Chapter 2170
“Was it my problem, or have you been lying to me all along?”
Balfour uttered indifferently, feeling there was no longer any point in prolonging the conversation with Giselle. It
was useless to press for an admission she was unwilling to make.
“No! I haven’t lied. It’s you who won’t trust me. You’ve been charmed by Ivy, but I’m the innocent one here!”
Giselle’s defensiveness only heightened as Ivy frowned impatiently.
“Giselle, if you keep slandering me, I’ll sue you for defamation! You’re the one who should be confessing!”

confess? I’ve already told you, I didn’t put that clothe in my bag! Stop playing the saint, Ivy. I know it was you. You
probably bought a larger size and slipped it into my bag when no one was looking!”
Ivy crossed her arms, watching Giselle unravel.
This woman was falling apart at the seams!
Ivy felt her vindication was imminent. Since the day she’d decided to play this role, her aim was solely to deliver a
convincing performance.
She was also acutely aware of another critical role she was playing: Mrs. Balfour.
The only one failing to see reality was Giselle, who believed Ivy was the obstacle between her and Balfour. Little did
she know, even without Ivy’s presence, the Howard clan would never have welcomed her.
Giselle’s desperate defense was fruitless. Anyone with a shred of sense wouldn’t buy the near-hysterical woman’s
story.
Still, that bespectacled woman stood loyally by the starlet.
She figured Giselle held far more clout than Ivy
Giselle would surely remember who had stood by her side.
“Don’t let Ivy deceive you, folks. She’s always been envious of Giselle. This is clearly a setup.”
Someone in the crowd asked with a furrowed brow, “What’s your stake in this? Why are you so protective of
Giselle? Are you her insider or something?”
The woman with glasses chuckled awkwardly, “What are you talking about? I just can’t stand watching everyone
blindly trust Ivy over an innocent Giselle.”

“Oh, please. We’ll believe whoever has the proof. Do you think we’re all as gullible as you?” The bespectacled
woman was left feeling battered and bewildered. Moments ago, the crowd had been eager to hear her take down
Ivy, but now they seemed swayed by Ivy’s
account.
Meanwhile, Giselle was a mess of tears and nonsensical pleas, repeating her convoluted feelings for Balfour over
the years.
Her face was ashen, her eyes red and swollen. She was the picture of misery.
