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 meCatherine'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
Catherine's POV I was just reaching out to respond to Blake's hug when Patricia's voice suddenly came from the stairs. "Why are you two hugging each other here? There are still children at home. Isn't it too much for you two to do this?" Patricia's voice startled me, and I quickly pushed Blake away. When Blake heard Patricia's voice, his body tensed up. Then, he let go of me and walked toward the bedroom. "What happened to him?" Seeing that Blake had not even greeted her, Patricia was stunned. I hastily chuckled and said, "He might be a little tired from work. Patricia, don't mind him." "Of course not. He has made me mad countless times since he was young," Patricia smiled. I laughed softly, "I'll check on him." Then, I held his coat and walked quickly to the bedroom. I opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa with a blank face. His eyes were glistening with tears. I was shocked. "What happened to you?" I
Blake's POV One night had passed. The first thing I did when I came to the company was to ask about the results of Dowen's investigation, but the results were irritating. "We have investigated all the properties under Olivia's name. She is still nowhere to be found. King Blake, do we need to expand the scope?" Dowen asked me nervously. "Who is with her? Can others use the people around her to threaten her? Does she have any children?" I had been busy looking for Olivia and forgot to investigate her further. Last time, Patricia asked me to look into her background, but I only had some brief information about her and didn't pay attention to such details. However, Dowen shook his head. "When I investigated her last time, I mentioned that she had never given birth to a child. So, she doesn't have any children. However, I saw some of her old photos. She spent a lot of time with a little girl. I don't know if the girl is her illegitimate daughter. However, fo
Third People's POV Back at the apartment building, Sunny got Leo to leave. Then, she took out her mask and put on her hoodie. She stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi. She gave an address, and then the car left. Two hours later, on a farm on the outskirts of the city, the car stopped. Sunny paid the driver and went straight to the farm. Sunny knocked on the door. Someone came over to open the door and was surprised to see her. "Sunny, why are you here?" "Is Olivia here?" Sunny asked. That person was stunned for a moment. "Let me in. I have something urgent to tell her!" Sunny seemed to know something and asked. "But..." "I came alone. No one followed me!" Sunny could hear the worry in that person's voice. "Come in!" The door was opened. Her name was Teresa, Olivia's childhood friend. She was the only woman who did not despise Olivia. She has been ugly since she was a child. Olivia helped her a lot and they had been friends
Blake's POV At this time, I was busy looking for Olivia, but I did not expect that there was an even more serious thing happening. The newly developed high-end apartment of the Chavez Group was located in an excellent location. There was a bay next to it, so the apartment was very popular. The entire apartment was in final progress. However, at this time, a construction worker fell from the tenth floor, fell directly onto the floor, and died on the spot. I woke up from the warm blanket at the shocking news. When I received the call from my assistant, Dowen, my expression instantly changed. "First, send someone to his family first. I'll be right there. Also, don't let this matter be exposed." It happened at such a time, making me suspicious. "What's wrong?" Catherine asked with concern when she saw that I had changed my clothes. "It's nothing. Just go back to sleep. I have to go to work now." I comforted her. In the col
Catherine's POV As soon as Blake left, I immediately felt that the office was extremely empty. I felt so bored that I paced in his office. I checked every corner. Though his office was big, there weren't many things in the room. In this case, it seemed empty. And that was why I felt lonely here. Yet, Blake worked here for several years. He was able to endure this loneliness. It could feel how lonely he must have been. When I thought of this, my heart ached. The more I loved him, the more I could experience the loneliness he had once felt. An hour had passed. The office door was pushed open by a pair of slender hands. I saw him while sitting on the sofa. "Were you bored?" He threw the documents on the desk, walked to my side, and sat down. I shook my head. I looked at every corner of his office. I felt that I understood the man in front of me more. "Hedwig and Noah are going to start their holiday today, right?" Blake su
Blake's POV When I came down from Emerson's room, I happened to see Leo walk in. He came alone and did not bring Sunny. He looked a little tense when he came in. "Where is Sunny? Why are you here alone? Didn't you bring her?" Patricia asked him first. Leo said coldly, "She has something to do and can't come. I will bring her here next time." What Emerson just said to me upstairs proved that he knew about Marc's betrayal. I finally understood why Emerson didn't stop Abigail from leaving back then. Because he was the only one who knew the truth. All these years, he had been carrying these secrets. He must have been under great pressure. I went downstairs, and Leo greeted me. I walked up to him and whispered, "Come upstairs with me to see Emerson." "Alright." Leo nodded. He followed me upstairs reluctantly. "Emerson won't scold me anymore, right?" Leo asked as he walked. "Are you still thinking about that?" I
