21 Blake’s Confrontation With Matt
Blake knew full well that venturing into this meeting, in response to Matt's cryptic late-night call, could very well be a perilous trap. Yet, he had no choice but to confront him. Twenty years had elapsed, and every single moment since the tragic loss of his parents, Blake had relentlessly pursued the truth. Now, standing face to face with the perpetrator, he must not under-estimate Matt."Look at you, Blake, growing up to resemble your father," Matt remarked, his voice tinged with a surprising blend of surprise and sentiment, as if he had not betrayed him in the past. “You looked much like me when I was your age,” he went on. A casual grin danced upon his lips, and Blake was wary of Matt concealing the treachery he had inflicted upon his sister and brother-in-law with some of his father's pack.Blake's gaze narrowed, “You must have ruined your brain from the torment of your guilt, and forgotten that I am your aggrieved nephew,” he told him, cautious of the facade Matt presented.

22 Blake’s Mounting Frustrations and Lily’s Hurt Feelings
"Blake," Lily interjected, her voice filled with concern and her eyes displaying a mix of earnestness and worry, "I truly believe in his sincerity. But have you ever thought about detaining him for further investigation? We shouldn't underestimate the possibility that he might be revealing something genuinely important. What if we dismiss his claims now and later regret it deeply?"Blake's brow furrowed as he pondered Lily's unexpected interruption. Typically, he would become irritated when someone dared to suggest how he should handle a situation. In his mind, he questioned why she felt the need to interfere in his dealings with the traitor. His anger simmered like a hot iron suddenly doused with cold water, and he silently wished that Andrew would whisk her away from him at that moment. Blake, however, managed to suppress his frustration, opting not to express it, mindful of potentially hurting her feelings unintentionally. Surprisingly, her voice had a soothing effect on him, easin

24 George’s Private Talk with Blake
He shook his head, attempting to rationalize the situation. "It's impossible. A simple kiss can't impregnate her, right?" he muttered, his voice confused. What if Emily was right? He wondered. Could it be Jake’s? How much does he know of Lily?Emily's gaze softened, her concern shifting towards a more plausible explanation. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on Blake's arm, offering reassurance. "I understand your worry, but let's consider a more likely cause. I believe she passed out due to lack of nourishment. She hasn't eaten anything since that cup of coffee this morning," she reasoned, her voice laced with practicality.As she spoke, Emily's tone shifted slightly, her frustration seeping into her words. "She was gone this morning before I could even call her for breakfast. And then she skipped lunch because she thought you were mad at her. She even wanted to go home. Now it's late in the afternoon. Honestly, it's partly your fault. I think you should go and prepare her

George nodded solemnly, his gaze fixed on Blake. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm implying. I was with Matt among the onlookers during the inauguration. When the shoot-out occurred, resulting in the deaths of your parents, Greta’s parents, and their two right-hand individuals, Matt was taken aback and momentarily frozen. However, he quickly regained his composure and managed to identify the source of the attack. He rushed toward it but I stopped him. I don’t want him get involved in that shooting but his involvement with this group forced him to flee and go into hiding when one of the caught ally sold him as the mastermind of the shoot-out."Blake's mind raced as he tried to piece together the puzzle, his thoughts consumed by the revelation George had shared. He couldn't help but wonder if Lily was aware of this information.

With a gentle touch, Blake settled Matt down and inquired, "I'm going to get you some water. Is there anything else you'd like?""Just water, please," Matt replied, his frail appearance contrasting with the Matt Blake had known in his youth. Blake stepped out of the family room to fetch the water, leaving Matt with George, who observed silently as Blake transformed from a being filled with resentment to a concerned son."I couldn't help but wonder how you managed to convince Blake of the truth," Matt spoke to George, his voice filled with a sense of hopelessness that had lingered mere moments ago.George handed Matt a time-tattered envelope he had retrieved after Blake rushed to rescue Matt from the dungeon.
