The bodyguards responded, "Okay, Mrs. Jardin."In the master bedroom, Madelyn sat holding Dalton. Margaret walked back and forth anxiously, "Oh my gosh, I was scared to death."Madelyn asked, "What happened to you? Who did you see? Why are you so frightened?"Margaret explained, "Ms. Jent, you have no idea! I followed your instruction to hide in Mr. Jent's study as soon as something went wrong. I did that when it blacked out. Just now, I heard footsteps going downstairs. I thought it might be you, so I walked out of the study. When I approached and patted that person's shoulder, she turned around. My goodness, her face was simply unbearable to look at; all burned, features twisted. She looked like a monster!"She was even holding a knife. If it weren't for the power to come back so quickly, she might've attacked us."Madelyn thought, 'It turns out that someone really wanted to kill me! I've always felt that someone was watching me closely from behind recently. So, it wasn't an ill
Finding Yvonne was not difficult.Kevin received messages from a bodyguard regarding Yvonne's whereabouts and photos of her receiving treatment in the hospital.In the photos, her face was completely disfigured due to the plane crash.With the current domestic plastic surgery technology, it was impossible for her to restore her original appearance.The bodyguards sent by Kevin were too late to take action against Cecilia; she had already been secretly taken away through another passage.There was also news about the Young residence. As Kevin had expected, everyone had already left the place.The servants working at the Young residence were all dismissed, leaving only furniture.Kevin said, "Mr. Jardin, everyone has disappeared. Should we send someone to trace the Young family's whereabouts?"The early morning sunlight was bright. Zach, in dark-colored pajamas, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was standing upright with one hand in his pocket. He looked at the pe
Frida believed none of this would have happened if not for Zach. It seemed like she had made a decision....Cecilia had signs of miscarriage because she had too much fun last night. She took an injection in the hospital that reduced the risk of miscarriage and had an IV drip attached to her hand.Blake took the phone that was ringing and handed it to Cecilia, "Ms. Samford, here's your phone."After Cecilia took the phone, she sent Blake away, "Go get me a cup of hot water.""Okay."Blake then left the ward and closed the door. However, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood at the door to eavesdrop.She could faintly hear some sounds."It's good that you've figured it out. Madelyn has already bewitched Zach. If she didn't fuel the flames, how could Zach possibly make a move on your daughter? Ms. Young, do you remember how glorious the Young family was back then? Now, your family has fallen because of Zach, a lowly person. Are you really okay with that?"Cecilia's p
When Blake called Kevin, she saw him helping Audrey leave the hospital.She chased after them without any hesitation.Although she did not know why he was at the hospital, she could not care less. She felt that she had to tell him about this matter now.Blake followed Kevin all the way to the parking lot, "Mr. Harrison."Kevin turned around to look at Blake, who was approaching him hurriedly."Mr. Harrison, I have something to tell you. I'll leave after I say it."Audrey let go of Kevin's hand. She gently smiled as she said, "Ms. Dion has something to talk to you about. I'll wait in the car."She then glanced at Blake before turning around and leaving to sit in the front passenger seat.Blake pulled Kevin to a quiet place. He asked, "Why are you at the hospital?"Blake responded, "Last night, the hospital called me, saying Cecilia needed someone to accompany her. I'm not sure about her actual condition, but I took care of her all night. Just now, I heard that she wants to work
The entire Jardin Tower housed many of Jardin Corporation's subsidiaries. Besides finance, real estate, gaming, and so on, Jardin Corporation also owned quite a few literary websites.No one expected Liam to join the literary company of Jardin Corporation.StartReading Literary was the only company separated from Jardin Corporation. However, it was not an insignificant company. The employees of Jardin Corporation believed Madelyn was the reason Zach decided to do this.There were rumors among the employees about Madelyn attending the previous book signing event hosted by Liam and even meeting him.Now, even Liam has started working in the company. The other employees could not believe Zach had gone to such lengths just to make his wife, Madelyn, happy.Blake was still angry. She did not even feel like going back to her office. She had been staying in Liam's private office, helping him review drafts. She even napped in his office when she was bored.Blake was a little shy in the p
Blake quickly came back to her senses. She nervously avoided his gaze as she supported her waist to stand up, "N–No! I'm too tired today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to slack off. I've brought lunch today, so I won't eat with you. Maybe next time." After that, she quickly ran away as if someone was chasing her.She rejected him because she was afraid that the people in the company were gossiping about them.Blake thought, 'The incident with Kevin in the corridor last time was widely known. Luckily, it was suppressed. Otherwise, I could've been questioned by Mr. Jardin.'She was so hungry that her stomach growled. She wanted to get something to eat.Unexpectedly, when she passed by the restroom, she overheard people talking inside.A woman said, "Have you seen the photo? Someone took a picture of Blake sleeping in Mr. Xander's office. Who exactly is she? She is manipulating both Mr. Xander and Mr. Harrison. Last time, Mr. Harrison even made Susan remind us to watch our mou
Blake said, "You're so nice."Several tables away, a few people were looking in Blake's direction, making uncomfortable remarks about her.She did not eat much before she used the excuse of the soup being ready and left.Blake thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't eat in the cafeteria anymore. No matter how delicious the food is, I can't withstand the stares from these people.'Cecilia was still recuperating in the hospital. She was surprised to see Blake, who had just left in the morning, so soon, "I don't remember asking you to come."Blake felt guilty when Cecilia stared at her. She lowered her head and touched her nose, "Ms. Samford, I'm your assistant. I was worried when I thought of how you have no one to take care of you. I bought you your favorite soup. Give it a try."Blake opened the thermal container and served some into a bowl. She then sat by the bedside and offered it to Cecilia with both hands, "M–Ms. Samford, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong wit
"You have an interesting way with words. It's okay; buy and take whatever you need. Consider it a welcoming gift. Cough, cough–" Cecilia stopped talking as she was experiencing a coughing fit.Blake quickly passed her warm water and said, "Ms. Samford, you should drink some water. I can get you your medication later."Cecilia sipped the water and obliged, "Mhm."Then, Blake walked out of the hospital ward. Cecilia stared at her for a while before retracting her gaze.'I must be overthinking it,' she thought.After that, Blake used Cecilia's card to buy some clothes and accessories for that night. Then, she went to a stylist.When Blake met Cecilia again, the latter eyed her with her arms crossed. She asked, "What's wrong? Did Kevin not tell you to dress this way or ask you to meet clients?"Blake answered embarrassingly," Ms. Samford, you think too highly of me. I'm actually quite clumsy, so Mr. Harrison thought I was a nuisance. Hence, I usually just sit in the car and wait."
