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;
Suddenly, Blake's phone was flooded with notifications from her group chat.[Breaking news! It's bad. Today, someone from HR leaked the information that Mr. Harrison is resigning. Even the HR manager doesn't dare to approve it.][What? Mr. Harrison is resigning? Oh no, my idol is leaving? If he leaves, other women out there will have the chance to pursue him. So annoying. What should I do to keep my man?][Since when did Mr. Harrison become your man? Clearly, he's my husband!][I'm not like some people who change their minds all the time. Weren't you into Mr. Jardin? Why are you stooping to steal my man?][He's married. But going back to the point, will Jardin Corporation shut down soon? Mr. Harrison is actually resigning! My goodness, I can't even imagine.]***Liam returned to his office from a meeting with the editors. He saw Blake, who was troubled and constantly making calls. Concerned, Liam approached and asked, "Who are you calling? Is it very urgent?"Blake kept hearing
Blake felt disappointed.Kevin said, "After I leave, the position is yours. With Cecilia looking after you, you can do whatever you want in the company. No one will dare tell you what to do."Blake met his gaze and asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying the position is mine? Kevin, what are you planning? Are you using me again?"Kevin stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he saw an incoming call displayed on the car's screen. He said, "Don't overthink it. I'll be going abroad for a while. The company's affairs are none of my business anymore. Get out of the car now."Blake saw that the incoming call was from Audrey. Her heart sank. She was irritated and wanted to curse.She wanted to know what plans he still had that she was not aware of.She thought, 'But who am I to question him?'Then, she got out of the car. After the car drove away, Liam walked over to her and asked, "Are you okay?"Blake shook her head, "I'm fine."In the following week, Blake did not se
Blake said, "Thank you, I'm heading out now. If anything comes up, I'll message you."Liam responded, "Be careful."Blake, with a black leather bag in hand, was wearing a dark coat that reached her knees. As she took the elevator down and walked through the lobby, she coincidentally ran into Susan, who was chatting happily with the people from the secretarial department.Blake thought, 'What an unlucky day.'She thought about pretending not to see Susan and quietly leaving. However, holding a cup of coffee, Susan did not want to miss the chance to show off to Blake.Susan stood in front of Blake to block her way, "I didn't expect to see you still in the company. If I didn't know better, I'd think you got fired! Tsk, tsk... Looks like you're doing quite well working as an assistant to an editor-in-chief!"Blake noticed the expensive clothes and ladies' watch Susan was flaunting, all from Jardin Corporation's latest collection, with prices ranging from two to three hundred thousand
