The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2116

Chapter 2116 

Clara was seething with frustration as she ranted about the unreliable gang she had hired. “Those goons have no sense of loyalty: they flip sides faster than pancakes at a Sunday brunch. Look at them now-not a dime to show for their treachery. Serves them right, it’s karma!” 

Oblivious to the fact that she was on the verge of being arrested herself, Clara scorned the thugs with a sneer. 

“So, what exactly do you mean by ‘flipping sides’?” Asked the officer, a hint of curiosity in his voice.. 

Clara recounted the tale of the gang being duped by Ivy as if it were a joke. “I told them from the start that that woman doesn’t have two nickels to rub together-just a con artist. But did they listen to me? No!” 

The officers could sense Clara’s underhanded nature from just this brief conversation. 

In her eyes, Ivy’s misfortune was her only source of joy-a classic case of spiteful envy. 

“She plays the innocent, the damsel in distress, but behind the scenes, she’s the lowest of the low! Even that man was fooled by the act she puts on!” 

Clara’s cheeks flushed at the mention of ‘that man,’ her expression a mix of longing and infatuation. 

“Which man are we talking about?” the officer probed further. 

“The one…” Clara’s face fell as she recalled the scene of Balfour embracing Ivy and walking away, “The fool who was seduced by Ivy and came running to her rescue!” 

The officers exchanged glances; they could all read the same disbelief in each other’s eyes. 

Was this woman completely lost in her own fantasy world? She was clearly jealous of Ivy, even scheming against her, yet she spoke as if she were the victim. 

“Ms. Dunhill, please stick to the facts. We’re all adults here; we can make our own assessments, especially Mr. Howard. He knows Ivy far better than you ever could,” the officer said with a tone that mixed disbelief with pity. 

They did not believe Clara at all, only treating her as a mad person.
