Chapter 2479

Ivy and Balfour were the epitome of understatement in their attire, both hiding behind dark sunglasses that shielded their eyes from the prying world.

With Balfour’s towering presence as a barrier, Ivy found refuge directly behind him, almost as if she were a whisper of a shadow.

“Mr. Howard, Mr. Howard! Are you escorting Ivy to meet her future mother-in-law?” one journalist called out.

“Mr. Howard, by making a joint appearance, are you both confirming the rumors of your relationship?” another asked, thrusting a microphone toward them.
