Scarlet Collins's life is flipped upside down after news of her divorce from her husband, Jack Humphrey, spreads around town. Despite her husband’s affairs being brought to light, Scarlet finds herself the topic of gossip as the town tries to find the answer to why Jack would leave the young heiress. 

Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed. Said to be a woman with a heart made of black ice, the people in town believed their opinions would not affect her so they had no reason to stop voicing them. 

During an afternoon out seeking peace, she finds herself starting an unlikely relationship with Lord Kingsley's bastard son, Ian Kingsley.

The Resilient Lady Collins

"Milady, please put down the knife before you find yourself hurt," Ivy said, taking a step back as Hank stood up to defend them.

Layla might be crazy but she didn't have it in her to march over here with a knife when Hank was in the way. It was worth coming back when Layla was still present as Ivy got to witness the soon-to-be former Mrs Kingsley losing her mind.

Layla did not go any further as she was hurt by Hank coming toward her to take the knife. "I gave you everything and you were never satisfied. You'll replace me with a maid? Do you think he'll be satisfied with you?" Layla questioned Ivy.

With how Hank was treating the woman he was married to for over twenty years, what did Ivy think awaited her?
