CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: STARTING THE MATCHMAKING

Who am I sending back?

Owen thought he was hearing things. Master Blackwood had just changed Miss Kensington’s ambassador identity, and now he wants him to take her home? What kind of attitude is this?

Sebastian Blackwood’s eyebrows lowered, his eyes clouded with unclear emotions.

Ivy Kensington was clearly the type of woman he disliked the most—self-indulgent and untrustworthy. But watching her getting pushed out just now, he felt a vague annoyance, wanting to help her.

He hated the feeling of his emotions being uncontrollable.

Thinking of this, Sebastian Blackwood added, "Forget it, let her be."

Owen: "..." Don’t just say women are changeable; Master Blackwood is the same.

Glancing downstairs, Owen said, "Master Blackwood, Miss Kensington probably doesn’t need me to take her anymore."

Downstairs.

Ivy Kensington’s neck wound hurt so much that even breathing was painful. She walked slowly, step by step, contemplating splurging on a cab ride home today, when Justin Rhodes’s Maserati stopped right in front of her.

"Ivy, have you forgotten I’m your boyfriend now?"

Justin admonished unhappily, getting out of the car and grabbing her arm directly. "We agreed on a one-month trial, but you obviously don’t care about me at all and don’t even tell me when you encounter trouble."

If it weren’t for seeing the news online, Justin wouldn’t even know where to find Ivy.

Ivy was stunned, "You know I’m in trouble?"

Justin handed his phone to her, "See for yourself."

The internet, which once praised her, was now full of insults.

"She’s just getting a little fame and already putting on airs. That Ivy person really thinks too highly of herself."

"If you ask me, Blackwood Group canceling their cooperation with her was the right move. How can an internet celebrity compare to a top actress?"

Ivy scrolled through the comments, a bitter smile appearing on her small face.

Indeed, she was the one who stood up Blackwood Group first. It was only natural that Sebastian Blackwood would be eager to cancel their cooperation.

Seeing her pale face, Justin quickly put away his phone and led her to the car. "Don’t mind what those trolls say online. They don’t know you. Let them talk. I’ll take you home to rest."

Ivy, utterly exhausted both physically and mentally, didn’t refuse Justin’s approach and compliantly got into the car.

Sebastian Blackwood saw the entire scene unfold.

His previously calm expression immediately turned into a stormy one. Ha, she sure had her ways. Rebuffed by him, she switched her focus back to Justin Rhodes.

Sebastian Blackwood gave a cold smile and made a call to Justin’s mother: "It’s about time for Justin to find a girlfriend. I have several profiles of heiresses here. You should have him meet with them when he’s free."

Trusting Sebastian Blackwood implicitly, Justin’s mother readily agreed, "You’re absolutely right. Once he’s settled, he won’t wander all the time. His father and I will start arranging dates for him tomorrow."

After hanging up, a bit of the stifling irritation in Sebastian’s chest dissipated.

Just then, a video call from Julian Hawthorne came through: "Brother Blackwood, I’m returning to the country in a few days. Would you honor me with your presence at a gathering at the Golden Splendor?"

The Hawthorne and Blackwood families had always been close, and Julian and Sebastian had grown up like brothers. However, a few years back, Julian had gone abroad to escape his family’s pressure to marry. Recently, the Hawthorne family arranged a match for him, causing him to finally face reality and decide to return home.

Sebastian uttered a sound of assent, indicating his agreement to attend.

After taking Ivy home, Justin wanted to take the opportunity to go up for a glass of hot water, but his mother’s call came urgently, leaving him with no choice but to say goodbye and drive off.

Ivy watched him leave, then entered the house, seeing Ronnie already asleep, her anxious heart finally relaxed a bit.

Everything she lost was nothing compared to Ronnie. As long as Ronnie was safe, she could endure anything.

Tiffany Leighton had been waiting for her. Seeing Ivy’s pale face, she asked with concern, "Ivy, did something happen today?"

She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with Ivy.
