The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2505

"Think about it, have you done anything lately that might have really ticked Balfour off? What if Ivy had done such a thing?"

"He has zero tolerance for any wrongdoing, and he would definitely take a serious disliking to her." Mara's face lit up with a sudden realization, and a smile crept across her lips. "Looks like you're pretty sharp, aren't you? Since you've got an idea brewing, how about you hammer out the details for me?"

Mara gave Olivia a pat on the shoulder. "I want an answer by tomorrow."

With that, she stood up and returned to her room, leaving Olivia behind to call out helplessly, "Hey, these things can't be rushed, you know."

But Mara wasn't about to wait around. The sight of Ivy cozying up to Balfour was more than she could stomach for another day.

Instead of waiting for them to drift apart naturally, it was better to make Balfour gradually grow tired of Ivy.

One thing Olivia was spot on about was that men are creatures of sight; their interest often wanes with time.

...

The budding romance between Ivy and Balfour was going strong, much to the delight of Alyssa.

With her 80th birthday bash just around the corner, she was keen on having Ivy and Balfour attend her birthday party together.

It would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Ivy as the legitimate granddaughter-in-law of the Howard family.

This way, Ivy could stand tall in social circles and not be easily pushed around by anyone.

Alyssa's birthday party was scheduled before Ivy's fan meeting.

Given her standing in society, the guest list for the well-wishers was endless.

Ivy, attending such a grand event for the first time, was quite out of her element. Before the big day, she had Balfour take her out to pick a gift.
