"Let go of ."
Ivy Kensington wasn’t cooperating at all.
The desire in Sebastian Blackwood’s eyes grew even stronger, "Ivy, you’re challenging my patience."
"No, I..."
Ivy’s lips trembled; she wanted to speak about the pregnancy, but she didn’t dare!
Sebastian only saw her as a vessel for Nina Shaw’s heart. If he knew she was pregnant, he surely wouldn’t let her keep the child...
The more she thought about it, the sadder Ivy beca. She turned her face away, "Either way, it won’t do. I don’t want to!"
A fine ’I don’t want to’ indeed!
Sebastian grabbed her chin, "So you were willing to give it to that man tonight? Ivy, how can you be so cheap! A al is all it takes to win you over."
Ivy’s cheeks flushed with what he said, yet she retorted without hesitation, "Didn’t you also take Nina Shaw out for dinner tonight? You’re no better!"
The two were in a standoff, neither giving way.
Sebastian was furious, feeling his lungs ache from anger. This woman indeed had the ability to drive him mad.
"Get out!"
With reddened eyes, Sebastian roared lowly.
Escaping from imminent danger, Ivy quickly held onto her clothes and ran away.
This man, she couldn’t afford to provoke!
The next day.
The news of their fight spread among all the servants in the estate.
Mrs. Langley advised Ivy, "Madam, Master Blackwood is actually easy to appease. Just say a few nice words and he won’t be angry anymore."
Ivy glanced at the man who ca down the stairs, didn’t even give her a look, and left directly, staying silent.
Forget it, he probably doesn’t want to see her at all.
The day quickly ca to an end.
Ethan Ford was true to his word and ca to pick up Ivy at six in the evening.
The auction was set in an underground venue, the bright lights making it seem like dayti.
Ethan’s seat was in the front row; Ivy sat to his right, with two empty seats left beside her.
"I heard the Shaw family’s eldest daughter is back and will be here tonight too. Why not bid on so items to send over and curry favor with the Shaw family?"
"Forget it, Master Blackwood spoils the Shaw daughter so much. Look, those two empty seats in the front row are reserved for Master Blackwood and Miss Shaw. Whatever Miss Shaw wants, Master Blackwood will bid on for her."
Ivy quietly listened to the conversation behind her, furrowing her brow.
Sebastian and Nina would be coming too?
Just as she was about to change seats with Ethan, Sebastian and Nina appeared.
Nina held onto his arm, intimately saying, "Brother Sebastian, I want to send sothing to Ronnie later, is that okay?"
Sebastian originally didn’t plan on coming with her to this auction, but she had used the excuse of returning ho and choosing a gift for Ronnie, which convinced him to co along.
Thinking of this, Nina felt a hateful itch in her teeth.
That brat Ronnie, she didn’t even care for him!
She glanced up and saw Ivy, pouting with impatience. Then noticing Ethan beside her, she deliberately said, "Oh dear, Brother Sebastian, who knew we’d run into Miss Kensington again, and she’s with that man from last night."
Sebastian’s gaze darkened, but tonight he acted as if he hadn’t seen Ivy, sitting down beside her.
Ivy’s hair stood on end, worried he might get as angry as the previous night.
Yet until the auction started, Sebastian remained composed, not sparing her a glance.
Ivy chuckled self-mockingly, it seed he didn’t care about her at all; it was rely for the Blackwood family’s reputation...
At this mont, the Peace Locket was placed on the auction block, and she imdiately refocused her thoughts.
"Peace Locket from a renowned artist of the late Tang Dynasty, starting bid at ten million!"
Ten million?
Unexpectedly, it was that expensive.
Ivy was completely surprised at the value of the Peace Locket; she thought it was only slightly valuable, at most six figures...
"Fifteen million."
Ethan raised his paddle, speaking indulgently to Ivy, "If you want this, I’ll win it for you as a gift, okay?"
Upon hearing this, a coldness settled in Sebastian’s deanor next to them.
"Brother Sebastian, I want that Peace Locket too, it looks so exquisite."
Nina spoke deliberately, looking challengingly toward Ivy.
