The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2462

Clara charged at Ivy with a roar; her face twisted in rage. Despite being on guard, Ivy still jumped at the sudden onslaught.

Just as Clara was about to tackle Ivy, a man dashed from behind and pulled Ivy to the side by her waist, dodging the attack.

Colton was mortified, cursing his timing.

Why did Clara have to lash out at Ivy again right when Balfour decided to drop by?

They had been under the watchful eye of the crew all day; their conversation was strained but nonviolent. But now, as Ivy was about to return to the set, Clara exploded.

"Balfour?"

Steadying herself, Ivy looked up to see it was indeed Balfour. Her face lit up with a surprised smile.

"What brings you here? Isn't the office swamped today?"

Of course, Balfour had been tipped off by a mole in the production team. The moment he knew someone from the Dunhill family had approached Ivy, he dashed over from the office, fearing Ivy would be bullied once more.

"Weren't you done with these people? Why are you meeting with this... person again?"

Balfour frowned, a shadow crossing his handsome features.

"It's okay," Ivy reassured, lightly tugging on his sleeve. "She didn't do much."

Clara had imagined the man behind Ivy a thousand times: a chubby, short man dwarfed by her own stature. But she never expected to meet such a dashing and noble figure, someone who seemed oddly familiar, someone she might have seen somewhere before.

For a brief moment, Clara played the part of the concerned sister well.

But Balfour, listening to her insincere words, could only find it amusing. Did she really think he was oblivious to their family drama?

"So it's you."

Clara's heart leaped with joy at his recognition. Surely, this accomplished man couldn't resist her charm over Ivy's.

"Mr. Balfour, you remember me, don't you?" Clara's smile was shy, but her face froze the next moment at Balfour's response.

"I know your name because you were the one spreading rumors online when Ivy was in trouble, making a bad situation worse. And let's not forget, you hired those thugs that nearly got Ivy hurt!"
