If it were Clara, she would also feel possessive over someone she truly loved.

However, she would never go as far as hurting others just to win a man, unlike Ivy. Still, Clara understood something very clearly-love couldn't be shared.

She loved Wren and wanted to be the only one in his heart. That was why she could somewhat understand why Ivy couldn't tolerate her presence.

No matter what Ivy was trying to gain from Wren, there was at least a bit of genuine affection mixed in with her act.

Even if Wren claimed it had all been an act during his time with Ivy, Clara knew it was hard to draw a clear line. People often developed real feelings while pretending, and she couldn't be sure he hadn't felt anything at all.
