Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Three-Minute Negotiation
Claire Crowley retorted, "Where did you hear this news?"
The Blood Lotus is a top-grade herb, and if this news gets out, there will definitely be countless people eyeing the Crowley family’s Blood Lotus.
Upon hearing her question, Ivy Kensington felt reassured.
It seems the Blood Lotus really is with the Crowley family!
"I have my own channels through which I learned this. Now, I want to make a deal with you."
Ivy found a chair and sat down, clearly in the posture of negotiating terms with Claire.
Claire’s eyes flickered slightly, then she let out a mocking laugh, "A deal? Do you think you have anything that can compare to the Blood Lotus?"
After all, the Blood Lotus is priceless!
Mayor Crowley obtained the Blood Lotus purely by chance and hadn’t dared to speak out, fearing it would be stolen.
Ivy said, "What do you want? I can give it to you."
Claire looked disdainful.
"What I want, I can provide for myself."
Even if she couldn’t get it, she wouldn’t let Ivy charity it to her!
The atmosphere in the hospital room suddenly fell silent.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside the hospital room. Sebastian Blackwood was bringing a doctor over!
Claire’s previously confident face suddenly turned pale. Master Blackwood really is ruthless! He said he didn’t want this child, and he truly doesn’t...
Ivy also recognized Sebastian’s footsteps. The two of them had just had a big argument, so it was better to avoid him for now.
Once he calmed down, she would go talk to him and tell him about the child she was carrying.
With that in mind, Ivy prepared to hide in the bathroom.
"Wait!"
Claire suddenly called out to her, "I’m willing to make this deal with you!"
What?
Ivy looked back at her, and Claire continued, "As long as you can make Master Blackwood not terminate the pregnancy of the child in my womb, I can find a way to get the Blood Lotus for you."
"Moreover..."
At that, Claire’s eyes instantly turned dark, carrying a trace of eeriness.
"The child in your womb, besides you, you must not tell anyone!"
Does Claire actually know about her pregnancy?
Ivy’s pupils slightly trembled, somewhat surprised.
Claire stared at her abdomen, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was tinged with jealousy.
At that time, she and Ivy were in the same operating room. Ivy had fainted, while she was awake for a while and happened to hear the doctors discussing fetal reduction surgery.
God knew how shocked and resentful she was at that moment.
She dreamed of conceiving Sebastian Blackwood’s child, but Ivy easily had twins. Even after fetal reduction surgery, she could still keep one of them.
So she grabbed a doctor’s hand, telling him to go and inform Sebastian that Ivy’s child had already been aborted.
Now, besides her, there was no one else who knew the child in Ivy’s womb still existed!
The footsteps outside got closer, and Claire anxiously said, "Hurry up, I don’t have time for you to think it over."
Ivy gently placed her hands on her lower abdomen, a hint of pain crossing her eyes.
God knew how much she wanted to share the news that the child was still there with Sebastian, but Theodore Ford couldn’t wait any longer...
With that in mind, Ivy finally nodded, "Alright, I agree!"
Just before Sebastian was about to push open the hospital room door, Ivy stepped out first.
"Sebastian, we need to talk."
She looked into the man’s deep eyes and spoke seriously.
Sebastian’s Adam’s apple bobbed, not expecting her to appear here, gazed at her for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, three minutes."
He only gave her three minutes for negotiations.
"Three minutes is enough."
Ivy said, and the two of them quickly walked into the hospital corridor’s emergency exit.
