Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
Sebastian Blackwood suddenly fell silent.
From the very beginning, he had suspected that Ivy Kensington harbored ill intentions towards him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have tried to strangle him when he woke up. Ivy’s hatred for him was genuine.
But...
The heart is the hardest thing to control.
An impeccably handsome face now appeared ominously grim. Sebastian Blackwood’s thin lips pressed tightly together as he looked at Julian Hawthorne expressionlessly, "You seem quite free?"
Came all the way here to lecture him.
Julian Hawthorne coughed, "I just heard you were bullying Nina, afraid you’d do something you’d regret!"
Nina Shaw sat silently on the hospital bed, listening to their conversation. She knew it was the perfect opportunity for her.
She spoke gently, "Brother Sebastian, I know that sending someone to bully Sharon Langley was indeed my fault. I will definitely apologize to Sharon properly, and I won’t do such things again. Please trust me one more time, okay?"
Sebastian Blackwood’s scrutinizing gaze fell on her face, and Nina Shaw secretly bit her lower lip.
Sure enough, Brother Sebastian had begun to no longer believe her unconditionally...
But for now, she still wore an earnest expression, "I will keep my promise."
Julian Hawthorne added, "Brother Blackwood, give Nina a chance, won’t you? Don’t we all know her character? She’s just acting impulsively. She’s only in her twenties, you can’t just give up on her like that."
Sebastian Blackwood felt intensely irritated, and Julian’s words only added to his vexation. He sneered coldly, "Shut up."
Julian Hawthorne: "..."
"Let’s just leave it at this for now."
After a moment, Sebastian Blackwood spoke.
The implication being that this was the last time. If Nina Shaw caused trouble for Ivy Kensington and Sharon Langley again, she would not be spared!
Nina Shaw nodded obediently, "Brother Sebastian, I will remember."
But she secretly felt smug; if he forgave her this time, there would surely be another time.
Even if Brother Sebastian wasn’t there for her, she still had Julian as a backup.
Besides, even if she couldn’t appear in person, there were plenty of people to act on her behalf.
Thinking of this, Nina Shaw chuckled sinisterly.
...
Serenity Gardens.
Ivy Kensington coaxed her three little darlings to sleep. The man who repeatedly promised he would return had never shown up.
Ivy Kensington laughed coldly, realizing she had indeed been daydreaming.
Sebastian Blackwood had just been sweet-talking her, and she actually believed it.
But it served as a wake-up call; she would never easily trust Sebastian Blackwood’s lies again!
The only reason he said he liked her tonight was to get her to bed—what a creep!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Ivy Kensington took out her phone and directly blocked all of Sebastian Blackwood’s contact information.
Had a good night’s sleep, and to hell with the scumbag!
The next day.
Ivy Kensington first dropped Ginny and Cody off at Sharon Langley’s place, then took Ronnie back to Blackwood Manor before heading to the laboratory.
At this moment, in Nina Shaw’s office at the laboratory.
Nina Shaw’s injuries from yesterday hadn’t healed, but she rushed to the lab today because she’d invited a big shot to help her!
"Nina, you’re not fully recovered; you should rest a few days before returning to work."
Old Madam Blackwood had aged considerably over the past four years, though she was still in relatively good health. She came to the lab today because Nina said she was preparing some beneficial medicine for her health.
Nina Shaw pouted, "Grandma Blackwood, I’m just worried about you."
Saying this, she instructed her assistant to bring out the medicinal herbs prepared to nourish the elder’s body.
"Grandma Blackwood, I prepared these for you. Take them home and have the staff brew them for you. I guarantee any leg pain will disappear."
Nina Shaw’s sweet talk made Old Madam Blackwood beam with joy.
