    Chapter 1904


    “Sorry, I don’t think I know the person you’re talking about. Are you sure you’ve got the right person?”


    Quinton didn’t show any signs of panic. He pulled out a crisp two hundred-dor bills and handed it to


    Ivy. “He said that you would remember if you saw


    this.”


    “This is…” Ivy’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the slightly crumpled bill, and suddenly, the events of


    that morning shed through her mind.


    So, this Mr. Howard was the guy fromst night? The man who seemed to have a lot of clout?


    And now he was sending someone to find her. It couldn’t be to settle scores, could it?


    Ivy felt a twinge of fear and nced over to see ra’s puzzled face.


    If she got into with this suit guy now, there was no wayst night’s escapade would stay a secret.


    ra hadn’t gained anything the previous day and was sure to seize this opportunity to make a scene!


    Rather than going home and having ra spill the beans to their parents, Ivy decided it was better to


    see what this Balfour wanted.


    “Alright, I’ll go with you.”


    Under ra’s baffled gaze, Ivy followed Quinton to his car and the car quickly drove off.


    ra watched the luxury car disappear, envy bubbling inside her, yet she was utterly confused. How


    does Ivy know someone with a fancy car like that? “ra, was that Ivy who just came by? I swear I


    heard her voice!” Tessa emerged from the house, only to find ra standing alone at the door. ra


    snapped back to reality, nodded, and said with a hint of sarcasm, “Yeah, she was here but got whisked


    away by a man.”


    “Whisked away by a man?” Tessa’s face clouded with concern. “Which man? She didn’te home


    last nigh, and now she’s gone again just after getting back?”


    ra scoffed and stepped inside. “What else could it be? A girl noting home after a night out is


    obviously up to no good with some guy! I saw her get into a luxury car with a married man. Probably off


    to be some rich guy’s mistress! Tessa, you really should keep a better eye on my sister. Let her not get


    into such disgraceful situations!”


    “A mistress? Ivy would never…” Tessa looked at her, with disbelief etched on her face, finding it hard to


    believe her daughter would do such a thing. “Impossible, Ivy’s never even had a boyfriend, how could


    she…”


    Just then, Finn Dunhill descended the stairs, catching the tail end of Tessa’s words. “What’s going on?


    What about Ivy?”

    “Dad, Ivy’s be some rich man’s mistress. She probably won’t being home anymore.” ra


    lied with ease, secretly thrilled at the thought of Ivying back to a scolding.


    Finn was usually busy with work and didn’t involve himself much with home affairs, but he valued family


    reputation above all and despised such scandalous behavior.


    “What? She’s be a mistress for whom? A daughter of our family can’t be involved in such


    indecency!” Finn’s stern gaze fell on Tessa.


    Tessa, knowing her husband was angry and feeling her ownck of standing in the household, quickly


    adopted an indignant tone. “Oh! It’s my fault for not disciplining her. When she gets back, we need to


    teach her a lesson!”


    Ivy was oblivious to ra’s machinations back home. She rode in Quinton’s car to a posh suburban


    neighborhood, pulling up in front of a grand vi. “Ivy, get out. Mr. Howard is waiting for you inside.”


    It wasn’t until she was standing at the vi’s entrance that Ivy truly began to feel nervous. She had no


    idea what or who awaited her inside.


    Taking a deep breath, Ivy stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
