Tracey looked at her brother. ‘Isn’t he the one who forced Mabes to divorce? ‘Why does it look like he was the one dumped instead? ‘I don’t understand him!’ Mable rolled her eyes at Blair. No longer interested in engaging with them, she said indifferently, “Mr. Morse, if you’d like to avenge your brother, I’m ready whenever.” She paused, then added with a smile, “Though, I’d like to kindly remind you to bring more people.” Howard frowned. ‘This woman isn’t just a little arrogant!’ After she finished, Mable directly went into the red sports car parked by the road. She hit the accelerator, and her car sped away like an arrow leaving its bow. “Mabes…” By the time Tracey returned to her senses, the red car’s tail lights had gotten farther and farther away. Tracey was so excited that she was about to jump. “Blair, Mabes was so cool tonight. She alone defeated Henry’s bodyguards in a one-sided manner…” Blair stared in the direction Mable left, his dark eyes gradually shro
Mable could not believe it. She was just about to call her grandpa when she saw a news item pop up on the laptop screen. [Ashdale’s first socialite, Marissa Jefferson, to marry the eldest son of the Snyders, wedding date confirmed.] Below the headline was the wedding photo of Marissa and Dane. Mable stared at the photo in shock. One of the two people was her cousin, while the other was her fiance who had been engaged to her five years ago. They were getting married! Moreover, they had taken their wedding photos. ‘Motherf*cker! ‘Do Marissa and Dane think I’m dead?!’ Mable immediately searched what happened to the Jeffersons in the past two years and finally found two important things. The first was that the Jeffersons had announced her death two years ago. Furthermore, they held a decent funeral for her. The second thing was that Old Mr. Jefferson was so devastated by her death that he had a stroke and became paralyzed. Mable’s grandpa was the only one among
“F*ck!” Mable looked at the hijackers with hoods and guns rushing into the first-class cabin. She could not hold back and cursed. She was already upset to meet Blair, the scum, and now, she was facing a hijack. Mable was extremely unhappy at this moment. She wanted to hit someone! Her wrist was suddenly held by a slightly cold hand. Mable looked down and met Blair’s firm gaze. “Don’t be scared!” She sneered and shook off his hand. “It’s them who should be scared.” There were three other passengers in the first-class cabin apart from Mable, Rahman, and Blair. The two armed hijackers escorted them to the middle of the cabin, and the crew all squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads. Mable carefully looked around. There were a total of six hijackers, all of them equipped with guns. One of them also had a smoke bomb hanging from his waist. The leader of the hijackers took one of his men to the cockpit while the remaining four hijackers guarded the hostages
Three hours later, the plane landed safely at Ashdale International Airport. Among the six hijackers of the plane, five were dead, and one was injured. Apart from two pilots and a flight attendant, who were injured, the passengers were safe and sound. As soon as Mable got off the plane, she hacked the surveillance on the plane and deleted all her images. However, before she could leave the airport, she was stopped by Blair. “Mable, let’s talk.” Blair stared at her with a complicated look. What Mable did in the few minutes on the plane renewed his understanding of her. Not only was she brave, she was also a good shooter with great agility and could even fly a plane! Only at this moment did Blair realize he did not know her at all. “I’m busy!” After saying that, Mable carried her suitcase and walked away, wanting to leave. “Mable!” Blair grabbed Mable’s hand and pressed her against the walk. “You slapped me, and you’re going to walk away just like that?” Mable l
There were six centuries-old families in Croquen, divided between the north and the south. The Fowlers, the Morses, and the Walkers controlled Richworth in the north, of which the Fowlers were the most powerful. Meanwhile, the Maxwells, the Jeffersons, and the Snyders dominated Ashdale in the south. Nonetheless, after the Maxwells emigrated overseas 20 years ago for unforeseen reasons, the Snyders gradually declined due to internal strife in the earlier years. Therefore, at this moment, the most prestigious and influential family in Ashdale was the Jeffersons. Old Mrs. Snyder and Mable’s grandma were best friends. The former even saved the latter when she was young. Grandma Maura cherished the relationship and supported the Snyders all these years. She even intended to make the two families in-laws. Hence, as soon as Mable came of age, she was called back to get engaged to Dane. The engagement party five years ago was extremely high-profile and lavish under the Snyders’
Mable had a nightmare. In the dream, she went back to the nightmarish rainy night five years ago. She was in Santaviz at that time for humanitarian relief when terrorists attacked the hospital and captured her. She was blindfolded, and that man just would not let her go, no matter how much she begged him… In the second half of the night. As soon as Mable opened her eyes, she saw Blair lying beside her. She froze for a moment. In their two years of marriage, he did not even bother to touch her hand. Why…? As her memory returned to her, what happened last night suddenly became clear in her mind… She was drugged and took Blair as an antidote. Blair’s eyelids twitched, which meant that he was about to wake up. So Mable gritted her teeth and hit his neck at lightning speed, knocking Blair unconscious the moment he opened his eyes. Relieved, she got off the bed and left the Jefferson Residence while it was still dark. … Blair woke up not long after Mable left. He sa
The call rang for a long time before it was finally picked up. Even so, before Blair could say anything, Mable’s cold voice was heard, saying, “You’re only worth 9.99 dollars, no more than that. Besides, I don’t receive requests to delete bad reviews!” “Mable!!!” “Beep, beep, beep…” Mable had hung up on him. Blair called again, but the number was no longer available. She had blocked him! ‘Very well, Mable! ‘Do you really think I can’t do anything about you?’ “Ha.” Blair slightly pursed his thin lips, and a rather devilish and evil cold smile could be seen on his sexy lips. … After blocking Blair’s number, Mable drove to a nursing home in the suburbs. She found out that her grandpa was secretly placed there. After arriving at the destination, she realized there were bodyguards guarding her grandpa’s ward. So Mable sneaked into the doctor’s office while no one was paying attention. A few minutes later, she walked out in a white lab coat and a face mask.
‘Frank is worse than an animal. How could he poison his dad? He deserves to be struck by lightning!’ Mable suppressed the anger in her heart. Now was not the time to be angry, as she must find a way to get her grandpa out. She sent a few messages to Rahman. After giving instructions, Mable took a small bottle from her pocket and poured two feels to feed them to her grandpa. That night. Under Rahman’s arrangement, the doctors and nurses on the whole floor were replaced with their people. Then, Mable tempered with her grandpa’s heart monitor to make the bodyguards think he was suddenly in critical condition and needed to be resuscitated. She planned to take him out of the hospital through another exit after pushing him into the operating room. However, right after they left, the bodyguards realized something was off and rushed into the operating room. Worried her grandpa would be accidentally hurt, Mable asked Rahman to have someone escort him to a safe place while she
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
