“You work for Balfour, don’t you? This mess isn’t my doing-I was set up! At worst, I'm an accessory to the crime, but | absolutely can’t go to jail. I've still got a bright future ahead of me.” Her impulsiveness caused the officer to firmly guide her back to her seat.
“Weren't you all full of bluster before? Going on and on about not caring for your future, ready to go down with Ivy. Did we hear you wrong?” The threats Clara had made when she had kidnapped Ivy were those of someone with nothing to lose, but now she seemed desperate to cling to life.
Clara snapped back, “I've had an epiphany. Why should | take the fall for something | didn’t do? | was a scapegoat, and | refuse to sit back and accept my fate. If there's a chance forto turn things around, | won't let myself be tied down here.” Leo smirked. This woman's ability to spin yarns was truly something, devoid of any logic.

“If you're saying someone else put you up to this, who would that be? Do you have any evidence? Without it, everything you're saying was futile.” “Who else in this world hates Ivy more than Mara? She’s the one who approached me. | hesitated because, after all, Ivy is my half-sister.

If you want to know, get Balfour himself to c here.” Leo scoffed. Everyone wanted a piece of their boss, but the man wasn’t available for just anyone.
“Ms. Dunhill, it's not realistic for you to meet my boss with your status.” Despite the mockery, Clara wasn’t offended. She simply told him, “Just let your boss know it’s about his ‘old flame’. He'll cto see me. Let's wait and see.” 1/2 08 Chapter 2571 Leo bowed his head to hide his shock.
Ivy was still fighting for her life in the hospital, and now there was talk of an ‘old flame’? Did Ivy even know about this? At Mara’s house.
The smile on Mara’s face was strained. “Balfour, didn’t you head back to the hospital? What brings you back again?
