The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2421

"That settles it," Clara sighed with relief after everything was arranged. She pecked Tessa on the cheek, a lighthearted skip in her step as she bounced back to her room.

Tessa remained rooted to the spot, her hand subconsciously touching her cheek, at a loss for words.

Was she really going to sacrifice her own flesh and blood for her adoptive daughter?

Once back in her sanctuary, Clara whipped out her phone, and with tearful indignation, she spun a tale of the trials she'd endured as Ivy's elder sister over the years.

The title blared: [Ivy, How Many More Must You Hurt?]

This so-called little sister hadn't brought her much benefit, instead overshadowing her in the social circles, shining brighter by the day.

Clara seethed with resentment. She knew she was prettier than Ivy, and, in terms of family background, Ivy was nothing more than an unwanted wretch.

In what way could Ivy compare to her?

Why could Ivy immediately secure a role in Colton’s movie upon entering the industry? It was simply because she had stolen her opportunities!

The mere thought of Ivy debuting with an invitation from Colton made Clara's blood boil.

"My dear little sister, it seems this time you won’t be able to make a comeback. Since everyone is against you, it’s not a big deal for me, your sister, to step in and voice some criticism, is it?"

How could you, Ivy?

Standing up now isn't about seeking attention; it's because I still have a conscience.

Ivy, if there's any shred of decency left in you, apologize. It's been too long for evasion. The harm started with me, and it needs to stop. Withdraw your claws, Ivy; the world doesn't revolve around you.

— From your sister Clara, who still loves you but dares not draw near.]

Just as the uproar surrounding Ivy had begun to simmer down, Clara's post reignited the flames, thrusting Ivy back into the searing spotlight.
