Chapter 524: Chapter 524: The Deal Between Claire Crowley and Ethan Ford
"Mmm... Let me go. I’ll give you whatever you want—money, power, anything you desire, I can satisfy you..."
Claire Crowley was truly frightened, sweat streaming down her forehead, her damp bangs clinging together, looking utterly disheveled.
Could it be that bitch Ivy Kensington wants to take revenge and has hired someone to kidnap her...
The more she thought about it, the more scared Claire became, her whole body uncontrollably trembling.
"Pathetic!"
The person behind her sneered disdainfully, and then Claire was taken to a car, where the person who captured her also revealed his face.
"It’s... it’s you?"
Claire was stunned.
Isn’t this Ethan Ford, the eldest son of the Ford Family?
Why would he kidnap her, could it be he’s avenging Ivy, after all, he was almost going to marry Ivy...
"What do you want?"
Knowing who it was, Claire finally calmed down a lot, and boldly asked.
Ethan Ford glanced at her coldly, then amusedly laughed, "Let’s make a deal."
A deal?
Claire warily furrowed her brows, not believing the Crowley family had any good deal with Ethan Ford.
Ethan Ford said, "I can give you a real child from the Blackwood family."
What?
Claire’s eyes widened slightly, instinctively covering her own abdomen.
He knows this child inside her isn’t Sebastian Blackwood’s...
"Eight months later, you will prematurely deliver, and I will personally bring the child belonging to you and Sebastian Blackwood to your side."
Ethan Ford spoke methodically.
Claire immediately understood, he wants to swap Ivy Kensington’s child with hers!
"You have three minutes to think it over."
Seeing her not answering, Ethan Ford did not rush her, but his emotions were especially dark in his eyes.
Claire bit her lip, pondering deeply. Of course, she was reluctant about her own child, but... having a child from the Blackwood family was of greater use to her!
Not even a minute later, Claire nodded, "Alright, I agree!"
Afterwards, she added, "Then what about my child?"
If Ivy’s child comes to her side, what will happen to her own child?
"That’s not something you need to know."
Ethan Ford replied.
Claire touched her abdomen, feeling a pang of sadness, but it lasted only a second.
After all, it was just the child of some unknown duck, if it’s lost, so be it. Swapping with Ivy’s child meant that the child in her belly had a high chance of dying...
After all, Ethan Ford was a ruthless person.
"What do you need me to do?"
Claire was a sensible person; she understood there’s no such thing as a free lunch, if Ethan Ford was willing to help her, there must be a catch.
Unexpectedly, Ethan Ford just calmly said, "I only need you to proceed with the engagement ceremony with Sebastian Blackwood as agreed."
Upon hearing this, Claire furrowed her brows again.
No matter how rampant the rumors outside were, she knew clearly in her heart that the engagement was something only she and Old Madam Blackwood were enthusiastic about. Sebastian Blackwood never intended to marry her, he could even cold-heartedly abort the child in her belly, how could he possibly marry her!
However...
For her own benefits, Claire still gritted her teeth and nodded, "Fine, I will make it happen."
The next day.
When Ivy Kensington woke up, it was already morning.
There was a message from Owen Rhodes on her phone: [Miss Kensington, Master Blackwood is already awake. If you have the time, please come by, Master Blackwood has something to say to you.]
