The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2461

Clara had never spoken to her with such humility, even lowering the neck she had always held so high, her voice barely above a whisper:

"Look, sis, I messed up this time, okay? Can't you just let it slide, just this once?

You must realize these job opportunities mean the world to me. We're not the same; you've got some sugar daddy backing you up while I'm out here on my own, trying to make a name for myself in this cutthroat industry! Do you really want to see me drown in the spit and scorn of the crowd?"

Ivy couldn't help but find Clara's words ridiculously amusing. "Since when did I have someone backing me up? Who filled your head with that nonsense?"

Clara rolled her eyes in frustration. "That's beside the point, isn't it? Everyone in the biz knows you've got some rich guy pulling strings for you. How else could you have set up your own studio so fast? Given your current rep, it’s a wonder any agency would touch you with a ten-foot pole."

Though her words were harsh, there was an uncomfortable truth to them.

Ivy was a newbie in the scene, and it was highly unlikely for someone like her to have her own personal studio.

Especially since her controversies were a dime a dozen. Despite having solid evidence to slap back at the trolls, most companies wouldn't dare sign an actress who could stir up a media storm at the drop of a hat.

"Well, you're not entirely wrong. But what does that have to do with me forgiving you?"

Ivy flashed a big, beaming smile while Clara seemed not to grasp her meaning.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I warn you, keep your hands to yourself. All these crew members are watching, and if you don’t want to trend for the wrong reasons, you'd better keep it together."

Ivy’s smile vanished. She had never had any fondness for this family.

Having achieved what she came for, she was not keen to linger. She could be using this time to review her lines or watch Margot and the others act.

Watching Ivy’s haughtiness, all because of her sugar daddy, Clara seethed with envy. If only she hadn't been outplayed at that audition, she'd be the star now, not Ivy!

"I despise you, Ivy! You took everything from me, and here you are, prancing around like you own the place. You're so smug now, but just wait, what goes around comes around!"
