Of all people, it had to be those two.

Ivy thought of how her marriage was ruined by Tilda. Fury rushed through her.

“Dad, can you believe that? First, Tilda destroyed my marriage, and now she's out to sabotage my career. She clearly targeting me. Aren't you just going to let this go?"

Her complaints caused Wilton's brows to furrow. “Ivy, you're an excellent dancer, and you're majoring in it. Why are you so bent on pursuing acting? If you don't want the role, you can refuse. You don't have to join the cast."

Hearing this, Ivy couldn't help but blurt out angrily, "I can't accept that! Dad, my reputation was already ruined, thanks to Tilda.

I have no other choice but to accomplish something to make everyone look up at me again! That's why being an actress is the fastest and easiest way. I can be famous as soon as possible! This is my opportunity to restore my reputation! Don't you see that?"

However, Wilton seemed to disagree. “Ivy, different professions have their own rules. You don't even have a background in acting. How are you so sure that you can easily be a famous actress? It won't be as effortless as you may have anticipated. If you want to restore your reputation, why don't you do what you're good at? Dance well and perform on a bigger stage so that more people will know you. Isn't that the sensible thing to do?"

Ivy retorted, "Dad, you don't understand. No matter how well I dance, my popularity won't go as high compared to when I became a successful actress! Tell me this. How many of those famous actresses do you know are really skillful and excellent? They were only getting projects and advertisements either because of their strong backers, or they were spending money themselves. As long as the companies behind them get their fill, they don't care if the actresses under them are actually good or not!"

Wilton got her point, but he still didn't want to agree.

Renata, who had been silent all the time, chimed in, “Wilton, since this is what she wants, why don't you just let her do it? Are you going to hurt Ivy's feelings and deprive her of an opportunity just because Tilda is against it? Don't you want her to be able to restore her reputation? I think you are being unfair."

Wilton glanced at her with a cold snort and said unhappily, "Renata, for so many years, I've only been partial to Ivy. Don't you realize that?"

Renata responded, “Really? Tilda destroyed Ivy's marriage. But did you ever blame Tilda for it? Is that what you call being partial to Ivy? Although they are not from the same mother, the blood of the Larson family flows in their veins. But Tilda hates Ivy so much that she makes her look like a joke in the upper class of Skrix. After being involved in such a mess, no wealthy families will be willing to accept Ivy in the future unless she redeems herself in a grand way!"

Her words just made Wilton's face darken even more.

Before he could say anything, Ivy added, “That's exactly what I am talking about! Dad, do you know that even lowly commoners dishonor me so casually now? I have suffered so much grievance, and you won't even get justice for me!"

The two echoed with each other, ganging up on Wilton.

"That's enough. Yes, Tilda was responsible for what happened to Ivy.

I will talk to her. But Ivy, you should also reflect on what you did, Why would you be manipulated by others and do such an indecent thing?"

Ivy choked with sobs. “I... I..."

“Ivy only did that for our family."

Renata butted in, "Wilton, you only have two daughters. Sooner or later, you will have to hand the family business to them. If Lyndon becomes your son-in-law, we will eventually have the support of the Fernandez family. If that happens, you won't have to worry about anything. He and Ivy will inherit the business that you've established with blood and sweat, and they will make it much stronger in the future."
