Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Claire Crowley Appears with the Child
The sound of congratulations from the crowd reached Ivy Kensington’s ears, but she only blinked expressionlessly.
At that moment, a security guard came running over.
With a face full of urgency, he said, "Young Master, Master Blackwood... Master Blackwood has arrived with his wife!"
What?
The crowd was astonished.
The sanctions crisis from a few months ago had made it known throughout Celestia that Blackwood Group and Lowell Group were completely at odds.
Moreover, after the sanctions crisis, Blackwood Group would occasionally target Lowell Group, yet no one expected Sebastian Blackwood to attend today’s succession ceremony!
And he brought his wife and daughter!
Ivy Kensington’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that familiar name.
Could it be that Sebastian Blackwood was really coming...
Evan Lowell noticed the woman’s distraction and clasped her waist with his palm, whispering, "Ivy, don’t forget, you are now my fiancée."
Only then did Ivy Kensington pull herself together and replied coldly, "I know."
Outside the main gate of the Lowell Group.
Sebastian Blackwood’s black Maybach came to a stop, and Claire Crowley, holding the child, was the first to get out.
"Sebastian, look, Nanna knows you’re taking her out, and she’s so happy smiling,"
Claire Crowley gently tapped her daughter’s little face, carefully talking to Sebastian Blackwood.
Although Sebastian Blackwood had checked the blood relation between Nanna and himself, confirming the child was his, his attitude towards her and the baby remained indifferent.
He had no intention of marrying her, as Old Madam Blackwood suggested.
Having done so much, how could she bear to gain nothing in return?
So, upon inadvertently learning that Sebastian Blackwood was coming to the Lowell Group today for the succession ceremony, Claire Crowley used the excuse that Nanna was unwell and needed a hospital check-up to get in the car.
Once in the car, she tearfully implored, only wanting to attend today’s succession ceremony with Sebastian Blackwood.
She refused to believe that, under these circumstances, Sebastian Blackwood could still reject her.
Fortunately, this little brat was somewhat useful, and began to cry just when they were about to be kicked out of the car.
In the end, Sebastian Blackwood allowed her and Nanna to accompany him to the ceremony.
This was precisely what Claire Crowley wanted, as long as the media captured it, even if Sebastian Blackwood refused to acknowledge her, she would still be regarded as Mrs. Blackwood!
"Master Blackwood, please come in."
Given the order from Evan Lowell, the security guard hurriedly came out with a smile to welcome them.
Sebastian Blackwood’s gaze was cold, and his long legs strode inside swiftly.
He had been searching for Ivy Kensington for eight whole months!
Yet there was not a trace of information, as if she had vanished into thin air.
With both Colin Lowell and Evan Lowell appearing at today’s event, perhaps that foolish woman was here too...
With this thought, Sebastian Blackwood suppressed his deep emotions, walking in with a calm demeanor.
Upon entering, his gaze immediately met the eyes of a woman on stage.
The woman looked at him, her eyes radiant and seemingly filled with countless words, stirring a string in Sebastian Blackwood’s heart that had been still for these past eight months.
This feeling, was it Ivy Kensington?!
He focused his gaze, only to find it was a completely unfamiliar face.
Utterly alluring, capable of capturing one’s soul with just a look, how could it possibly be Ivy Kensington!
This woman was entirely different from Ivy Kensington, even her figure was not the same!
Sebastian Blackwood quickly withdrew his gaze, no longer offering even an extra look.
Ivy Kensington’s heart sank. Just now, from his expression, she thought he had recognized her, but now it appeared he hadn’t...
Right then, Claire Crowley entered with the child!
