The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1260
Blake could not refute what Cecilia said at all. She could not even utter a word. Cecilia continued to press on her, saying, “Blake, Madelyn isn’t that great. How about managing the company with me? I’m the CEO, and you’ll be the Deputy CEO. Jardin Corporation belongs to us.”
Seeing that she was still so stubborn, Blake shook off her hand and said harshly, “Don’t try to brainwash me and tempt me with these pretty words. I know what you’re up to. I just came here today to see if you’re dead.”
The bodyguard brought in the washed fruits and placed them on the bedside table next to Blake.
Blake stood up without looking at Cecilia. She was lost in her thoughts, ‘ What did I actually expect? That she’d change? Her greed will only gradually become more uncontrollable. She seems to have lost her mind and wants to hurt Madelyn.’
She said, “I thought I could persuade you, but you’re beyond help. Keep your fruits to yourself; I’m worried they’re poisoned.”
Cecilia shouted, “Blake!”
Blake ignored her and angrily left. In the ward, Cecilia suddenly got out of bed. The pain and weakness in her legs caused her to fall. The bodyguard nearby helped her up, “Be careful, Ms. Samford.”
“You useless piece of garbage. You can’t even keep her around. What good are you?” Cecilia slapped the bodyguard hard.
When she thought about the child she was pregnant with, she suppressed her emotions.
After Blake walked out of the hospital, Liam was already waiting at the entrance. She opened the front passenger seat door. Liam asked, ” What’s wrong? Things didn’t go well?”
She replied, “Let’s go back. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Liam saw that Blake was in a bad mood and did not ask about it further. Instead, he tried to comfort her. ” Blake, why haven’t you agreed to marry me? Is it because you’re still concerned about Mr. Jardin’s wife?
“I’ve already had people look for her. When we find her, my people will protect her secretly. Rest assured, nothing unexpected will happen.”
Blake frowned at him and raised her voice, “What did you say? You sent people to find Madelyn? But no one knows her whereabouts except for Cecilia!
“Didn’t I tell you that after sorting out the matter with Cecilia, Kai will be able to find Madelyn? Won’t what you do alert Cecilia? What if she finds out about it? Wouldn’t it put Madelyn in a more dangerous situation?”
Looking at the road ahead, Liam focused on driving. He instinctively said, “It won’t.”
Blake squinted, “How do you know it won’t? Do you know something?”
Liam tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His palms suddenly became sweaty. He pursed his lips, “No, you’re overthinking it.”
Blake nodded. She felt a little guilty when she thought about how she had occasionally doubted him. That was because Liam was the first person who unconditionally believed in her and treated her so well.
Her voice softened as she said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you. It’s just that I’ve been too nervous lately. I always suspect Cecilia and the people around me.
“I’m really sorry. Liam, besides you, I don’t know who to trust anymore!”
“It’s okay.”
Liam said inwardly, ‘I’m sorry, Blake. Forgive me; this is the first time I’ve lied to you.
‘And it will also be the last time!
‘I want to be a bit selfish this time. I just want to keep you by my side.’
When Blake returned to the company, she would occasionally contact Kai secretly.
