Sabrina tried to pull away but couldnt break free from his firm grip.
Feeling uncomfortable, Sabrina looked at him and softly called out, Blayze
Blayze released her hand and slumped back in his chair. Do you despise me now?
What? Why would you say that? Sabrina asked.
Because my uncle Blayzes words trailed off. He grabbed the wine glass from the table, draining it in one go, and then slowly filled it again. My uncle interfered with Tyrones investigation into your fathers case He tried to pin the blame on Larry. Remember when I told you the Evans family was clashing with Tyrone over some business?

Blayze was stunned at her words. Then, with a strained smile, he looked up at Sabrina. Youre right, so
He lifted his gaze to meet hers, his expression turning somber. Do you want to know why?
hy? Sabrina inquired, curiosity piqued.
Blayze bowed his head, gripping the glass so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Striving for composure, he confessed, Because my uncle despises the Blakely family, and so do I.
