Chapter 1051

The maid rushed to Audrey’s side with a mix of concern. She reprimanded her, “Ms. Parker, you need to rest! Mr. Parker has been worried sick about you and has arranged for your transportation.”

The maid continued, “You know how important your father’s image is, being the mayor of Ventropolis.

And Mr. Harrison… he’s just an assistant, nothing compared to your status. Your father would be livid if he knew about your association with him. Your sister’s recent issue isn’t helpful, too.”

She listed her grievances, finally demanding compensation, “For the lock, the door, my emotional distress that’s at least five hundred dollars!”

Surprisingly, Kevin calmly took out his ID card from his wallet and gave Blake his wallet. He asked, “Will this cover it?”

Blake stood there, heart pounding. The fluttering sensation in her chest grew stronger. The rapid beats After a long, tense moment, Blake asked, “What are you doing, Kevin?”
