Chapter 2461
Clara had never spoken to her with such humility, even lowering the neck she had always held so high,
her voice barely above a whisper:
“Look, sis, I messed up this time, okay? Can’t you just let it slide, just this once?
You must realize these job opportunities mean the world to me. We’re not the same; you’ve got some
sugar daddy backing you up while I’m out here on my own, trying to make a name for myself in this
cutthroat industry! Do you really want to see me drown in the spit and scorn of the crowd?”
Ivy couldn’t help but find Clara’s words ridiculously amusing. “Since when did I have someone backing
me up? Who filled your head with that nonsense?”
Clara rolled her eyes in frustration. “That’s beside the point, isn’t it? Everyone in the biz knows you’ve

Given your current rep, it’s a wonder any agency would touch you with a ten-foot pole.”
Though her words were harsh, there was an uncomfortable truth to them.
Ivy was a newbie in the scene, and it was highly unlikely for someone like her to have her own personal
studio.
Especially since her controversies were a dime a dozen. Despite having solid evidence to slap back at
the trolls, most companies wouldn’t dare sign an actress who could stir up a media storm at the drop of
a hat.
“Well, you’re not entirely wrong. But what does that have to do with me forgiving you?”
Ivy flashed a big, beaming smile while Clara seemed not to grasp her meaning.
“What are you trying to say?”
Ivy feigned surprise. “Oh! You didn’t catch my drift? All that stuff you just said has nothing to do with
me. Whether or not you land these gigs or keep your sponsors, what’s it got to do with me? After all,
I’ve cut ties with the Dunhill family for good. I’m not your sister. You better watch your own back, Clara.”
Ivy’s smile was triumphant; it had been a long time coming, but she had finally stood up for her past
self.
Even though it was just a moment of verbal victory, seeing Clara’s crestfallen, almost ready to lunge
forward in fury, was immensely satisfying.
“You spiteful witch, what did you just say? I apologize to you, and you pretend not to hear, now trying to
brush me off! Don’t think you can leave; we’re not done here until things are clear; nobody’s going
anywhere!”
