Chapter 2504
“I’m still jet-lagged. Didn’t you call me back to get your Balfour back? But look at him and
Ivy now. Does he look like he’s going to change his mind and be with you? I’ve advised
you not to hang yourself on one tree. If you don’t listen to me now, you’ll regret it sooner
or later.”
Mara stood up abruptly, casting a shadow across the room that seemed to chill the air
itself. Olivia’s retort was smothered by the sudden, grim atmosphere.
“You were bragging on the phone that there’s not a man alive you can’t seduce. So why
the sudden flop with Balfour, huh? If you’re really as helpless as you’re acting, maybe you
should just catch the next flight home. Besides, you’re not scared of a mob boss’s
daughter hunting you down, are you?” Mara’s voice was cool and detached as if Olivia’s
safety was the least of her concerns.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMara had always been ruthless in cutting off dead weight, even when it came to her close
friends. She wouldn’t have taken on this headache if it weren’t for Olivia’s confident claim
that she could fix things. Back home, entangling with a mob’s daughter was asking for
trouble. But being overseas, in the vast expanse of another country, that kind of influence
couldn’t touch them. That’s why she had called Olivia back.
As the new semester loomed on the horizon, Mara knew she had to figure out a plan. She
wanted no part in this kind of strife.
Olivia’s face drained of color at Mara’s words. It was her bad luck that she had
accidentally crossed paths with the wrong woman’s man. But she was innocent! When she
had asked the guy, he had been vague about his relationship, and there didn’t seem to be
a need to pry into his life as if conducting an interrogation. Who would have thought
moment of carelessness would lead to such a disaster? Now, the idea of returning hor was
too dangerous to consider, and if Mara kicked her out, she wouldn’t know where t
turn.
“Mara, you’re joking, right? Ha, we’ve been friends for years. No need for such harsh
words, right? You just want Balfour to come around again, don’t you? I can help with tha
Olivia said, attempting to lighten the mood.
Mara didn’t crack a smile but raised an eyebrow instead.
“Really? And how exactly do you plan to make him come around? I’m not asking for the
moon here. I just want that woman out of Balfour’s life. She’s a thorn in my side. If she just
disappeared, Balfour would surely come to his senses and remember what he’s missing.
With her whispering nonsense in his ear day in and day out, who wouldn’t get
brainwashed?”
Olivia pursed her lips in response. Balfour wasn’t a child; the idea of him being
brainwashed by Ivy seemed far-fetched. But Mara was blinded by her own obsession,

convinced that Ivy was the sole reason she and Balfour weren’t together.
Dependent on Mara’s goodwill, Olivia knew she had to demonstrate her utility to stay in
her graces and wouldn’t bring up such matters unprompted.
“Getting rid of Ivy might be easier than you think. From what I’ve gathered, the shift in
their relationship only really happened in the past month or two,” Olivia said, trying to
sound analytical and important.
Mara leaned forward, intrigued despite her suspicions.
“Is that so? I want to hear all about it. Everything was fine when I first got back. But then
Balfour started giving me the cold shoulder, and it was all Ivy’s doing!”
