    Chapter 2432


    Tessa had always believed that dirtyundry should be washed inside the house, not aired out in


    public. Even though Ivy had stirred up her fair share of trouble over the years, taking it to the inte

    seemed a bit like airing the family’s dirtyundry for all to see.


    Tessa had paid little mind to the gossip until ra brought it up during herst visit h These past few


    days, Tessa hadn’t found the time to carry out the task ra had entrusted to her in Ivy’s ce.


    Now, Tessa was pacing her living room, restless with anxiety.


    “I’m back!” ra announced as she barged through the door, kicking off her sneakers haphazardly.


    She crashed onto the couch, and Tessa immediately approached. She stood beside her with a look of


    urgency on her face.


    “ra, there’s something I need to ask you about.”


    ra internally rolled her eyes but kept her face neutral. She shifted on the couch to face Tessa


    without bothering to sit up. “Just spill it, Tessa.” she asked.


    “It’s about that thing, you know, the one you asked me to do. I’ve been swamped and haven’t gotten


    around to it yet. But I saw what you posted online. Why’d you have to stir the pot like that? Ivy’s not the


    same person she used to be, and messing this up isn’t going to end well!


    Didn’t we agree to keep family matters private? By airing our dirtyundry, how do you think people will


    look at me and your father?”


    ra sat up straighter, annoyance written all over her face, “Hold on! What do you mean by airing our


    dirtyundry? I only told the truth, didn’t I? Besides, it’s your own daughter’s actions that got the


    inte riled up. I just mentioned a couple of the stunts she’d done all these years. Isn’t that a good


    thing? Tessa, don’t you want tond more gigs? Because of what I said, I’m back on the radar, and


    advertisers are knocking at my door again. Ivy’s antics dragged me down before, but now, a little


    honesty has boosted my visibility. Aren’t you happy for me? Why are you making me the bad guy?”


    ra’s gaze held a hint of suspicion, and Tessa, feeling her good intentions were being questioned,


    quickly waved her hands in defense.


    “I didn’t mean it like that. I just think airing our family issues isn’t the best move. I know Ivy has done


    wrong in the past, but that’s something for the family to know, not the whole world. Your dad doesn’t


    even know about the posts yet. Imagine his reaction when he stumbles upon the news online.”


    ra scoffed, “So, you’re putting all the me on me now? If Ivy hadn’t messed up and dragged me


    down with her, I’d air out nothing. Dad won’t me me even though he finds out. He’ll just feel sorry for


    me. We’re both his daughters so why should I be overshadowed by her? Just because my biological


    mom isn’t around?”


    Tessa’s head shot up as she heard the remark, “How can you say such things, ra? All these years,


    I’ve treated you like my own child, sometimes even at Ivy’s expense. It breaks my heart to hear you say


    that.”


    Tears flowed as Tessa, who was upset and perplexed, slumped onto the couch.


    She had been with Finn for many years and, though she might have failed her own daughter, she had


    never wronged his daughter from a previous marriage.


    From the very first day she joined the family, Tessa had gone out of her way to be kind to ra, hoping


    to earn a genuine ‘mom’ from her. But that day had nevere.


    And now, after all her sacrifices, ra hadshed out with such hurtful words. How could Tessa not be


    heartbroken?
