CHAPTER 71 "Taste of Own Medicine"

Seeing Blake sit there and refuse to leave, Owen's anger boiled over. He decided it was time to teach Blake a lesson.With a clenched jaw, Owen stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Blake with a mix of fury and determination. He had tolerated enough disrespect.Owen's voice was low and intense, cutting through the tension in the room. "You've overstayed your welcome. If you're really sorry for what happened, Mr Torres, then show me you mean it." Owen looked Blake dead in the eye, eyebrows raised.He pointed at a bottle of whiskey on the table.Blake silently picked up the bottle, poured himself a full glass, and downed it in one go, the liquid burning his throat."Are you satisfied, Mr. Lowes?" Blake's voice was laced with bitterness. "Is that sincere enough for you?"Owen's expression remained stoic, unmoved by Blake's display. He crossed his arms, his gaze unwavering.Owen smiled coolly. "Nowhere near enough. If it's an apology you're attempting, then you're going to have to do better

CHAPTER 72 "Knock Back"

Eva and the others left the private room, but that didn’t stop Blake from drinking.The hard liquor slid down his throat and into his stomach, causing a continuous burning sensation. He welcomed the burn, finding it preferable to the numbness threatening to take over.At one point, Blake couldn’t tell whether it was his stomach or his heart that was in pain. The lines blurred, and the ache in his chest seemed to meld with the fire in his belly, leaving him lost in a haze of physical and emotional turmoil.While Blake was busy spiraling deeper into his drunkenness, he failed to notice the figure standing furtively at the door.The figure stepped closer, revealing a sad, sickly face. It was Tally.She had been hiding outside, her presence masked by the shadows, silently observing Blake's descent.Tally knew that once news of today's events spread, her cousin and uncle would be in big trouble, and it was unlikely she would be able to distance herself from their fallout.If Blake abandone

CHAPTER 73 "Defamation"

The next day, Blake awoke from his hangover, his head pounding like a drum. Blinking against the harsh light streaming through the window, he struggled to piece together his surroundings.Through his daze, he felt a cool, damp cloth gently wiping his face. A familiar scent wafted through the air, a mix of lavender and something distinctly comforting.Was Eva taking care of him?No, it couldn't be. Eva's touch was always tender, her movements careful and soft. This touch, though gentle, was different—more practiced, deliberate. Blake’s heart raced as he tried to make sense of the situation, the fog in his mind slowly beginning to lift.Blake frowned and slowly opened his eyes, his vision gradually coming into focus. To his surprise, a maid was sitting on the edge of his bed."Mr. Torres, you're awake," she said cheerfully, her voice filled with relief. "I made you some soup. Please, have some."Setting the towel aside, the maid reached over to help him sit up, her movements careful and

CHAPTER 74 "A Witty Remark"

Blake was working tirelessly for Eva, putting in countless hours and immense effort on her behalf. Yet, here she was, laughing heartily at the news, even though she was at the center of ridicule.Owen exclaimed angrily, "Quit laughing, Eva. This matter is serious. Aren't you mad about it?""Ha-ha... Uncle Owen... I can't help it. This news... It's just so hilarious. Ha-ha!" Eva responded between fits of laughter.As Eva read the headline, she laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.The news claimed she was in an intimate relationship with a mysterious high-ranking official. The accompanying photo showed her leaning in close to a man whose face was blurred, as if she were whispering something into his ear. Their bodies were so close, it suggested an undeniable intimacy between them, fueling speculation and adding intrigue to the story. The image was suggestive enough to make it appear as though there was something going on between them, sparking a whirlwind of gossip and con

CHAPTER 75 "Gossiper"

Blake was lost in thought after hanging up. Something about the whole situation didn't add up. He had a gut feeling that Xian hadn't acted alone, even though he refused to admit it. It didn't make sense that his friend, who merely disliked Eva, would go to such great lengths to assassinate her character with a fake photo.Someone else had to be behind this. But who exactly was it?Blake replayed the events of the previous night in his mind, scrutinizing every action of the people who had been present.A crowd of reporters came out of nowhere after he had arrived.It didn't seem like a mere coincidence. On the contrary, it looked like a set-up, as they had rushed to Eva's private dining room as if they had received a tip-off from someone. Their timing was too precise to be random, suggesting that someone had orchestrated the situation.As Blake connected the dots, his face darkened.He shouted towards the door, "Mark!"A second later, Mark rushed into the office and asked, "Mr. Torres

CHAPTER 76 "Reprimand"

Everyone in the meeting room was eager to see how Eva would prove to them that she was capable of heading the project. Their intense gazes were fixed on her face, waiting for her to make her move. The tension in the room was palpable as they awaited her response.Eva's eyes swept through the meeting room. She then began to point at each designer one after the other."Hailey, you are in charge of the hospital project. Your top priorities are the safe and sanitary standards of the building, which include the usage of the new anti-bacterial decoration materials. In addition, it's your job to make sure there is room for the easy movement of larger surgical equipment and from the operation room.""Bela, during the execution of the school project, you have to keep in mind that it's a place of learning. The quality, safety and education functions must all be placed on the same importance level. None is more important that the other. Make sure the dormitory isn't far away from the canteen and

CHAPTER 77 "Tally's Game Plan"

Tally had gotten wind of the welcome party.She had called Blake several times and sent him tons of messages, but he kept ignoring her. She had been on tenterhooks for the past few days, anxiously waiting for any response or acknowledgment from him. Her nerves were frayed as she wondered what was going on and why he was avoiding her.It cost her an arm and a leg to get the invitation for the party. Like the cunning woman that she was, she wanted to make a statement at the party by showing that she was in a relationship with Blake. Tally meticulously planned her outfit, imagining the jealous stares and whispers she would elicit from other guests when she arrived on Blake's arm.But her plan wasn't very feasible now.The recent scandals had died down with barely any trace. Tally had bought off the Chens, so they didn't mention anything about her involvement in the matter. She was hoping to use this opportunity to regain her footing and make a bold move, but now, things seemed uncertain.

CHAPTER 78 "Why What Happen?"

Marian turned around slowly, a look of surprise flickering across her perfectly made-up face. Her smile faltered for a brief moment before regaining its composure. "Blake," she said, her voice dripping with feigned sweetness, "what a lovely surprise to see you here."Blake, however, wasn't fooled by her act. He narrowed his eyes, taking in her extravagant outfit and the way she was surrounded by a group of giggling socialites. "Marian," he said, his voice low and dangerous, "I thought I told you to stay away from this event."Marian scoffed, a haughty look replacing her feigned sweetness. "And who are you to give me orders, Blake? Besides, this is my social circle. These are my friends."Blake's brows furrowed."Friends who only associate with you because of your money and your name," Blake retorted, his voice laced with bitterness. "They wouldn't give you the time of day if you didn't have those things."A flicker of anger crossed Marian's eyes, but she quickly squashed it down. "Don

CHAPTER 79 "Mistaken"

Blake emerged from the crowd, his eyes locking onto Marian with an icy glare.A chill ran down Marian's spine as she noticed him, her blood turning to ice.She gritted her teeth, swallowing the curse that lingered on the tip of her tongue. Forcing a polite expression despite the frustration boiling inside her, she reluctantly said, "I'm sorry." Her voice wavered slightly, betraying the struggle within her to maintain composure.Saying those words felt like all the strength had been drained out of her. Marian could feel the gazes on her, each one brimming with contempt."I suggest you watch your manners next time. If it happens again, I'll have no choice but to teach you a lesson."Jayson didn't mince his words, showing no concern for Blake's or Marian's feelings. His bluntness cut through the air, leaving a tense silence in its wake.Marian lowered her gaze to the floor, her hands clenching into fists as she tried to conceal the anger boiling inside her. Her heart pounded in her chest

CHAPTER 80 "Dance with Me"

Owen's baritone voice echoed in the hall."Eva is an exceptionally talented and professional woman. I deeply value her skills and integrity. It was shocking to see sensationalist media outlets fabricate stories simply because she shared a meal with me and my assistant. The sex-for-power scandal is not only outrageous but a blatant lie! Although the rumor has been debunked, I felt compelled to address it tonight. I cannot stand by and watch a promising architectural designer like Eva become the target of a smear campaign. Let it be known that she is completely innocent of all the allegations made against her."Owen's voice rang with conviction as he spoke, his eyes sweeping across the audience.Owen continued, "Eva's contributions to our projects have been invaluable, and her dedication is unmatched. It is unfortunate that such falsehoods can spread so easily, damaging the reputation of a true professional. I hope tonight serves as a reminder to us all about the importance of truth and
