    Chapter 2484


    Balfour furrowed his brow as he shielded Ivy behind him.


    “Didn’t you get enough of a lessonst time that you still dare to show up here again, spewing your lies


    so shamelessly?”


    ra shivered a bit in the presence of such a towering man.


    But then it struck her how nauseating it was that such a fine specimen of a man was so willingly giving


    his heart to Ivy, and a wave of disgust washed over her.


    “Don’t you find it repulsive to be with this woman? She’s the type to just toss her own mother aside and


    not give a hoot. From what gather, you’ve got elders in your family, don’t you? Aren’t you scared she’ll


    do the same to your grandparents?”


    Ivy couldn’t fathom where ra got the idea that she was someone who would neglect all her elders.


    Yet, the deep hatred in ra’s words was palpable.


    Even with Balfour standing in front of her, Ivy couldn’t resist snapping back, “Ms. Dunhill, aren’t you


    sticking your nose a bit too far into my business? What I do with the Howards grandma and grandpa is


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


    none of your concern. You’re reaching too far.”


    ra’s jealousy churned in her stomach as she sneered at Ivy’s audacity to call them grandma and


    grandpa.


    “Abandoning your own mother and yet you have the nerve to call others grandma and grandpa? You’ve


    got some thick skin. Ivy, if I were your mother and knew I’d have a heartless and ungrateful daughter


    like you, I would have nipped it in the bud when you were still in your cradle!”


    Ivy rolled her eyes dramatically, musing that Tessa might have actually considered that option back in


    the day.


    After all, she had so dearly wanted a boy but got Ivy instead.


    It was all about luck, Ivy thought with a wry smile. But none of this gave ra the right to attack her.


    “Enough with the baseless chatter. We are not on the same page. Unlike you, I have better things to do


    than to obsess over me.”


    Ivy’s retort inmed ra, who puffed up like a balloon as if she wanted to lunge at her.


    “Don’t tter yourself thinking I’m keeping tabs on you. I’m just expressing the regret your mother must


    feel! Having a daughter like you is no better than raising a dog. My dad and I always visit her, but her


    heart longs for you. Yet you, her own flesh and blood, can’t spare a single moment to see her. Today,


    you finally show up, and you bring a parade of reporters with you!


    I can’t fathom it. How much time would it really take out of your day? I think you’ve finished the film,


    right, Ms. Big Shot Actress? Can’t you spare a sliver of your time for your mother? Seeing you could lift


    her spirits and help her recover faster!”


    Ivy exchanged a nce with Balfour. Even they weren’t dense enough to miss the problems in ra’s


    tirade.


    She painted Ivy as a callous and heartless daughter, yet the truth was far from ra’s usations,


    especially since she herself hadn’t visited Tessa at all.


    “Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you’re going to be that stubborn, then I have to set you straight.


    When exactly did you drop by to see her? Even now, as you block my way, have you peeked into her


    room? And what about Finn? Other than dumping her in this hospital, .has he bothered to visit? He


    wouldn’t even consider sending her to a better facility. What exactly are you all ying at? Are you just


    waiting for her to wither away in this godforsaken ce?”
