    Chapter 2478


    Balfour shed Ivy a smile, pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek. “Not yet, but you will be.”


    He had every faith in Ivy’s professional talents. Balfour was certain that, one day, she would im the


    top spot in her field-it was just a matter of time.


    It was a pity that, despite the underhanded tactics of some, nothing could derail Ivy’s path to fame.

    “Scared?” Balfour asked.


    There was only the driver with them in the car, and it was impossible to avoid the paparazzi’s lenses


    Ivy looked at him, and they shared a knowing smile.


    From the day she had be involved with Balfour, Ivy had anticipated the moment they would go


    public. She wasn’t worried about it.


    She was an actress destined to rise above those who gained fame solely through their. image. Her


    work was her backbone; she relied on nothing but her own talent.


    “But you’re the CEO of The Howard Group. Are you sure being with an actress like me won’t affect


    your stock prices?”


    Balfour sealed his response with a kiss. “You’ll only make them soar.”


    Just as the paparazzi had resigned themselves to the belief that Balfour and Ivy wouldn’t step out of


    the car, the vehicle’s door swung open.


    The driver descended from his seat and proceeded to open the door for Balfour.


    All the photographers, as if on cue, hoisted their cameras, each lens as imposing as a cannon, all vying


    for the first shot of Balfour and Ivy together.


    Previously, ra had tipped off several media outlets, iming that the hot new actress was


    romantically involved with the CEO of The Howard Group.


    At first, everyone was skeptical-how could someone from the entertainment world possibly be epted


    into the prestigious Howard family?


    But then ra released a photo that suggested their union, and the journalists were buzzing. If the tip


    was urate, capturing a photo of the pair would be a journalistic goldmine.


    The story would be explosive, the kind that could keep them in the headlines for a year.


    Thus, armed with their most advanced equipment, the media camped out at the remote hospital


    perched on the barren mountain, waiting for a scoop.


    After two days of stakeout, with only the asional vehicle passing by, the ce seemed all but


    forgotten.


    No family would typically admit a loved one to such an isted facility. It was baffling why ra, even a


    minor celebrity, would choose this ce for her mother.


    Many reporters secretly looked down on ra, while some believed she was ying a prank, having


    them waste two days on a wild goose chase.


    With other news stories beckoning, they couldn’t afford to squander any more time there.


    “Holy smokes, is that really Balfour Howard? This is my first time seeing the CEO of The Howard


    Group in the flesh. I’ve only ever seen him in the papers or on TV, never this close.”


    The journalists held their breath, not daring to make a sound lest they disturb the unfolding scene.


    Though they weren’t too far away, the fact that the couple emerged unfazed by the cameras confirmed


    they were not concerned about exposure.


    After Balfour stepped out, he circled around to Ivy’s side to open the door for her.
