Ivy glanced at Dean, who had just finished his bowl of lemonade and was delicately dabbing at the corners of his

mouth with a napkin. He nodded with a touch of aristocratic grace.

“Don’t worry, Ivy,” he reassured her, his voice warm with a grandfatherly affection. “Your Grandma and I, we’ve got

your back, no questions asked. We both know you’re not the type to get involved in such nonsense. We’ve seen it all

before.”

Ivy looked at Alyssa.

Alyssa’s eyes were filled with nothing but care and concern, devoid of any blame or accusation. The sheer empathy

in her gaze made Ivy’s eyes well up with tears.

How had she earned the unwavering support of these two genuine souls?

But inside, her heart could not help but feel a pang of loss.

Dean and Alyssa had spent far less time with her than she had with Balfour, yet they chose to trust her

unconditionally. As for Balfour?

He easily jumped to the wrong conclusion about her and another man…

She could not help but let out a sigh.

Alyssa could tell that her granddaughter-in-law’s distress was all thanks to her grandson, who could not seem to

understand women’s hearts. Thus, she felt an increasing dissatisfaction towards Balfour.

In matters of the heart, if two people sincerely wanted to be with each other, they both needed to demonstrate

unwavering trust. If they could not even manage that fundamental level of faith in each other, what chance did

they have in going forward?

Besides, Dean and Alyssa had both watched the video in question; it was completely

innocent.

Ivy’s decision to become an actress had been supported by Balfour from the start. He should have been prepared

for the unique challenges of the entertainment industry. In the future, Ivy might have romantic scenes with male

actors – was Balfour going to fly off the handle every single time?

Such reactions would only damage the foundation of their relationship.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I can’t thank you enough for your trust in me. It means the world,” Ivy said, gripping Alyssa’s

hand tightly.

She quickly bowed her head, unable to hold back her tears.

Alyssa’s heart ached more seeing Ivy like this.

Ah, the poor child, striving for her career, yet she was beset with such troubles.

“It’s the very least we can do, dear. Your grandpa and I believe in you, in who you are! Ivy, be confident. You

deserve our trust,” Alyssa said, her words only intensifying Ivy’s emotional state as she felt the stark contrast to

Balfour’s lack of faith.

Whenever something like this happened, Alyssa and Dean offered unconditional trust and

support.

But Balfour…
