Chapter 1275
Cecilia just did not want to see Madelyn and Zach be together.She said, "Zach, once Southern Haven Villas is demolished, your child will be gone, and finally when Madelyn is dead, I'll be with you in this villa forever."The news of Liam's resignation spread throughout the entire Jardin Corporation. Among those most emotional about it was Blake.In the office, Blake, holding some meeting documents, walked up to Liam and questioned him, "Why did you resign? At first, I didn't believe it. I merely went upstairs for a meeting, and when I came back, I found out that you resigned."Liam, are you really cooperating with Cecilia?"Liam replied, "Blake, my return to the Xander family is inevitable, it's not because of Cecilia or you. Do you really think I'm that kind of a person? Do you think I have some ulterior motive in doing this and then forcing you to marry me?""We've known each other for so long and you still don't trust me!"Blake hesitated. She did not know how to respond. He

Cecilia and the man had sex until the middle of the night. She panted as he carried her to the bed. She had nothing on, with only a thin blanket covering her body.Exhausted, she immediately fell asleep after closing her eyes. After the man left, the huge villa finally quieted down.Cecilia woke up around noon. She supported her head as she stared at Zach beside her, who looked as if he was in a deep sleep. She ran her slender fingers across his handsome face. With his eyes closed, he lay still, breathing weakly.This reminded Cecilia of their past life when, after their intimate moments, she used to enjoy watching him sleep peacefully. However, Zach was always vigilant. No matter how late they finished their intimate act, he would not drift into a deep sleep. He would wake up at even the slightest sound. She could never caress his face like she was doing now.Aside from his capabilities, Zach's greatest advantage was his charming face that could captivate countless women.Whether

Cecilia continued, "Oh, by the way. That kid... Zach really cares a lot about that kid. So, I'll make whatever matters most to him disappear from this world.""Got it, Ms. Samford. I'll take care of it right away. Rest assured, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly tonight. I won't let you down." The man anticipated eagerly and smirked, "Ms. Samford, what do you think about the company's shares we discussed earlier?"Cecilia smirked and poked the man's shoulder with her finger. "Don't worry. You'll get the shares you want.""Alright, I'll take care of it now. Wait for my good news when it gets dark."'Southern Haven Villas has gone down the drain, and the kid is gone. Madelyn, I don't believe you won't show up when this news spreads like wildfire. You can't even protect your kid. I'd like to see when you plan to stop being a coward.'Madelyn was too soft-hearted. Even if it was not her own kid, she could not bear to see him get hurt. Cecilia thought, 'Even if you're hiding in th

In a dimly lit room with thick curtains drawn, the man lying in the bed had opened his eyes. However, he was currently unable to move his limbs. The nurse tended to him and moistened his lips with a cotton swab.Upon seeing someone entering, she said, "Dr. Stewart, the patient's condition is still the same. After we saved his life, he remains conscious but unable to move."Kai waved his hand, and the nurse left the room. He approached, sat by the bedside, and said, "Andrew, this is the first time I've earnestly called you that. You can hear me clearly now. At this point, I find it pointless. After all these years, with Zach as an example, I have no regrets about reaching this point."I have no connection with the Stewart family and am not your father's child. Back then, entering the Stewart family was a coincidence. I assumed Kai's identity when the real Kai died when he was wandering."My real surname is Blinken. Twenty years ago, enemies tried to kill me, but luckily, I survived.

Margaret glanced over and, to her surprise, saw a little kid coming down the stairs. She was startled by the sight of him standing up along the railing. She exclaimed, "Oh my! Little rascal, what are you up to? Weren't you playing with toy planes? When did you come down? If anything happens, how would I explain to Mr. Jardin and Ms. Jent?"Kai looked at the child and noticed he was also looking at him with clear eyes. However, he could tell at a glance that this child was far from simple. Despite being so young, there was mischief in those little eyes.Just then, Dalton held a photo and babbled unclear words to Kai. Margaret had been with him for a while and understood his temperament. Seeing this behavior, she knew something was up and brought Dalton to Kai. She said, "Dalton seems to like you. We rarely have outsiders at home, so seeing you is a novelty for him. Dalton, this is your uncle. Say 'uncle'."Kai raised his eyebrow and asked, "He can talk now?"Margaret proudly exclaim

Margaret shook her head. "I can't talk about this; I can't tell you. Besides, if anything goes wrong, how do I justify it to Mr. Jardin?"Kai was both angry and amused. "You do trust him a lot..."Margaret replied, "Of course. Mr. Jardin said that when he comes back, he'll give me a bonus. With that, I can spoil my grandson and buy lots of nice things for him."Kai thought, 'It's indeed rare to see someone being so loyal to Zach. There are all sorts of people with ill intentions around him. Having such a dedicated helper is indeed worth taking such a risk.'"I won't force you if you don't want to tell me. Zach trusts you very much, and so will I." Kai did not expect he would give in to a maid.He took out his phone and showed Margaret a message. "Look at it properly. We're on the same side. It won't do me any good to harm you all."Margaret rolled her eyes. "What does it say? I can't read."Her response left Kai speechless. "Fine."Margaret was worried Kai had some bad intentio

Dalton slowly stopped crying. But after crying for so long, his face had become red from it, and there were still tears and mucus on his face.Margaret was too nervous to speak because she finally heard Madelyn's voice after not being in contact with her for a very long time. She felt uneasy.Madelyn sat on the bed with a blanket covering her legs. "Dal, it's mommy. Do you still remember my voice?"Dalton said unclearly in baby talk, "Ma... Mama..."Kai said to Margaret, "You can leave now. I'll call for you later."Margaret responded, "Okay, I'll be outside. Let me know if you need anything."After Margaret left, Kai wanted to take the phone. But Dalton held it tightly, unwilling to let it go.Madelyn could feel that Dalton truly regarded her as his mother as she listened to his incomprehensible baby talk on the phone. He said many things, but she did not understand them.Madelyn's gentle voice was soothing as she said, "Dal, mommy is around you. You need to listen to Margaret
Chapter 1282
Margaret had a habit of getting up at night to check on Dalton. She had been sleeping in the room next to his room so that it was more convenient for her to take care of him.She, fully dressed, got out of bed and walked toward Dalton's room. She then saw his door was open. Margaret began to feel that something was seriously wrong. "Oh my, oh my, Dalton."Where did you go again?"Margaret, panicked, rushed downstairs. As she walked down, she smelled a strong odor of gas.It was then that she realized something was really wrong. Her drowsiness immediately vanished, and she was now fully awake. "This is bad. I need help! Something is wrong!"Margaret then turned on all the lights in the villa. With his hand under his head lying down in the room, Kai immediately opened his eyes when he heard the scream. He put on his shirt and walked out of the room. He could also smell the unusual odors that filled the air. He then covered his nose and walked down the stairs.The scene on the first
