Chapter 1258

"Because you didn't try hard enough," Mrs. Shelby grabbed Ivy by her chin, stared into her eyes furiously, and seethed, "all you do is apologize and claim that you’ve given your best, but have you really? I've gone through hoops and secured an opportunity for you to have Joe's child, I forced him to go visit your parent's graveyard with you, and even got the musical show tickets for you. And what did you do? You handed over those opportunities on a silver plate and gave it to Meredith Leighton."

"Don't you dare to put all the blame on Joe!" Mrs. Shelby put her off again and went on, "If I were you, I'd have found a chance and gotten rid of Meredith. By then, Joe would have no choice but to marry you, wouldn't it?"
