Cecilia picked up the call and asked calmly, "Did something happen?"Susan answered swiftly, "Ms. Samford, Mr. Jardin was injured! I saw Mr. Jardin being carried out of the hotel room by a paramedic. He was covered in blood and had a dagger in his chest. He doesn't look well. Mrs. Jardin also seems to have escaped."Ms. Samford, do we call the cops now? But Kevin has withheld all information regarding the news and is forbidding any leaks," Susan continued."What did you say? Madelyn dared hurt him? Which hospital is he in right now?" Cecilia asked with a menacing look.Susan told her, "The Community Hospital. The same hospital you are in."Cecilia replied, "Alright. Keep a close eye on him, and don't give yourself away."Susan obliged, "Yes, Ms. Samford. I'll be returning to the company first. I'll contact you if anything happens."After Cecilia hung up the phone, she had the nurses help her into a wheelchair. One asked her, "Ms. Samford, will you not have the soup?"Cecilia an
"Who let her in?" Fred asked.The deputy warden answered, "Ms. Harper brought her in. She said she wanted to stay with us for a few days. We saw that Ms. Harper was happy, so we didn't do anything about it."Blake was seated at the innermost seat. She also put her hand down after seeing Fred's annoyed face. She smiled while hiding behind Mya and thought, 'Fred is just like Mr. Jardin. They are so terrifying. I'll never understand how Madelyn and Mya put up with them.'When Blake compared them to Kevin, he seemed like an angel. Besides, Fred's stare made her shudder. His smile was even more ominous.Fred asked Mya, "Is bringing someone home such a delightful thing?"Mya picked up the dropped cookies and patted the dust off them. She then said, "Blake is my younger sister. My mom said that older siblings have to take care of their younger siblings. Blake is the best; she has also helped me eliminate the bad guys. I want her to be with me. Even if you disagree, I'll still bring her h
Blake said, "Ah... Liam, I'm finished!"Blake pressed her forehead against Liam's chest. He was slightly surprised and smiled faintly, "Calm down. Take your time, and tell me what's wrong."He raised his hand to check the time, "Have you had breakfast?"Blake responded, "I can't eat anything right now."Liam said, "I'll take you home. You can tell me what's wrong in the car."In the early morning, the frost on the side of the road of Eternal Seasons had not melted. Liam draped the checkered scarf on his arm over Blake's neck as he lowered his eyes. His long lashes flickered slightly, "It's cold in the morning. Let's get into the car."Liam held her hand, leading her to the parked car.He opened the front passenger seat door, and Blake got in. Liam then sat in the driver's seat and fastened the seat belt for Blake.He drove the car very steadily, as there were no bumps on the road. He said, "I'm sorry for troubling you last night."If you don't mind, can you tell me what happen
Blake pondered, 'When Madelyn left, she had blood on her body. Could it be that the blood wasn't hers but Mr. Jardin's?'The officer asked, "Ms. Dion, is there anything else you want to say?"Blake pursed her lips. She thought of Liam and asked, "Can I talk to my friend for a moment?""Until your suspicion is cleared, neither you nor your friend can leave unless someone can vouch that this has nothing to do with you two," the officer responded.The only person Blake could think of who could help them was Kevin.Blake believed only Kevin knew exactly what happened in the room at that time.She did not expect to end up dragging Liam into this.She called Kevin. After half a minute of ringing, he still did not answer the call.Blake persistently dialed over and over again.Finally, when she called, she was notified that Kevin's phone was switched off.She thought, 'Kevin must think that Mr. Jardin's injury was related to me, so he doesn't want to see me now.'Feeling disappoint
After that, Olivia angrily left.Liam waited from morning until evening, watching the sun gradually set.Finally, the female police officer could not take it anymore and approached Liam, trying to persuade him, "Mr. Xander, it's not ideal for you to keep waiting here. Your girlfriend is actually very worried about your health. For her sake, you should go back."With a faint smile, Liam shook his head, "I'm fine."The office said, "You should go home. Sigh, fine! At least eat something."After a while, the officer brought a piece of bread and a cup of warm water and placed them beside him.He held the cup of water, his cold fingers feeling the warmth.Under the gloomy sky, Liam lowered his eyes. In the next moment, he felt a hint of coldness on his eyelashes; a crystal-clear snowflake hung on them.Liam blinked before looking up at the streetlights and watching the snowfall.When the water in his hand turned cold, he put it down.Then, he grabbed his phone and made a call. He
Blake got into Liam's car.In a black car also parked outside the police station, Kevin's gaze was intense as he watched the other car depart. He also saw Blake holding Liam's hand just now.Sitting in the front passenger seat, Susan looked at Kevin, who did not look happy. She sheepishly asked, "Mr. Harrison, it seems like Blake is fine now. Do we still need to go inside?"Even though it was something that could have been resolved with just a phone call, Kevin unexpectedly made the trip himself.Susan thought, 'Mr. Jardin is critically injured, and the company is in a chaotic situation. Yet, Mr. Harrison is still willing to make time to check on Blake.'Kevin looked cold, stepped on the accelerator, and left the police station.Blake had not slept all night. She sat with her eyes closed in the front passenger seat and soon fell asleep.Liam slowed down the car. He carefully carried her from the passenger seat when they arrived at the apartment building.Back at his place, Blak
Blake walked out of the room with her phone. She had unknowingly felt more and more familiar with this once unfamiliar place, almost treating it like her own home. After she left the room, she did not forget to close the door, "Liam, I need to go to the company after eating. Mr. Harrison may have some arrangements."Liam served her a bowl of chicken soup, "I already took the day off for you in the morning. Finish your meal, and later we can go to the company together. There's still time."Blake replied, "Okay."After finishing the meal, Blake went to change her clothes before going to the company in Liam's car.After arriving at the parking lot of the company building, Blake went straight to the office. Without hesitation, she walked to Kevin's office. She stood at the door and decided to knock before going in.Kevin said, "Come in."There were not many people in the secretary department office now; only a few of them were working. Zach had just held his wedding and allowed every
Kevin stopped the pen he was twirling and leaned back in his chair. His gaze was icy, "Hand me the transfer documents in ten minutes, and I'll sign them.""Sure." Blake turned around and left, forcefully closing the door behind her. There were only a few people working overtime in the office. In less than ten minutes, she had printed the documents and tossed them in front of Kevin.He signed his name and said, "Handle the handover of your work yourself. I'll notify the HR department. Starting tomorrow, report downstairs."As if deliberately venting her anger, Blake said, "No need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go right now."Kevin flipped through the documents in his hands. Without looking at Blake, he said, "You may leave. Remember to close the door."Blake left without closing the door intentionally. Coincidentally, she bumped into Susan, who was going to Kevin's office. She looked at Blake provocatively as if saying she was glad that Blake finally left.Blake did not back down;
