Chapter 72: Dahlia Kensington Falls Into the Water and Frames, Outsmarts and Strikes Back
CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 72: DAHLIA KENSINGTON FALLS INTO THE WATER AND FRAMES, OUTSMARTS AND STRIKES BACK
Suddenly, Dahlia Kensington was even more furious!
"Well, Ivy, it’s only been half a day, and you’re already seducing Sebastian again. You’re really cheap to the bone."
Ivy Kensington had calmed down. The masked ball had random dance partners, so she had nothing to be ashamed of.
"It was Mr. Blackwood who invited me. What does it have to do with me?"
The fact that Sebastian Blackwood had actively invited her was what made Dahlia Kensington so furious. And she dared to say it right to her face!
One of Dahlia Kensington’s girlfriends spoke up for her, "Pah, who knows if you used some shady means on Master Blackwood behind the scenes?"
"Exactly, Dahlia is carrying the heir of the Blackwood family, and you, who’s had your school enrollment revoked, would Master Blackwood invite you to dance if you hadn’t used tricks? You’re really giving yourself too much credit."
They spoke one after another, not giving Ivy a chance to speak.
Ivy couldn’t be bothered to tangle with them any longer. She still had to keep an eye out for Stanley Kensington’s figure, so she turned and walked elsewhere.
At this moment, someone in Dahlia Kensington’s clique quietly said, "Dahlia, Master Blackwood is coming over."
Dahlia Kensington’s gaze flickered and landed on Ivy.
The next second, she quickly stepped to Ivy’s side.
"Ivy, why did you push me!"
With a splash, Dahlia Kensington fell...
Ivy was taken aback for a second, quickly realizing that Dahlia was trying to frame her. Her eyes darkened, and she immediately jumped in as well.
The water in the artificial lake wasn’t deep. In almost three minutes, Ivy had pulled her out.
Dahlia Kensington wasn’t hurt at all; her clothes weren’t even completely wet.
Ivy coldly said, "Mrs. Blackwood, if I really wanted to push you into the water, I wouldn’t choose such a shallow lake. The sea would be more suitable. Besides, I wouldn’t need to jump in to save you like this."
Dahlia Kensington: "..." She was infuriated.
Her mouth opened several times, but Dahlia Kensington couldn’t come up with a rebuttal.
By this time, Sebastian Blackwood had already reached the edge of the artificial lake, standing there tall and impressive, his gaze indifferent as he looked at the two in the water.
"Sebastian..." Dahlia quickly cried out and went over: "My stomach hurts, could something be wrong with our child..."
Ivy couldn’t be sure of Sebastian’s thoughts, so she hurriedly cleared herself of the accusation: "I didn’t push her. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance."
Today was the school anniversary celebration, and to prevent accidents, all campus surveillance cameras were turned on.
Sebastian coldly said, "Ivy, do you think I’d trust the surveillance?"
Meaning, as long as he thinks she pushed Dahlia, then that’s the truth.
Ivy’s heart throbbed with pain again; of course, why would he stand by her side...
With a defeated look, Ivy said, "I don’t know how Mr. Blackwood wants to punish me."
She surrendered, knowing more words were useless.
Ha.
Sebastian let out a cold laugh; she was quick to admit her mistake now, but didn’t say a word about the mistakes she’d made before!
Seeing that Sebastian wasn’t showing any signs of anger, Dahlia feared Ivy might use this chance to entangle him again. She had no choice but to swallow her scheme whole: "We should hurry to the hospital; my stomach doesn’t feel well."
Just as they were about to leave, Ivy suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, Stanley Kensington?
In an instant, Ivy couldn’t stay there any longer; she must find Stanley...
The next second, Ivy pushed aside Sebastian blocking her path and rushed out.
"Stop!"
