The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2542

After witnessing the difference in performance between them two earlier, she couldn't help but wonder how Ophelia could be so brazen as to speak like that.

Ivy didn't say much, just that she didn't have much time left, and that if she stayed any longer, her family would start to worry.

"Do you think we don't know what's going on online? Your family kicked you out a long time ago. Where do you get off claiming to have family concerns? Just admit you're scared, and I won't even make fun of you for being a coward."

Although Ophelia was obviously the one who lost, she was acting high and mighty, poking and prodding at Ivy's wounds at every turn.

Ms. Madison couldn't take it any longer, and just as she was about to scold Ophelia, she suddenly heard a man's voice coming from the doorway.

"So, you lose the first round and you're still so smug? Do you think nobody can tell right from wrong?"

As soon as Ms. Madison had sent a message to Balfour, he had sensed something was off.

Arriving early to pick up Ivy, he hadn't expected to find her in a dance-off with another student.

Initially, he was enjoying the show, but when the challenge ended and Ophelia started bullying and mocking Ivy, Balfour got angry.

As soon as Ivy saw Balfour, her defenses went down. "Why are you here so early? Didn't I say not to worry?"

Love was evident in the way they looked at each other.

Faced with the man she secretly loved, Ophelia's face turned red at his harsh words.

"I... Mr. Howard, you might not know what kind of person this woman is. She's a jinx! If you keep associating with her, your life and that of your family will be affected. It's best to distance yourself from her as soon as possible."
