The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1300
Blake kept using Kevin as an excuse to talk herself into marrying Liam.
When she had been in Northern Myanmar, Blake had noticed Cecilia’s high status there and how the people there treated her with utmost respect. Blake knew that she was most likely involved in the explosion. Her fists clenched tightly, and her whole body tensed up, a deep, dull emotional pain coursing through her. Blake’s eyes welled with tears as she gazed out the car window, her emotions rising.
After they arrived at the Harper residence, Blake exited the car with Cecilia following closely into the foyer. Grace asked, “Blake, where have you been? Liam…”
Simon clutched his chest and stood up from the couch. Upon seeing Cecilia also appear at the door, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed. Simon walked over and said, “Blake, come here.”
Blake obediently walked over. Grace stepped forward, gripped her hand, and shielded her behind, saying to Cecilia, ” What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here. Get out now.”
Cecilia removed her sunglasses, chuckled disbelievingly, and said, ”
Blake is my younger sister. As her only sister, I naturally have the right to get involved in her marriage. Of course, in gratitude for all these years of raising my sister, I’m covering all the expenses for her wedding. Oh! By the way, that also includes all her post-marriage expenses.”
Grace gave Simon an uncomfortable glance. The three of them standing together looked like a family, leaving Cecilia distinctly as the outsider. Blake suddenly spoke up when everyone stayed silent, “Before, you coerced me into doing what you wanted and went to great lengths to manipulate me into marrying Liam. But this time, Cecilia, I’ve made up my mind. I want a divorce from Liam. I won’t let you manipulate me anymore.” Grace tightly held her hand, and sweat formed in their palms.
Blake held both hers and Liam’s marriage certificate. It was something Liam had given her. He had said that if she ever wanted a divorce, she could take the marriage certificate to the courthouse.
Cecilia smirked, “Blake, even if you divorce Liam, do you think the Xander family will take it lightly? Liam is Julian’s most precious son. If you hurt Liam, do you really think all of you and your adoptive mother can still get by in Ventropolis? Oh, and your daughter, Mya…”
When Cecilia brought up Mya, Blake promptly interrupted loudly, “Cecilia, our family affairs are none of your business.”
However, Grace asked persistently, ” What happened to Mya? Tell us what you know!”
Simon clutched his heart, and Blake’s heart started racing. ‘Uncle’s got a weak heart. If he and Aunt discover that Mya has been assigned abroad by that jerk Fred, who knows what kind of shock they might experience.’
Blake said, “Aunt, don’t listen to her nonsense. She has no other means besides threatening people.”
“Blake, why are you talking about me like this? I’m just doing it for your own good.” With that, Cecilia raised her hand, glanced at the time on her wrist, and continued, “Alright, let’s not waste any more time here. Mr. Xander is still waiting for us to discuss the wedding.”
While speaking, Cecilia shot a suggestive look towards Blake.
‘Yeah, Julian is about to run for the position of mayor. Everyone thinks he’s the most suitable candidate. They’ve even drafted the announcement and plan to release it officially on election day.’
In the end, Blake gave in. On the way to the Xander residence, Blake occupied the middle seat, her hand held tightly by Grace, who was both anxious and worried. “Blake, what did Cecilia mean just now? What’s going on with Mya? Is she having a relapse of her condition? Has she gone missing? Mya! My poor Mya!”
Simon scolded, “Alright, stop crying. Mya has always been lucky since childhood. She’ll be fine.”
Blake hesitated before saying, “Aunt, don’t worry. Mya just went abroad for treatment. It’s just unclear what Fred is really thinking.”
Grace said, “Yeah! Ever since that jerk started abusing and mistreating Mya, her mind has been deteriorating. Mya used to be perfectly normal, and she was so smart. If Fred doesn’t like her, he could just send her back. Why insist on sending her away?”
