Chapter 24
Silas felt Ivy stiffen in his arms as she faced the newcomers. Throughout dinner and their walk out of Whitney's, she had been smiling. happy. Now, in the presence of these strangers, her smile had vanished.
"I can't believe it, the woman said, moving closer. Her eyes scanned Ivy with open disdain. "When Paige told us about your new job, I doubted her. But seeing you here, dressed like this..." She shook her head. "You look like a slut."
Silas's brow arched. What was she talking about?
Ivy moved out of his embrace, her shoulders squared as she faced the woman. "Be careful with your next words," she said with a low
voice.
"Oh, Ivy." The man stepped forward, pushing the woman behind him. "Since when did you grow wings? What gives you the audacity to speak to my wife like that?"
Silas had no idea who they were, but he wasn't going to stand there and do nothing. He moved forward, his hand locked onto Ivy's.
"If I were you," Silas said coldly, "I'd leave while you can."
The man's eyes fluttered with recognition, quickly followed by fear. He took a step back. The woman, however, surged forward, her mouth twisting into an ugly
sneer.
"Mr. Stone, don't believe a word she tells you. She's nothing but a lying, good- for-nothing-"
"That's enough." Silas's tone was sharp. "I wouldn't have you speak to my-"But before he could say more, Ivy turned to him, her green eyes shimmering with emotion.
"Let's get out of here," she murmured, interrupting him.
He hesitated, anger simmering inside him, but Ivy tugged on his hand insistently, "Let's go." Ivy said, pulling him towards the car.
The man shouted after them. "You're a disgrace, Ivy! You've gone from being a reputable woman to a cheap slut. I've rescinded my offer. If you're going to tarnish my name and hoe around, I'll have nothing to do with you."
Silas's brow furrowed in thought as he pieced the situation together. His lips tightened, his expression hardening. "Is that... Mason
Hunter?"
Ivy ignored his question, tugging him towards the car. "Forget it. They're not worth it."
Anger surged in Silas's chest, and he made a move to leave the car, but Ivy stopped him with her small hand.
"Let's just go home. You don't want to make a scene-you have reporters around," she cautioned, looking suddenly exhausted.
Silas clenched his fists, leaning into the Bentley seat. He badly wanted to
