Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Let Master Blackwood See Her Charms!
Ivy Kensington glanced back at her and retorted, "Why can’t I come?"
With that said, she got out of the car with Sebastian Blackwood.
Sophie Sullivan was so angry her nose nearly went crooked!
That bitch must have deliberately seduced Master Blackwood to get him to bring her to such an important event!
Everyone who comes to Pinewood Manor is from the upper echelons of Veridia’s power circle. Just by clinging to one of them, she won’t have to worry for the rest of her life. That shameless thing, Ivy, definitely has ulterior motives!
Sophie thought bitterly to herself and then said aloud, "Claire, you mustn’t let Ivy get too close to Master Blackwood. She’s so manipulative. If Master Blackwood gets enchanted by her, you’ll miss your chance."
Upon hearing this, Claire Crowley’s eyes darkened beneath her long lashes.
What on earth is Ivy Kensington capable of?
To make the high-and-mighty Master Blackwood so relentless, despite her misunderstanding last time that something happened between her and him, why does she shamelessly stick to Master Blackwood?
For a moment, Claire’s hand hanging by her side couldn’t help but clench.
At that moment, Mayor Crowley walked over and said, "Claire, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come inside with me."
"Alright, Dad."
Claire snapped back to reality and walked over to Mayor Crowley’s side.
Today’s occasion is extremely important. She must perform well to show Master Blackwood her charm!
Claire smiled confidently.
Sophie’s status couldn’t get her into such a venue, but she managed to slip in by sticking close to Claire.
Pinewood Manor has three levels.
The first level is various halls of The State Banquet Hall, the second level is the banquet hall, and the last level is like a hotel’s suite for resting.
Ivy followed Sebastian Blackwood to the second floor first.
The banquet hall was very spacious, with all sorts of desserts and snacks in the middle.
It was almost noon by this time; when Ivy arrived in the morning, she only had a bit of breakfast, and now she was already hungry.
After bringing her to the second floor, Sebastian Blackwood disappeared somewhere.
Ivy didn’t bother looking for him and leisurely enjoyed herself.
Seeing everyone around engrossed in conversations, she headed straight to the desserts, found a small plate and fork, and started quietly eating.
She was eating so intently that she didn’t notice when her foot slipped a little.
Luckily, a hand reached out to support her, "Careful."
She looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a crew cut and glasses, looking quite amiable.
She politely said, "Thank you."
This scene happened to be caught by Claire and Sophie as they entered the hall.
Sophie tutted disdainfully, "As expected, Ivy is nothing but a shameless slut! She dares to cozy up to even Deputy Director Fu. Disgusting!"
Claire narrowed her eyes slightly.
Don’t be fooled by Deputy Director Fu’s decent appearance; he’s more of a player than anyone in private!
He has deceived many young girls new to society, and Ivy is reckless enough to try to seduce him.
Claire’s eyes slightly shifted, as if unintentionally saying, "If Master Blackwood were to find out about this, that would be interesting."
That remark seemed to enlighten Sophie.
Sophie curled her lips into a sinister smile, "Claire, I have a great idea."
Then she leaned close to Claire’s ear and began to speak.
Claire looked worried, "Isn’t that too much..."
"Don’t worry, Claire. Leave it all to me."
Sophie said, patting her chest.
As she finished speaking, they saw Mayor Crowley walking over, "Claire, come here. There’s something I need to discuss with you."
