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 finCatherine'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
Catherine's POV Blake went to work early the next morning. Suddenly, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and found that it was Halsey. I was very glad to receive his call. "Halsey, why are you back so suddenly? You should have told me in advance." "It was a last-minute call. Can we have dinner together tonight? It would be even better if you could bring the kids together with you," Halsey said gently. I hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Let me ask Blake. If he doesn't want me to bring the kids out, I will come alone." "Alright. See you tonight." Halsey hung up the phone. Then I called Blake and told him about the call with Halsey. There was a bit of displeasure in Blake's tone. "Is he back?" "Yes. Can I bring the kids to eat with him?" I asked him nicely, wanting to know his opinion. "At a time like this, I don't think you should take the kids out." Blake still blamed Halsey. I didn't insist. "OK then. I
Catherine's POV It was early in the morning. At breakfast, Blake brought up the engagement. The others were very supportive. No one had any objections. Emerson was simply thrilled. He rarely came down to have breakfast with us. Hearing that Blake and I were going to get engaged, he said excitedly, "That's great! The sooner the better!" Hedwig stirred the oats in her bowl, pouted, and asked, " Daddy, Mommy, after you get engaged, can I have a younger sister?" Everyone was amused by her words. I was the only exception. I blushed. Blake's gaze swept across my face, and he gently put his arm around my slender waist under the table. I was startled and quickly pushed his unruly hand away. "Hedwig, no talking when eating. Have you forgotten?" I was worried that Hedwig might say something blunter, so I reprimanded her softly. "I'm sorry, Mommy." Hedwig immediately became obedient again. "Catherine, are you on vacation?
