Chapter 468: Chapter 468: A Good Match for Master Blackwood
Upon hearing this, Sophie Sullivan couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted.
This Ivy Kensington is really stupid to actually believe what she said!
Hahaha, she’ll have her moment later.
Sophie excitedly thought to herself, and then sincerely said, "Thank you for still trusting me. Come on, I’ll take you to change clothes."
Ivy responded with a hum, using her hand to cover the wet part of her clothing, and walked ahead of Sophie.
Seeing her walk away, Sophie seized the opportunity to slip a note into Deputy Director Fu’s hand.
[Room 355 on the third floor.]
After slipping the note, Sophie threw a flirtatious glance at Deputy Director Fu and followed Ivy’s steps.
Deputy Director Fu looked at the note in his hand and pushed his glasses up with a smile.
This little starlet is quite savvy.
This scene was fully observed by Julian Hawthorne and the other two.
Julian said, "Brother Blackwood, looks like we’ll need your help later."
This Sophie is obviously up to no good, if Ivy follows her, she’ll definitely suffer!
Miles Pierce made a clicking sound with his tongue, "That’s not necessarily true."
Based on the last court case, Ivy isn’t one to be trifled with.
Sebastian Blackwood remained silent and didn’t say a word.
At this point, Mayor Crowley walked over with Claire Crowley.
"Master Blackwood, may I have a word?"
Upon hearing this, Julian Hawthorne clicked his tongue, "Is there something we can’t hear? Just say it, don’t bother with this ’may I have a word’ business."
Mayor Crowley’s expression stiffened, not expecting Julian to be so disrespectful.
Seeing that Sebastian Blackwood didn’t move, Mayor Crowley understood that Sebastian agreed with Julian’s words and wanted him to speak directly.
In that case...
Mayor Crowley gritted his teeth and said, "Master Blackwood, you bullied my Claire. This matter needs some explanation."
What?
Julian Hawthorne and Miles Pierce were both stunned; could this bullying be what they’re thinking?
Brother Blackwood actually took a liking to Claire Crowley, which doesn’t quite match his usual style...
Sebastian Blackwood’s long fingers tightened slightly around the wine glass, then he lifted his eyes, looking at Mayor Crowley with a faint smile and lightly said, "An explanation? Do tell, what kind of explanation is needed."
He seemed quite leisurely waiting to hear what he would say.
Mayor Crowley immediately said, "My Claire is a pure girl, now that she’s with you, naturally there should be some status."
A fine status.
Sebastian Blackwood’s lips curved slightly in response.
Seeing the man’s expression appeared not too good, Claire Crowley felt a bit nervous, she tugged at Mayor Crowley, "Dad, I’ve already said, don’t trouble Master Blackwood with this matter, I’m fine."
Her appearance was both aggrieved and forbearing.
Seeing this, Julian Hawthorne and Miles Pierce couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder she’s a household name star, she really puts on a good performance.
The father-daughter pair played one as the ’good cop’ and the other as the ’bad cop,’ putting Sebastian Blackwood in an awkward position.
"I’m sorry, Master Blackwood, I promised you I wouldn’t speak of this matter, but I felt more upset the more I thought after returning home. My father noticed something off about my state and kept asking me, I couldn’t help but tell him..."
Claire continued, her eyes already starting to redden with grievance.
Mayor Crowley added, "Claire, you’re my only daughter, the mayor’s heiress, you don’t need to be so humble!"
Implying that Sebastian marrying her would be a good match!
After all, it’s widely known now that Sebastian’s lineage is questionable, not necessarily even a true member of the Blackwood family. Claire Crowley is definitely more than suitable for him.
There was a certain arrogance in Mayor Crowley’s words, especially now that he’s successfully re-elected as mayor. Next election, he might even aim for the governor’s position.
And by that time, the Crowley family’s status would surely rise even higher!
