Chapter 1060 Blake realized she could not cover up any longer. She forced a smile, playfully grabbed Jill's hand, and said, “Jill, fancy seeing you here!” Then, Blake headed to her office without looking back. Her office soon buzzed with rumors about her and Kevin.

“I need to be alone,” Madelyn said, hurrying to her room.
