The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2262

The only thing that could deceive Ivy was a piece of rope.

They searched the room thoroughly, but found nothing.

Colton, unable to contain his frustration, turned to Kael and asked, "Did you help her get rid of the weapon?"

Kael, looking more dead than alive, was hauled to his feet and cast a fleeting glance at the lounge they briefly shared, chuckling foolishly.

"You give me too much credit. Getting rid of the weapon is a big deal. Why would she entrust me with that?"

Diana was always overly cautious; she only trusted herself.

As they were at their wits' end, nobody expected Diana to show up at the door clad in a trench coat.

Her eyes lit up upon seeing Balfour, but then she surveyed the room with a scowl, her smile quickly dissipating.

"What's the meaning of this, Colton? Storming into a young actress's lounge in the dead of night with a posse isn't exactly gentlemanly, is it?" she inquired. Her hands were in her pockets, and half her face shrouded by the high collar of her coat, exuding an air of someone not to be trifled with.

"It's one thing to crash an actress's private space, but it's a whole other story if said actress is a suspect."

Diana's first instinct was to check Balfour's expression, causing Colton's heart to sink. Could it be that this woman had set her sights on Mr. Howard?

The thought of Ivy's peril at her hands sent a chill ran down his spine.

Diana was indeed cunning. If her plot against Ivy had gone undetected, she might indeed leave a lasting impression on Balfour with her wiles.

"A suspect? What suspect? Let's not joke around, Colton. It's far from funny," she said, her eyebrows arching defiantly, not showing the slightest sign of panic even outnumbered.

If it wasn't for her sinister deeds, Colton might have admired her guts. The more they interacted, the more they experienced a growing sense of fear.
