In the back of her mind, she hoped that it wasn't just wishful thinking.

"Yes, got it. I won't waste food."

"Alright, good girl."

Just by looking at Brian's choice of words, she could imagine his doting smile.

With a subtle snicker, she put away her phone and began to eat.

For the sake of the baby in her belly, she had to eat more and make sure that both of them would be healthy.

Meanwhile.

As soon as Ivy returned home, she threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of her daughter, Renata was heartbroken.

"Ivy, what's the matter? What happened? Did someone make things difficult you?"

"Yes! The c-crew... T-Tilda!"

Ivy was crying so hard that she had a hard time breathing. She also wanted to speak but her words were choked by her sobs.

Renata comforted her in a soft voice and turned to the assistant who came in with Ivy.

“Do you know what happened? Did someone dare upset her on her first day with the crew?"

Breathing deeply, the assistant told in detail what had happened earlier today.

Hearing the whole story, Renata couldn't help but be furious.

"That Tilda! How dare she make things difficult for my daughter? Ivy, stop crying. I'm calling your father to make him resolve this issue as soon as possible. You are not to be treated this way!"

Still sobbing and with trembling hands, Ivy took the tissue handed to her by her assistant. She absentmindedly wiped her tears away as she focused on Renata, who was about to make the call.

Renata dialed Wilton's number and he picked up on the first ring.

Without greeting him, she coldly asked, "Wilson, do you have any idea what Ivy just went through on her first day on set as part of the crew?"
