Justin Rhodes directly wrapped his arm around Ivy Kensington’s shoulder.
Ivy’s body trembled, but she couldn’t find the words to argue.
Sebastian Blackwood’s dark eyes deepened, "Girlfriend?"
"Yes," Justin nodded, opening the car door and preparing to take Ivy into the car, "I’m planning to take Ivy to the estate to see Great-Grandma, Uncle, just take us out of the manor."
Sebastian observed Ivy as she remained silent, clearly admitting to it, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart.
He let out a cold laugh, "Fine, I’m also going to the estate."
As soon as Ivy got in the car, she felt the man’s extremely cold aura, completely conveying his dissatisfaction with her.
Ivy thought secretly, if she had a choice, she wouldn’t want to be in his car! Arrogant man...
"Uncle, I’m telling you, Ivy is a great girl, I liked her from the moment I first saw her."
Throughout the journey, Justin continuously spoke highly of Ivy.
Making Ivy’s face flush, "Stop saying that."
Justin laughed and held her hand tighter, "Is Ivy shy?"
Sebastian’s indifferent eyes fell on their clasped hands, coldly harrumphing in his heart.
Ha, this woman, deliberately pretending to be Dahlia in the kitchen last night to seduce him, and this morning making his only nephew so devoted to her, plus that hotel incident, Sebastian doesn’t believe that Ivy is someone without any ulterior motives!
He mocked, "Zev, don’t be deceived by some people’s appearances."
Ivy’s face darkened, he was being sarcastic about her.
Clenching her fists, Ivy couldn’t help but retort, "At least better than those who badmouth others to their face."
Seeing the tension between the two growing stronger, Justin was puzzled. How come Uncle was targeting Ivy out of nowhere? The source of this content ɪs novel·fire.net
Luckily, they arrived at the Blackwood Estate at that moment.
Justin got out of the car first, while Ivy was stopped by Sebastian, "Stay put."
"Stay away from Zev. If I see you with Zev again, I won’t let you off."
Sebastian’s voice carried a hidden warning.
Ivy pressed her lips tightly, speaking stubbornly, "Then wait for Mr. Blackwood to see it."
Then, she followed closely behind Justin. It was a hard-earned opportunity to visit the Blackwood Estate, and Ivy didn’t want to waste it because of Sebastian.
The Blackwood Estate.
Due to Old Madam Blackwood’s sudden paralysis, the entire estate was steeped in a deathly silence.
When Justin brought Ivy in, there were only a few servants bustling about.
"Where’s Great-Grandma?"
Justin called out, and the estate’s butler immediately came over upon hearing the voice, "Young Master Justin is here. The old madam is upstairs having a check-up, and Second Uncle Blackwood is taking care of her."
Second Uncle Blackwood?
Ivy’s expression tensed.
That was the man who came to take away Ronnie!
Sebastian also approached at this time, and the old butler bent even lower, "Master Blackwood is also here."
Sebastian responded with a cold hum.
Soon, Second Uncle Blackwood came downstairs as well.
He was of Sebastian’s father’s generation, but not a legitimate bloodline of the Blackwood family, more like an illegitimate child of Old Master Blackwood, someone who had always dealt with less honorable matters over the years, yet remained loyal to the Blackwood family.
In essence, Second Uncle Blackwood should address Sebastian as nephew, but due to his status, he’s not qualified, and can only respectfully address him as Master Blackwood like others.
"How’s Great-Grandma?"
Justin asked directly.
Second Uncle Blackwood shook his head worryingly, "Not very good, the doctor said if she doesn’t wake up soon, the situation will become dangerous."
At this moment, he did not recognize Ivy.
Ivy looked at him, wishing she could rush up and ask where Ronnie was, but not understanding the situation, she had to temporarily hold back.
Second Uncle Blackwood continued, "I also ask Master Blackwood to summon the most esteemed individuals of the Blackwood family, as I’ve caught the person related to framing the old madam."
Ivy instantly understood, he was talking about Ronnie!
