"The thing you told me about last time, is it true?"
Mayor Crowley asked seriously.
Claire Crowley’s small face turned slightly red. What Mayor Crowley referred to was precisely yesterday’s hotel incident.
"Dad, do you think I would lie to you about something ?"
Mayor Crowley nodded meaningfully at her words: "If that’s the case, Dad will definitely make Master Blackwood take responsibility for you."
His daughter from the Crowley family wouldn’t be taken advantage of for nothing, even if it was Sebastian Blackwood.
Claire’s eyes flickered slightly.
The reason she told Mayor Crowley about this was just that; if Sebastian Blackwood wouldn’t admit it, then she would have to rely on external push.
She had made up her mind to pursue Sebastian Blackwood; she was truly moved by this man!
"Alright, Dad, I’ll do as you say."
Claire pretended to be shy and lowered her head.
Julian Hawthorne and Miles Pierce also arrived at Pinewood Manor.
The two sat in a guest lounge on the second floor banquet hall, with several bottles of fine red wine arrayed on the table in front of them, sipping leisurely.
"Why do you think Brother Blackwood brought Ivy Kensington to this kind of scene?"
Miles replied, "What other reason could there be? Of course, he doesn’t want her to disappear from his sight, wants to keep her close."
"Makes sense!" Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
Julian laughed, clinking glasses with him, "Old Miles, you really understand Brother Blackwood. He talks about wanting to finish her off, yet his actions are more honest than anyone’s."
Sebastian Blackwood sat across from the two, pulling his lips slightly with a blank expression.
"Tsk, can’t even talk about it, huh?"
Julian grumbled mockingly.
Just then—"Oh my, I’m really sorry."
From the dessert area in the distance, Sophie Sullivan’s sharp voice rang out, catching Julian’s attention instinctively.
He saw Sophie holding a drink, which, as luck would have it, spilled onto Ivy Kensington.
Sophie exaggeratedly said, "I’m really sorry, Ivy, I didn’t mean to."
The weather in Veridia had grown warm, and Ivy was merely wearing a simple white shirt.
When the drink spilled, her silhouette quickly became apparent through her clothes.
Needless to say, Ivy had a great figure; it wasn’t very noticeable when she was clothed, but now, her wet shirt clung to her body, revealing every outline.
Sophie nearly turned green with envy; this shameless woman was seducing people again!
Next to them, Deputy Director Fu gently pushed his glasses up his nose, handing over a tissue gentlemanly.
"Here, miss, you can wipe yourself with this."
Ivy accepted, "Thank you."
She then hastily began wiping herself, yet it was futile, so she simply dropped it, casting her gaze at Sophie.
What exactly was this Sophie trying to achieve?
Sophie, seeing Ivy look at her, felt a bit guilty but still said, "I’m really sorry, but I’ve been to Pinewood Manor a few times and have some spare clothes. Why don’t you use them?"
After all, wearing wet clothes on your body isn’t comfortable.
Ivy narrowed her eyes slightly. Could this Sophie be so kind-hearted?
Seeing Ivy’s silence, Sophie waved her hands helplessly, "Ivy, I’m really sorry. The incident from last time is over, I haven’t blamed you for a long time, I agreed to that bet myself, losing was just my lack of ability."
As she spoke, she looked apologetically at the juice accidentally spilled on Ivy’s clothes, and with guilt said, "How about you pour a drink back on me, so I can feel better too?"
Ivy said, "Just take me to change clothes."
