    Chapter 2487


    They never stop to think-if she had an ulterior motive, how on earth would she get close to Balfour in


    the first ce?


    What’s more, they seriously underestimated Balfour.


    He’s been a shark in the business sea for years, so did anybody really believe he couldn’t spot a gold


    digger from a mile away?


    But she bet they didn’t care about the facts. They just wanted to hear it straight from his mouth-that Ivy


    was chasing him for his wallet.


    Her dignity? That was probably thest thing on their minds.


    If they could just get a snippet from Balfour, that would be enough to fuel their headlines.

    More scoops, more clicks-it’s the mantra. In this era, it’s all about the buzz. And whoever has got the


    buzz reigns supreme.


    When they finally broke through the mob and made it back to the car, Ivy let out a sigh of -relief.


    In the car, it was just the two of them aside from the driver. The disappointment on Ivy’s face was


    unmistakable.


    Nowadays, people often overlook her talents, fixated only on her beauty and Balfour’s wealth.


    Everyone assumes she’s hit the jackpot by being with Balfour, and without anyone els the picture, Ivy


    would tend to agree.


    She was constantly thinking how lucky she was by having Balfour in her life.


    To her, meeting Balfour felt like a gift from the heavens. But constant scrutiny was wearing her down.


    When would people see them and just think, ‘What a perfect match’?


    Ivy sighed. She knew the road ahead was long and tough.


    She just didn’t want doubts cast upon their rtionship and their love to be seen as fleeting.


    All she hoped for was blessings, not curses.


    Balfour, sensing the tension, leaned over and stroked her hair, asking, “What’s wrong? Are you upset?


    The press frenzy today was unexpected. Next time, I swear you won’t have to go through that panic


    again.”


    Ivy leaned against Balfour’s shoulder and shook her head, her hair tickling his face.


    “It’s not just that. I’ve thought about how traveling might not be so easy in the future. Sure, I’m not


    exactly tabloid royalty yet, but I’m semi famous. These gossip hounds never let up on someone like


    me.


    But today was a fluke, and you couldn’t have predicted it. I can’t expect you to bail me out every time,


    can I? It’s just that…”


    Balfour sat up straighter, lifting her chin to meet her gaze, “What do you mean you can’t expect me to


    bail you out every time?”


    Ivy blinked her wide eyes innocently, “I’m just speaking the truth. I’m an independent person, and you


    can’t be by my side every second of the day. How can I rely on you for everything? Otherwise, if I run


    into a situation like today’s, I’ll still have to face it alone, won’t I?”


    Even though Ivy was being rational, Balfour felt a twinge of discontent. He wanted to be her rock,


    always there for her to lean on.


    “Well. Whether or not I can be there is one thing; whether you want to rely on me is quite another.”


    Once Ivy caught on to what was really bothering Balfour, she couldn’t help butugh, “Oh, so that’s


    what this is about. I feel pretty lousy, to be honest. I didn’t want to answer any of those reporters’


    questions. Is every interview going to be like this from now on?”


    Ivy’s vulnerability, her willingness to share her difort with Balfour were so endearing to him.
