    “Send him another message, he won’t reply like that, because he loves me! How could he possibly


    reply like that? You’re messing with me, right?”


    Ivy furrowed her brow and red at ra, whose patience wearing thin. Without another word, ra


    pped Ivy so hard she crashed onto the bed.


    “Believe it or not, that’s the message your so-called beloved sent you. Oh, and your love? It’s as fragile


    as a house of cards-it doesn’t even need a gust of wind, just a swollen cheek to vanish. Pathetic, really.


    But hey, I’ll do you a solid because of your sad little disy and ask him again.”


    ra’s fingers danced across her phone as she sent Balfour another message: [Yourdy’s with me.


    Face is not as pretty as it used to be. But Mr. Howard, you’re a man of romance, probably won’t mind


    shelling out a few million for an ex, right?]


    Balfour was on edge, waiting for ra’s text. The moment he saw it, he grabbed his phone and drafted


    a quick response but hesitated. If he was to show he didn’t care about Ivy now, how could he reply so


    quickly?


    “Mr. Howard, we can only confirm that Mrs. Howard is in a vige on the outskirts, but we’re not sure of


    her exact whereabouts.”


    “Keep searching-uracy is key. We don’t want to startle them. If necessary, get in touch with the


    vige head. Tell the locals I’ll generously reward any useful info, no expense spared.”


    “Understood.”


    Balfour sped his hands, praying that nothing else would go awry. He knew ra was there, but not if


    Mara was or if they had called anyone else. He couldn’t risk Ivy’s safety.


    “Ouch-looks like your rich hubby really doesn’t care about you. Minutes have passed, and no reply.


    Wonder whichdy he’s with now.”


    ra was getting impatient when the thug from the next room poked his head in. Ivy’s heart skipped a


    beat, hoping it wasn’t as bad as she feared.


    “Hey, superstar, you’re awake! I’m a big fan. Friends call me Ellis, heh.”.


    “What are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to wait? If I need you, then youe.’


    Ellis scratched his head. “I figured half an hours passed, ra, and you still don’t need me? What

    happened to her face? Man, that’s heartbreaking to see.”


    ra was about to scold him when her gaze fell on Ivy, who was trying to avoid Ellis’s leering stare.


    ra then shed a suggestive smile.


    “Oops, forgot to introduce today’s special guest. Ellis, meet Ivy. You two will be getting very acquainted


    soon. Isn’t that right? You’re the acting pro, so remember to sh us your best smile, huh?”


    Ellis, ncing at the now-awake Ivy, grew fidgety, rubbing his hands together.


    “Sorry, superstar, it looks like you’re in my hands today. Lucky me. Couldn’t even snag a ticket to your


    fan meetst time, and now look at this chance, hehe.”


    His sleazyugh and lecherous gaze made lvy incredibly ufortable. She wished she could curl up


    and disappear.


    “ra, what the hell do you want?”
