Chapter 2437
Balfour mused thoughtfully, “Since we’ve nearly wrapped up this investigation, do me a favor while you’re at it, will you?”
Leo was taken aback. Their boss, Balfour, was usually strictly business and rarel them for personal favors. His curiosity was piqued – what could the boss pos his help with?
But when he heard it was about Ms. Dunhill again, Leo couldn’t help but think tha must really be the apple of Balfour’s eye.

“You won’t be doing this for nothing. I need you to dig into how Clara got herself out. And remember, keep it low-key with anything related to the Dunhill family. Just bring your findings straight to me.”
Balfour worried that making too much noise could spook someone, and if his
grandmother got wind of it, she’d surely create a scene at the Dunhills’ doorstep, which would only make things worse for Ivy.
After hanging up, Balfour lingered on the balcony a moment longer before turning back to Ivy’s side. Seeing her furrowed brow even in sleep made his heart clench.
“Are you this troubled because you can’t let go of those people?”
Balfour knew Ivy was all heart and loyalty. Despite having been ignored by her family for years, she found it hard to completely sever ties.
She might say they didn’t deserve her, but deep down, she hoped for a sliver of their affection.
And that wasn’t her fault. Who could truly abandon the notion of parental love?
A3 Balfour wanted was for his presence to bring Ivy some happiness and to keep her from cry over people who weren’t worth her tears.
YoYour eyes are swollen from crying.”

Finn shot her a glance over the newspaper, “If Ivy hadn’t made such a mess online, Clara wouldn’t have had to step in with her statements. Lately, everyone who knew our family is asking about Ivy, and it’s embarrassing to even speak of it. It’s all because of your precious daughter; she’s dragged the Dunhill name through the mud!”
Tessa was already irked. Finn was hardly ever home, leaving her and Clara, his daughter from a previous marriage, alone. She always had to play second fiddle to Cla

She had been holding in her frustrations for too long.
“So now it’s all my fault, is it? Did I make her on my own? How come her turning ou way is just my mistake? And you talk about losing face for the Dunhills. What face doe the Dunhill family even have left? The Dunhills of today are nothing like your grandfather’s era. Wake up and stop living in the past glory!”
Finn detested being reminded that the Dunhill family’s decline was on his watch. Many knew it, yet he refused to admit it.
And now Tessa, his wife of so many years, had ripped off that band-aid and spoke the truth he was loath to acknowledge.
He slammed the newspaper down on the coffee table with a thud, “What do you mean by
that?”
