Chapter 1461

Ursula felt a blend of amusement and exasperation; it had only been a few days since she met Hobart, and he was already confessing his feelings—he seemed a bit too eager for her taste. "Thank you," she said, her face brightening with a warm smile as she accepted the flowers and breathed in their sweet fragrance. "I really love these!" Ursula tactfully sidestepped his advances, not providing a direct answer. With so many cameras filming their every move, she didn't want to put Hobart in an awkward position. Hobart, however, misinterpreted her subtlety, assuming that if she liked the flowers, she must like him too. "What about me?" he asked, a hopeful look in his eyes. "Mr. Combes, you're a wonderful person, and I like you too, but—" "Chandler!" Before Ursula could finish, Chandler suddenly collapsed, coughing up blood. Helen hurried to his side, swiftly checking his pulse. Her expression darkened as she looked at Jenson and Adrian. "Quickly, take him to the room!" she commanded.
