Chapter 13

Ivy's eyes rolled as she contemplated the chaos that had erupted over their family. A mischievous glint flickered in her eyes as she formulated a plan, one that could potentially turn the tables in her family's favor.

"Mom," she began, her voice dripping with calculated determination, "I've been thinking about how we can handle this situation."

Tiningnan ni Reniella si Ivy na may halong pagtataka at pag-iingat. "Ipaliwanag mo nga," aniya.

Ivy's lips curled into a sly grin as she laid out her proposal. "What if we were to... strategically involve the media? Puwede nating palabasin na biktima tayo rito at totoong may affair sina Rosie at Seymour Villafuerte. That way, even if they try to sue us, we won't have to pay a penny. And we could even demand compensation from the Villafuerte for the damage to our reputation."

Tumaas ang kilay ng kanyang ina sa pagkabigla sa kapalaluan ng ideya niya. "Pero hindi ba't masisira rin ang ating reputasyon?"

Binalewala ni Ivy ang sinabi ng kanyang ina.
