Chapter 1153
Suddenly, Blake’s phone was flooded with notifications from her group chat.
[Breaking news! It’s bad. Today, someone from HR leaked the information that Mr. Harrison
is resigning. Even the HR manager doesn’t dare to approve it.]
[What? Mr. Harrison is resigning? Oh no, my idol is leaving? If he leaves, other women out
there will have the chance to pursue him. So annoying. What should I do to keep my
man?]
[Since when did Mr. Harrison become your man? Clearly, he’s my
husband!]
[I’m not like some people who change their minds all the time. Weren’t you into Mr. Jardin?
Why are you stooping to steal my ma
[He’s married. But going back to the point, will Jardin Corporation shut down soon? Mr.
Harrison is actually resigning! My goodness, I
can’t even imagine.]

Liam returned to his office from a meeting with the editors. He saw
Blake, who was troubled and constantly making calls. Concerned, Liam approached and
asked, “Who are you calling? Is it very urgent?”
Blake kept hearing the phone’s ringtone as the calls were not being

Liam asked again, “Who are you calling?”

After putting down the phone, Blake answered, “Kevin has resigned.
Do you know about this?”
Liam nodded, “I just heard.”
Blake did not understand, “Why did he resign? And it happened right
after I transferred. Is something happening in the company?”
Liam responded indifferently, “Blake, StartReading is an independent
company. What’s happening in Jardin Corporation has nothing to do
with us. Moreover, those matters are company confidential
information and won’t be easily disclosed to the public.
“As for what happened, I’m afraid only he knows.”
“I must ask him and get to the bottom of this. How could he t
me and then resign? There must be some reason behind it.”
When Blake was about to leave, Liam reached out to stop her, “B don’t act on impulse.
There must be something going on. Don’t j get involved impulsively, or you might get in
trouble.”
Blake was lost in her thoughts, ‘That’s right! I have no connection with people from Jardin
Corporation any more. If it weren’t for the gossip messages in the group chat every day, I
probably wouldn’t even know that Kevin was leaving.
‘I don’t know why, but I don’t feel good knowing he’s leaving. Perhaps I’m just stubborn. I
know he’s not a good person, yet I still worry about him.’
Liam said, “If you want to find out about something, I’ll accompany you.”
Blake shook her head, “I feel like I need to figure this out. Otherwise, I
won’t be able to sleep well at night.’
She believed Kevin should not have gone far yet. She did not waste
any time and immediately left the tenth-floor office. When she got to the company’s
entrance, she looked around. While searching for Kevin, she saw a black car coming out of
the underground parking lot.
Blake was standing at the side. Kevin, inside the car, casually dressed, was gripping the
steering wheel tightly. He did not glance at Blake; he pretended not to see her.
She mustered her courage and stood in front of the car. Kevin, who was about to leave,
was forced to stop. The two stared at each other through the car window.
After he took his hands off the steering wheel, he lit a cigarette.
rarely saw him smoke. She walked to the front passenger side, opened the door, and sat in
the car. She looked at him and asked straightforwardly, “Why are you resigning?”
Kevin drove the car with one hand and parked it near the company’s entrance. He rested
his hand, which was holding the cigarette, outside the car window, “When did it become
your turn to interfere in my affairs? Who are you to do that? Get out of the car!”
Blake gathered her courage and said, “Your ex-girlfriend.”
She could not see Kevin’s expression. He was slightly stunned and said, “Mind your own

Blake knew that Kevin was brushing her off. She felt that something was going on with him
and that it was related to her.

However, before she could say something, Kevin added, “Even if you know, what can you
do? You should stay in the company. This
comfortable life suits you.
“Don’t get involved in things you shouldn’t know. It’s not good for you.”
Blake replied, “So, you’re worried about me? Last time, you deliberately provoked me to
make me propose the transfer, right? Kevin Harrison, I realized you’re very cunning. No
wonder so many people say you’re hard to deal with.
“Anyway, we have been in a relationship. Is there anything that I can’t know?”
Kevin threw away the cigarette that he had taken a few puffs, “You never change. You
know you were manipulated, yet you still want get involved. Blake, what are you
thinking?!”
Kevin lowered the car window as he watched a man walking out of the company.
Blake pursed her lips, “All right, I’ll ask you two final questions. Did you leave because Ms.
Samford forced you, or did you leave willingly?”
Kevin remained silent.
Blake asked, “Second question: will you come back?”
Kevin replied, “No.”
He sounded very decisive, making Blake’s heart skip a bit.
