PopularNovelChapter 1296 Blake wished she could feel as Grace suggested, but she knew she could not. She could not stop loving Kevin, could not stop wanting to be with him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake recalled her quarrels with Kevin and her anger at him in the past, telling him to go as far away as possible and that she never wanted to see him again. Those all felt so hollow now.
She had given him her all, hoping to be by his side, even if it meant returning to her role as his insignificant assistant. What she once loathed had become her most desperate wish.
‘Kevin, you promised me you'd return after three years, yet here | am, feeling abandoned. If given the chance, I'd erase every quarrel, every harsh word,’ Blake mused, her heart heavy with regret and yearning.
Grace expressed her concern, “Look at this. Ventropolis is not safe anymore. Be careful when you go out. I'm worried about Mya. | fear she might have gotten into trouble, possibly even abducted.” Blake took Grace's phone and saw a news report about a crackdown on three illegal human trafficking rings in Ventropolis, including a raid on entertainment venues connected to drug trafficking. Over a hundred people were rescued, intended to be sold in Northern Myanmar.

Eventually, they were stopped at the southern border, and the clues uncovered revealed that many people had been kidnapped and Chapter 1796 were to be secretly taken to the northern Myanmar region.
The news also mentioned a girl abducted in broad daylight and found dead with her organs removed. Another headline popped up about a crime lord’s son from Northern Myanmar being arrested in a Silverbay casino, hinting at chaos in the criminal world there. Blake did not watch the linked video, feeling a growing unease.
‘Could the unrest be because of Kevin? What happened in Northern Myanmar after | left?’ Blake pondered, her worry deepening.
Grace noticed Blake's distraction and asked, “What's wrong? What are you looking at?” Blake handed back the phone to Grace and said, “Nothing. Just surprised by the news.” Grace worriedly added, “Yes, such incidents never occurred in Ventropolis before, where people could be brazenly kidnapped in broad daylight. The Turner family isn’t someone we can afford to provoke. When you ask about Mya, you must also ensure your safety.
Your parents entrusted me to take good care of you, and they wouldn't want to return and find you in bad shape. That would leave them devastated.” Blake reassured her, “I'm fine, just dealing with some issues. I'll overcome them.” To lighten the mood, Blake joined Liam and Simon in the living room and asked, “Who won?" Simon smiled proudly. “Liam, you played well. | look forward to more games with you. You should visit us more often.” Chapter 1296 3/3 Liam agreed with a smile, then addressed Blake, “Your uncle won.” As the night grew late, they all prepared for bed. Before Grace and Simon headed upstairs, they advised the younger couple, “You two should get some rest as well.” Blake responded, “Good night.” Once Grace and Simon were upstairs, Blake suggested to Liam, “Let's go to bed.” “Okay,” Liam agreed and followed Blake to her room.
