Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 457

Seeing that Alaric was about to lose his temper.

Xavier looked increasingly desperate.

Sitting on the sidelines, Ivy felt incredibly torn.

She tentatively scooted a bit closer to Alaric and spoke up gently.

"Um... I really didn't like what Tristan did to me back then. But since he knows he was wrong, maybe..."

She nudged the man beside her, lowering her voice even further.

"Maybe we could just let this go!"

He was her sister's biological brother, after all.

If she made a massive fuss and ended up ruining Tristan's career, she'd be entirely to blame.

She wouldn't even know how to explain it to her sister later.

Alaric shot her a withering glare, his face remaining frigid.

"Do you have any idea how much damage he actually caused? And you're just going to let it slide."

If he hadn't forced his PR team to scrub the internet clean immediately, did she honestly think she'd be sitting peacefully in his office without a care in the world?

If he hadn't handled it, this girl would have been doxxed by Tristan's deranged fanbase. She wouldn't have even known what hit her.

And yet here she was, telling him to just let it go.

She really was bleeding out her heart for the Rhodes brothers.

Alaric was beyond furious.

"Then... then what do you want to do!"

Seeing that he was on the verge of exploding, Ivy ducked her head, at a total loss for what to do.

Alaric refused to look at her again, addressing Xavier with utter apathy.

"Blacklisting Tristan is the kindest thing I can do for him. This isn't up for debate. Leo, see him out."

Realizing negotiations had completely broken down, Xavier once again pinned his hopes on Ivy.

"Ivy, I sincerely apologize on my brother's behalf. I am so sorry for whatever trouble he caused you."

"But blacklisting him means destroying his career. He worked so hard to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. If he can never act again, it's going to destroy him."
