Chapter 2100


    Chapter 2100


    Finally, her boyfriend, red with embarrassment, came over and dragged her away.


    Ivy was still in awe. Could someone actually be her fan?


    Were they enchanted by the character she yed on screen or by Ivy herself, the actress?


    The couple continued their animated discussion about Ivy long after they had left:


    “She smells amazing, and it’s like it’s her natural scent. Oh man, I love Ivy!”


    Her boyfriend had grown ustomed to his girlfriend’s celebrity obsession and even engaged seriously


    in the conversation about their first impression of her.


    “She’s definitely gorgeous.”


    “Right? I told you!”


    Ivy, just by standing there, exuded a natural ease, soft and unassuming, like an elegant lotus standing


    tall or a pearl that should be cherished in the palm of one’s hand.


    Compliments always have a way of lifting one’s spirits!


    Leaving the bookstore with a spring in her step, Ivy felt at ease, even as she walked through the alley


    she normally dreaded.


    But nobody could have predicted the mishap that was about to happen.


    Before she could react, a pair of hands from behind mped over her mouth and nose with a cloth that


    reeked of chemicals. Within three seconds, her consciousness slipped away.


    The shadowy figure swiftly dragged Ivy to a waiting van parked curbside and sped off into the night.


    On the groundy the book Ivy had just bought.


    “Boss, how much are we getting for catching this chick? After all, she’s a celeb. I saw her in the news


    just a while back.” One of the thugs casually lifted Ivy’s arm, remarking with ill intent, “Wow, what’s with


    her skin? It’s like baby skin!”


    The man they called Boss pped his hand away.


    “Hands off! She’s not for you to touch!”


    “Heh, I’m just curious, man. What makes this big star so different from us ordinary folk?


    Damn!


    Her skin’s really different. Look at how pale and delicate her hands and feet are. It’s like she’s never


    had to walk a day in her life!”


    The other thugs, too curious to keep away, crowded around for a look.


    “Do these actress types ever do any real work? She’s got that glow!”


    Having dropped out of high school to run wild on the streets, these punks were now following their


    Boss-known in the underground as Raven-doing dirty work like this for their livelihood.


    Sometimes, the targets were challenging, raising the stakes and the danger, but the payoff was much


    sweeter.


    “These people just show their faces on camera and don’t lift a finger otherwise. They earn in a day


    what we couldn’t make in eight lifetimes. It’s just not fair, pfft.”


    Raven fiddled with his phone, shooting a message to ra, [The girl’s in the van. What’s your next


    move?]


    Upon reading the message, ra could not help but let out a wide grin.


    This was it; she felt a wave of relief wash over her.


    Of all people, Ivy deserved to be stomped down into the gutter.


    A star in the limelight? Please.


    “She’s all yours now. Do as you please. Consider it a gift for your boys. Let them have their fun!”


    Raven did not respond.


    ra was ruthless, alright. What kind of beef did she have with Ivy to want to ruin her like this?


    But for Raven and his crew, it was all business. Morals did not stand a chance against cold, hard cash.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
