The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2459

Clara thought she hit a nerve with Ivy, but to her surprise, Ivy merely let out a breezy chuckle.

"Heh."

"What's so funny?"

Clara slammed her hands on the table as Ivy, with an air of feigned confusion, smiled wryly.

"Why can't I laugh? Sis, you don't seriously still think I'm that naive little girl from years ago, do you? Who's the one really stuck in the past? I've long outgrown the need for the approval you're harping on about."

Clara's smile faltered. "Cut the act. You're just jealous because you'll never have the love of Tessa and Finn like I do!"

Between the two, it was Clara who seemed more like the provoked one. She kept insisting that Ivy was missing out on Tessa and Finn's affection.

But Ivy, who had moved past that need, was far from ruffled.

"So what if I don't have it? Are they supposed to be some kind of big deal? Clara, when will you get it? Even with their love, look at you now. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Though Ivy left her comment hanging, her eyes roamed over Clara in a way that made Clara's cheeks burn with embarrassment.

"What about me now? I'm doing just fine. I've got so many endorsements I've lost count. And you? You're stuck in this no-name production, shooting some low-budget flick. I'm miles ahead. Quit your grandstanding in front of me. Mark my words: one day, my fan base will dwarf yours!"
