The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2527

Ivy was as innocent as a lamb, yet they brazenly slung mud at her, dousing her in scandal as if it were nothing.

Her poor family background, twisted in their mouths, became a curse she bore—a harbinger of doom, they claimed!

Ivy never once exploited her family's woes for publicity, save for that one unfortunate snapshot by a nosy paparazzo. She never mingled with the Howards for the sake of headlines.

Why, then, should such mishaps stick to her like gum on a shoe?

Her fans were fuming on her behalf, but the online world was abuzz with whispers, and it seemed everyone had bought into the narrative that Ivy was shrouded in some kind of misfortune buff.

And then there was Clara, leaping back into the fray.

Since her last shenanigan, Clara's career had plummeted, nose-diving into the abyss.

Even after scheming with Mara to ambush Ivy with a pack of paparazzi, snapping shots of her and Balfour, the public saw through the ploy, charmed instead by the couple's striking compatibility.

The news only fueled Clara's seething envy. Now that she had the chance to sling insults at Ivy, she wasn't about to let it slide.

What did it matter if her own fans berated her? They couldn't touch her through their screens.
