Chapter 2547
"Seriously, why are you even calling me? Who gave you the green light to pester me with this? Is
this another sales pitch? Because I'm telling you, I'm not in the market for a car or a house, and I
don't have kids, so fuck off!â
After unleashing this tirade, Clara hung up with a huff, leaving Leo staring blankly at his phone.
âWhat the heck?â
He exchanged a puzzled look with his assistant, not expecting Clara to have such a fiery temper.
But they needed to get through to her to confirm some details, so Leo steeled himself and redialed.
This time, though, his own temper was starting to flare up; it had been ages since he had been on
the receiving end of such an earful.
âIs this Ms. Clara Dunhill I'm speaking to? Please, don't hang up. I've got some important
information to discuss with you.â
âCan't you just spit it out in one go? What do you want? I'll have you know my time is precious,
okay?"
Leo took a deep breath and continued, âOur firm is preparing to file a lawsuit against you for
your reckless defamation of our client online, causing severe damage to her reputation. You will
receive a court summons at your address within five days. This is your official notice.â
After delivering the message, Leo hung up before Clara could ask any questions, cutting the call
short and crisp.
"What? Are you making threats now?!â Clara panicked, shooting up from the bed.
But the call was already disconnected, and all she got was the annoying busy signal from her
phone.
"Who the hell was that? And why are they suing me? When have I ever bad-mouthed anyone
online?â
As soon as she said it, she remembered that, recently, Ivy was the only person she had
crossed!
Without a second thought, she knew it had to be her, that woman unwilling to let bygones be
bygones.
Clara snorted disdainfully, pacing by the bed. âHa, I was ready to let you off the hook, but now you
want to play dirty and get a lawyer involved? A snake, just like her mother. You

show no mercy; don't expect any in return. I will make sure you pay.â
She didn't bother reaching out to Leo again.
She had anticipated this moment ever since her rant went live online. Even if Ivy didn't come after
her, Balfour would not just stand by and watch his woman get slandered.
Clara no longer cared about any of that. She was jobless, hopeless, with nothing left to
lose â what more was there to fear?
All she wanted was to drag that woman down with her before she hit rock bottom herself.
So she dialed a number.
âHey, is everything set on your end? It's time to make a move.â
There was hesitation on the other end of the line before the person said, âAre you sure you want to
go through with this now? His familyâs had a crisis; heâs bound to have a bunch of bodyguards
around.â
Clara clicked her tongue in irritation. âArent you chummy with that guy? Can't you even manage to
lure him away from her for a minute or two? If you can't even do that much, what good are you to
me as a partner?â
