Chapter 2628
Olivia nodded somberly, the weight of her words as heavy as the air in the room. “I know | don’t have enough proof right now, but
I’ve lived with her for years. Sooner or later, she'll slip up; she'll leave a trail.”
Balfour found the whole thing absurd. To commit fratricide for what she deemed love was beyond his comprehension! Yet as
Olivia laid out the evidence before him, those peculiar details from the past began to resurface in his mind.novelbin
“That’s why | need to tell you, Balfour, she’s dangerous, incredibly so. Ivy’s kidnapping had to be her doing. | even suspect that
Alyssa’s fall down the stairs wasn’t an accident at all!”
Balfour closed his eyes briefly.
From the moment Olivia decided to lay it all out, she knew where her loyalties lay. Choosing between Balfour and Mara was a
no-brainer for anyone with half a brain.
After making arrangements, Balfour left the house in a rush, quickly getting into his car and driving back to the hospital. He
couldn’t stop worrying about Ivy. If Mara was as vengeful as Olivia described, he was certain she would come back to finish what

His heart lifted at the sight of two guards stationed by Ivy's room, a sign that she was safe.

“Balfour's here, honey,” he choked out.
“Grandma!” Balfour knelt on one knee by her bed.
Alyssa stroked his head with her weathered hands. “Oh dear, such a big man and still so sentimental. I’m alright, aren’t I? | know
these past days have been hard on you. How’s lvy? | heard there was a bit of a mishap.”
Dean had refrained from telling her everything, fearing it would be too much for her just after waking up, merely mentioning that
Ivy had a small accident.
Balfour, understanding Dean's
concerns, managed a smile. “Don’t

“You've figured it out, haven’t you?”
Balfour nodded. “I only learned today

Alyssa, seeing Balfour's anger,
sensed there was more to the story.
She wanted to press further, but her

Balfour stood to leave, assuring her
that Dean would take care of her.

“Grandpa, you take good care of Grandma. Leave the rest to me.”
Dean nodded, waving Balfour off with a gesture that said, ‘Go, I’ve got this.’
