"How about we sneak the child out of Southern Haven Villas? Madelyn doesn't care whether Zach lives or dies, but I refuse to believe she wouldn't care about the life of her child," said Cecilia.She leaned against Agustin's chest and said, "I've been searching for Madelyn all this time, but I have no idea where she's hiding. Besides, Kai went off to the research institute. Our people can't get in there. It's impossible to find out her whereabouts."Agustin looked at Cecilia in his arms expressionlessly. "The Turner family now guards the Southern Haven Villas. It had a state-of-the-art defense and alarm system before Zach left. The general public can't get in, and even if they manage to, they won't make it out alive."Cecilia excitedly suggested, "How about we set up explosives around the place and blow up Southern Haven Villas? We can dig a tunnel and bury the explosives underground. That way, it won't be so complicated."Agustin said, "You are indeed ruthless."Cecilia laughed bo
At the restaurant, Liam and Blake had ordered their food. A woman sat across from them with a twelve-year-old child by her side. The kid was restless and kept poking at his food and spilling it everywhere. The lady gently chided him, but the kid did not care. The kid huffed at her and then continued to play with his food, and eventually the lady proceeded to ignore the child.The child's name was Luke Beaver, while the woman was named Greta Hart. She used to perform in theater plays, and was still as beautiful as she always had been. There were some wrinkles on her face from age, but you could still see that she used to be a gorgeous woman. She was dressed in a red coat and wearing a pearl necklace.Yet, Greta looked slightly annoyed. She told Liam, "Luke still has tuition classes tomorrow, and my husband doesn't know I'm here. If you have something to say, make it quick."The mother and son sat one seat away from each other. At Liam's side was Blake. Liam said to her, "I might be g
In the end, Liam was too eager to do this. Blake also did not know when Liam had made the invitation.The next day, Blake met Cecilia at her office at Jardin Corporation. After she had decided to go along with Cecilia's wishes and started going out with Liam, she had informed Cecilia about it. Cecilia heard this and was pleased.Naturally, Cecilia hoped Blake would become Mrs. Xander as soon as possible. That way, Cecilia could push for Julian Xander to become the mayor without any worries. Liam could take the position of general secretary soon, too."I've already done as you've told me to. Are you going to do as you promised and not hurt Madelyn?" Blake asked her.Cecilia smiled and stared at her. She replied, "Of course, as long as Madelyn doesn't appear in Ventropolis, I'll forgive what she's done in the past. You'd better hope she never appears before me again."Blake shouted, "In the end, you still want to go against her. You're a liar."Cecilia slammed the table and suddenl
Blake did all she could to try and track down the person who had taken Madelyn away. She requested leave from work from Liam. Liam initially wanted to accompany her, but Blake refused.Based on an address given to her, she eventually arrived at a medical research institute. She saw security guards standing outside. Unless someone walked out, no one from the outside could enter. Blake took out a name card and passed it to the security guards.Unexpectedly, they would warn her with a severe expression, "The person you are looking for isn't here. I'm warning you: leave now, or we'll call the cops. We'll sue you for disturbing the peace and obstructing official business."Anyone present here had a certain level of status. Blake did not dare forcefully break in. As she turned around, she slapped her forehead in regret. She mumbled, "Blake, how could you forget about this. Liam is the son of the mayor. He could solve this with just a phone call. Why didn't you let Liam join you? How could
'How come?' Blake thought.Blake knew she remembered correctly since she dirtied her dress the last time she was at the banquet. She had borrowed Lana's skirt, and that was three years ago. Lana must not have recognized her.Blake immediately regained her senses and asked, "Dr. Stewart, where are you going? I drove my car here today. Why don't I give you guys a ride?"Lana wanted to say something but was brought away from Kai by the guards. Kai did not even want to bother with her."She looks like she's looking for you. Why don't we ask what she wants?" As Lana finished speaking, she felt a huge pain coming from her abdomen. She screamed, "Ah! My belly!""Andrew, I feel like I'm going to give birth soon! My belly hurts!" Lana shouted.Kai saw the fluid flowing between Lana's legs and panicked. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wheels screeching as Blake suddenly drove her car over and told him, "Dr. Stewart, get her in the car quickly. I'll send you to the hospital."Kai had no ch
The lights at the end of the corridor flickered. Blake and Kai were sitting on the hospital bench when she asked, "If I come clean to you later, will you help me, Dr. Stewart?"Coincidentally, a nurse came out of the delivery room and told Kai, "Dr. Stewart, your wife's cervix has opened around four centimeters. She should be in labor at five in the morning."Kai stood up and nodded, "Okay. Thank you very much."The nurse gave him some simple instructions since everyone at the hospital knew Kai was famous in the medical field and that he worked at a medical research institute. Every doctor wanted to become as brilliant as he was.Then, the nurse left. With their previous conversation interrupted, Blake pursed her lips and struggled to restart it. After she saw Kai walk in, she had no choice but to wait outside. Kai saw Lana lying on the bed and started coaxing her gently.At that very moment, Blake completely recollected who this woman was. She was the wife of the Stewart family's
Kai shook his head and did not explain anything further. He could only deduce that because Zach had committed so many evil acts toward Madelyn throughout his life, this was the only way for him to make her have a change of heart. However, it was wrong for him to gamble it after all that scheming; she would not come back just because he gambled off his life.Since that was what Zach owed Madelyn, only he could repay his debt; no one could interject in it. There was an insurmountable chasm between them. Regardless, the Jardin Corporation had nothing to do with Kai. Ultimately, taking in Cecilia was Zach's choice.Blake said Cecilia had found where Madelyn was staying, but that was impossible. If Madelyn had not shown herself, even Kai would not have known where she was. Unless she came out herself and accepted Zach, no one would be able to find her.'Everyone has their regrets anyways,' Kai mused.On the other hand, Blake drove and passed through the city. She managed to buy pastina
Blake thought, 'The person Cecilia is afraid of? Her Achilles's heel?'She might not know Cecilia's weakness, but she knew who could really get under her skin. There was this saying that everyone had one. And for Cecilia, the only person who could keep her in check was Zach.Blake stood by the open door, bowed in gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Stewart. I have an idea of what to do now."Kai walked to the bedside quietly. Seeing Lana was about to wake up, he gently held and coaxed her.Lana asked, "What's wrong?"Kai smiled, "Nothing. Go back to sleep."His gaze deepened as he stared at the illuminated desk lamp, 'Zach, I know you wouldn't back yourself into a corner. Actually, you've orchestrated all of this. Regardless of Cecilia or Madelyn, it's all within your plan. Otherwise, why would I say you're cunning?'Kevin was indeed a part of your plan, a pawn in it. However, you've put all your chips on Blake this time. She's the crucial piece, isn't she? The beginning of tha
