Standing, the two ladies slowly walked into the study of George and sat in the leather chairs in front of the desk as George closed the door and returned to his desk. After a long silence, George finally spoke.“I hope you two are happy. The family may have just indivertibly lost the only savior of the Westons.”The two women were taken back. ‘How could Blake be the savior of the Westons? Wasn’t he only a small-time business owner now? Before, he was only a delivery guy.’“Father, are you maybe mistaken? Blake’s only a small business owner who got that with Elon Trust’s help.” Julie tried to correct her father.Not wanting to divulge too much, George answered with a question.“How do you think he acquired his business?”“Why through Mr. Wheaton, of course. When he went to his family coronation of the new head of the family, he was associated with him, and he proposed a business plan and got the business for himself.” Julie said, thinking back to Blake’s explanation.“And how close is
Steve Anderson had been awaiting news from his man. He even went to the man’s office but found it closed and locked. After inquiring about his whereabouts, it seemed that he had disappeared after that night. Steve bashed his desk in anger without knowing what to do or how to get in touch.‘That bastard must have skipped town with the pictures. Will he blackmail the Weston family himself and leave me out of it? Regardless, the outcome will be the same, but what about my pictures.’ Steve pondered then an evil smile came across his face. ‘I’ll have to make some new ones later. I’ve been avoiding Claire for this long. Maybe I should arrange a meeting with the excuse of being too busy with work.’When he was thinking of contacting Claire, a knock on his office door came with his new secretary entering. She was a middle-aged woman, around forty, who his father had assigned him because his work was slacking. She was Barbra Justine, and she had Blond hair, a good complexion, a small body that
“I know I have made a great mistake, and I will try my best to make it up to him. I only now realize that I love him.” Claire said in between sobbing.Sylvia moved away from Claire after she calmed down and wiped her tears. Looking at Claire with pity, she asked her a question.“Where has Blake been staying when he’s thrown out of the home?”Claire then looked at Sylvia with hope. She knew he stayed at The Lotus Suites for a duration.“Thank you,” Claire said, rising from her seat.“He may not be there, but you can try and see,” Sylvia said, knowing fully well that Blake was in the small world and not in his suite. “Okay, I have a lot to do, and you have a husband to find.”When Claire left, Sylvia returned to her office and sat with a sinister smile behind the desk.“Play with my Blake’s feelings? Though I can’t do anything to you, don’t think I can’t send you on a wild goose chase.”Claire arrived at The Lotus Suites, went to the reception, and inquired about Blake’s room.Carol smi
Blake was in the small world, cultivating and enhancing his combat skills. His mind became more evident as time progressed and his heart colder. This was the Blake that led troops into combat and arranged many missions. His aura became more intuned to the power of his body.“Your skills are becoming more profound. You are getting quicker, have more control of Quick Step, and can wield two swords in each hand indefinitely.” Tabby said, watching him destroy another mountain in the distance.“Yes, well, I’ve broken through the fourth stage of body sculpting in the Life Destruction Cultivation.” Said Blake as he withdrew his swords and walked over to Tabby. “I don’t need to worry about small arms at the moment, and I’m only beginning to understand the energy of my Dantian.”Blake went through the restructuring of his blood and muscles. He had transformed his bones to steel, and his skin was tough as iron by completing the first three levels of body sculpting and was working on the middle
Taking a deep breath, Claire explained how that faithful night progressed, detailing everything Claire and Steve did to one another. Tabitha was shocked by what her sister did with another man and was deeply upset over her sister’s actions but kept quiet as Claire continued to explain how Blake took great care of her when she was in pain and unable to walk correctly. Her realizing that Blake was always there for her and cared for her. Coming to this part of her explanation, tears began to swell into her eyes again, knowing she had lost a good man.“That’s when I decided not to pursue Steve anymore and work on my marriage with Blake; he had already found out.”“How did he find out about you and Steve?”“After confronting the two women and straightening the misunderstanding at the doctor’s office where we met. He was sitting in that chair waiting for me with an envelope with pictures and video of Steve and me with the divorce papers and a bank card. I’m not sure who gave it to him, but
“What’s the matter?”Julie asked.“How can you two live like this? What have you done to the kitchen? Don’t you only order takeout?” Tabitha gasped over the unsanitary conditions of the kitchen.“Leave it for the cleaners tomorrow,” Julie said, rolling her eyes. She did have someone from the cleaning company, but when they arrived, they wanted more people and money to do the job, and she refused and decided to call around more, but she didn’t want the girls to know.“Forget it. Let’s go eat out my treat. I finished my exams and want to celebrate.” Tabitha said, making a call as she walked out and made the personal call from the bathroom.She called her BMW company to arrange for a car and driver, knowing they were all going to drink and needed a reliable driver for the night. The three got ready for the dinner date; it was a long time since all three had been together for a family meal, and when the time to leave came, a BMW M2 and a female driver arrived in front of their home.“Who’s
“What an excellent view,” Julie exclaimed.“Oh, how romantic. How I wish someone would bring me there for a date.” Tabitha said, looking dreamy at the scene on the pond.All the women’s attention was brought to the romantic atmosphere, and they sighed in their hearts, wanting the same as the woman receiving this treatment.“Forget it. Let’s order.” Sylvia said, looking into the menu.The women ordered their drinks and were having small talk when the maître d’ arrived in front of Sylvia.“Pardon the interruption. Would you happen to be Miss. Sylvia Elon?”“Yes, is there a problem?”“The gentleman would like to apologize for being extremely late and would like you to join him.”Sylvia looked at the women and excused herself. This was the reason she was here, to have a business meeting.Sylvia followed the maître d’ out of the balcony, and he guided her towards the small bridge leading to the island’s gazebo. Even though she was confused about the maître d’’s actions, she continued to fo
“I’m sorry, Sylvia, for all this interruption. But you may not know they are here to cause trouble, and I’ll have security escort them out.” Steve said as he motioned to one of the staff to come over.“Do not use my name as you please. We are not that close, we only met once, and I’m still not impressed. As for the relations between you and the Westons, I’m fully aware.” Sylvia said angrily. “Also, when you meet my cousin Blake, I believe you owe him your head, large and small.” Sylvia then rose from her seat.“Miss. Elon, Sylvia, there must be a misunderstanding; how could that trash be your cousin?” Steve was surprised by this information and couldn’t believe it.“Believe it or not, there is no misunderstanding, Blake Elon is my cousin, and Tabitha is my sister; what else is there to explain?” Sylvia said casually.Not only Steve. Claire and Julie were shocked over this news, and both mother and daughter looked at Tabitha with questioning looks while Steve shook his head in denial.
