    “Stop! Please, Mr. Howard, I admit I was wrong-I swear I won’t do it again. It wasn’t on purpose; I just


    got confused, and my mind was clouded. How could I ever dare to cross you? I won’t ever think of it


    again!”


    Unlike Ivy, Balfour was a man of his word, a take-no-prisoners kind of guy. Without a second thought,


    he dialed 911.


    Hearing ra’s pleas, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “The trouble you’re in is nothing but karma for your


    actions. Maybe next time, before you decide to stir up mischief, you’ll think twice about whether you


    can handle the fallout!”


    ra knew begging this man was futile, so she quickly switched tactics. “If you call the cops, I’ll just go


    online and continue to smear Ivy. You know, living under the same roof for years adds weight to my


    words. If you don’t want to see your darlingdy dragged through the mud, then you’d stop what you’re


    doing!”


    Balfour paused, sizing up the woman in front of him. She had more nerve than he’d given her credit for.


    But she seemed to have forgotten something-if he really wanted to, making sure she never worked in


    this town again would be a piece of cake. In his world, no one could intimidate him.


    “Okay, I’m begging you, it’s my bad this time. Just don’t call the cops, and I promise I won’t spread any


    more rumors online,” ra said, her voice twisted with the strain of her offer. She knew that crossing


    this man could spell the end of her career.


    Not wanting the Dunhill family drama to affect Ivy any longer, Balfour decided not to escte the


    situation. For now, he would leave it be.


    Later, Balfour made a request to Margot to keep this dirtyundry away from Ivy.


    Alyssa noticed something-a new level of affection seemed to have blossomed between her grandson


    and his wife.


    Balfour and Ivy had bothe home to check on the old folks, which was a delight in itself. But when


    Alyssa saw Balfour gantly opening the car door for Ivy and the two of them walking hand in hand, her


    heart swelled with joy.


    They couldn’t quite put their finger on it, but the couple’s gestures seemed more natural, more


    practiced than before. They looked every bit the picture of love, even their casual nces filled with


    sweet, sparkling bubbles.


    Alyssa had always adored Ivy as her granddaughter-inw, and seeing their rtionship thrive made


    her even happier.


    “Grandma, Grandpa, we’re here to see you. Sorry it’s been a while, the film set’s been hectic with the


    final scenes, and I haven’t been able to visit as much, Ivy apologized. Ever since she and Balfour had


    moved out, the big vi felt lonelier with just the two elders.


    That was why Alyssa and Dean always looked forward to Ivy and Balfour’s visits. But with the recent


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    busy schedule, it was usuallyte in the evening by the time Balfour could bring Ivy home after her


    shoots, making it difficult for her to visit.


    Smiling, Alyssa took Ivy’s hand, unconcerned that her grandson stood behind them. “We understand


    you young folks are busy with work. Just knowing you care is enough for us. When the movie wraps


    up, move back in. Spend some time with us aspensation,” she said, patting Ivy’s hand.


    Ivy nodded vigorously. “Absolutely! Balfour and I have already talked about it. As soon as the film is


    done, I’m moving back. You’ll see me every day then, and you’d better not get tired of me!”
