Chapter 191

"Don't flare up without hearing me out," Aunt May said, moving closer.

But it was too late. Ivy's annoyance had already turned into anger, and she couldn't hide it. "Hear you out? What is there to explain?"

"When you get like this, it's hard to understand anything," May replied. Then she turned to Rita and Wills. "Go back inside until I finish speaking with her

Ivy sighed. "Fine. I'm all ears."

"I'm telling you the truth."

"And I shouldn't believe my own eyes or my own daughter?"

Ivy blinked, disbelief coursing through her as she took a step back. "What do you mean by that?"

May stood as well, her expression firm. "I mean you should try to understand where we're coming from."

"There's nothing to understand, Aunt May," Ivy said, struggling to control her anger. "He lied and cheated. He was a married man."
