Blake's POV
During this period, I reorganized the company's personnel. Although I couldn't kick out all the traitors, at least, I wouldn't let Richard have the opportunity to plant new people into the company. Investigating the pack and the company was a very troublesome matter. At present, I had only made a small victory. The future confrontation would be even crueler. I was prepared. Next, I would talk to Richard in person. Dowen had already arranged my schedule for me. I would take the plane tomorrow afternoon to meet Richard. It was dark. In the blink of an eye, it was already past eleven at night. Snow covered the entire city. On the way home, I looked through the car window quietly. At this time, most people must have fallen asleep. I remembered that not long ago, my attitude towards marriage was still very negative. I always felt that it would waste my precious time, and it would wear down my willpower to work hard. Yet I hadBlake's POV I had breakfast and was ready to go to the company to deal with some work. Then I went directly to the airport from the company. "Daddy, are you going out without Mommy?" Hedwig suddenly ran over and asked me. I nodded. "Yes, I have a very important matter to deal with. I'm not going on a trip, so I won't bring Catherine. She'll stay with you guys at home." Catherine came over and held Hedwig's hand. Catherine smiled gently and said, "Hedwig, when Blake is finished with his business, he will return." "Alright. Daddy, I will miss you. You must miss me." Hedwig blinked her big eyes. I squatted and stroked her long hair. I promised softly, "Okay, I will miss you and Noah. You have to listen to Catherine at home. When I come back, I will bring you gifts." "Okay," Hedwig laughed happily. I turned and left. I didn't want to leave when I sat in the car and looked at Catherine and the two children standing at the door.
Third People's POV At this moment, Richard returned to the villa with a gloomy expression. Emily had been waiting anxiously in the living room. When she saw the car return, she was filled with expectations. When she saw the angry Richard get out of the car alone, she knew that her expectation had been in vain. Didn't Blake come? Emily was extremely disappointed. Although she knew that Richard wasn't sincere in picking up Blake, she still hoped that Blake would come over. She would be thrilled even if Blake just came for a cup of coffee. From the looks of it, Blake was not even in the mood to come over for coffee. "Richard." Emily walked over quickly and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did he make you angry again?" Richard didn't hide his anger and frustration in front of his daughter. "This arrogant brat doesn't respect me at all. In a few years, I'm afraid he will look down on me even more. Just thinking about it makes me annoyed." Emi
Third People's POV In the president's office, Blake sat in his chair and read the documents beside him. Dowen walked in and said softly, "King Blake, you were right. Emily is here." However, Blake mocked coldly, "Richard will make her the weapon again." "Richard must be flattering himself. The relationship between you and Emily is over. Moreover, you've found your mate. How could you be tempted by Emily?" Dowen couldn't help but mock Richard, feeling that he had gone crazy. Blake said calmly, "I'm not interested in her!" Half an hour had passed, and Emily began to panic. She looked at the door frequently, hoping that the tall and handsome Blake would walk in through the door. Blake deliberately ignored her. Another 30 minutes had passed, and he still didn't go to see her. Instead, it took him another twenty minutes before he walked to the lounge. When he opened the door and saw the woman standing with her back to him, he was
Catherine's POV Ten o'clock in the morning. I received a call, which shocked and surprised me. It was from Troy. I thought that he would scold me hard over the call. But surprisingly, he was gentle. He said that he wanted to invite me for lunch. He also said that my foster mother left things for me and he would bring them to me over lunch. I was so surprised that I didn't know how to answer him, but Troy seemed to be very sincere, as if all the grudges were gone, and I was still his beloved daughter. It felt surreal. "Cathy, let's have lunch together. I really want to apologize to you." When Troy found that I didn't answer, there was a hint of pleading in his tone. "Don't you hate me?" After that accident, I was getting more vigilant toward people. Troy was my foster father, but there was a deep grudge between us. I wouldn't meet him easily. "I don't hate you anymore. It was all Gina's fault. She is too ambitious. You have al
Blake's POV I didn't waste my time. I met many people. Many of them were Richard's sworn enemies. I wanted to learn more about the things Marc did in the company and the wolf pack. These people were once the backbone of the royal wolf pack. They all worked for Marc. After Richard took over the company, he found all kinds of excuses to get rid of these people. The rule of a new manager leading new employees applied to all occasions. I wanted to use Richard after he got out of prison to investigate the relationship between Marc and him. I wanted to find some evidence to find out if there was someone behind Marc's mistakes. A few years ago, I was busy taking over the company and the wolf pack. In addition, Richard was locked up in prison. I had to deal with all kinds of things and I was not in the mood to think about it. Now, Richard had been released from prison, and the company and the wolf pack were stabilized under my control. In addition, I knew the r
Catherine's POV I just had a meal with Troy, but the next afternoon, he called me again. Although I didn't want to go, I had to because I agreed with him. This time, Troy did not book a private room, and we ate in the hall. I didn't care about it. Troy was the first to arrive. When I came, I asked him, "Didn't you say there was someone else?" "Yes, he hasn't come yet. Cathy, have some coffee first!" Cathy placed a cup of coffee in front of me. Just as the atmosphere became a little strange, an elegant voice sounded. "Surprise!" I looked up and saw Nick. He pulled out a chair opposite me and sat down. "Why are you here?" I was shocked. Troy smiled and said, "Cathy, he is my new boss, Nick! You should have known each other long ago!" I frowned. How could I not know Nick? Blake had always told me to stay away from him. "Catherine, what a coincidence!" Nick wore an elegant and friendly smile as he spoke to me
Catherine's POV Early in the morning... Blake and I got up and helped Hedwig and Noah change their clothes. When they saw Blake, their little faces were full of happy smiles. "Daddy, did you come back yesterday? Did you bring me a gift?" Hedwig ran over and held Blake's thigh as usual. She raised her little head and asked expectantly. "Sorry, Hedwig, I came back in a hurry this time and didn't have time to buy a gift for you. Let's go shopping tonight, okay? Whatever you want, I will buy it for you." Blake had promised Hedwig to buy her a gift, but perhaps he was in a hurry and forgot about it. "Well, Mommy said that you are very busy at work now. Daddy, play with me after you finish work. It's OK." Hedwig was sensible and didn't make a scene like before. Blake squatted down and kissed Hedwig's forehead. "Hedwig, my good girl." Patricia and I watched and also praised Hedwig. Emerson came out of the elevator in a wheelc
Blake's POV After I left, I went straight to Leo's company. When Leo saw me, a look of surprise flashed across his face. "Blake, why are you here?" "I have something to tell you," I said in a low voice. "Well, you came at the right time. I was about to go out!" Leo smiled and immediately asked someone to bring a cup of coffee. I took a sip of the coffee, and the strong bitter aroma made me feel refreshed. "Leo, there is something I have never told you. I won't hide it from you. You have the right to know," I said. There was a flash of surprise in Leo's eyes. He asked seriously, "What else are you hiding from me?" "'The truth of Marc's betrayal," I whispered. "What?" Leo exclaimed, "Is there a problem?" "Yes. Maybe someone made him do so," I said sadly. Leo frowned. "Blake, who are you suspecting?" "Richard!" "Is it really him?" Leo was very angry. "Damn scum!" "Now we still need to fin
The media exposed Mirabel's arrest, a move deliberately orchestrated by Leo. He wanted every woman envious of Sunny to understand—jealousy was acceptable, but crossing the line to harm others was not.The incident caused a sensation on the internet. A huge weight lifted from Sunny's heart—now that the mastermind was found, she no longer had to live in fear.The next day, Sunny waited for a producer in the lobby.With the storm subsiding, she decided to resume her role in the historical drama she had previously taken on, throwing herself back into her work wholeheartedly.As she focused on studying the script, someone suddenly snatched it from her hands.Accompanying the action was a familiar, mocking voice, "Tsk, still not giving up? After being dumped by Leo, you still dream of being the leading role?"The script thief was her stepsister, Tasha. Dressed in a pink woolen coat, Tasha looked innocent but couldn't hide her sharp ton
Sunny's probing and provocation at the company today already made Mirabel realize something was wrong.She didn't expect Sunny to stoop to such underhanded tactics, even hiring fake cops to extract information from her. What's worse, she actually confessed her true feelings."Sunny, why don't you just die?" Mirabel seethed with hatred, gritting her teeth and flinging the script in her hand.Leo and Sunny were still at the company. Leo ordered some food.Upon opening it, Sunny found it filled with her favorite foods, which momentarily stunned her.Seeing her holding the chopsticks but not eating, Leo quirked his lips. "Don't get emotional yet. Lately, my taste aligns with yours. What you love, I love too."The happiness that had welled up inside Sunny sank back down.Maybe she was overthinking things.Ever since she met Leo, she'd become more and more sentimental, which wasn't a good thing.Lost in thought, Leo murmured,
Mirabel's steps froze, her blood seemingly turning to ice. She didn't dare turn around, instead quickly entering the dressing room.Sunny observed Mirabel's reaction and was convinced she was guilty. After her observation, she swiftly returned to Leo's office.Leo came back after the meeting and saw Sunny there. He put down his documents and asked, "Any findings?""Yes. I suspect Mirabel. When I mentioned the culprits' confession, she turned as pale as a sheet," Sunny reported her discovery to Leo."Oh? Mirabel?" A cold gleam flashed in Leo's eyes."Just a suspicion. Can you look into it?" Sunny looked at him hopefully."If we have a target, there are ways," Leo said with a cold smile. "We can play a little game.""What game?" Sunny was curious."Just wait and see. I'll arrange for someone to test her," Leo said confidently."You're not thinking of getting someone to pretend to be a police officer, are you? That would be
Mirabel had harbored secret feelings for Leo for a long time. Despite never getting close to him, she never gave up hope.She believed that as long as she stayed in the company, she would eventually get the chance to work with Leo and enact the passionate romance in real life that she could not achieve.But Leo's words shattered her hopes completely.Mirabel was consumed with anger and hatred, wishing she could see Sunny suffer a thousand deaths.She spent a large amount of money to hire someone to ruin Sunny after Leo and Sunny broke up—either by ruining her innocence or disfiguring her.Unfortunately, both attempts failed.Now, Mirabel felt guilty and uneasy whenever she saw Sunny and Leo together.But her burning resentment almost drove her to lose her sanity.Sunny felt a chill and turned to see Mirabel and some other female stars chatting at the lounge bar.She frowned, wondering if it was just a trick of the
Time flies, and several days passed.One day, Sunny and Leo received a police call informing them that the two criminals who had fled abroad had been apprehended.The indignation that had been weighing on Leo's mind was finally lifted.If not for respecting the legal boundaries, he would have sought them out for investigation and given those bastards a taste of their own medicine, making them feel the sting of a knife.But to ensure the longevity of the business, one must operate within the law, a principle Blake knew well and that Leo also kept in mind.Richard could have received a lighter sentence years ago, but Emerson, considering his status as the heir to the Royal Pack and his youth, let him serve a five-year term.This was the root of Richard's resentment. He knew that with Emerson's influence, he could have avoided prison.But Emerson upheld justice and dealt with him strictly, which fueled Richard's discontent.Upon a
Both lost in thought, Catherine and Halsey sat in silence for a while.After a period of silence, Catherine managed to suppress her distress, glanced at the second-floor guest room, and whispered, "Dad, were you and Blake's dad really good friends back then?""Yes, we got along pretty well," Halsey nodded, lowering his voice as well.Although they were in the yard, some distance away from the guest room, they still worried Blake might overhear.Catherine asked again in a hushed tone, "Then, how well do you know his dad's story?"Catherine was curious. She knew Blake's father had been betrayed in his marriage by Olivia, but she wasn't clear on the specifics. Maybe her dad knew something.Halsey's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected his daughter to ask this."I know a little," Halsey replied. Although he didn't want to revisit the past, he couldn't hide it from his daughter."Then, do you think his dad was a good person?" Ca
Catherine was content with Blake's indifferent expression."I'll take a photo and send it to the kids," Catherine said, snapping several shots of Blake without his consent.Blake's deep gaze shifted to her, his indifference softening."Come here!"Catherine's eyes widened in surprise, but she obediently sat beside him."Let's take one together." Blake grabbed her phone, lifted it, and pulled her into his arms before she could pose.Before Catherine could react, Blake took several photos."Hey..." Catherine was confused about his intentions.Blake swiftly sent the photos to Abigail.Catherine's eyes widened in anger. She immediately asked, "Did you make me look ugly in those photos?"Blake shrugged and said, "You're always beautiful in my eyes.""Let me check the photos!" Catherine lunged for the phone. Upon seeing the photos, she was nearly incensed.Blake looked good from every angle, smirking hands
"Yep! When a person can face what they dread most, it shows their growing tolerance," Blake said with a smile.Catherine sighed softly and grasped his fingers. "Blake, thank you for changing for me. I hope I can do the same for you someday."Blake nodded. "Sure, I'm looking forward to it as well."Catherine smiled. "Hopefully, it won't be too hard.""Nothing tough, just fulfilling Hedwig's wish for a younger brother or sister," Blake teased.Sure enough, Catherine's face flushed with fear. She was scared."Are you serious?" Currently, Catherine dreaded having more children. With Noah and Hedwig still young and demanding care, the thought of another baby sent her into anxiety.Blake, seeing her fear, chuckled. "Just joking, don't take it seriously!"Catherine exhaled. "No more joke like that again!""Alright, I won't!" Blake gently squeezed her hand and then asked earnestly, "Truly, no more kids?""One boy and one
Catherine said emotionally, "Blake, meeting you is my greatest fortune."Blake, hearing her rare emotional words, smiled and said, "Is this a confession?""Yeah, thousands of words can't express how much I like you. I feel my soul is engraved with your name." Catherine said seriously, but it sounded like a romantic story, making Blake want to laugh." Oh? Is that so?" The man was delighted, with a smile on his face. "Alright, I'll find you again and marry you in the next life.""Really?" Catherine, relieved that he agreed as if it were a major decision, felt at ease. Blake promised, "Yes, I believe our bond isn't over yet."Catherine giggled, feeling she'd shifted the mood, and quickly speared a piece of delicious fish onto his plate. "Let's eat."Blake looked at the fish, a gentle expression flashing across his face. He picked up his cutlery, ate the fish, and found it tasty.After dinner, they strolled in the hotel's garden before h
