Ethan Ford watched the departing figure of Sebastian Blackwood, emotions flickering in his eyes, eventually turning into a cold sneer.
He had stayed by Ivy Kensington’s side for four years, yet after returning to the country, she was still entangled with Sebastian Blackwood.
Ethan Ford nonchalantly tapped his phone screen and finally shrugged it off, as if he knew nothing, returning to his room.
Early the next morning.
Ivy Kensington originally had a flight scheduled for the evening, but suddenly, Sharon Langley’s urgent call ca through.
"Ivy, Austin has gotten into trouble!"
"What happened?"
Ivy was brushing her teeth and frowned upon hearing this.
Sharon Langley said, "People from the Hawthorne family caught Austin because Julian Hawthorne caught him attempting to assault Nina Shaw!"
What?
How could that be possible!
Ivy responded, "I’m coming back right now!"
On the other side.
Sebastian Blackwood also received a ssage: "Brother Blackwood, you need to return imdiately. Sothing big happened with Nina!"
Julian Hawthorne’s words were laced with seething anger!
Sebastian Blackwood had previously said that Nina Shaw’s matters were no longer his concern, and upon hearing this, he replied indifferently, "Is she throwing another hunger strike, threatening suicide or so such."
Previously, when he ignored Nina, she would resort to such ans to force him to intervene. Perhaps it was the sa tactic this ti?
"Brother Blackwood, what do you an by that!"
Julian Hawthorne was a bit angry, "Nina almost died! She was abused, and narrowly avoided being violated..."
After speaking, Julian sent over a video clip.
In the video, Nina Shaw was being beaten by a man, and then the man started tearing at her clothes and pants.
"Get away, who are you, I don’t know you..."
Nina cried out in endless distress.
Then, the screen went black, and the video ended there.
Sebastian Blackwood’s expression beca serious, and with hidden anger in his voice, he asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Who dared to commit such despicable acts against Nina Shaw?
They’re simply courting death!
Julian Hawthorne mockingly said, "Austin! The bodyguard by Ivy Kensington’s side!"
In an instant, Sebastian Blackwood’s deep-set eyes darkened.
An hour later.
Ivy Kensington arrived in Veridia, where Sharon Langley was already waiting for her at the airport, ready to explain how everything had unfolded.
"Last night, I intended to call Austin out to join Ginny and Cody for dinner, but I simply couldn’t reach him."
"After that, Julian Hawthorne got in touch with , claiming Austin had been caught! He said Austin kidnapped Nina Shaw and attempted to assault her. Currently, Austin is being held by the Hawthorne family, and we have no way to contact him."
As a result, they were now in a completely passive position.
The only information they had ca from what the Hawthorne family disclosed, making it impossible to discern the truth.
"Ivy, what should we do now?"
Sharon Langley was frantic with anxiety. Austin had been with them for four years abroad, always protecting them, and now that sothing happened, they were unable to locate him.
The Langley and Eastwood families had both spoken to Julian Hawthorne, but his stance made it apparent he did not intend to release Austin.
Ivy Kensington considered deeply, finally stating, "There is soone who can help us."
Winnie Winslow!
Ivy had crossed paths with Winnie Winslow before, and she had her contact information in her ssenger. She quickly sent her a ssage: [Miss Winslow, if you have ti, can we et?]
Winnie Winslow replied promptly: [Of course, no problem.]
The two arranged to et at a café.
"Miss Kensington, long ti no see."
Winnie Winslow extended her hand towards Ivy Kensington, who took it, apologetically saying, "I’m sorry to reach out just when I need your help."
Winnie waved it off nonchalantly, "Tell what’s going on. If I can help, I won’t hesitate."
She had a good impression of Ivy Kensington and was happy to make her a friend.
"I need your help to find soone!"
Ivy Kensington placed a photo of Austin before Winnie Winslow.
Winnie squinted slightly, saying, "I’ve seen this person, but he has already been taken away by Master Blackwood!"
