The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2566

“In a society governed by law, I can’t lay a finger on you indeed. But your words have been duly noted, and you can bet your bottom dollar that you’ll be spending the rest of your life behind bars.”

“What do you mean? Ivy’s fine, isn’t she? What gives you the right to lock me up for life?”

Clara, who had previously been blustering about going down with Ivy if it came to that, suddenly found her legs turning to jelly at the prospect of actually being imprisoned.

She had years of good times ahead of her-there was no way she was going to that

hellish cell!

“You’ve already admitted that you orchestrated the whole thing single-handedly. There’s nothing left to argue about. My lawyer will take care of the rest.”

Balfour didn’t even deign to give her a second glance, leaving Clara wailing and desperately clutching at his legs, “Wait, I don’t want to go to jail. I’m only twenty-five, I can’t go back in there!”

Oh, she’s twenty-five, is she? How about Ivy?

Ivy’s even younger. Did Clara ever spare a thought for Ivy when she was busy plotting her downfall, that Ivy was barely in her early twenties?

Balfour’s heart was as hard as stone at that moment. Anyone who had hurt Ivy was beyond redemption in his eyes. She was his soft spot, his one and only red line.
