    Chapter 1934


    No sooner had Ivy stepped out of the hotel than her phone buzzed in her pocket, and ra’s voice,


    filled with fury, crackled through the line as she answered the call.


    “Ivy, what on earth did you dost night? Why is Vincent giving me the cold shoulder now? He won’t


    even answer my calls!” ra’s usation was sharp, as if Ivy hadmitted some unforgivable sin


    against her.


    Ivy, recalling the previous evening’s debacle, felt a chill settle in her gaze. “Do you really want to


    know?”


    “Of course, I do! Why else would I be calling you?” ra snapped back, her tone aggressive and


    demanding.


    Balling her hand into a tight fist, Ivy replied with a steely resolve, “Fine. If you’re so desperate to know,


    I’ll tell you myself. I’m on my way home now!”


    Before ra could utter another word, Ivy ended the call.


    She hailed a cab and headed straight for the Dunhills’ residence.


    Twenty minutester, Ivy had barely set foot in the Dunhills’ abode when ra charged at her,


    delivering a stinging p across her face. “Ivy, what did you do? Why is Vincent ignoring me? Are you


    only happy when you ruin my career in showbiz?”


    Rubbing her reddened cheek, Ivy retorted with a p of her own, “What right do you have to hit me,


    ra? I owe you


    nothing!”


    “You… how dare you hit me?” ra’s face registered shock, disbelief etched across her features.


    For years, it had always been ra who tormented her, never once had Ivy fought back.

    “I am no longer the pushover you can bully! Get out of my way!” Ivy shoved ra aside with distaste


    and stormed into the living room.


    In the living room, Tessa sat next to Finn. She rose abruptly as Ivy entered. “Ivy, I told you to apologize


    to Vincent, but look at what you did. How could you make him ignore your sister’s calls?”


    “Apologize? Mom, is that really all you expected of me? How dare you ask me that?” Ivy sneered as


    she slumped onto the couch, her eyes icy and detached. “You lured me into Vincent’s private room.


    What did you expect me to do? Strip down willingly?”


    ra burst into the room, clutching her face, her eyes brimming with tears as she red at Ivy. “Dad,


    not only did Ivy make Vincent cut me off, but she also hit me the moment she walked in the door.”


    “What!” Tessa rushed to ra’s side, who was touching her face with a look of distress.


    “Are you okay, my dear? Is your face alright?”


    ra put on her most pitiful expression. “My face is going to swell up. If I’m disfigured, how am I


    supposed to keep working in the industry? Tessa, your daughter Ivy is bent on destroying my career!”


    “Darling, calm down… Go get an ice pack for your face. I’ll deal with Ivy,” Tessa reassured, gently


    guiding her toward the kitchen for an ice pack.


    ra shot Ivy a harsh re before storming off to the kitchen.
