They never stop to think—if she had an ulterior motive, how on earth would she get close to Balfour in the first place?
What’s more, they seriously underestimated Balfour.
He's been a shark in the business sea for years, so did anybody really believe he couldn’t spot a gold digger from a mile away?
But she bet they didn’t care about the facts. They just wanted to hear it straight from his mouth—that Ivy was chasing him for his wallet.
Her dignity? That was probably the last thing on their minds.
If they could just get a snippet from Balfour, that would be enough to fuel their headlines.
More scoops, more clicks—it's the mantra. In this era, it's all about the buzz. And whoever has got the buzz reigns supreme.
When they finally broke through the mob and made it back to the car, Ivy let out a sigh of relief.
In the car, it was just the two of them aside from the driver. The disappointment on Ivy's face was unmistakable.
Nowadays, people often overlook her talents, fixated only on her beauty and Balfour's wealth.
Everyone assumes she's hit the jackpot by being with Balfour, and without anyone else in the picture, Ivy would tend to agree.
She was constantly thinking how lucky she was by having Balfour in her life.
To her, meeting Balfour felt like a gift from the heavens. But constant scrutiny was wearing her down.
