Unexpectedly, Sebastian Blackwood let out a soft laugh, a laugh full of blatant mockery.
The crisp sound of a wine glass being placed on the marble table echoed.
He said coldly, "Being re-elected as mayor sounds glorious."
Mayor Crowley’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly having a bad premonition.
"That mayor’s seat must have cost a lot, I suppose."
In a lazy, low voice, Sebastian sounded as if he was discussing a completely ordinary matter. Yet this sentence caused Mayor Crowley to break out in a cold sweat!
"Master Blackwood, what do you mean..."
He spoke, trembling with fear.
But Sebastian didn’t even glance at him, instead casually conversing with Julian Hawthorne, "The inspection team will be here in the next couple of days."
The mayor’s face changed dramatically; how could he not know about this!
Julian Hawthorne stroked his chin and nodded, "That should be it. Brother Blackwood, your information is always accurate. Even if they weren’t planning to come, your word alone would have them sending people."
Which meant, if Sebastian wanted, even this hard-won re-election wasn’t something that Mayor Crowley could securely hold! The source of this content ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net
In just that short moment, Mayor Crowley was scared into a cold sweat.
He had been careless!
To even dare compare himself with Sebastian Blackwood! Even though there were rumors about his questionable bloodline, his innate power allowed no outsider to doubt him!
"Master Blackwood, I... I was wrong."
Mayor Crowley immediately begged for mercy, "Regarding Claire, please handle it as you see fit. Whatever you decide, our Crowley family will have no complaints."
After speaking, he pulled Claire Crowley’s hand, intending to leave.
Claire bit her lip stubbornly.
Unexpectedly, even her father couldn’t succeed here. What should she do now...
A crisp sound came from her phone—an incoming message from Sophie Sullivan: [Claire, Ivy Kensington slept with Director Fu!]
She then sent over a photo.
In it, Ivy Kensington lay on the large white bed, appearing to be in a deep sleep.
Claire’s eyes flashed with excitement; Sophie Sullivan finally did something right!
The next second, she covered her mouth in feigned shock and exclaimed, "Oh my god, how could Ivy Kensington do such a thing!"
After saying this, she intentionally tossed the phone, landing it right in front of Sebastian Blackwood.
On the screen was the photo of Ivy Kensington asleep.
Both Julian Hawthorne and Miles Pierce saw it, raising their eyebrows.
Clearly, Ivy Kensington had been set up!
Sebastian’s eyes darkened, and he stood up with wide strides, glaring sharply at Claire, "What’s going on?"
Claire replied innocently, "I don’t know, it was Sophie Sullivan who sent me the information, saying Ivy Kensington slept with Director Fu, in room 355."
Ivy Kensington opened her eyes, finding herself on an unfamiliar large bed.
She blinked slightly.
A minute later, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
Claire Crowley came in with people, "Ivy, you have no shame, daring to seduce Director Fu in this political residence. I’m going to report you to the authorities!"
Claire spoke righteously, then opened her phone to prepare to make a report.
Ivy looked at her puzzled, "Miss Crowley, what are you going to report me for? I’m just here to change my clothes."
With that, she got up and brushed off the white T-shirt she had just put on.
Claire’s face stiffened; wait a moment... where’s Director Fu?
As she was thinking, another conversation was overheard.
"Director Fu, you must strive to climb up, it’s best if you push that bitch Claire’s mayor father off his position!"
