Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Sasha Ford, the Young Lady
Soon, the three figures disappeared from sight.
Sebastian Blackwood’s handsome face was a mask of anger, a hint of disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Nina Shaw.
He had watched Nina grow up, so he didn’t question her words at all just now. But unexpectedly, his trust turned him into an accomplice to her deceit.
Nina was frightened by the man’s cold stare, her heart tightening, and she whimpered, "Brother Sebastian, I... I just forgot and thought the necklace was lost..."
Sebastian said nothing, grabbed his coat, and strode away.
"Brother Sebastian..."
Nina was genuinely anxious now, tears streaming down her face.
Watching the man’s tall figure disappear into the car, Nina finally stopped in her tracks.
She bit her lip hatefully; Ivy Kensington, that bitch, just wait and see!
...
June Keane dropped Ronnie off at kindergarten, and Ivy Kensington headed to Huxley’s Apothecary.
During this period, Florence Huxley had been so busy with who knows what that she often didn’t come to the shop, but Ivy didn’t mind her absence and diligently focused on her own tasks.
"Hey."
Suddenly, Ethan Ford walked in, "I’m here to pay for yesterday’s treatment fee."
Ivy didn’t expect him to be so honest and couldn’t help but smile, "As agreed, with the discount, it’s just nine hundred."
But Ethan said, "Have dinner with me tonight, and I’ll pay you then."
What?
Ivy frowned and refused, "I treated your injury, you pay the fee, it’s only right, why should I have dinner with you?"
Ethan was about to say more when a phone call suddenly interrupted.
"Mr. Ford, Miss Sasha’s Peace Locket has appeared, and it’s with a collector!"
Ethan’s eyes darkened, "Send me the details packaged up."
After hanging up, Ethan quickly received the information.
He opened it and, indeed, the Peace Locket was crafted by the Ford Family!
Ivy saw how anxious he looked and instinctively glanced at his phone screen.
Wasn’t that her Peace Locket?
Ivy asked urgently, "Why do you have this Peace Locket too?"
Wasn’t the Peace Locket sold to a collector by Anne Linden? Could Ethan Ford be that collector?
Detecting the implication in her words, Ethan said, "You own this Peace Locket?"
Ivy pondered for a moment, and after two interactions, she figured that Ethan didn’t seem like a bad person. She said, "This Peace Locket was given by my mother and was sold off by someone recently."
A glint flashed in Ethan’s eyes. This Peace Locket belonged to Sasha Ford...
He said, "I just thought it was beautiful. Coincidentally, there’s an auction tomorrow night where this Peace Locket will be up for bid, and I plan to buy it."
Knowing how much Ivy cared about this Peace Locket, Ethan offered again, "If you have dinner with me tonight, I can take you to tomorrow night’s auction."
For the sake of the Peace Locket, Ivy finally gritted her teeth and agreed!
It’s just a dinner, after all, and Ethan Ford would be picking up the tab.
That evening.
Ethan Ford took her to the most renowned national cuisine feast in Celestia, where any dish could easily cost four figures. Having never seen such an extravagant occasion, Ivy couldn’t help but anxiously ask, "Mr. Ford, are you sure you can afford this?"
She didn’t want to end up detained for not being able to pay the bill.
Ethan pointed to his face, "Do you think I’m poor?"
Ivy took another look at him. Although she wasn’t familiar with high-fashion brands, Ethan’s attire certainly didn’t look shabby, suggesting he was probably quite wealthy.
Just as she sat down, two more figures walked in, none other than Sebastian Blackwood and Nina Shaw!
