The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2263

"Shut up!" Balfour barked, startling Diana to the point where she nearly dropped her hand from her pocket.

"Who do you think you are? You are not even worthy to speak her name."

Balfour's words struck a nerve, hitting Diana right where it hurt.

She had the looks and the talent, but Ivy... Ivy just had that extra bit of luck. What made her less worthy?

She deserved those millions of followers more than Ivy did!

"How am I not worthy? That woman? What's her talent besides stirring up the tabloids every other day? She's the one who’s unworthy of her status!"

Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and she ground her teeth in anger.

Balfour glanced at her bulging pocket nonchalantly. If he was not mistaken, the very thing they were after was right there in her grasp!

"Unworthy? Someone like you have the gall to speak of worth?" He sneered.

"Someone like me? Why am I unworthy? You know nothing! If it wasn’t for the backing of the Howard family behind her, who in this industry would give her the time of day?"

Balfour did not care about these accusations; his role was to be Ivy's solid rock and support, come what may.

He was willing to withstand the criticism, all for her.

As Diana was consumed by her rage, Balfour edged closer to her.

"You say Ivy is unworthy, but are you?"

Colton held his breath, his thoughts racing. How could Balfour get so close to her?

Mr. Howard could not possibly fall for this woman, could he?

Were they not supposed to be gathering evidence?
