Chapter 1169
A bulky, chubby-looking guy among the group of people licked his lips.
and said with a smile, “Ms. Samford, you didn’t need to come here
personally over such a trivial matter. Rest assured, if he wakes up, I
promise to skin this guy alive for you.”
Cecilia responded, “You guys are so loosely organized just because
Zach is no longer keeping you in check now?”
“Ms. Samford, you do know that our boss has already stopped doing
anything illegal. Now, we can only earn a little money to make ends
meet. We didn’t expect this jerk to be so bold as to mess with that
situation. Now our base has been swept. Ms. Samford, what should
we do?
“To be honest, the jobs that our boss had us do were indeed quite
nice, we didn’t need to spend much time and effort, but the earnings
were too little. Is there any solution?”
Cecilia waved her hand, and the caregiver who helped push Cecilia’s
wheelchair quietly walked out of the ward.
The door to the ward was finally closed.
Blake returned to Liam’s room. She pondered, ‘I’m not sure if I
misheard, but I think I heard Cecilia’s voice. But why would she come
here?’
With questions in her mind, Blake fed Liam some soup. After taking
the medicine and the IV drip, Blake helped Liam put on a jacket before leaving the ward.

Liam asked, “You’ve been absent-minded since you came back. Did
something happen?”
Blake decided not to tell Liam. Considering his weak health condition,
she felt it was better to let him continue doing what he enjoyed, like
writing novels.
Blake responded, “Nothing. I was just wondering if there’s any
unfinished work. I took a day off for you today. so just rest at home. If there are any important
documents that need to be dealt with, I’ll
contact you. There was a publisher who wanted to meet you today to
discuss book publication matters, but I’ve postponed it for you.”
Blake supported Liam as they walked, multitasking by handling the
emails on her phone.
Neither of them brought up the incident that happened between them.
Liam knew that bringing it up again would only make Blake feel
disgusted and distance herself even more.
“Blake?”
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Blake immediately looked up and saw Cecilia waiting for the elevator.
Blake smiled faintly. “Ms. Samford, what a coincidence! Are you feeling better?”
Cecilia nodded with a gentle smile. “Yes, much better. Is Mr. Xander
sick?”
Seeing that Liam had no intention of joining the conversation, Blake replied, “Yes, he’s a little unwell. I
took him here to get IVs.”
The elevator arrived on their floor, and the four of them entered. After

Blake said that, none of them talked in the elevator.

Then, Cecilia broke the silence. “You probably know about Kevin’s
resignation, right?”
Blake nodded. “Yes.”

Cecilia lightly tapped the side of her wheelchair with her fingers. “Who
do you think is the most suitable to replace him?”
Blake gave a neutral response, “I’m no longer part of the secretarial department. As for who is suitable
to replace him, you can make the decision. I’m just an assistant; I have no say in this matter.’
Cecilia lowered her head and smiled, showing a cunning expression.
When the elevator’s doors opened, Cecilia left without saying
anything, her wheelchair being pushed by her caregiver.
When Blake and Liam arrived in the hospital parking lot outside, she
sat in the driver’s seat. “Liam, what do you think of Ms. Samford?”
Liam squinted as he looked at the incoming call displayed on his phone. He turned off the vibration of
his phone and put it back into his pocket. “No opinion. I just simply don’t like her.”
Blake nodded thoughtfully. “Actually, I don’t like her either. I don’t know why, but I always feel like the
way she looks at me is so cunning. When I was her assistant, I could never figure out what she was
thinking. When she was pregnant, she seemed to imply to me that the child she was pregnant with
belonged to Mr. Jardin, but I was told that Mr. Jardin had never been involved with her. So… What is
Cecilia up to?”
Liam responded, “Be careful of her. She isn’t as simple as you think.”

Blake was surprised. “Even you can tell that?”
Liam smiled slightly. “I’ve been writing for so many years, so I can kind of guess what people are
thinking most of the time. Anyway, I have something I’d like to ask for your help with, do you mind?”
Blake replied, “No matter what it is, I’ll agree. After all, you’ve helpednovelbin
me so much. Just tell me.”
Liam said, “Accompany me to the Xander residence.”
Blake exclaimed, “Y-Your home?”
Liam leaned back in the car seat with closed eyes. “To be exact, it’s my father’s new family’s home. I
owe him a favor, so I have to attend
this meal.”
Blake thought, ‘It seems that everything Kevin said about Liam was
true. Liam’s background isn’t simple. And his father was the reason I was released from the holding
cell. If that’s the case, I have no reason
to refuse him.’
She responded, “Okay, I’ll accompany you. But let’s make it clear, if I do something wrong, you have to
cover for me. I’m used to being casual, and I don’t know much about the etiquette of wealthy families
Liam smiled. “Okay! I’ll be with you every step of the way. I can’t leave you to your own devices,
especially considering the circumstances.”
