Wayne's brow furrowed as he looked again at Hilaria, whose expression was equally stern.
Hilaria gave him a nod, indicating Ivy was right.
The rules of this house were decided by Rosalynn. No matter how pissed off Wayne was, he had to respect them.
The woman watching the scene cracked a satisfied smile, "Ivy sure got a mind of her own, not like my girl Alison, who's gotta ask me and her dad about everything!"
Ivy replied, "Really? I don't know if I have a mind of my own, maybe it's just my mom who did a good job raising me?"
The woman's smile froze on her face.
Was Ivy implying that Alison's lack of independence was due to her poor parenting?
"You just said I should talk to the teacher about not wanting to be the lead singer..."
"Right!" Seeing the conversation going back to the starting point, the woman quickly nodded.
However, Ivy firmly shook her head, "My mom said kids shouldn't lie. I really want to be the lead singer and I've worked hard for it..."
The woman immediately interrupted Ivy, "Ivy, being the lead singer is so easy for you, something you can get without a sweat, but for Alison, it's a rare chance to boost her CV. Can you help her this time?"
"No." Ivy refused firmly, "The chance to be the lead singer was up for grabs in a competition among all the classmates. I earned it and I won't give it to anyone!"
Although Ivy was young, when she got serious, she exuded a strong aura.
The woman looked at Hilaria. She had Alison when she was in college.
After graduation, she stayed at home to care for her child and never worked, so she certainly didn't know Hilaria.
"We don't have any responsibility to help people like you. My Ivy earns money by auctioning her own paintings, plus pocket money from adults. She's already done a lot of good deeds. She doesn't need to help your daughter." Hilaria said, waving her hand dismissively.
She really shouldn't have let such a crazy woman come in the first place!
That woman was totally ruining Ivy's good mood.
Seeing this, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward and gestured for the woman to leave.
