Chapter 1236
In the evening, Blake went to the hotel, wanting to bring Liam his
laptop bag and some clothes before returning to her apartment.
Before she knocked on the door, she saw that the door was already
open. Liam stood there dressed in his pajamas, looking much better.
“You’re back?” His tone was gentle.
Blake regained her senses and said, “Mhm, I’ve helped you get
everything back. See if there is anything I missed.”
Walking into the living room, she noticed her messy house was clean
and tidy. Even the air smelled fresh, and the blanket she left on the
sofa was folded. Every corner was swept spotless.
“You’ve cleaned up all this?” Blake looked at him, surprised. She felt
embarrassed and said, “Didn’t I tell you to rest? Why did you do this?”
running in the kitchen where something was braised. Liam took the
things over naturally and said, “Go and wash your hands first. I made
some potato soup. It’ll be done soon.”
Blake wanted to say something more but hesitated. In the end, she
said, “What about your medicine? Did you feel better after taking
them? Is your head still hurting?”
Liam shook her head and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. I’ll get you

piling food onto her plate. Blake’s mind was filled with all the words Cecilia had
told her, “I’m giving you three days. If I don’t get an answer from you once the time’s up, I’ll kill Madelyn.”
“Think carefully, Blake. My patience is limited. You know I’m a woman of my word. Madelyn is helpless without Zach’s protection.
All it would take to kill her is just a few words from me.” Cecilia’s words kept ringing in her head.
Suddenly, Blake accidentally dropped her utensils out of frustration. and apologized swiftly, “I’m so sorry.”
Liam stopped her from picking up her fork and replied, “It’s okay, I can pick it up.”
After that, Liam helped her change into a new set of utensils. He
passed it to her and asked, “Did something happen at the company? Are you free to talk?”

Blake thought she could not hide the truth anymore. She could no longer bear it the instant she made up her mind and placed
her utensils down. Her gaze was thoughtful as Blake stared at the gentleman before her. She said, “Liam, tell me truthfully. When
you leave StartReading Literary and return to the Xander family, will you enter the political world and plot against Kevin with
Cecilia?”
Liam’s expression changed drastically. The hurt from her distrust was visible in his eyes as he asked, “Even you don’t believe
me?”
