As soon as they heard that Third Master Blackwood had arrived, the guests at the scene looked towards the door without waiting for an introduction. Many of them had never seen the real person of Ethan Blackwood, and there were less than ten people present who had seen him before.
Harrison didn't even care about his father and went to greet him: "Third Master, you finally came. Look at everyone..."
"I'm here to find Old Master Wells." Ethan Blackwood didn't give face at all, bypassed Harrison, and went straight to the old man. He presented his gift and said, "Old Master, I want to talk to you alone about something
The old man had long been unable to stand Harrison and his wife's fake concern, and when he saw the rumored masked Lord of Hell Ethan Blackwood for the first time, he nodded and said, "Please."
Chad then pushed the wheelchair forward.
When the people had walked away, Harrison was dumbfounded. The others cheered and stood up, wanting to get a closer look at the true face of Third Master Blackwood. But Ethan walked quickly, and with his mask on, a bone-chilling cold wind followed him wherever he went, making no one dare to approach him.
...
After Sandra came in, she heard the guests at the banquet talking about Third Master Blackwood .Upon inquiry, she found out that the man she had just seen wearing a mask was him, and her jaw dropped in shock.
"That stinky girl Avery actually didn't tell me that Third Master Blackwood was still so young."
Never mind that he was young, but that half of his face was still so handsome!
She had originally wanted to go find Avery and argue with her, but her own selfishness stopped her from doing so. She wanted to secretly follow where Third Master Blackwood went.
The hall was bustling with many people walking around, offering toasts. Nobody noticed when Sandra sneaked in from the back hall. As she passed by an open bedroom that was far from the crowd, she suddenly remembered something. She took out a paper package from her pocket and tiptoed into the room. She opened the cup on the bedside table and emptied the contents of the paper package into the cup.
Then she sneaked towards the direction where the old man and Ethan had left, and after a few minutes, she stopped outside a small restaurant. The door was ajar, and he could see a man's towering figure with his back facing the door.
Sandra's heart fluttered as she watched, covering her face. "I didn't expect Third Young Master to be so young and handsome even from behind. If I were Avery , it would be great. He's rich and powerful. If he were mine..."
Thinking happily in her heart, Sandra knew that this man would soon be hers.
Nowadays, wealthy men, especially those as rich as Third Young Master Blackwood ,never lack women. Since Avery could be his woman, she could be too.
Five minutes later, the door opened, and Ethan and Chad came out. Sandra almost bumped into Ethan and saw the coldness in his eyes as he deliberately avoided her.
Sandra quickly stood firm and apologized. "I'm sorry, Third Young Master. I'm Avery's good friend. My name is Sandra Lee."
The man gave her a cold glance, pushed her away with a big hand, and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, she quickly grabbed him and said, "Third Master, Avery wants you to wait for her in the room ahead. She has something to tell you."
Ethan instinctively wanted to refuse, but upon hearing that Avery was looking for him, his furrowed brows slightly relaxed. "Where is she now?"
"Third Master, let me lead the way. I know where she is," Sandra smiled and happily walked ahead. "Should I wait for you outside?"
Since Third Master wanted to meet Miss Wells alone, Chad felt that he couldn't be a third wheel and had to retreat. Ethan responded faintly, "Hmm." Chad left first, and Sandra soon brought Ethan to the original bedroom.
The bedroom was empty, and Etna's face slightly darkened. "Where is Avery ? Isn't she waiting for me?"
Sandra quickly said, "She may have gone outside to get some wine. She just said she wanted to have a good drink with you. Please wait inside first. I'll go find her."
"Oh, and Third Master, if you feel thirsty, there is water in the room. Avery will be here soon," Sandra said before leaving.
As she left, she closed the door behind her. However, she didn't actually leave and left a gap in the door, allowing her to clearly see what was happening inside.
"Drink up, come on, drink the water," Sandra quietly observed Ethan through the gap, feeling as if ants were crawling all over her body when she saw that he hadn't drunk the water yet.
Two minutes later, she finally saw the man loosen his tie and pick up the glass of water from the cabinet.
"Hehe."
Sandra smiled.
Luckily, she was smart and had turned up the air conditioning when she first entered the room.
The temperature was already warm when she entered, and now it must be hot enough to make him thirsty.
Drink up, as soon as she finished that glass of water, she would be just like Avery , his woman.
Sandra peeked through the crack in the door, watching as Ethan finished his water, her eyes squinting with a smile.
In less than two minutes, this man would be hot and wanting a woman.
At that time, she would go in and he would not refuse him in his impulsive state.
However, just as she was planning all of this, a voice suddenly broke in from behind her.
"Aren't you Sandra Lee? What are you doing here?"
It was Alexis.
Alexis patted Sandra's shoulder, startling her with her guilty conscience.
"Nothing, I'm not doing anything."
"Go eat at the banquet, some seafood just arrived, you must like it." Alexis opened the door as she spoke, "I'm a little drunk and need to lie down for a while, I won't keep you company."
Alexis had a weak body and couldn't drink, but she had been persuaded to have a drink while entertaining guests just now.
Seeing Alexis go in, Sandra panicked and wanted to call her out, but she was too late.
Now Alexis was dizzy and had slammed the door shut.
"Alexis, come out, Alexis..." As soon as Sandra thought of how quickly the medicine would take effect after Mr. Blackwood drank the water, she became anxious. It would take less than two minutes for the drug to take effect. And now, a drunken woman was about to enter the room. The consequences were unimaginable. This was an opportunity that she had worked hard to create, and the thought of it falling into someone else's hands made her even more anxious.
But now the door wouldn't open. What should she do? She had an idea. She would go find Avery ! She had to hurry and get Avery to come and stop this from happening.
With that thought, Sandra turned around and ran outside. She found Avery staring at her phone screen on the steps and immediately pulled her up.
"Something's going to happen, come with me, quickly..."
"Is it my grandparents? What happened to them?"
Avery immediately thought that it was because Ethan hadn't come, and Harrison had taken his anger out on their grandparents.
Sandra was panting as she ran. "No, it's not them. It's Mr. Blackwood, he's with your sister..."
"He's with my sister?"
Avery couldn't imagine what had happened between her sister and Ethan. At most, Ethan was angry at her sister for something that had happened two days ago and had hit her.
But when she was dragged by Sandra to the door of the bedroom next door, she heard the heavy breathing of a man and a woman coming from inside. Avery froze on the spot.
