The next day, a piece of news exploded on the internet.
#Claire Crowley and Master Blackwood are getting married soon! Shotgun wedding!#
No one knows which marketing account released the news, but once uploaded, the entire internet was abuzz.
Everyone is speculating: "Claire Crowley’s workload has reduced a lot. I really think the probability of her being pregnant is very high."
"Right, wasn’t there a paparazzi photo before of Claire Crowley being sent to the hospital?"
"Shotgun wedding, Claire Crowley is pretty impressive, she actually managed to sleep with Master Blackwood."
No matter how noisy the news was online, Mayor Crowley indeed received the eight-character note specially sent by Old Madam Blackwood.
This was to calculate the compatibility of Claire Crowley and Sebastian Blackwood’s eight characters; their compatibility indicated the wedding was almost a sure thing.
"Madam, it’s really kind of you to make the trip."
Old Madam Blackwood’s arrival nearly made Mayor Crowley smile until his face cracked.
His daughter really made him proud!
She got pregnant with Master Blackwood’s child in one fell swoop, now her status is elevated through her son, the Crowley family has definitely hooked onto this century-old elite family in Celestia.
Later, when he goes out, who wouldn’t respectfully call him Master Blackwood’s father-in-law?
Old Madam Blackwood smiled and said, "It’s all thanks to you for raising Claire into such a good daughter. Once Claire is three months pregnant, and the fetal image is stable, this matter can be made public."
There’s a saying in the entertainment circle, you can’t announce pregnancy news until three months in, or it might bring bad luck to the child in the womb.
Mayor Crowley naturally understood this and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, during these three months, Claire will definitely take good care of the pregnancy."
After the conversation, Old Madam Blackwood left, and Claire Crowley returned.
When Mayor Crowley saw her, his smile widened, and he immediately instructed the family servants, "Didn’t you see Claire is back? Hurry and support Claire. If she falls or hits something, you’ll all be done for!"
After all, the child in Claire Crowley’s belly is the precious great-grandchild of the Blackwood family.
Claire Crowley frowned and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
She returned today to take the Blood Lotus.
Upon hearing about the Blood Lotus, Mayor Crowley’s expression immediately changed.
"Nonsense! Who told you to talk about the Blood Lotus outside?"
Apart from the monetary value of the Blood Lotus, Mayor Crowley’s more important plan was waiting for himself to use it when he gets old and health issues arise; after all, who doesn’t want to live a little longer? Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel~fire~net
Claire Crowley guessed he would react this way and said helplessly, "Dad, do you think I want to hand over the Blood Lotus? I don’t! But I’m left with no choice..."
If not given, that bitch Ivy Kensington might say something to Sebastian Blackwood, then the child couldn’t be kept, and she would lose her influence with Old Madam Blackwood, entering the Blackwood family wouldn’t be so easy...
Upon hearing this reasoning, Mayor Crowley frowned in displeasure.
"Unexpectedly, this Ivy Kensington is indeed a troublesome figure."
"How about giving her a fake Blood Lotus?"
After a while, Mayor Crowley thought of an idea.
Claire Crowley immediately vetoed it: "No way."
Ivy Kensington is an expert in the herb industry herself, let alone that she is Master Gard’s disciple. Giving her a fake Blood Lotus, she would definitely recognize it.
A fierce glint flowed from Mayor Crowley’s eyes, "Then we’ll kill her and dispose of the goods!"
Claire Crowley was stunned, didn’t expect Mayor Crowley to be so bold!
