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

    As Madelyn looked at Cecilia now, it seemed like Cecilia was trying to intentionally provoke Madelyn, perhaps out of jealousy. At that moment, Madelyn had a sudden sense of pity for Cecilia. Over two lifetimes, Cecilia had remained steadfast in her love for Zach. However, Madelyn would not back down this time.So, she stepped forward, locking eyes without changing expression. "Ms. Samford, why don't you ask him since he's here too? Is it him or... me who doesn't want to separate now? I can understand why you're here to stir up trouble suddenly. After all, being a mistress isn't pleasant. However, Ms. Samford, I won't play along if you're here to provoke me deliberately. If you want to vent your emotions, go look for him instead of me!"When Madelyn finished speaking, people on the side muttered, "Huh? No way! She was promoted from an assistant to a Deputy CEO, but still being someone's mistress!""Yeah! I really didn't expect that. I used to see her being pretty independent in the n

    Madelyn pushed Kevin away right after he hung up the phone and said, "You aren't a good person either.""Ms. Jent!" Kevin held the ring but was one step short of stopping her. Madelyn walked into the elevator without stopping.Zach chased out. Then, he handed Dalton to the bodyguard and asked, "Where is she?"Kevin said, "I just came up, but Ma'am has already gone down."The well-planned wedding photoshoot was disrupted. Fortunately, Madelyn had already arrived at Southern Haven Villas when Zach returned. They both arrived within minutes of each other. Zach exited the car, and the bodyguard carrying Dalton followed, handing Dalton to the servant upon entering.Margaret watched as one after another rushed in without knowing what had happened. 'Wasn't today the day for Mr. and Mrs. Jardin to take wedding photos? Why did they come back so early?'Zach asked, "Where is Madelyn?"Margaret replied, "She has already gone upstairs."Zach chased upstairs and opened the bedroom door. Thi

    Madelyn thought, 'With Zach's current power, how could he have no way to deal with Cecilia if he really doesn't like her? He's just indulging her, so he's turning a blind eye to everything she does.'With this in mind, everything made sense. Unfortunately, Madelyn would not let Cecilia have her way because there was absolutely no way she would marry Zach this time!The frustration that had been pent up in her heart quickly dissipated. Seeing Zach's phony expression, she felt nauseous.'He and Cecilia really were a perfect match!'Zach began, "Cecilia is back... I..."Madelyn calmly interrupted him, "Zach, no need to explain anything to me. There's nothing to explain! I'm angry because she provoked me for no reason repeatedly, not because I'm jealous. I have nothing to be jealous of. It's just absurd! Getting scolded for no reason isn't pleasant for anyone. Don't say it won't happen again. It's meaningless, and I'm tired of it."Madelyn lifted the blanket, put on her shoes, and wa

    Just when Madelyn wanted to put down her phone after replying to Kennedy, a news notification suddenly popped up.The news content was: [According to a reliable source, Grace Dion was involved in a car accident on the way to the hospital. Currently, she is being treated at the hospital. It was reported that the vehicle was seventy percent damaged.[We'll provide more updates soon!]Madelyn thought, 'Mrs. Harper?'After she opened the picture and saw the license plate number, she was shocked. She could not understand how such a thing could happen.She then quickly called Mya. Madelyn called her several times, but she still did not answer.Madelyn's instinct told her that the car accident was deliberately planned. However, she did not know why she felt this way.She thought, 'This incident must be related to either Cecilia or Zach. He must know something. I have to ask him what actually happened.'When Madelyn touched the doorknob, she hesitated. She was convinced that she should

    Madelyn put her thoughts aside and focused on her work. Soon after, she received messages from Dorian and Clement.The studio planned to hold a meeting and a gathering for the people working there.Madelyn looked at the group chat and saw everyone urging her to attend. The group chat was lively as many people were texting there.[Madelyn, you must attend!][Yes! You left in a hurry last time, and we didn't have a chance to chat with you.]Many people were still sending messages in the group chat. Madelyn muted it and replied to the two people: [I'll try to make it.]Madelyn had a lot of work to do. Many people were waiting for her draft, so she could not waste any time.The nights during winter always seemed a little longer. After confirming with the client that her draft was acceptable, she wanted to send it to the studio. Then, she thought about the gathering tonight and decided only to send the draft tomorrow as she did not want to spoil her colleagues' mood and make them wor

    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
