No sooner had Ivy Kensington just opened the door than a man dressed in a black jacket, wearing a cap that covered him entirely from head to toe, appeared at the doorstep!
Ivy Kensington’s nerves tightened, and her first reaction was to shut the door.
However, the man had anticipated her move, blocked it with his leg, and swiftly forced his way in.
Ivy Kensington’s gaze darkened—this man was well-trained!
She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed for emergency help, then rushed toward the bedroom.
The intruder was faster, grabbing her by the hair, forcing her to fall onto the sofa.
She struggled, using her self-defense skills to fight back.
A sharp sound echoed; the man had pulled out a knife!
Ivy Kensington looked up, using the blade’s sheen to see his sinister eyes, filled with intense hatred towards her!
Yet, she didn’t even know him!
"You wretch, it’s because you opposed and framed my goddess that you must pay the price now!"
The intruder spoke, his voice extremely hoarse and grating.
Ivy Kensington barely had time to react before she fainted.
At this moment, at Blackwood Group.
Sebastian Blackwood hadn’t returned to Blackwood Manor for three consecutive days, spending days and nights at the Group. With the big boss not taking a break, the staff underneath wouldn’t dare slack off either.
The most miserable person was Owen Rhodes. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI~Fire.net
As Sebastian’s special assistant, he was practically with him 24/7. Since Sebastian hadn’t slept in these days, Owen Rhodes was forced to stay awake until dawn!
This money is hard to earn; it’s almost exchanging life for it!
Just as Owen Rhodes was thinking of possibly finding an excuse for Sebastian to rest, a call came in from Blackwood Manor.
"Uncle Owen, please give the phone to Daddy."
It was Ronnie’s voice.
The little girl sounded as if she’d been crying, her voice hoarse and pitiful.
Owen Rhodes was startled, and without caring about interrupting the ongoing meeting, he rushed in.
He shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in the conference room.
Could Special Assistant Rhodes be coming to save them?
Lately, they felt exhausted to death from being overworked...
However, Sebastian Blackwood’s gaze was extremely displeased, "Owen Rhodes, you’re getting less disciplined."
Owen Rhodes nearly went weak in the legs from the admonishment, but thinking of Ronnie, he bravely replied, "Master Blackwood, the call is from Ronnie, she insists on speaking with you! Ronnie sounds like she’s been crying!"
Bringing up Ronnie, Sebastian’s previously stern and unyielding expression finally softened.
Exhaling a breath of frustration, the man stood up and casually dismissed, "Meeting adjourned."
He then walked out to take Ronnie’s call.
Seeing Sebastian’s tall figure disappearing from the conference room, only then did the crowd dare to wipe their brows, admiring Owen Rhodes for being a worthy special assistant.
"Special Assistant Rhodes, you are a hero! Thank you for saving us..."
If he hadn’t come, Master Blackwood’s recent volatility was driving them mad.
Owen Rhodes chuckled bitterly; ah, who can understand the suffering within his heart.
Outside the conference room.
Sebastian received the call from Ronnie, his cold tone softened slightly, "Miss Daddy?"
After all, it has been days since he’d been home; perhaps the little girl missed him.
Ronnie responded with an angry huff, "Mommy has moved out, yet you still haven’t come back, Daddy. You’re honestly the stupidest person I’ve ever seen!"
He couldn’t even make his wife happy!
