    “Thank goodness,” Ivy thought to herself, relieved.


    It stood to reason that if this whole area belonged to the Harris Group, they’d be under surveince.


    And surveince meant there was a chance to retrieve yesterday’s footage.


    Upon reaching the CEO’s office, Ivy and Quinton entered together.


    Nn knew Quinton’s identity, nodded in greeting. He knew his presence with Ivy was certainly on


    Balfour’s orders.


    “Nn, I need a favor. Can we pull up yesterday’s outdoor surveince footage?” Ivy cut straight to the


    chase, her voice tinged with urgency.


    Nn was one step ahead, pivoting hisptop towards her. “I’ve already got the footage queued up,


    ready to clear the air whenever you need it.” The screen disyed yesterday’s recordings. Fortunately,


    they had installed cameras at various angles at the shoot location to avoid any potential mishaps.


    The multiple camera angles had captured everything Nn and Ivy did yesterday, clearly showing


    there was a respectable social distance between them. Nn had merely reached out to remove


    something from her hair. Beyond that, there was no contact.


    “Thanks, Nn. This footage will prove my innocence,” Ivy said, her eyes brimming with gratitude.


    “Could you make me a copy?”


    “Of course,” Nn replied as he transferred the video onto a USB drive and handed it to her. “I’m sorry


    to have caused you trouble. I owe you an apology”


    “Not at all. Nn, I need to get going and clear the rumour, Ivy said, taking the USB and hurrying out.


    Back in the car, Ivy handed the USB to Quinton. “Take this to Balfour for me and then send a copy to


    my email.”


    Quinton, holding the USB, hesitated for a moment before taking it. “Yes, ma’am.”


    Upon returning to the Howard Mansion, Ivy had already received the video from Quinton. She quickly


    showed it to Alyssa and Dean.


    After viewing the clips, the elders saw the whole story.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Alyssa was furious. “Ivy, it’s clear someone orchestrated this. Does Balfour know?”


    Ivy nodded. “I’ve had Quinton take the footage to him. He’s seen it already.”


    “Good,” Alyssa said, taking Ivy’s hand with a sympathetic look. “It seems it’s time to reveal your identity


    as Mrs. Howard. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re unprotected, an easy target for bullying.”


    Ivy was surprised and a bit flustered. “Alyssa, let’s… let’s discuss this with Balfour first.”


    Alyssa agreed. “Alright. We’ll wait for him toe back.”


    That day, the Harris Group’s official ount released several surveince clips, proving nothing


    untoward had urred between Nn and Ivy.


    Nn also posted a message on his personal social media: “A brief exchange with an old schoolmate


    led to an awkward mix-up. Please don’t jump to unsubstantiated conclusions.”


    With these two rifications, the public quickly grasped the true nature of the incident.


    Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and called Balfour. “Balfour, Nn has posted a rification. Have you


    seen it?”


    “I have,” Balfour replied, his gaze still fixed on the surveince footage.


    In the video, Nn was bending towards her, reaching out to remove something from her hair.


    Even though it wasn’t an intimate gesture, the proximity between them still irked Balfour, leaving him


    with an uneasy feeling.
