Ignoring the young mans insinuations, Blayze suggested, Perhaps you should head upstairs to figure out your next steps.
Sure, catch you later, the young man said, throwing one last look at Sabrina before he and his companions headed upstairs.
Once they were gone, Blayzes expression turned stern, a shadow crossing his features. Hes Rex, a distant relative of mine, Blayze revealed, watching the young mans retreating figure.
Sabrina froze. After Tyrone cleared his name, he launched a counteroffensive, leading to a key figure from the Evans family being ousted and handed over to the prosecutors office for legal proceedings.
Sabrina recalled that this individual from the Evans family was actually Blayzes uncle. Given Rexs father faced prosecution, it was no wonder Rex bore resentment toward Tyrone.
Once they finished their meal, Blayze drove Sabrina back to her hotel.
Back at the Fowler family residence.
Horace was seated with an air of expectancy, his eyebrows lifting as Blayze entered. What kept you away last night? You didnt spend the night at the Springhill house either.
The Springhill house served as one of Blayzes occasional retreats, especially when he opted not to return to the Fowler family residence.
Blayze took a moment before sitting down and requested a glass of water from a servant. Dad, Im grown. Is it wrong for me to attend to my own needs?
You Horaces frustration was palpable, yet Blayze felt a glimpse of amusement in Horaces reaction and the corners of his mouth twitched upward in a smirk.
Blayze suspected Horace was well aware of his movements the previous night. Horace simply said those words to warn him to stay away from Sabrina. After all, Sabrina was his half-brothers ex-wife.
With a huff, Horace warned, Youve seen the trouble your uncle found himself in. Tyrone is not someone to underestimate. Yet, you persist in your pursuit of Sabrina?
A smirk played on Blayzes lips. If not for your actions, covertly favoring your other son, my uncles fate could have been different.
Sierra, who had been eavesdropping from the second-floor staircase, silently retreated to her room upon hearing this exchange.

After consulting the lawyer, Bettie prepared two contracts and forwarded them to Lance for him to review. I find your suggestion fair, and Im on board with it. Please take a look at these two contracts. If everything Looks good, we can get them signed with the lawyer present.
Roughly ten minutes later, Lance responded, I have a few questions. Are you available to chat now? Id prefer we discuss this in person.
Bettie thought for a moment before responding, Sure, head over to the coffee shop just below my apartment complex. Give me a ring when youre almost there.
Will do.
About twenty minutes later, Bettie arrived at the coffee shop. She scanned the area but didnt see Lance yet. So, she picked a spot in the corner to sit down.
Not even two minutes had passed when a man sporting gold-rimmed glasses entered. He had an air of elegance and intelligence about him.
Pausing to look around the cafe, his gaze settled on Bettie, and he made his way over. He pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.
So, youve made it. Have you had a chance to go through the contracts? Feel free to ask any questions, Bettie offered. She was open to discussion, though she knew there might be points she wouldnt agree with.
Seeing Bettie cut to the chase, Lance replied, Alright, Ill be direct. The contracts say we need to act as a loving couple. What exactly does that mean? I thought it was only meant to be a sham marriage.
