentarily taken aback by her outburst but quickly retorted, “So what if I did? You’ve


    always been the spare in our family. Being of use to help me is an honor for you!”


    Tears streamed down Ivy’s cheeks. Even though they were half-sisters and ra often bullied her, Ivy


    had always regarded her as her real sister. But to her sister, Ivy was nothing more than amodity to


    be traded at will.


    Amid their quarrel, a ck luxury sedan pulled up. A man in a sleek ck suit got out.


    He approached them, nced at a photograph in his hand, then fixed his gaze on Ivy, “You’re Ivy,


    right? Mr. Howard sent me to pick you up.”


    “Mr. Howard?” Ivy racked her brain but couldn’t recall knowing anyone by that name.
