Chapter 1240
Despite verbally agreeing to Liam’s suggestion, Blake stared out of
the car with a heavy heart. Liam seemed to sense her inner worries and hesitated before speaking,
“Don’t you need to tell Kevin about this? After all, this is an important matter, so you should make it
clear
to him.”
Blake replied, “It’s okay. I’ll explain this to him clearly.”
After returning to the office, Liam and Blake coincidentally ran into Cecilia as they entered the elevator,
with Susan following closely
behind. In the non-crowded elevator, there were only a few people.
Cecilia dressed in a professional outfit. Perhaps due to her recent
good mood, she had a glowing complexion.
“Great. Seems like you’ve taken my advice to heart.”
Blake ignored her, but Cecilia still offered, “If you encounter any date
troubles, like when you can’t get a reservation at a restaurant, you can
count on me for help.”
Liam was about to say something while Blake cut him off. The look in her eyes seemed to express, ‘It’s
not worth talking to someone like
that.’
The elevator quickly reached the tenth floor, and Blake and Liam exited. Outside the CEO’s office,
Cecilia stopped at the door and waved her hand. “Go ahead and get in for the morning briefing. I have
an important video conference call, so if there’s nothing else, don’t
bother me.”
Susan nodded and said, “Yes, Ms. Samford.”
As Susan turned to leave, Cecilia pushed the door open and walked
1. She found a man sitting at her desk with his back facing her. ”
You’re back so early?”
She walked over with a smile, and the door behind her closed slowly. Cecilia approached with a touch
of flirtation and embraced him from behind the chair. “Is everything sorted out over there? Anything I
can help with?”
Agustin held a document in his hand. As he set it down, he turned the chair, took Cecilia’s hand, and This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
wrapped his arm around her waist, gently pulling her closer. Cecilia went along with it and sat on
Agustin’s lap. He asked, “You still haven’t taken action after all this time. Is it because you can’t bear
to? Or are you struggling to make a
move?”
Suddenly, Cecilia burst into laughter, and the sound echoed in the office. She seemed like a temptress
who knew exactly how to charm men. Her hands hooked around Agustin’s neck, giving him a seductive
look. “Are you jealous?” she teased with a playful smile.
Cecilia continued, “Don’t worry. Zach is still in a coma. Even if he wakes up one day, he’ll just be a
vegetable and won’t interfere with our plans. What’s more, except for the underground intel-gathering
organization you mentioned, everything else is under our control, isn’t
it?
“Oh… I almost forgot! There’s also the inheritance Zach sneakily left for Madelyn. Do you really think I
care? Even if she holds that inheritance document, I can guarantee she won’t see a dime. The
company is now completely under my control! Zach belongs to me, and you are also mine!” Cecilia
said, treating the men as if they were a disposable plaything.
However, Agustin paid no mind to Cecilia’s words. His deep gaze focused on her, “I knew you’d be the
type of woman to prioritize power above all else. There are only two types of people in your eyes: those
you can use and those who can benefit you. You are
completely heartless.”
Agustin playfully lifted her chin with his fingers and kissed her fiery red lips. Cecilia laughed, and her
eyes filled with various ambitions.” Heart? What’s the point of having a heart? If I had a heart, I wouldn’t
be in this position, and I certainly wouldn’t have had the chance to meet you, who brings me all these
surprises.”
“How did the checkup go?”,
Cecilia reached out to caress his face. The man in front of her could
practically have been her dad’s age, but he kept himself well and seemed only in his mid-thirties. He
had a refined, bookish vibe, but who would have guessed he was just as ruthless as Zach, maybe even
more. “Are you so eager for me to have your child? Don’t worry. Someday, I’ll gradually seek justice for
our child from Madelyn.”
Cecilia grabbed his hand and placed it on her abdomen. Her eyes showed both fierceness and sorrow,
saying, “This was our first child, and I’m going to make her pay for it. Her child will be the one to
accompany ours in the grave.”
