The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chatper 1910

Chapter 1910

Everything was packed, and all Ivy had was a single suitcase.

Gripping the handle, she was ready to head downstairs and leave, when Tessa suddenly clutched at her arm. “Ivy,

have you lost your mind? Show some self-respect, will you? With your looks, snagging a husband should be a walk

in the park. Why on earth would you become someone’s mistress?”

“Mom, is that really what you think of me?” Ivy retorted, her eyes blazing with indignation. Tessa was taken aback;

she had never seen such a look from her daughter before.

Had Ivy found herself a sugar daddy and now felt too big for her britches?

Seizing the moment of Tessa’s distraction, Ivy wrenched her arm free and hurried downstairs, suitcase in tow.

The moment she reached the bottom of the stairs, she ran into Finn and his daughter Clara.

Clara, spotting the suitcase in Ivy’s hand, let out a mocking sneer. “Dad, I told you Ivy was playing mistress to

someone! Look at her, taking all her stuff. She’s moving out to be fully kept by her sugar daddy!”

Finn’s gaze upon Ivy turned icy with disapproval. “Ivy, are you really going to drag our family name through the

mud?”

Finn’s face was stern with regret. “If I’d known your mother was carrying a daughter, I might not have let her bring

you into this world.”

Ivy had heard such harsh words many times over the years. She was never the child her parents had hoped for. If

they hadn’t thought Tessa was carrying a son, Ivy would never have been given the chance to live.

She had always endured in silence.

But after what Clara had done to her last night, and with their parents’ blind support for Clara, Ivy couldn’t forgive

or hold back any longer.

“Mom, Dad, I am moving out. I came back to pick up my things, and also there are some things I need to say to

you.”

Seeing that Ivy might reveal the truth, Clara panicked.

She quickly shot Tessa a look, silently pleading with her to rein in her daughter!

Tessa caught it on immediately. Finn hadn’t spoken to her all night because of the scandal surrounding lvy, and she

did not want to provoke her husband’s ire because of their disappointing daughter, Ivy.

“If you’ve decided to move out, what more is there to talk about? If you respected our wishes, you wouldn’t have

gotten yourself into this mess!” Tessa didn’t want to hear anything Ivy had to say, fearing she’d say something to

further enrage Finn.

Finn had no intention of listening either. He was about to head back upstairs when Ivy rushed forward, blocking his

path with her arm.

“Mom, Dad! The truth is, last night Clara dragged me to a bar and deliberately got me drunk. She planned to offer

me up to a businessman in exchange for favors. I haven’t become anyone’s mistress. It wasn’t me who was

entangled with a man!”

“Ivy, what are you… You’re spouting nonsense!” Clara’s facade crumbled into panic as she lunged forward, trying

to pull Ivy away. “Don’t make up lies to clear your name by dumping this on me!”
