By the time Faye and Cedric stepped out of Taylor's study, the party had already ended. Most guests were unaware of Blake's actions. Still, the fact that Sandra was called away in the middle of the banquet still raised suspicions. Some guests happened to walk past the private room and seemed to have seen something. Rumors started to spread. Some said that Margot did something horrible, while some others speculated that Margot was involved with Felton. It was claimed that two were discovered by Blake. Some even said that Lovers' Poison had once again emerged in the market. Faye only caught wind of these from Avery the next day. Gossip had always been something to be feared. The matter wasn't something to be discussed publicly. With others bending the truth, the Reed family would find themselves in a difficult situation regardless if they chose to clarify. "Babe, what happened yesterday with the Reed family? I know you were there, so tell me," Avery asked on the phone. Fa
Jason wasn't looking this way. Yet, Avery was already panicking. At this moment, Cecilia ran over and leaned on her. She then waved at Jason. Avery was terrified. Her eyes widened, and she froze in place. When Jason turned to look over, she could feel her blood running cold. She kept thinking to herself for him to not approach them.However, what she feared most was bound to happen. Not only was Jason heading in their direction, he seemed to be heading straight for Cecilia. Instantly, Avery wished she could hide herself. "Handsome Uncle, it really is you …" Cecilia's eyes lit up. She excitedly climbed over the fences. Her face, the spitting image of Jason's, was filled with joy. Jason's heart melted at the sight. The somber expression on his face eased into gentleness. He crouched before Cecilia and picked her up, a smile playing on his lips. "It's been a while, little one.""It's been some time, Handsome Uncle. Haha …" She giggled and took out a piece of candy fr
"Babe! Why didn't you tell me that Cece ran into Jason before? Oh my god, you are going to get me killed!"When Faye received a phone call from Avery, she was on the way to Reed Manor. The events that transpired with the Reed family were hardly her business. Still, Sandra wanted to ask Faye about Lovers' Poison and summoned her. "Hm? What's wrong? Did you run into him?" Faye drove with one hand and held her phone with another, a smile playing on her lips. "So you did know about it!" Avery shouted. "You horrible woman! Why didn't you tell me? I'm going out of my mind now! If I didn't confront Cecilia, I wouldn't even know that you've been hiding so much from me.""Is that important? Jason wouldn't discover that he is Cecilia's father. If he runs into you, you won't admit it either, so why are you panicking?" Faye asked."Had I known about it, I would have known how to handle it. The problem here is that I didn't know anything. We just ran into him at the mall today and when
Flora's health had improved significantly recently. The housekeeper hired by Faye and the bodyguards hired by Cedric kept her company at all times. She was now able to go to the office. She started to familiarize herself with the company's operations. Thus, she started to engage with the management.With tasks to focus on, Flora had a speedy recovery and she was doing great. Upon receiving a call from Faye, Flora's face lit up with joy. "Darling, aren't you busy today? Why do you have time to call me?"Faye beamed. "I just wrapped up work. I realized I hadn't heard your voice in several days. I'm just wondering what you are up to."Flora chuckled. "I just visited the office and am about to go home. When will you and Cedric be finished with your work?" she asked in anticipation. She was bored alone at home and missed Faye and Cedric."We are almost done. We should be back in a few days," Faye said, then changed the subject. "Mommy, I want to see you.""Silly child, it
When Faye arrived at the hospital, Victor was in the operation room. Lukas sat in front of the door with his head bowed, looking exhausted. When he noticed Faye, he looked up. "Faye, you are finally here … I'm sorry, but the state my uncle was in was just too scary, and I …"She shook her head. "It's okay. Don't panic. Tell me what happened to your uncle."Lukas nodded and took a deep breath. "Recently, he would take a walk every morning and night at the park near our place. At first, he would get tired after just a few steps, but now he can occasionally run two laps. In hopes of having you cure him, he has been working really hard to get stronger. "This morning, when I accompanied him on his morning run, he said he wanted to run an extra lap. After he finished, he looked energized. I even complimented him on getting stronger. "To my surprise, he puked blood when he went home to shower. I only happened upon the blood stain when I went into the bathroom to look for somethi
After inquiring with the doctors about the current situation, Lukas headed out to learn that Faye had already left. Before she left, she told Lukas to keep her identity a secret and shot him a stern look. "I did a blood transfusion, so I'm a bit tired. I don't want to deal with them, understand?"Lukas was grateful for her help. He was reminded that she had come to help Victor, only to end up donating her blood. Feeling guilty, he agreed to any request she had. It wasn't until the doctors stepped out that he realized Faye had done far more than a blood transfusion for Victor. Feeling moved, he felt as though Faye was truly a goddess. When Faye returned home, she felt tired. She took a brief shower before going to sleep. After waking up, she came to realize that she hadn't completed her investigation. It was getting dark outside, and she was starving. She planned to order takeout and continued working. Just then, Cedric called. "Where are you?" he asked in a pleasant
Faye didn't attend Damien's gourmet tasting event with Cedric. Instead, she went with Avery. Avery brought Cecilia along. When the three arrived at the entrance of the upscale dessert shop that was hosting the event, a crowd had already gathered in the courtyard.The white tables were adorned with lively checkered tablecloths, complemented by white chairs and several rotating tables filled with various delicacies.As soon as Cecilia entered, she couldn't contain her excitement and started munching on pastries. With her mouth full, she waved to Avery and Faye. "Mo—Avery, Faye, come! The food is amazing ..."With her mouth full of delicious treats, she looked overjoyed and slurred her words. Avery looked at her adoringly and walked over to pat her head. "Eat slowly. There's a lot of food here. Don't eat too much.""Mm, mm ..." Cecilia nodded in contentment. While grabbing a handful of popcorn from the table for children, she even started feeding Avery. "Avery, you shoul
When Faye clapped, Zara was startled and Tracy turned around. Spotting Faye, Tracy panicked. She took two steps back as she stole a glance at the young man sitting beside her. He was sipping tea with his head down."Faye, I didn't say anything. I didn't mean anything … I am just really happy that these girls like you so much."Faye nodded. "Thank you, sister.""I really didn't mean anything. I ..." Tracy said.She lowered her head and started to wipe away her tears pitifully. Faye simply retrieved what she had left on her chair and prepared to leave without a word. However, Zara stopped her. "Ms. Brown, aren't you going to explain yourself?"She regarded Faye as her role model. If she turned out to be a horrible person, she wouldn't admire her no matter how outstanding she was. At this moment, Faye's indifference and refusal to acknowledge others upset her. Was Tracy right, or was there something else?"What should I say?" Faye glanced at Zara. "Those who are inno
