Hunter was astounded. “So it was true!” Mable was at a loss for words by their reaction. Not wanting to waste time on this topic, motioned at the door with a cock of her chin. “I want to see Zoe.” Hunter and Rosemary exchanged a look, then opened the door as instructed. Mable entered and met Zoe sitting on the bed with her knees folded. She was staring out the window with a absent look. The last time Mable saw Zoe was in a video call when she was visiting the church on the island. While it was only a few days, she was significantly frailer than before. “Zoe,” she called out softly to prevent scaring Zoe. Upon hearing their voice, Zoe shuddered involuntarily before turning towards the source of the voice with some agitation. When she realized that it was Mable calling for her, she suddenly perked up. She immediately crawled out of bed and called out, “Mabes!” Mable quickly went to her and hugged her tightly. “I’m here, Zoe. Don’t be scared.” Zoe rested her
Mable was taken aback by this. Kyle was outside? How did she not notice him when she came in? With how tightly guarded the villa was, he must be lurking somewhere in the dark to monitor the situation. “Zoe is fine, don't worry. She’s right next to me. I’ll let you talk to her.” With that, she handed the phone to Zoe. “It's Kyle. He says he’s right outside the villa now.” After Zoe took the phone, she immediately ran to the window and looked around wildly while whimpering into the phone, “Ky…” It was easy to tell that she was on the verge of breaking down in tears. She was so terrified and missed him so much... Kyle felt anguished when he heard Zoe’s voice. “Zoe, it's me. Are you okay? Did Rory hurt you?” Knowing that Zoe was a very timid girl, she must have been frightened when she was kidnapped. He also worried if Rory had done something to her. More than anything, he hated himself for being so incompetent to let his wife be taken away! How pathetic.
Besides, Anthony could not possibly be so stupid not to realize the severe consequences of deceiving Rory. Adam soon informed Rory, “The money has been transferred.” “Bring me my laptop.” Adam nodded dutifully and went to collect the laptop. After that, Rory logged into his account and found the email from Anthony. He opened it and looked at its contents with a serious frown across his face. Adam approached to check out the contents as well. There were several pictures in the file. When compiled together, they provided the details of a specific treatment solution. All of the various medications required, as well as the procedures involved, were listed. After Rory finished going through them, he rubbed his chin and sank deep into thought. “Could it be so simple?” He had assumed it would be very difficult to remedy Zoe's amnesia, but it turned out to be far simpler than expected. After thinking about it for a moment longer, he called Anthony to ask, “Are y
The batch of goods located at the east port was crucial as it was involved in the transaction between Secret and Muller Corporation. They were originally scheduled to be sent to Monafelt two days later. However, now... Rory’s expression shifted instantly the moment he heard about the issue. “What happened?” Adam seemed very anxious, “An hour ago, customs detected contraband in the inventory and seized everything. Another problem is that we lost track of another shipment that was supposed to be due at the port this afternoon.” Rory shot up from the couch at this point. “What do you mean lost track of it? Was the shipment raided by pirates, or was there an accident?” “Well... So far, it seems more likely that it was caused by an accident. I already dispatched my people to investigate, and they should report to me very soon.” "Get a car ready. We’re driving there to see what’s going on.” Rory did not have the time to care about anything else and hurried out of the b
Mable pursed her lips tightly and stared at what was written in the notebook. It seemed that her previous hunch was correct—Rory had lied to her. Lemon had never inherited the Necro Poison, and Rory was only using Mable to get rid of Blair… She had to give credit where it was due. Rory had played an excellent chess move. He knew that Mable would sacrifice Blair for Lemon’s sake. Mable shut the notebook and placed everything back where they belonged before leaving. Shortly after that, she heard a round of commotion outside. She ran to the balcony and found the villa surrounded. Kyle and Solomon were here! “Zoe, let's go!” Without another word, she grabbed Zoe and escorted her out. “Second Boss!” Hunter and Rosemary guarded the door like a pair of totems. “Move!” Rosemary motioned for Mable to stop and seemed to be struggling internally. “Second Boss, Zoe is not allowed to leave this room no matter what!” Mable shielded Zoe behind her and declare
Even from a distance, Kyle managed to spot Zoe coming out with Mable. He heard Zoe crying out his name. When he saw Zoe running towards him, he ran up to her while crying out her name, “Zoe!” The two embrace each other tightly. Kyle had been worried sick the past few days that Zoe was taken away by Rory. He nervously inspected Zoe from head to toe. “Are you hurt? Did Rory do anything to you?” “No, I’m not hurt.” Zoe shook her head and assured him tenderly, “Ky, I’m fine.” Mable watched the two couples locked in a tight embrace and then urged them on, “Come on. Let’s get out of here first.” She was worried about Rory suddenly changing his mind and coming back to confront them. Solomon, who was right behind Kyle, shared the same sentiment. “Yeah, let’s focus on getting Zoe out of here first.” After all, they were in Rory's territory. It was in their best interest to evacuate. “Zoe, let's go!” Kyle gently wrapped his arm around Zoe’s shoulders and escorted
“Have you had your eyes on the collaboration between Secret and Muller Corporation even before Zoe’s incident? How else could you guys have possibly pulled it off so quickly?” Something gleamed in Solomon's eyes. “Well…” If Mable found out about Blair targeting the Mullers, she was going to side with the Mullers no matter what. Things could get quickly out of hand if that were to happen. Solomon laughed it off. “It’s all a little bit complicated. Why don’t you speak to Blair about this yourself when you get back?” It would be better for Blair to clarify things himself directly with Mable. Noting that Solomon was hesitant to answer, Mable did not press the issue. Meanwhile, the doctor who was examining Zoe came downstairs. Mable and Solomon immediately got up and enquired, “How did it go, doctor?” The doctor smiled and announced, “Miss Zoe is fine. I haven’t detected any problems. Mr. Goodman is with her right now.” Mable and Solomon were relieved by the good
Mable stared at Jeremiah and hesitated briefly before starting, “I knew about it. Blair told me about the plan beforehand.” A flash of anger appeared on Jeremiah’s face upon hearing her reply. “I knew you were in on it!” “Jeremiah, they did it to save Zoe. They weren’t trying to sabotage the Mullers…” Mable wanted to explain her stance. However, before she even had time to clarify, she was cut off by Jeremiah. “How can you still be speaking up for Blair at a time like this? I can’t believe how foolish you are!” As he went on, his expression turned into one of anger. “Be honest. Have you fallen in love with Blair again?” A look flickered in Mable's eyes. She did not reply. The more she opted for silence, the more baffled Jeremiah became. Back when he let Mable and Blair go, he hypnotized Mable and took measures to make sure she would never fall in love with Blair again. Had his hypnosis failed? Unless… Mable had somehow broken out of his spell? Just as he
