Chapter 769: Chapter 769

Sebastian Blackwood’s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly sizing her up, but he didn’t move.

Ivy Kensington nudged him, signaling for him to leave.

Only then did Sebastian Blackwood finally stand up and leisurely stride over to Sylvia Sterling.

Seeing that he was only willing to come out with her at Ivy Kensington’s suggestion, the emotions in Sylvia Sterling’s heart grew increasingly chaotic, and she bit down hard on her teeth. Follow current novels on novel{f}ire.net

"I think we’ve already discussed what needed discussing between us, and you’ve signed the contract, which means you tacitly agreed that the previous matters are concluded."

Sebastian Blackwood’s tone was indifferent, entirely businesslike.

All the compensation he offered Sylvia Sterling, she had accepted.

Since she accepted, there was no point in discussing it further.

But now, Sylvia Sterling regretted it!

She no longer wanted those cold benefits; she wanted Sebastian Blackwood himself! She wanted him to care about her as he did before, even if it was just pretend, she still wanted it!

Sylvia Sterling opened her mouth, about to speak, but Sebastian Blackwood seemed to have already anticipated what she wanted to say and interrupted her first, "Dr. Sterling, people shouldn’t be too greedy. You should understand this principle."

Since she accepted the benefits he offered, she couldn’t go back on it.

This was something they had agreed upon when they talked that day, she had no objections then, and there was no room for regret now.

In an instant, the words Sylvia Sterling wanted to say got stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t utter a single word!

She couldn’t want everything, wanting to pocket all the benefits Sebastian Blackwood gave the Sterling family, and also want him as a person.

In this world, there really wasn’t such a good deal!

Sylvia Sterling swallowed and finally let out a bitter smile, "Director Blackwood, you really are someone who can clearly separate emotions and work. In this, I am ashamed to not be your equal."

Hearing this, Sebastian Blackwood still maintained a calm expression.

Just when Sylvia Sterling thought he wouldn’t respond, he spoke, "It’s not like that."

His rationality becomes insignificant when it comes to Ivy Kensington.

That’s why he did such childish things, using Sylvia Sterling, but now that he’s clear-headed, he’ll take responsibility for his actions, and the compensation he owes won’t be lessened.

"In my life, Ivy Kensington is an exception."

Sebastian Blackwood continued calmly, but his voice softened.

They had worked so hard to break through misunderstandings and obstacles to be together, and now, he just wants to be with her well.

After hearing these words, Sylvia Sterling felt, for the first time in her life, a sense of envy.

At this moment, she truly envied Ivy Kensington.

Lowering her head, Sylvia Sterling said, "I understand, from now on, this matter is over."

She wouldn’t bring it up again.

Sebastian Blackwood responded and, before leaving, only left one sentence, "As long as you need help in the future, take out that textbook, and the Blackwood Group will do everything to help you."

After saying this, the man turned and went back to the ward.

Sylvia Sterling watched his tall, strong back, feeling uneasy. Forget it, it’s better to clarify the misunderstanding about that textbook sooner rather than later, after all, it’s not hers and ultimately doesn’t belong to her!

However, she had just uttered one word when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth.

"Dr. Sterling, let’s have a good chat!"

It was a woman’s voice!

Sylvia Sterling was startled. Before she could struggle, she was dragged away by the person behind her...
