The secretary nodded. Jeremiah was delighted at first. After all, Astrid was back! However, at the next moment, he and Rory exchanged a severe look. The office was not large enough to hide.Jeremiah suddenly glanced towards the adjacent lounge. He walked over, hesitated momentarily before gently pushing the door open. Inside, Mable was wearing an eye mask and reclining in a soft chair, asleep.Rory also approached, and upon seeing Mable, they both looked somewhat surprised. It was indeed Mable!Jeremiah walked in and lightly tapped Mable's shoulder. "Hmm!" Mable was abruptly awakened and removed her eye mask. She looked at the man in front of her, still somewhat drowsy. "Have you finished your meeting?"Jeremiah looked at Mable and nodded. "Yes, how did you end up sleeping here?""I just arrived in Italee at noon, and the jet lag hasn't worn off yet. I was so tired that I decided to take a nap here."Mable yawned. Seeing Rory standing at the door, she looked surpris
Mable left the company with an uneasy heart. It was not until she walked out of the company's gate that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had overheard the conversation between Jeremiah and Rory, with Jeremiah mentioning he placed a restriction on her.However, Mable had yet to learn what he meant by that. Could it be hypnosis? She recalled what Spike had said to her. If that really were the case, it meant she had been deceived all along. The thought sent a chill down her spine. Jeremiah had hypnotized her!As Mable sat in her car, she could not calm her emotions for long. Eventually, she regained her composure and remembered Rory's mention of Wilbur having someone around him. So, she took out her phone and dialed Blair's number.The call was quickly answered. Before Mable could say anything, she heard Blair's voice filled with coldness, "Mabes, you finally remembered to call me!""Blair, please don't be angry. I have something important to tell you."Blair's
After ending his call with Mable, Blair immediately dialed Wilbur's number and recounted the information Mable had shared. Once he was done, Blair asked, "You only have Eugenie and Anthony with you. Who do you think might have betrayed you?"Wilbur remained silent momentarily before responding, "Since he’s trying to steal my prescription, let’s set a trap to expose the traitor."Blair agreed, "I was thinking the same. I'll come to the hotel to discuss it with you later.""Alright."On Wilbur's end, he hung up the phone and subconsciously glanced toward Anthony's room. Both Eugenie and Anthony were suspects, but his suspicion of Anthony was stronger.After breakfast, Wilbur handed a prescription to Anthony, saying, "Go to the market and buy these ingredients for me."“Didn’t you just buy some? Why do you need to buy them again?”Anthony received the prescription and glanced at it. He did not understand the ingredients' pharmacological details or purpose. Nonchalantly, Wilbu
Meanwhile, in Italee.Upon learning that Mable had returned, Jeremiah came home early in the afternoon. During dinner, he inquired about what had been happening in Richworth and the status of her relationship with Blair.Mable briefly recounted the recent events in Richworth and paused before stating, "As long as we're not divorced, I am still Blair's wife, and that won't change."Jeremiah furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Astrid, as long as you want a divorce, I can help you with it right away."Mable interrupted him with a smile, "Jeremiah, it's not the right time yet. Haven't you forgotten the purpose of our trip to Richworth?"Jeremiah's brows furrowed even tighter as he mentioned, "I wanted to ask you about that. You've been in Richworth for a long time, and you still haven't taken action. Can we afford to wait any longer for Little Lemon's situation?"Mable played with her food, not looking at him, and calmly said, "Don't worry. Everything is going according to my pl
Blair wore a cold expression and spoke calmly, "You've asked everyone, but why didn't you ask me?"Mable was amused by his words. ‘This man is so petty.’ She had just asked if he was having breakfast. Mable replied, "I can practically see you. Do I really need to ask how you are?"Blair sipped his coffee and said, "I guess you don’t care about me."Realizing that Blair was upset about her leaving without saying anything, Mable tried to appease him, "All right, it's my fault. I apologize. I'm sorry."Before Blair could respond, their son, Spike, said, "Daddy, a man should be more generous. Mommy already apologized, and you're still acting cold."Mable could not help but burst into laughter at their son's words.Blair glanced at their son and said, "If you're done eating, head to school.""Mommy, I'm going to school now!"Nicki also spoke up, "I've finished eating too. Goodbye, Auntie Mabes, goodbye, Uncle Blair. Wait for me, Hubert!"After the two children left, Blair final
“Hey, Mable.” Mable immediately probed as soon as Kyle picked up, “Kyle, Blair told me you arrived in Italee. Where are you now?” “I just arrived at Solomon's place.” Kyle was aware that the reason Mable was calling him was to talk about Zoe. He then asked without being prompted, “Are you calling to give me updates about Zoe?” “No updates yet. I just wanted to tell you I’m in Italee as well. I’m going to Rory’s place to meet Zoe tomorrow morning. So, don’t do anything reckless before that.” Kyle was caught off guard by this. “You came to Italee too?” “Yeah, we can work out a time to meet up after I see Zoe tomorrow. Just remember what I told you, and don’t do anything reckless. All that’s going to do is hurt Zoe instead of helping her. Do you understand?” “Okay, you have my word.” Kyle paused for a moment before asking, “Did you come with Blair?” Mable answered, “I came by myself.” Kyle was surprised that Blair would let Mable come to Italee by herself.
Adam was aware that Mable did not come to see Rory but Zoe. Just as he thought, Mable immediately stated, “I came to see Zoe. Is she doing okay?” Adam nodded and assured her, “Don't worry, we’ve given her an antidote and assigned a nutritionist to provide her with customized meals all day. She’s doing fine.” “I want to see her.” Adam seemed troubled by the request and shook his head. “No.” Mable responded by tapping his shoulder and remarking with a wry smile, "Adam, you’re a man. Don’t make a habit out of saying no.” Adam was speechless. Then, Mable swept an icy glare at the bodyguards and suddenly dialed up her aggression. “Move!” The group of bodyguards were taken aback by this. They exchanged looks before turning their attention to Adam. Adam fixed a look on Mable and advised her, “Mable, don’t make things difficult for me, please. You can’t enter unless Rorr allows it.” Mable crossed her arms across her chest and nodded firmly. “Sure, I’ll make this e
Mable initially assumed Rory was aiming a gun at her to get her to release Adam. She was surprised to note that he was aiming it at Adam instead. “What are you doing?” Rory shot a look at Mable. Without even bothering to glance at Adam, he stated, “As I said, I don’t need such a useless subordinate!” He locked eye contact with Mable and declared with a wicked smile, “Let go of him right now, or I’ll finish the job for you!” Without warning or hesitation, he pulled the trigger. Mable felt her heart skip a beat and quickly flung both of them away from the gunshot. Adam took the chance to escape from her hold. “Bang!” The bullet shattered an antique vase right behind them and produced a deafening noise. Mable stared at the vase’s broken fragments and cried out furiously, “Are you insane?” He had gone and fired at Adam! Rory blew on the barrel of the gun and grinned. “How else was I going to get you to let go of him?” “Are you not afraid of accidentally kill
