Chapter 143: Chapter 143: You Never Really Cared About Me
On the day of the accident, Ivy Kensington faintly heard the scar-faced man mention the Shaw family, but later the scar-faced man died, and there was no way to investigate this matter further.
Upon hearing this, Sebastian Blackwood’s handsome face darkened: "What does this have to do with Nina?"
From his investigation, the men in the van initially intended to kidnap Nina Shaw to threaten the Shaw family for a large ransom, but mistakenly took Ivy instead, which later resulted in an accident.
This whole incident had nothing to do with Nina Shaw from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, Ivy Kensington let out a bitter laugh. She pointed at Sebastian Blackwood’s chest and asked word by word, "Sebastian, when it’s clear you don’t have me in your heart, why do you insist on keeping me around?"
Is it just for that heart of hers that could save Nina Shaw that he has to force her like this?
Ivy couldn’t help it and started to cry.
This was the first time she had shed tears in front of Sebastian Blackwood.
Sebastian was taken aback, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable at heart. He said stiffly, "Why are you crying?"
The more he spoke, the more Ivy couldn’t control her tears.
Why was she not even allowed to cry? Who did he think he was?
His Adam’s apple moved, and Sebastian raised his hand to wipe the tears off her face. His tone sounded hard, but in fact, it had softened as he said, "Keep your tears in check, and I’ll give you the Peace Locket."
The Peace Locket?
Ivy was stunned. She couldn’t control her tears, but she didn’t expect that it would make him willing to give her the Peace Locket.
Quickly drying her tears, Ivy said, "Okay."
Sebastian: "..."
This damned woman made him feel like he was being deceived.
His thin lips moved slightly, and he instructed Owen Rhodes, "Bring the Peace Locket."
After the last auction, it had been kept in Owen Rhodes’ custody.
Owen immediately nodded, "Yes, Master Blackwood."
However, half an hour later, Owen came back sweating profusely, trembling as he said, "Master Blackwood... the Peace Locket is missing..."
What?
Ivy was stunned.
Why does this Peace Locket attract so much attention?
Who exactly took it?
Owen now even wanted to die to atone for his mistakes. Recently, the tasks Sebastian Blackwood assigned to him were completed worse each time. If this continued, he was not far from being dismissed!
Not daring to look at Sebastian Blackwood’s unpleasant expression, Owen immediately said, "Master Blackwood, give me three days... no, one day, I promise to find the Peace Locket back!"
Sebastian exhaled a breath, his tone deep: "Twelve hours."
Twelve hours...
Owen almost couldn’t stand straight, not daring to delay further. He dashed off, "I guarantee to complete the task!"
Amidst this interjection, Ivy’s suitcase had long been carried back by Mrs. Langley.
Sebastian looked at her with a deep gaze: "What happened today shall not happen again."
Threatening with divorce at every turn, who taught her this bad habit?
Ivy lowered her head, saying nothing.
For the Peace Locket, she temporarily couldn’t leave either.
The next day.
Ivy returned to the pharmacy; the collaboration with The Shaw Group had collapsed. Elder Huxley looked troubled but knew it wasn’t Ivy’s fault. He sighed silently, "Perhaps, all of this is ordained."
But Ivy shook her head, "No, teacher, we still have a way!"
A way?
Elder Huxley was incredulous yet hopeful and asked, "Ivy, is there really a turning point?"
"Yes."
Ivy nodded without hesitation, then opened her computer and took out the plan she had thought of while in the hospital.
After Elder Huxley finished reading, he was utterly shocked, "This... can really work?"
Ivy was too bold!
"We’ve always been processing and selling others’ herbs, so why not build our own brand? Once we have established ourselves, why worry about others not coming to us?"
Determinedly, Ivy said, "There’s one last batch of herbs left in the pharmacy. With them, we can make a batch of Holy Face Cream. As long as this batch is successfully launched, there will definitely be companies looking to collaborate with us afterward."
Ivy had wanted to discuss this with Elder Huxley as soon as she joined the pharmacy, but at that time Florence Huxley was still in charge, and she always targeted Ivy, so the Holy Face Cream plan had been put aside. Now the timing was perfect.
After pondering for a moment, Elder Huxley decisively said, "Alright, let’s take a gamble!"
Neither of them noticed that someone was hiding in the shadows, overhearing their entire conversation...
