The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2376

“Balfour, do you have any idea what kind of woman Ivy is? She’s a different person when she’s with you than when she’s with me. I know you might not believe me, but look at these wounds; they’re proof enough. I didn’t do this to myself, Balfour. You can confront her about it if you want!”
