Jeremiah’s smile froze. He thought that Spike had chosen to be with his mother, but unexpectedly...Spike looked at Mable and said seriously, “Mommy, I love you, and I also love Daddy. I don’t want you to divorce, but I also don’t want you to be sad. If... If you really end up separating, I want to be with Daddy. It’s not because I don’t love you, but... Daddy needs me more. Mommy, I’ll always be your son. I’ll always love you.”Mable looked at the sensible Spike and felt her nose sting.She only thought of fighting for custody of Spike, but she never considered whether Spike was willing to leave Blair to live with her...She felt guilty.She hugged Spike and said with heartache, “Don’t apologize, Spike. You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s all Mommy’s fault. I’m sorry. I can’t give you a perfect family.”Blair looked at Mable and Spike hugging and suddenly felt an impulse to embrace them.Spike looked up at his mother. “Mommy, if only you could recover your memory.”Mable was st
Meanwhile, Spike left Muller Manor with his daddy.In the car, he looked at his father and asked seriously, “Daddy, can you find a way to make Mommy recover her memories? I don’t want you to divorce.”Blair looked at his son, but before he could answer, Spike continued, “If you and Mommy divorce, you can’t see your daughter anymore.”Blair froze. “What did you say?”Beside them, Tracey asked with shock, “Spike, what daughter?”“Daddy’s daughter. My little sister.”Spike looked at his father and aunt and explained, “Mommy gave birth to a daughter. Her name is Lemon. She’s really cute and obedient, and she’s only a year and a half old. I asked Mommy, and she told me that Lemon is Mommy and your daughter.”Blair’s eyes widened. He had a daughter with Mable?“Blair, you have a daughter with Mabes?”Tracey was both shocked and overjoyed. A year and a half...That meant Mable had gotten pregnant just as she went missing.Blair’s expression was grim as he suddenly yelled at the dri
Blair opened the folder and started to read.Solomon said, “The Mullers hid Mable too well. I couldn’t find anything regarding Mable in Italee over the past two years.”The Mullers most likely did that because they did not want them to find Mable.Solomon looked at Blair and continued, “The Mullers originally hailed from Ashdale and held high status as one of the three great families. Twenty-three years ago, for some unknown reason, the Mullers emigrated overseas. The head of the family at that time was Connor Muller, Jeremiah’s father... After immigrating to Italee, they engaged in financial and trade business...”Blair nodded thoughtfully. Then, he suddenly noticed something and furrowed his brows. “Muller Corporation is working with Secret?”“Yes, starting from six months ago.”When Solomon saw Rory proposing to Mable in the restaurant last time, he had already guessed that Rory was connected to the Mullers. The investigation confirmed his suspicions.Secret and Muller Corpor
“Master Blair!”Seeing Blair in pain again, Solomon quickly took out painkillers and handed them to him.It was the same as before. Whenever Mable was brought up, he would experience unbearable pain.There was nothing they could do about it.Blair took the medicine and leaned back in the chair. He placed an arm across his forehead and took deep breaths to alleviate the pain in his chest.Tracey looked at the bottle of painkillers on the desk and recalled what the doctor had said that day. “Blair, are you okay?”Blair said hoarsely, “I’m fine. I just need some rest.”After a while, he looked at Solomon and suddenly said, “Solomon, organize an international hypnosis seminar in the name of the WHO. Allocate a billion dollars for academic discussions and invite the world’s top hypnotists to participate.”He did not understand much about hypnotism. If he wanted to break Mable’s hypnotism, he would need the help of a hypnotist.Furthermore, he was still not sure if Mable’s amnesia w
Arthur listened to Solomon’s words and nodded. “Okay, I’ll handle it. Don’t worry.”...In Muller Manor.Mable stood in front of the full-length mirror in the dressing room and looked at the evening gown she personally designed in satisfaction.Alec had invited her to attend the Rothschild family’s banquet. Although she did not want to go, she remembered the last time she left the restaurant without notifying him and making him wait too long. She felt guilty, so she decided to accept the invitation this time.“Mommy, pwetty~”Lemon sat on the sofa and swung her short legs, her beautiful eyes staring straight at her mother.Mable laughed and leaned down to kiss Lemon’s face. “Mommy is going out tonight. You be a good girl and stay at home, okay?”Lemon nodded obediently, hugged her, and planted a kiss on her cheek.Just before Mable left, her phone rang.She looked at the screen and saw that it was a video call from Spike.She quickly answered, “Hey, Spike.”“Mommy.”Spike
The splendid banquet hall was filled with fragrance and the sound of toasts.Alec introduced Mable to some of his friends, and Mable greeted each of them politely.“Alec, is Mr. Fowler not coming tonight?” A beautiful lady walked up to Alec, disappointment written all over her face.“Nelise, I had my assistant call, but Mr. Fowler is unwell and won’t be attending the dance tonight.”Mable’s eyes flickered. Did they mean Blair?Alec introduced to Mable, “Mable, this is my cousin, Nelise. Nelise, this is Ms. Mable Jefferson-Muller.”Mable greeted with a smile, “Hello, Ms. Nelise.”Since Blair was not coming, Nelise’s mood instantly plummeted. She glanced at Mable and then left with a huff.Alec frowned but could not reprimand her due to the occasion. Thus, he apologized to Mable. “I’m sorry. My cousin can be a bit unruly.”“It’s fine. I find her quite cute.”Alec looked at her and asked, “Mable, there’ll be a dance later. May I have you as my dance partner?”Mable was stunned.
Mable was silent.Alec raised his brows and teased. “General Leo, you’re not still in love with Sonora, are you?”Everyone knew that General Leo was a die-hard fan of Sonora, vowing to marry only her. However, every time he proposed to her, she coldly rejected him.Leo raised his chin and said solemnly, “Yes. I’ll only love Sonora in my lifetime!”Mable was speechless.She felt exasperated. What was it about her that made Leo obsessed with her for so many years?She looked at Leo, thought for a moment, and asked, “Um, I heard that Sonora always wears a mask and has never taken it off. Aren’t you worried she might be hideously ugly beneath the mask?”“So what?”Leo raised his brows in disdain. “Only shallow people care about appearances. I like Sonora for her soul. Even if she’s an ugly monster, I’ll still like her!”Mable was silent.Alec said, “You’re very devoted, General Leo.”Mable looked at Leo and surprisingly felt a little touched.It was a blessing to be liked by so
When Nelise saw Blair, her low-spirited mood immediately turned to excitement. She tidied up her hair and jogged over.“Mr. Fowler, we meet again.”Ever since she saw him from a distance at the company last time, she could not forget him.When she heard that Alec invited him to the banquet, she began to anticipate meeting him again. She made preparations two days in advance, having a designer tailor a custom evening gown, a stylist style her hair, and even went to the spa to get a special beauty treatment...Blair glanced at Nelise, his expression distant, and nodded indifferently.When Nelise saw his gaze fixed on Mable not far away, her eyes flashed in displeasure. She deliberately walked in front of him and blocked his sight.“Mr. Fowler, I heard you were unwell. Are you feeling better now?”Blair withdrew his gaze and said faintly, “Yes, thank you for your concern.”“That’s good.”Nelise thought of the dance later and looked at Blair with eyes full of expectation. “Mr. Fow
