The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2312

"Grandpa, block Grandma from going in, I'll go."

Balfour frowned, making sure that the two old folks hadn't followed him up before he grabbed their flashlight and headed into the woods.

"Ivy—Ivy—"

As they started to argue over Ivy, Mara chuckled from her hidden spot, unseen by them.

It was about time Balfour realized that Ivy was nothing but trouble!

Ever since he got involved with her, Balfour was constantly cleaning up her messes. How could such a woman be his perfect match?

Ha, someday she would make those two old coots realize it too.

She smugly thought to herself, but then caught the sharp gaze of Alyssa.

Alyssa was not as easygoing as Ivy. She stepped forward, cutting through Mara's facade.

"Ms. Lewis, I suggest you consider leaving the Howard Mansion soon. We don't welcome schemers like you around here! If you don't want things to get ugly, you better take to heart what I told you the other afternoon."

Dean stood firmly behind Alyssa, silently supporting her stance.

Alyssa would prefer Mara to vanish from her sight altogether, even if that meant Balfour might visit her in her country a few times a year—it was better than having her constantly in their homeland.

Mara trembled with rage, partly from the cold, partly from genuine anger.

Why was the old bat so harsh?

What had she ever done to her?

Was she just that much of an eyesore?
