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

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

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

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

While Liam was driving Blake back to the office, she closed her laptop and put it in her bag. She said, "Just drop me off at the subway station. I might need to go somewhere else later."Liam asked, "Where do you need to go? I can give you a ride."Blake pursed her lips, hesitated briefly, and said, "It's okay. I'm just going to buy something. I'll return to the company in a bit.""Okay." Liam went along with her decision without asking any more questions. He stopped the car at the subway's entrance, and Blake got off without a backward glance. She hurried into the subway station, unaware of the hurt in Liam's eyes caused by her distrust.SereneCare Hospital was completely under Cecilia's control. Blake approached the front desk and said, "Hello, I'm a staff member of Jardin Corporation. I'm here to visit Mr. Jardin. Here is my employee badge; you can take a look."The two people at the hospital front desk exchanged glances. They shook their heads and said, "Did you make an appoin
