Blair hastily shook her head.
“It’s okay. Wesley just had a few questions to ask me… That’s all…”
Blair’s voice gradually trailed off under Hartwell’s sharp gaze. How could she tell a lie in front of her cousin? He was a man of power and influence, and young at that. Besides that, he was her family.
Indeed, Hartwell had figured it out, and saw into the young girl’s heart. Joslyn had already told him Blair was heartbroken after being turned down by the man she loved. He had been wondering who it was.
Imagine his surprise-it was Wesley
Hartwell just thought Blair merely admired Wesley, just like any other girl worshiping a star. He never imagined her feelings for him were something more than that.
Now he finally pieced everything together. Wesley was a hot-blooded young man, ambitious, and driven. As far as love went, he was clueless, so it wasn’t surprising that he turned Blair down.
“Got an explanation, Wesley?” Hartwell asked coldly.

As soon as Blair cinto the room, Niles called out excitedly, “Hi
Blair. I saved a seat for you.” He stood up and gallantly pulled out the chair next to his own.
Blair couldn’t turn him down. She glanced at Adalson and then walked around the table to Niles’ side. She managed to keep her smile steady.
Wesley walked in just as she sat down
The first thing he saw was Blair sitting next to Niles. Wesley was a little surprised and then heard Niles say, “Hey Wesley. Have a seat next to Mom.”
