Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Attending Nina Shaw’s Welcome Party
"Miss Kensington, at this point, we must stabilize our collaboration with The Shaw Group, or else the apothecary really won’t be able to keep running."
The assistant said from the side.
Ivy Kensington naturally understood this reasoning; as long as The Shaw Group was willing to cooperate, other small businesses wouldn’t be a problem.
However, The Shaw Group... she actually really didn’t want to be involved with anything related to Nina Shaw.
Pressing her lips together, Ivy said, "I’ll go talk to The Shaw Group, you take good care of Elder Huxley."
Soon, Ivy took a taxi to Shaw Enterprises.
The Shaw Group started off as just a small business, but it developed gradually as its relationships with the Blackwood and Hawthorne families grew increasingly close, and has now become one of the leading companies in Veridia.
Their medicinal herbs are quite renowned as well.
Ivy indicated her purpose to the receptionist and waited in the lobby for a response.
Conveniently, Nina Shaw was there today too.
Seeing Ivy’s figure, she paused her steps and asked the person next to her, "What is she doing here?"
"She is the person in charge of Huxley’s Apothecary, here to discuss collaboration with us."
Discuss collaboration?
Nina smirked disdainfully.
A gleam flashed in her eyes, and Nina instructed her people with a word.
Afterwards.
Ivy waited for half an hour before someone came to inform her.
"Miss Kensington, we’re sorry, but you won’t be able to see our person in charge today, as the schedule is already full. However, you might try your luck at the Shaw family tomorrow."
To the Shaw family?
Ivy frowned in confusion. Why would you go to the Shaw family to discuss business?
The person continued, "Tomorrow is Miss Shaw’s welcome-back party, and the person in charge of medicinal herbs is invited. If you can’t meet them tomorrow, then there’s nothing more I can do."
Basically, it meant that The Shaw Group no longer wanted to collaborate with Huxley’s Apothecary, and if you want to fight for it, you’d better seize tomorrow’s opportunity.
Ivy naturally understood this implication.
She thanked them, "Thank you for the tip, goodbye."
Nina was hiding in the shadows, watching Ivy leave Shaw Enterprises, a calculative smile emerging at her lips.
Tomorrow, would be the day Ivy is officially expelled from the Blackwood family!
The next day.
Ivy went to the Shaw family as per the address.
The Shaw family had a son and a daughter. Their son passed away due to an accident, leaving only Nina, who also had heart disease; hence, everyone in the Shaw family doted on her, making her the center of their affection.
Harrison Shaw, as the head of the Shaw family, was even more doting on this daughter down to his bones.
"Nina, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just say the word, and I’ll have someone get it for you right away."
Harrison said fondly.
Nina pouted and clung to his arm, "There’s nothing I’m unhappy with; I love it all."
As she spoke, Julian Hawthorne and Winnie Winslow arrived.
Julian, flamboyantly, had gifted Nina a fifty-million-dollar luxury car and several seafront villas.
"Nina, welcome back home."
Nina was fully aware of Julian’s affection for her. She cast a provocative glance at Winnie but said sweetly, "Julian, this is such an extravagance."
Julian affectionately patted the top of her head, "Spending this on you is nothing."
Winnie directly ignored Nina’s provocation. If it weren’t for Julian helping her when she was young, she would have divorced him long ago...
"Winnie, don’t you see Miss Shaw here? Hurry up and greet Miss Shaw!"
Just then, Winnie’s mother, Helen Langley, who worked for the Shaw family as a housemaid, came over and secretly pinched Winnie, urging her to greet Nina.
She said again, "If it weren’t for benefiting from Miss Shaw’s favor, could you have been taken as the Shaw family’s goddaughter? Could you have married into the Hawthorne family? You have to remember the Shaw family’s kindness for the rest of your life, understand?"
