The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2190

Ivy lounged on the couch for a little while, her thoughts darting from one angle to the next. She was convinced that this issue needed to be nipped in the bud, and fast.

At the very least, they had to put on a united front publicly. They couldn’t let the rumors spiral out of control.

If it were just Ivy on her own, perhaps it wouldn’t matter.

But she was, in name at least, the granddaughter-in-law of the prestigious Howard family. She couldn’t afford to be so selfish, only considering her own interests and those of the production crew, without sparing a thought for Dean and Alyssa’s reputation.

With this in mind, Ivy stood up resolutely and decided to go directly to Ryan to discuss the matter.

All they needed to do was each post a message online showing that the idea of them being a couple was out of the question.

Clarifying the situation might sound simple, but they had to be careful not to bluntly hurt the feelings of their ‘ship’ fans. After all, those fans were the lifeblood of their celebrity, and they couldn’t afford to let them down.

There was a knock on Ivy’s door.
