The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2134

Ivy strutted forward, her heels clicking with an assertive rhythm that seemed to resonate with her fierce presence.

In contrast, Giselle, who usually carried herself with an air of arrogance, suddenly felt a wave of insecurity wash

over her at the sight of Ivy. She even took an unintentional step back.

Seizing the moment, Ivy flashed a disarming smile and said, “Giselle, fancy meeting you here. Weren’t you

supposed to have a busy morning on set today? I heard you had quite a few scenes lined up.”

Ivy’s words seemed to glide over Giselle’s obvious panic.

Brushing her hair because of inner unease, Giselle attempted to retain her composure, “I… I just happened to be

passing by and thought I’d pop in for a look. A visit to the police station might come in handy for a future role.”

“Who would just happen’ to swing by a police station? Could it be that you’re here to visit someone, Giselle?”

Ivy’s smile, relaxed and self-assured, only served to irritate Giselle further.

Giselle’s teeth was itching with annoyance.

“As an actress, it’s part of my job to observe life. What’s wrong with visiting a police station? And why do you care

where I go? More to the point, what brings you to the doorstep of the police station?” Giselle shot back.

Indeed, what did it matter if Ivy had caught her at the police station?

Why should she have to explain herself to this upstart?

After all, she was a celebrated leading lady of the silver screen, while Ivy was nothing but a greenhorn. What did

her presence here even matter?

“I’m not like you, Giselle. I don’t have time to take leisurely strolls to the police station. I’ve got real business here.

My sister got mixed up in some foolishness, and I felt it was my duty to come by, show my support, and hopefully

get her back on the right path.”

“Is that so? Well, then go take care of your sister. I have a packed schedule and can’t afford to waste any more

time here,” Giselle said, slipping on her sunglasses, ready to leave.

But Ivy’s voice followed her, “Giselle, there are some things that must be said. You’ve got the crown of a leading

lady now. You have to take care of your reputation. ‘The more you walk in night, the likelier you are to stain your

dress,’ as the saying goes. I’m sure you understand that better than anyone. Some mistakes can be fixed, but some

actions can’t be undone. If you don’t want people to know, mind your behaviour.”

Giselle’s face paled instantly. Was this woman threatening her?

She clearly understood the hints in Ivy’s words. But she couldn’t gauge how much Ivy really knew, or if this was all

just a bluff, a probing tactic.

Giselle bit her lip and pretended not to hear, hurrying away. She didn’t dare to turn back to meet Ivy’s gaze.

Watching Giselle’s retreating figure, Ivy’s eyes darkened. She didn’t believe she had provoked Giselle intentionally.

But now, as the nominal Mrs. Balfour, she couldn’t avoid her spite.

If Balfour knew that Giselle was behind all this, would he be as furious as he had been with Clara?

Ivy didn’t want to ponder that.
