Blake said honestly, “No, the person I just talked to on the phone is
my superior. I’ve been transferred to StartReading as the editor-in- chief’s assistant. My salary remains
the same as before. My
boyfriend used to be the CEO’s assistant, but something happened, and he’s not working at the
company anymore.”
Grace replied, “The CEO’s assistant? That should come with a decent
salary!”
Blake responded, “I never asked, but he’s an orphan and doesn’t have
many people around him. I try to spend time with him occasionally,
but he’s pretty busy.”
Grace pondered before nodding. She held Blake’s hand and patted it.
When you two have some free time, bring him home. Let me see if
he’s someone worth spending your life with.” Grace suddenly
remembered something and asked, “By the way, what about the guy Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
your mother introduced to you last time? Are you not satisfied with
him?”
Upon hearing this, Blake did not know where to start, so she told
Grace roughly everything that had happened recently.
Grace then said, “It seems like a complicated situation, but
relationships are indeed unpredictable. If you like him, then you like
him. However, from what you said, you seem particularly fond of this
guy named Kevin. I’m curious how he managed to make you so
upset. Growing up, you’ve been around many men from prestigious
families, although not as prominent as the Jent family or the CEO of

Jardin Corporation. Compared to ordinary families, our families are
quite decent too.”
After that, Grace added, “How’s the Arnold family doing now? Back in
the day, the Harper family used to receive a lot of help from the
Arnolds, but now we rarely hear about them for some reason. Simon
and I wanted to visit them a while ago, but we found their place
empty. I wonder if they moved away or got into some trouble. We
were planning to ask Ms. Jent, but unfortunately, we never got a
chance to talk to her.”
Blake, looking anxious, hurriedly said, “No, the situation is
complicated now. No matter what, we mustn’t bring up anything
related to the Arnold family. It’s a long story, but we shouldn’t talk
about the Arnold family to anyone, especially Mr. Jardin and Madelyn.
Blake, being an insider, knew a lot that the outside world was
unaware of, such as a previous incident where an entertainment news
outlet had reported a story about the entanglement between the
Arnold family and Zach for easy money and more clicks on their
website.
The article had been published online for less than twenty minutes
before Jardin Corporation’s public relations department discovere

management, their legal department took action on that very sam
day. By the next day, the legal representatives of that media compa
were all behind bars, and rumor had it that they would not be out
at least three to five years.
The Arnold family instantly became a taboo topic in all of Ventropolis.
Grace and Blake chatted a lot. When Blake noticed Grace covered her

mouth and yawned, she said, “I just checked the time, and it’s already eleven at night. Grace, you
should go back to your room and sleep. After I finish work tomorrow, we can chat again.”
Grace put her hand down. Her eyes were filled with sadness. “I took
up so much of your time. I didn’t expect we could chat for so long. I’ll
go and sleep now. You should sleep early too. Let me know what you
want for breakfast, and I’ll make it for you.”
Blake replied, “Don’t trouble yourself. I’ll just grab something when I
go to the office.”
Grace responded, “Let’s just have breakfast at home tomorrow. You’re already back home, after all.
How could I possibly let you buy your breakfast outside?”
Blake did not reject Grace, she nodded. “Sure.”
Blake chatted with Grace energetically just now, and once they
stopped talking, she felt very sleepy. She heard her phone vibrate
again.
It was a text from Liam: [Good night:]
Blake replied: [Good night.]
The moment Blake put down her phone, she picked it up again and
sent a message to Kevin, who still had not replied to her.
She texted: [Are you home? I’m going to sleep now. Good night.]
After switching off the lights in the room, Blake tried to stay up as she
held her phone. After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, she
fell asleep with the phone in her hand.

Meanwhile, in an apartment, Kevin was sitting on the sofa skillfully wrapping bandages on himself. On
the coffee table, there were
alcohol wipes that had been used to clean his wounds.
The phone on the glass coffee table lit up for a moment. Kevin picked
up the phone with his hands bloody, as the light from the phone. reflected in his dark pupils. After
glancing at his phone, he
immediately put it back down.
