Chapter 2405


    If Alyssa wanted to ensure that Ivy''s name was taboo, it would have been the simplest option.


    However, for Ivy, a starlet in the limelight, it wasn''t necessarily the best move. Being an actress, her


    future hinged on those very fans who flocked to the box office to catch hertest flick. Such a


    decision could potentially tarnish her reputation with the general public.


    Besides, anyone with half a brain knew you couldn''t afford to alienate the onlinemunity. They


    held grudges like nobody''s business.


    “I''m an olddy out of touch with these trendy matters. Do you have any suggestions?” Alyssa


    inquired


    “To be frank, if you simply wish to keep Ivy Dunhill out of the public''s mouth, it should be a piece of


    cake for you without us lifting a finger, I reckon you''ve sought us out because you''re hoping we can


    clear Ivy''s name,” Leo said confidently.


    Alyssa’s face broke into a satisfied grin, nodding in agreement. “Of course, I want you to clear Ivy''s


    te, but I''m aware it''s a tricky situation. The only eyewitness is currently slinging mud at my


    granddaughter-inw. Do you really think someone like that would overturn their previous


    statement to vouch for Ivy? Even if she recanted her story, iming it was all lies, the online crowd


    might still suspect we bought her off. It could backfire spectacrly!”


    Alyssa’s concerns were valid; after all, many harbored a disdain for the affluent.


    She could understand why some had extreme viewpoints, but she''d be damned if she let them harm


    Ivy.


    Leo shed a grin, exuding confidence. “Rest assured, this is our expertise. It''s a bit of a pickle, sure,


    but not impossible. Once we draft a n and it passes muster with you, we''ll execute it. Our priority


    will be to safeguard Ms. Dunhill''s reputation and give the something to chew on.”Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

    Alyssa was pleased, “That''s the spirit. There''s a hefty bonus in it for you once we seed; you won''t


    be toiling for nothing.”


    When Alyssa spoke of a hefty bonus, she meant business, and the team left in high spirits.


    Quinton entered to tidy up the office.


    “Quinton, where''s Balfour? He''s not in the office, is he?” Alyssa asked, reclining in the executive


    chair, her gaze coolly fixed on Quinton.


    Quinton bowed his head, unsure if he should answer.

    "What''s wrong? Can''t a grandmother inquire about her grandson''s whereabouts?”


    “I didn’t mean any disrespect, ma''am...”


    Despite the Alyssa''s stern tone, Quinton, remembering Balfour''s prior warning, remained tight-


    lipped. “Let''s wait for him to report back himself,” he said.


    Though Quinton hadn''t spilled a bean, Alyssa didn''t take offense. In fact, she seemed to respect his


    loyalty.


    She needed reliable people like him around Balfour.


    “Fine, I''ll ask him when he’s back. But do inform your CEO that his granny is at headquarters and


    wants him to make haste.”


    Deep down, Alyssa had her suspicions.


    Thed was probably with Mara again, and she dreaded the thought of her grandson falling for that


    maniptive woman''s wiles.


    She had to issue another reminder, lest Mara, in her scheming ways, decided to spice up his meal


    with something more sinister for her own ends.
