Chapter 1206
“Removing him? What does human life mean to you, Ms. Samford? We live in a society governed by
law. Do you understand the
implications of your words?” Liam challenged.
Cecilia remained composed. “Do you think your father is innocent? Ask him what it means to clash with
the powerful in this society. He might have more insight than me. Liam, there are countless hands
manipulating things above us.”
Cecilia offered one final piece of advice, “Kevin and Zach are cut from the same cloth. List their crimes,
and they’d be imprisoned indefinitely. You’ll learn more once you assume your father’s position.”
After a final glance at the closed door, Cecilia declared, “That’s all I have to say. Take good care of
Blake. I’ll visit her tomorrow.”
At that moment, Blake weakly emerged from the ward, leaning against the wall.

Blake, with a questioning gaze, turned to Cecilia. “So, your plan all
along was to bring down Mr. Jardin and Kevin, then take over the
company? Even so, you shouldn’t have targeted Kevin’s life! I have no
memory of my childhood. I’ve been with the Dion family for as long as
I can remember. I have no connection to you, and I’m not your lost
sister.”
Blake had overheard everything from inside the ward and realized
Liam’s identity. All she could think of was to escape, she did not want
to stay there another moment.
Blake, where are you going?” Liam asked, following her.
“Don’t touch me,” Blake’ said, her mind in turmoil. “Liam, I’m sorry! I need to be alone. I want to go
home.”
Liam, concerned for her safety, insisted, “It’s not safe for you to go alone. I’ll take you home.”
Blake hurriedly left, ignoring everyone.
Cecilia signaled her bodyguards to discreetly follow Blake. When Blake entered the elevator, she
fainted.
“Blake!” Cecilia rushed over with a complex expression, but her bodyguards were quicker, preventing
the elevator doors from closing.
Liam moved to help Blake, but Cecilia intervened, “You don’t need to
do anything more. I will take her home. Mr. Xander, you should return
to your duties. I was considering shutting down StartReading
Literature, but for Blake’s sake, I’ll give you more time.”
Liam argued, “She should return to her family.”

Cecilia countered, “What for? What good are they? She should bear
the Samford name.”
Samford was Cecilia’s mother’s maiden name. Growing up, Cecilia’s
father had been an abusive alcoholic and gambler. Her mother, a
weak woman, had died from domestic violence while protecting
Blake. Her father, favoring sons, would have left Cecilia unnamed and
unregistered if not for the intervention of the other villagers in their
community.
3/2
After her mother’s death, Cecilia’s father remarried and began treating Cecilia and Blake worse, until
eventually they could bear it no longer and escaped. The two of them barely managed to scrape by, but
they were just happy to be free from being abused every day.
Cecilia recalled a cold autumn when she had been ill and Blake, trying to care for her, had stolen a
sweet potato from a field. However, she had been caught and beaten, and had no choice but to clutch
the sweet potato and run home, providing the only food they had.
