Liam looked at his phone and felt some discomfort. He thought to himself, 'We shouldn't be acting so distant like this, Blake.'After fifteen seconds, Blake received Liam's reply. However, Blake had placed her phone down. She was busy cleaning up the clothes in the house. When she heard her phone ring, she did not bother because she knew Liam would reject her leave application.After a while, Liam sent her another message. Blake was carrying a basket full of dirty laundry and walking into the bathroom to wash the clothes. Then, she cleaned the entire living room.By the time she finished doing everything, Blake saw that it was almost eleven. The things she had bought from the supermarket filled the entire refrigerator. Then, Blake took off her gloves and looked at the clean floor while drenched in sweat. To be honest, she had never cleaned a house like this before.Besides that, she was boiling some vegetable soup in a pot. After this, she still needed to go to the drugstore to buy

Blake held on to those files and pictures. She could even see herself coming and going to work with Liam in the photos. She said guiltily, "Why did you arrange for someone to take these pictures? Are you scheming something, Kevin? Could you tell me what it is? I might be able to help."Kevin calmly glanced at the pictures. He replied weakly, "Not just you; every move Cecilia has made must be under my control. Knowing too much about this will not benefit you. I'm letting you know the goal behind these pictures in order for you to understand that you are already involved in this mess. It wouldn't be so easy for you to leave now, even if you wanted to. Cecilia might make a move on you at any moment. You understand?"Blake nodded her head solemnly, "I understand, but I'm not a coward."She sat beside him and pulled his hand under the blanket. Blake held onto his hand tightly and said, "If anything bad happens, I still want to endure it with you. If it has anything to do with you, I'll n

"So what the hell did Mr. Jardin leave in his will that could have made Cecilia have someone wound you so severely? Let me see your wounds. It hurts me every time I see it," Blake said.Kevin started answering her questions while trying to piece together everything that happened, "On the day of the incident, everyone had the leisure of panicking, but I couldn't. If news of Mr. Jardin's incident were to spread, this would affect the millions of employees of Jardin Corporations, both overseas and local."Hearing him say this, Blake noticed that all this time, she sounded very immature. She always complained about Kevin's coldness but kept forgetting how heavy his burdens really were."If it was truly for the will, it still doesn't sound right. You're Mr. Jardin's most trusted right hand man, so why didn't he just tell you? What intrigues me the most is what was written on the will. Could it be an inheritance?" Blake was still observing Kevin's expression when she asked, "Do you know e

Blake had a rare peaceful slumber. She was curled up in the bed. When she stretched, she felt the spot next to her on the bed was cold. Blake was suddenly reminded of something and immediately opened her eyes. She saw that Kevin was missing and had swiftly woken up. She ran out to the living room without putting on her slippers and saw Kevin in the kitchen.Blake let out a sigh of relief. When she saw him in his pajamas pouring water from a jug, she quickly walked over. She took over the jug and helped him pour a cup of water."Here you go," Blake gestured.Kevin took over the cup of water from Blake and saw her bare feet. He chided her, "Take care of your appearance; go and put on some shoes."Blake had just woken up, and her hair was a mess. She scratched her head and muttered, "I was just worried you had run away."After that, she followed Kevin out of the kitchen. She nagged him, "Your wounds are going to take a few days to heal. There's no more bandage and gauze at home so wh

Cecilia's eyes narrowed, "I'll give you three more days at most."The person gritted their teeth and said with determination, "Okay, Ms. Samford."'Madelyn, you better stay hidden this time and never show your face again. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to end you. Everyone who backs you up this time will meet the same fate as those who supported you in the previous life. They'll all drop like flies because of you.'After Cecilia wrapped up things at the company, she headed to the hospital. The whole twentieth floor was reserved. In the monitored ward, with bodyguards at every turn, a nurse had just finished administering medicine to the man lying unconscious on the bed. She then walked out with the discarded medical supplies and happened to meet Cecilia, who was walking to the ward. "Ms. Samford."Seeing the tray in her hands, Cecilia frowned, "Thanks for all your hard work. How's Zach's condition?"The nurse looked young, and Cecilia had not seen her before. She checked out the nurs

Laughter echoed through the ward. Cecilia said, "Madelyn is truly useless. She's gotten a second chance at life. She wanted to change, but what did she manage to change? The Jent family fell, Hayson died, you're by my side, and Jardin Corporation remains mine. As long as I find the will you left for Madelyn, I'll nip it in the bud before you wake up. Even in this lifetime, I'll ensure you two can never be together again."Cecilia leaned in, whispering slowly into Zach's ear, "This is payback for what you owed me in the past life."For some reason, Blake's eyelid suddenly twitched when she pushed the shopping cart. A sudden rush of anxiety filled her heart, giving her a bad feeling. She rarely experienced this kind of foreboding. Whenever she did, it usually meant something unfavorable was about to happen.Blake spent a calm evening with Kevin, which was rare. She bought a bunch of ingredients, planning to make a candlelit dinner that night. She even opened a bottle of Kevin's stored

Blake immediately stood up, almost getting angry at his blunt approach. "Are you stupid? Can't you have a bit of tact? I just wanted you to compliment me by saying, 'You look beautiful tonight.' Why's that so hard for you to get?"Blake gestured with both hands from her waist down to her hip area. "Am I not sexy? Don't I look good?"Watching her frustrated expression, Kevin said calmly, "I don't know if you're considered good-looking now. Since the dinner is ready, let's eat." After finishing, Kevin, who wore sleepwear and lacked any romantic flair, stood up and left the study.Only a few tube lights were on in the dim living room, creating a romantic atmosphere. The rose petals were scattered around the dining table. Whether a man or a woman, no one could remain indifferent in this kind of setting. However, Kevin was unromantic.Blake looked at Kevin as he turned on the lights. He said, "How can we eat with the lights off? You can't see anything!"Blake scowled and turned off the

The inability to vent, tormenting to the point of driving Kevin insane.He had encountered various women. After all, the transactions were either about money or women in the business-oriented world. He had witnessed some debauched situations, but over the years, he never got involved with those women, especially the attractive ones. He believed the more attractive a woman with no background, the more likely she would become a bargaining chip eventually. He never got involved with those who had multiple sexual partners."Blake, I'm warning you for the last time. Stop this!"Blake picked up the red wine from the dining table, drank more than half a glass, then passed it to him from her mouth, "It's such an expensive wine. It'll be a waste if you don't drink with me."After saying that, she poured a little more and pretended to spill it on his neck accidentally. "Look, why am I so clumsy? I accidentally spilled the wine here. Shall I help you lick it clean?"Blake sat against his ere
