One Night Bride: Master Blackwood's Substitute Wife-Chapter 852: Caring

Ivy Kensington swallowed hard, her lips twitching uncontrollably a few times. She turned around and walked away without looking back.

She was too immature!

Right, a man like Sebastian Blackwood, even if just to satisfy his physical needs, would have many women scrambling to get into his bed!

Walking out of Blackwood Manor, Ivy didn’t know why she felt this way, even though she had only met Sebastian a few times, and he was terribly annoying, constantly teasing her, and had even perversely forced a kiss on her the first time they met.

Yet at this moment, realizing he was so intimate with another woman, she inexplicably felt a pang in her heart!

She must be bewitched! How could she care about him even a little?

"Miss Kensington."

At that moment, a voice came through. Ivy looked up and saw Arthur Blackwood standing opposite her, his gaze fixed directly on her!

Ivy’s first reaction was to frown in annoyance, not wanting any further interaction with him. However, Arthur loudly declared, "Let’s talk. You’ve been used!"

Her steps faltered.

...

Meanwhile, at Blackwood Manor.

Sebastian Blackwood went straight to the study upon returning, indeed to handle matters related to the Vansin Tech cooperation case.

Owen Rhodes had already completed everything according to his instructions; Sebastian only needed to check the results.

"Master Blackwood, Arthur Blackwood already knows he’s fallen into our trap. He’s leaving the Blackwood Group now. Should we have someone follow him?"

Through the video, Owen Rhodes reported the situation comprehensively.

Sebastian nodded slightly, "No need."

Just a stray dog, he won’t stir up much trouble.

Returning to the country this time, Arthur Blackwood was never his main obstacle, regardless of any tricks he might have, they wouldn’t achieve much.

"By the way, Master Blackwood, Dr. Sylvia Sterling has returned to the country. She’s concerned about your health and asked me about your situation. I carelessly let it slip, and she will probably come looking for you soon."

At this point, Owen Rhodes anxiously asked, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, fearing Sebastian’s anger.

It was truly his fault.

Yet he couldn’t help but feel aggrieved. Dr. Sylvia Sterling was quite nice; at least she seemed better for Sebastian than Ivy Kensington. Why couldn’t Master Blackwood favor Dr. Sylvia a little more?

Thinking this way, when Sylvia asked him about Sebastian’s affairs, he couldn’t help but explain everything thoroughly.

Only after speaking fast did he begin to feel dread.

This was bad; Master Blackwood most hated people who couldn’t control their own mouths. The reason he had been Sebastian’s assistant for so many years was mainly due to his discretion; this time, however...

The more he thought, the more uneasy Owen became, finally unable to restrain himself and proactively confessed to Sebastian.

"Master Blackwood, it’s my fault for being indiscreet. You can punish me as you see fit."

However, Sebastian merely glanced lightly at him, his deep voice saying, "Year-end bonus reduced by one-fifth. The rest will depend on future performance."

This reaction was much lighter than he had imagined!

One-fifth of the year-end bonus; if he performs well afterward, he could earn it back. Owen quickly said, "Thank you, Master Blackwood. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future!"

Then, the video call ended.

Sebastian touched the spot over his heart, indeed relieved that Sylvia Sterling had returned in time. Lately, he felt his heart discomfort lasted longer, and the frequency was increasing.

He’s not afraid of death, but he now had people and affairs he couldn’t let go of.

This was his vulnerability.
