Chapter 2420
“I’d been working my butt off to make a comeback, scrambling for every bit part I could get.
But darn it, there were these few people who knew about the mess between me and Ivy. They kept
using that to trip me up, as if they were pushing bad luck my way every chance they got. I was
supposed to shoot a commercial for this company, and they had specifically wanted me only me. But
because of Ivy, I lost that gig too. Tessa, what’s your daughter gonna do to make this right? Hasn’t she
dragged me through the mud enough? Now I’m getting pulled into her drama again. How is that fair?”
Tessa looked ashamed. “I can’t imagine Ivy bullying anyone. Isn’t your industry a bit chaotic? You
know, with all the backstabbing and mudslinging. You can’t believe everything those gossip sites post,
right?”
Clara rolled her eyes. “Have you forgotten how I ended up behind bars because of her? Does she want

Tessa seemed helpless. “That wild child hasn’t lived at home for ages. I can’t control her anymore.
Besides, your father doesn’t follow this celebrity gossip. Let’s keep it from him, okay?”
When Clara heard her tone, she knew Tessa wasn’t going to help. She let go of her arm and wrapped
her own arms around herself, standing there aloof.
“If you’re not going to handle your daughter, I’ll have to take care of it myself. Last time, I was unlucky
to get locked up, but Dad bailed me out. I won’t let this slide. Ivy’s going to pay.”
She spun on her heel and started to walk away when Tessa, a bit frantic, caught up and grabbed her
wrist. “Clara, please don’t be mad. Let’s not make a scene. It was hard enough getting you out last
time; we can’t afford another incident.”
Clara stopped in her tracks, her back to Tessa, her face twisted in disdain. She knew how to
manipulate Tessa, even when she was just a kid!
Suddenly, she spun around and hugged Tessa. “Tessa, why don’t you go talk to Ivy? Tell her to stop
spreading stuff about us, okay?”
Tessa looked puzzled. “Ever since Ivy moved out, we haven’t been on good terms. That girl won’t go
blabbing about our relationship – it’s just not her style.”
And what good would it do to talk to Ivy? She doesn’t care about Tessa’s opinion
anymore.
Clara put on a sympathetic smile. “Tessa, I’m not actually asking you to talk to Ivy about this, I’m giving
you a chance to see your daughter. Don’t you miss her?”

Chapter 2420
Tessa paused, realizing she hadn’t thought about Ivy in ages.
But Clara’s thoughtful act seemed to touch her
She smiled contentedly. “Having you as a daughter is more than enough for me, Clara. As for Ivy-she
left without a backward glance and got you in trouble. There’s no need for me to chase after her.
Whatever you need, just say the word. Ivy may have left this family, but it’s not right for you to suffer for
her actions. I know how hard it is for you in this industry.” Clara looked touched. “I knew you’d have my
back, Tessa. Since Ivy’s the talk of the town right now, why don’t you pay her a visit? Maybe you could
record something for me?”
Tessa saw the cunning in Clara’s eyes, but for the sake of keeping peace in the family, she reluctantly
agreed, “Tell me what you want, and I’ll do it.”
