Chapter 2181

Dean scrolled through his phone’s contacts list, a twinkle in his eyes. “I’ve got a good rapport with quite a few

movie moguls-old friends from my heyday. If you fancy a meet-and-greet, I can rustle them up for a get-together

sometime.”

Ivy was flabbergasted by the offer. She well knew the clout behind the names in Dean’s Rolodex.

For an up-and-comer like her, rubbing elbows with just one of these heavyweights could catapult her to stardom.

But Ivy was already committed to a film project, and she was determined to earn her future roles through grit and

talent.

“No need, Grandpa,” she insisted, “If I’m hankering for a role, I’ll hustle for it myself!”

Alyssa beamed at her response. “Bless your heart, child. But remember to come to us when you’re in a bind.”

Still, the Howards were bound to have Ivy’s back. The string of mishaps on set was a clarion call they couldn’t

ignore.

[Ivy, you alright? Heard there’s been a bit of a ruckus on your set lately. Hope it hasn’t thrown you for a loop.]

Ivy glanced at her phone and saw the message from Nolan.

“Grandma, I need to shoot a text back to a friend,” she said, excusing her screen time. Checking her phone

incessantly at the dinner table was a downright faux pas.

Alyssa chuckled and nodded. “Of course, dear. You young people need to keep in touch.”

[How did you catch wind of the set drama?] Ivy texted back. She always found it easy to be candid with Nolan. No

beating around the bush.

[C’mon, you seriously think the grapevine doesn’t reach Colton’s set? You’re shooting a film, not holed up in a

monastery. The internet is abuzz with every cough and spit from set.]

Ivy was taken aback by Nolan’s reply. She rarely paid heed to online chatter.

[Is the rumor mill really churning that fast? Nolan, did you entertain any suspicions about me?]

Ivy sent this message half-jokingly.

If Nolan truly suspected her, he likely wouldn’t have messaged in the first place.
