Chapter 328: Under Her Thumb

Ivy ran out of the neighborhood with red eyes. Now that Genevieve was no longer intervening, she had to rely on herself to resolve the situation. However, handling it alone was likely to be difficult, so she thought of someone and dialed their number, hearing a familiar voice on the other end of the line.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Montgomery? What made you think of calling me?" Since they had last collaborated three years ago to deal with Aurora, there had been no further contact between them.

"Is there something wrong with checking in on an ally with similar values?"

"Ally? Ha, Miss Montgomery, just say what you want to say directly. I'm not in the mood for guessing games."

Susan and Ivy weren't close; they had merely been aligned in their goals at the time.

"Let's find a place to sit down, have some tea, and chat," Ivy proposed, aware of Susan's cunning nature; after all, she wouldn't have stayed hidden at Aurora's side for so many years and then managed to take Hayden away.

But Hayden never loved her, and now that Aurora had returned, she was probably the one who should be worried. On this point, they could be allies once again.

Ivy had arrived early. Seeing her swollen eyes, Susan expressed surprise, "What happened to you? You look awful."

"It's all thanks to Aurora," Ivy said through gritted teeth.

Susan had already guessed why Ivy had asked to meet today, and their interests aligned quickly.

"It seems we are on the same side again," they agreed in unison.

"This time, I want her down for good!" Ivy stated emphatically.

"Exactly my thoughts."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.
