Chapter 2536
Ivy couldn’t understand why some people just couldn’t take a hint. She had cut ties with
the Dunhills long ago, yet they refused to let her live in peace, even spreading their family
disputes online.
“I’m sorry, but Clara’s not my sister. You’ve got the wrong person.”
If they were going to ostracize her over this nonsense, Ivy decided she didn’t need to
waste her breath on them. She wasn’t planning on returning to this dance studio anyway.
“Hey, what’s with the attitude? You mess up, and we can’t talk about it? Even your own
folks can’t stand you, can they? With that personality of yours, I’m baffled how someone
like the CEO of the Howard Group could fall for you. What’s your trick?” Ophelia sneered,
Though her domineering nature wasn’t exactly a favorite among the other dancers, her

What did Ivy have that they didn’t? Why would such a catch be into her? Sure, Ivy was a
bit prettier, but she wasn’t exactly Miss High Society.
Why on earth did Balfour pick her? Weren’t the Howards about matching status and social
standing?
It was the talk of the studio. If Ivy came from a remarkable background, they wouldn’t
dare to dream. But with the perceived gap narrowing, even the most ordinary among them

It all boiled down to jealousy. Balfour was Ivy’s husband, and they couldn’t stand it.
Ivy gave a faint, knowing smile. “I thought you might be defending someone’s honor,
wondering who I’d offended. Turns out it’s just envy over my relationship with my
husband. Pity, all the jealousy in the world won’t change a thing.”
Ophelia’s face turned beet red with embarrassment as her schemes were laid bare. She
stuttered, “You, you…”
“What about me? I’m telling the truth. Or would you rather hear some lie about my
marriage being in shambles, that if you were in my place, he’d fall for you too? Isn’t that
what you want to hear? To be soothed by falsehoods?”
Ophelia had pegged Ivy as an easy target. She had been smeared online countless times
without a public rebuttal, resorting only to legal letters through her work. Even in person,
her greetings were polite, lacking the assertiveness of other stars. Thus, Ophelia thought
she had found someone to push around.
The online vitriol painted Ivy as anything but moral, and Ophelia was convinced of it. At

But the latest gossip had everyone exchanging gleeful glances. Ivy wasn’t just
exceptionally talented; she had a boyfriend who picked her
up
after every session.
To them, it was the ultimate envy-Balfour Howard, the ever-busy CEO, making time to
quietly wait for her each day. Not once had they heard a complaint from him, and in their
eyes, it was something to covet.
