"You're giving us everything? But what will you and uncle do?" Blake asked. She could not hide her concern.

Grace sighed heavily, her voice filled with resigned acceptance. "Your uncle and I knew this day might come. We have to ensure your and Mya's safety first. With this money, you should manage just fine. We'll manage somehow."

Blake's eyes began to fill with tears. She said, "There must be another way. We can ask Madelyn for help. She said the only person who can deal with Fred is Mr. Jardin, the CEO of Jardin Corporation. Mr. Jardin's her brother, and he will surely help us."

Grace shook her head, a mix of sadness and resolve in her eyes. She said, "Blake, we are outsiders in their world. Madelyn has already done more than enough for us. We can't keep depending on her anymore."

Mya carried a glass of water over clumsily and said, "Mom, here's your water. I accidentally broke the glass just now, but I've already taken care of it."

Grace gave Mya a final, longing look, her hear

    In a world of power and influence, two men stood at the pinnacle of their respective fields. One a business tycoon, the other a political force. Both were unmatched in their realms.Cecilia's twisted affair with Fred in another lifetime cleared many obstacles in her path. In this life, she was determined not to let anything or anyone stand in her way."Is everything taken care of?" Cecilia demanded impatiently, her voice tinged with triumph. She caressed her belly and climbed into a waiting car, her eyes glinting with determination.Cecilia mused to herself, "You think you've won, Zach. But in the past life, even after marrying that worthless Madelyn, you still discarded her. People change, and in the end, you'll see I'm the only one meant for you. The feeling of the two most outstanding, most powerful men falling at the mercy of my charms is something you wouldn't understand even if you lived two lifetimes, Madelyn. You're destined to be overshadowed by me."The car sped away into

    It was a quiet and peaceful night. Without any warning, it started to snow.Fred held onto a sleeping Mya. After not seeing her for a few days, she had gained a lot of weight. The other women were all slender, while she was as plump as a partridge. Fred had never seen a woman not take care of their figure before.When Blake drove by, she saw the car plate on Fred's car. Her eyes widened as she saw the familiar person in the car.'It's him! What is he doing here?' She thought. Blake immediately lowered her head and avoided staring at Fred when she thought of how he had used her.Kevin walked over and called out to Fred, "Mr. Turner."Fred glanced at him and asked, "Did he send you?"Kevin did not answer. Instead, he said, "Mr. Jardin doesn't plan to interfere with the affairs between the Harper and Turner families. I've come to settle a different issue."Fred walked past him. He had initially planned to bring Blake with him but chose to let her go. All the bodyguards started to d

    Kevin lowered his gaze and looked at Blake, kneeling on the ground. His gaze switched to the doctor, and he asked, "Dr. Osborn, please keep this matter a secret, even from the hospital. I'll send someone to handle this."Craig Osborn nodded his head and replied, "Alright. You can see me anytime for any future treatment for her."Kevin thanked him, "Thank you."When everyone left, Kevin told Blake, "Worrying now won't solve the issue. I've already called for a cab. For now, return to Ventropolis with Mrs. Harper. After that, I will arrange for future treatment for Mrs. Harper."Blake's eyes were red as she said, "You still haven't told me what happened to Grace."Kevin replied, "You don't need to know about it. You will do as I say if you want to ensure the Harper family's safety. Ventropolis will be thrown into chaos for a while. I can't promise the Harper family will survive."Blake argued, "You still need to tell me who did this to Grace! Besides, how would I know if you were t

    The servants heard Madelyn's tone, and their hearts sank. They were afraid she was going to argue with Zach again. Every time they fought, Madelyn would be so angry she could not eat. She would then smash the cutlery. Whenever she was angry, Zach would not be able to coax her.However, Zach was smarter now. Every time they had a meal, Zach would keep silent and have Madelyn cuss him out. When Madelyn finished cussing him out and calmed down, they could finish their meal in peace.After Madelyn cussed him out, Zach did not react. He continued to eat slowly while reading the finance section of the newspaper. While reading, he would still put food into Madelyn's bowl. Madelyn saw the so-called "ring" on Zach's ring finger and grew furious."I'm talking to you, Zach! Have you been listening?!" Madelyn screamed.Zach sipped his coffee calmly while still being dressed in his pajamas. He said calmly, "Mhm, I've been listening. I think this skirt is not bad and suits you. Do you want to tr

    No one but Cecilia could affect his decision. Even if Madelyn could speak brilliantly, Madelyn was still a naive, silly person who would drag him down in Zach's eyes. He would trust and take every suggestion Cecilia gave while never listening to a word Madelyn said. That was because Madelyn had heard Zach talk about her that way. Zach has said, "You don't have a say in the company's affairs. You're nothing compared to Cecilia."The morning conference for Jardin Corporation was done online that day."Do you really want to do so, Mr. Jardin? The brands that we've agreed to partner with have designed their columns. If we terminate our contract so suddenly, we will need to pay a large sum in compensation," one of the executives said.Zach was still dressed in his simple pajamas. He lowered his head while spinning the pen in his hand. Then, he said, "First, draft the termination contracts. Just compensate them as agreed in the partner contract.""But we'll need to pay up to 30 million d

    Then, the meeting finally ended. The executives left while shaking their heads. Susan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed in.She had a stack of documents while speaking hurriedly, "Mr. Harrison, Ms. Samford is back. She asked us for some documents and even checked the quarterly report. Now I don't know what she's going to do."Kevin furrowed his brows in silence before leaving the conference room. Blake instinctively wanted to follow but was pushed to the side by Susan. Susan gave her a triumphant expression as well. Then, Susan followed Kevin closely. After Kevin understood the situation, Blake noticed her usual seat next to Kevin was taken. Her stuff was currently placed on a temporary desk. She also saw Susan talking to Kevin in his office.After a while, Susan walked out and went straight to Blake. She said, "Blake, Mr. Harrison said you're resigning, so you should pass on your work to me first. Then, you can go to human resources to sign some documents. After

    "Enough with the sucking up. Just get in," said Cecilia.After a moment of hesitation, Blake got into the car. She spoke timidly and hesitantly, "M-Ms. Samford, may I ask why you'd like to meet with me?"Cecilia said, "I've been busy with other things recently, so I let you work under Kevin. He didn't give you a hard time, did he?"Blake answered, "It wasn't just difficult but downright exploitative. Ms. Samford, look at the dark circles under my eyes. They're the result of these past few days of burning the midnight oil."Cecilia said, "It must've been tough. You should go back and rest. I'll assist you in getting a day off."A shiver ran down Blake's spine as she looked at her smile. "It's okay, Ms. Samford. Something's come up at my home recently. So, I'll be resigning after finishing out this month."Cecilia asked inquisitively, "What happened? If you've encountered any difficulties, do you need a hand?""It's okay, just a small matter. I can handle it myself." When Blake sa

    The staff said, "Ms. Samford, this is the most expensive wedding dress we have in our store. Besides, this is the only design with meticulously hand-set crystals on the fabric. Many wealthy clients have tried it, but you're the first one for whom it fits perfectly. If you're not fond of this style, we'll have a new batch in a few days. You may come back here to take another look, or we can provide dedicated in-home service for you."Cecilia casually pointed to a spot, "I think that one looks good."The staff looked over the direction Cecilia indicated and said hesitantly, "Uh, this... I'm really sorry, Ms. Samford. The wedding dress in the other dressing room is... Um, Ms. Samford..." The staff noticed Cecilia had left during mid-sentence and quickly followed.There was just a single door separating the two dressing rooms. Madelyn heard the door suddenly being pushed open. She looked up and saw Cecilia walking toward her in a wedding dress through the makeup mirror. In a moment of s

    Liam was standing in the rain, and though it hadn't been long, he was thoroughly drenched.Blake quickly pulled him close, her voice laced with concern. "Are you crazy? It's pouring rain! What if you catch a cold?"Liam's look was subdued, his face showing signs of fatigue. "I'm okay. This is for you; I didn't want you to have to come out in this weather."As Blake took in his forlorn appearance, her heart softened suddenly. 'Am I losing my mind?' she thought."Now you'll have to pay more attention to me, Blake... I was just so scared of losing you. I've put everything I have into getting you to agree to marry me; the idea of you walking away is unbearable."Overwhelmed with emotion, Blake locked eyes with him. "Did she teach you to say that too?" she asked, her hand moving on its own to brush away the raindrops from his hair.A maid nearby, observing the scene, rushed over with a blanket and an umbrella. However, Grace, fully grasping the gravity of the moment, halted her. Ackno

    Cecilia said, "It's fine. Let's give them a week. Rearrange the flight and all the plans for the trip. This is Blake's first time getting married and going abroad for honeymoon. I want to make sure she has a good time."Susan nodded. "Okay, Ms. Samford."Not long after Cecilia left, three editors who used to work for Olivia's company entered her office. All of them spoke in panic, "Ms. Blue, what should we do? Ms. Samford already knows everything. If the legal department finds out about it, will we go to jail?"Olivia remained calm as she said, "Don't panic. Just focus on your work.""But we got into this company through you. What if they say we got into this company through the back door and then fired us?"Olivia sat at her desk, supporting her forehead with her hands. She was obviously panicking. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."You guys can leave now."Olivia did not expect this matter to be exposed so soon. She wondered how Cecilia found out about it. 'Could it be that she'

    StartReading Literary was the last place Cecilia wanted to be. But she made an exception this time.Olivia had just finalized a cooperative copyright deal with another website company. Several editors from her own company were there at StartReading Literary. As she entered the office, she saw all the editors from StartReading Literary sitting upright, not daring to make a sound.She also saw her office door was wide open. She frowned as she walked into her office and was surprised to see an unexpected gust.Olivia put down the documents in her hand. "Ms. Samford, what brings you here?"With her legs crossed and Susan standing behind her, Cecilia stared at Olivia, who was in front of her.Cecilia sneered and stood up. She ran her fingers along the desk. "StartReading is actually the last place I want to be. I came here because I found out that you enjoy meddling in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you wouldn't even qualify to see me."Olivia instantly looked wary. She remained s

    Liam stood up. He watched as Blake, who looked weary, walked away. "Blake, what do you want me to do so you'll like me?"Blake did not stop walking. Instead, she took even bigger steps and left.She went to the Harper residence, which surprised everyone.Grace asked, "Blake? Why did you come back here? Where's Liam? Why didn't he come back with you?"Blake stuttered, unable to find the words. She just made up an excuse, saying, "It's nothing. I just wanted to come back."After Hannah and Yael left the wedding last night, they went back to the research institute.As for Simon, he went to the farm to manage the business.After Blake went to her room, Grace became worried. She followed her and saw her sitting with a blank expression in the room, not knowing what to do.When Blake saw Grace, she quickly adjusted her mood. "Grace, why are you here?""I came to check on you. Blake, what's wrong? Did you have a fight with Liam? You just had your wedding yesterday, and you're already

    The pregnancy test report came out fifteen minutes after Blake did the test. She was indeed pregnant. She was even seven weeks pregnant.Blake had indeed been involved with Kevin while in Northern Myanmar over a month ago.She held the medical report while standing bewildered in the cold hospital corridor. Lights shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto her body, but all Blake felt was the cold, which made her hands and feet numb.She was lost in her thoughts. 'I'm really pregnant. What should I do with this baby? I want it to be born more than anyone else. But now, everything has changed. This child shouldn't come into this world.'She wandered in the corridor. Suddenly, she saw someone coming out of another gynecological room.She thought, 'Some things are just destined by fate. When I long to see him, even catching a glimpse of him in a dream feels like a luxury, an unattainable wish. But now, when I don't want to see him, it seems he appears everywhere I go.'Kevin supp

    Blake wondered, 'I'm now pregnant with Kevin's child. What should I do?'She woke up groggily when she felt someone carry her. She opened her heavy eyelids and asked, "What time is it now?"Liam responded, "It's four-thirty in the morning. It's still early; go back to sleep for a while more."Blake said in a hoarse voice, "I've made an appointment for an abortion at eight o'clock. Regardless of whether I'm really pregnant or not, I don't want to keep this child."She had thought about it all night and believed this was the best decision.Kevin was going to get engaged. Blake believed he would get married and Audrey would give birth to his children. There was simply no need for her to complicate things further.She thought, 'If I choose to be selfish and decide to keep this baby, and if people find out about it, my child will be treated as an illegitimate child. I don't even dare to imagine how badly the child will be treated.'If giving birth to the baby will bring it a lifetime

    Blake continued, "What about you, Liam? Do you mind?"If you do, you can choose to divorce me. After all, I've wronged you. No one wants to marry a woman who's carrying someone else's child."Liam stepped forward on the shattered cup and hugged her tightly. "I don't mind. Blake, I love you, including everything about you. I don't mind your past. I just want to start over with you. I didn't tell you about the pregnancy because I was selfish; I wanted to keep you by my side."Blake, your child is my child. I want to raise the baby with you."Don't leave me, okay?"Blake did not know why, but she was not surprised by her pregnancy. However, she felt that there were still some things that she could not let go of, though she was unsure what those were.She was not as calm as she had imagined.She thought about her past events. Then, she indifferently said, "Liam, I don't want this child. Since I'm prepared to be with you, I won't keep this child. It wouldn't be fair to you."Liam di

    On this romantic night, the moon was obscured by the clouds.Breathing heavily, Blake felt some pain in her abdomen. She asked to stop. "Liam, my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to have my period soon."Liam sobered up instantly. "I'll go get you some medicine."She peeked out from under the blanket as the bedside lamp turned on. She could clearly see Liam's naked upper body. Her face flushed as she averted her gaze. "It's fine. Just help me call the front desk and ask them to bring up a pack of sanitary pads. I'll go to the bathroom to deal with it."Liam replied, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."Blake picked up her clothes from the floor and went to the bathroom. "It's okay. It's probably just my period."However, judging by the blood flowing out, it did not seem like menstrual blood to Blake. It looked like something else.Blake's voice came from the bathroom again. "I think we should go to the hospital."She sat on the toilet and watched the tall, slende

    Blake had no bridesmaids, so she returned to the hotel room alone. As she stepped out of the elevator and was ready to use the room key card in her hand to swipe and enter the room, she suddenly saw a figure appear from the corner of her eye.She stopped her action and looked at the person who had left the wedding earlier.At that moment, Blake felt her breath catch, but it was only fleeting. She then quickly regained her composure and averted her gaze. She asked, "Didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"Kevin replied, "Congratulations."Upon hearing his congratulations, Blake felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. "There's nothing to congratulate. If anything, I should congratulate you. You're soon to be the mayor's son-in-law. In the future, we won't belong in the same social class anymore."I'm tired and came back to rest. You should leave now before Liam comes up and sees you here."Don't look for me again. I don't want him to misunderstand."Kevin responded, "Audrey and
