Chapter 2322

After the long evening at the hospital, it was Balfour who lifted Ivy gently into his arms and carried her

back into the house.

To their surprise, Alyssa and Dean had been waiting up for them in the living room, their eyes heavy

with sleep that they refused to succumb to.

“Back at last! What did the doctor say?” Alyssa bustled forward, concern knitting her brow as she

followed them to the couch.

Ivy, feeling a twinge of guilt, took Alyssa’s hand. “Grandma, Grandpa, you should’ve gone to bed. It’s

really not a big deal.”

Alyssa sighed with a frown. “How could we sleep knowing you two were still out? Don’t worry, dear. At

our age, we don’t need much sleep anyway.”

Seeing Ivy struggling to get down, Alyssa relented. “Alright, now that you’re back, we can rest easy.

Just make sure Balfour takes good care of you.”

With a nod of assurance from Balfour, Alyssa finally retreated to her room with Dean shuffling behind

her.

“You hungry? Want me to whip up something for you?” Balfour offered, but Ivy shook her head. Her

appetite had vanished with the night’s turmoil.

Respecting her wishes, Balfour decided he’d prepare some warm soup later if she felt peckish during

their usual late-night snack time.

Not long after they settled, Mark trudged in, carrying Mara over his shoulder. He barely greeted them

before he scurried away, eager to escape to the security staff and cooks’ quarters in the small building

beside the main house.

Mara, noticing the quiet atmosphere, didn’t bother to keep her voice down despite Ivy’s presence. She

flashed a sly grin at Balfour. “Next time Ivy gets sick, we should skip that hospital. The doc’s no good. A

different one prescribed me loads of topical medicine.”

Ivy ignored Mara’s chatter. Her day had been turned upside down because of her, resulting in a twisted

ankle that would keep her from the film set. Frustration bubbled within her, but she was indifferent to

how Balfour might handle Mara’s punishment. All Ivy wanted was to deal with the aftermath and return

to the set.

Balfour, not giving Mara the satisfaction of a response, turned to Ivy. “Didn’t you say you wanted to

rest? Shall I carry you up to your room?”

With a nod, Ivy accepted his offer.

Mara watched, eyes brimming with envy, as Balfour lifted Ivy and carried her upstairs. Left alone in the

vast living room, Mara’s composure crumbled, and she hurled the decorative pillows from the couch to

What was so special about Ivy? Why did she deserve such attention?

The thought of Ivy, an actress, being associated with the Howards boiled her blood.

In a huff, Mara grabbed her phone and opened her long-dormant Twitter account. Initially, she’d used it

to follow the international business moves of the Howards, a family of sharks in the corporate sea. But

when she discovered that the Howards had welcomed an actress into their fold, she was stunned.

If someone from showbiz could marry into the Howard family, why couldn’t she?
