“Alright, nice!” Alyssa chuckled heartily, suddenly feeling a surge of appetite wash over her.
After scarfing down her breakfast, Ivy nced at the clock, realizing it was nearly time to head out.
“Grandma, Grandpa, I’m going to meet up with my sister today; she’s got a friend she wants me to
meet, so I’ll be stepping out for a bit.” Alyssa’s maternal instincts kicked in, “Do you need Grandma to
arrange someone to go along with you, sweetheart?” Shaking her head with a smile, Ivy reassured her,
“No need, Grandma. I can handle it.”
Not insist on her suggestion, Alyssa made sure a car was arranged and, after a few words of advice, let
Ivy go on her way.

Settling into the car, Ivy felt a tangle of emotions. It had been a while since she hadst encountered
her family, and she couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to see them again.
Upon arriving at the designated spot, Ivy stepped out of the car but didn’t see anyone from her family in
front of the country club.
She dialed up her mom, “Mom, I’m here. Where are you at?”
“Oh, Ivy, we’re stuck in traffic. Might be a little while to get there! You go on in; we’re almost there,”
Tessa’s voice sounded flustered and rushed.
Looking at the entrance to the country club, Ivy hesitated, “Mom, I’ve never been to a ce like this
before. I’ll just wait for you. I don’t even know the owner; it wouldn’t be right for me to barge in alone,
not knowing what to say.”
“Ivy, honey, it’s already the time for our appointment now. It’d be terribly rude to stand them up. Please,
just go in first. We’ll be right there. You said you’d help Mom out onest time, right? Could you do me
a favor?”
Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Ivy consented, “Alright, Mom. This is thest time.”
After hanging up, Ivy faced the grand entrance of the country club with a hint of unease.
Something about this situation felt off to her, and it set her on edge.
But she mustered her courage to walk in. This was thest time, and after this, she’d cut all ties with
her family!
Stepping into the country club, Ivy located the private room number Tessa had sent her, knocked, and
walked in.
There sat a portly middle-aged man, Vincent, the man Tessa mentioned who had a beef with ra.
The same man ra had nearly tricked Ivy into sleeping with.
“Hello, I’m ra’s sister, Ivy,” she said cautiously as she stood at the doorway, greeting him with
politeness despite her wariness.
Vincent’s greasy smile widened as he stood and approached Ivy, eyeing her appreciatively. “So, you’re
ra’s little sister, huh? Gotta say, you’re even prettier than her!”
His gaze drifted from Ivy’s face down to her chest. “And what a figure, too!”
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Ivy, who had deliberately chosen a loose-fitting outfit for the day, wondered where on earth he got the
impression her figure was anything to write home about/
Feeling ufortable, she suggested,/Vincent, my family should be here shortly. I think I’d rather wait
outside for them, then we can alle in together.”
With that, Ivy turned to leave.
But Vincent wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip through his fingers. He quickly stepped up and
blocked the door, “Hey now, you’re already here, why leave? No worries, your family will be here any
minute. Take a seat and have a drink
with me.”
Ivy sidestepped to keep some distance between them, “Vincent, I don’t drink.”
“Come on, have a seat, just for a bit,” Vincent urged, settling back into his seat and gesturing for Ivy to
do the same.
Resigned to the fact that she wouldn’t be leaving easily, Ivy chose the seat furthest from Vincent and
sat down.
“Vincent, my parents told me ra had done something that upset you. Wee here today to
apologize. Whatever happened before, it wasn’t intentional. Please ept our apologies.”
