Grace quietly left the room with the maid after making sure Blake was
soundly asleep. Grace answered the call with a cool tone as she
descended the stairs, “Ms. Samford?”
“Mrs. Harper,” came Cecilia’s response.
With a stern expression, Grace replied, “Ms. Samford, I’ve made it clear before; if Blake chooses to
acknowledge you, we won’t interfere.
But any further attempts to manipulate our family will not be tolerated. Do not call again, or we will
consider it harassment.”
With a decisive click, Grace ended the call.
In her office, Cecilia stared at her phone, her eyes seething with anger. She realized that as long as the
Harper family was in
Ventropolis, Blake would never accept her. She was determined to
remove the Harpers from the city.
‘I’ve worked tirelessly to provide Blake a better life,’ Cecilia thought. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Whether she likes it or not, I’m determined to see her as Mrs. Xander.
Madelyn, your life was spared because of her. Stay hidden, or else…’
Cecilia then sent a message to Liam. Meanwhile, he was driving back
to his apartment when he checked his vibrating phone. Seeing the
message, his face grew tense. Upon entering his apartment, he was
greeted by an unexpected sight. Ixia, cheerful in an apron, exclaimed, ”
Liam, you’re back!”
Liam’s frown deepened. He looked at her and then at the table set
with food, “How did you get in here?
Ixia smiled, “Cheer up, Liam. I came to surprise you. Look, I prepared all this food for you. Why don’t
you try some? Last time at The Deli, you promised to dine with me, so consider this me making up for
it.”
Liam’s gaze was icy. He said, “Ixia, I am not your brother. This is inappropriate. I have a girlfriend.
Clean this up and leave.”
But Ixia persisted, “It doesn’t bother me, Liam. We’re not blood- related, after all. And I know your
relationship with Blake isn’t real. It’s just for Dad, right? She doesn’t deserve you.”
Liam, visibly upset, demanded, “What do you want, Ixia?”
Ixia moved closer, “I like you, Liam, Dad said the Secretary-General position is yours when you return.
With our family’s backing, you won’t just be an editor. Think about it.”
Liam’s patience snapped, “Give me the key, now!”
Ixia avoided his gaze, “What key? I don’t know what you’re talking about, Liam.”
His voice grew firmer, “Hand over the key and leave.”
Ixia defiantly responded, “Why does Blake have all the privileges? I am your sister, and maybe even
more in the future. You can’t treat me like this!”
