Blair gritted his teeth, emitting a fierce and icy aura. "Jeremiah, you're clever; threaten me by using Mable. You should also know the saying, 'What goes around comes around.'"Jeremiah furrowed his brow, not fully grasping the meaning of Blair's words when his phone suddenly rang.He glanced at his phone; it was his dad calling.Jeremiah frowned slightly as he answered the call.A voice came through the phone before he could even utter a word. "Jeremiah, you've got thirty seconds to release Mable, or else, I'll blow this old man's head off!"The voice was loud enough for Rory to hear even without the speaker on.Rory looked bewilderedly at the pale-faced Jeremiah. "What's going on?"This voice sounded somewhat familiar.Jeremiah tightened his grip on the phone, incredulously looking at Blair before him. "Your man?"Blair did not speak but raised his chin, the answer evident.Solomon sneered; he had been watching Connor for over a month and had arranged many covert guards in
Blair did not say another word; he left with Mable. As they departed, Rory's face turned darker while watching them go.Jeremiah spoke into the phone, "I've let Mable go. What about my dad?"The man on the other end replied coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in an old disabled man."In the next moment, Jeremiah's phone was snatched away.Rory was holding the phone and spoke up, "Rahman?"On the other end, Rahman sneered. "Rory, fancy seeing you here."Rory frowned. "I thought you became the heir to the throne and had no time for these matters.""Forget about the throne. Even if I became the king, I'd step in without hesitation if something happened to Mable!"As Rahman said, Mable was everything to him. Whoever dared to harm her would step in. He had faced various troubles and dangers these past two years. From the only son of King Monafett to the crown as a prince, he had been too occupied, let alone inquired about Mable's affairs. He had always thought Mable was d
Rahman withdrew his hand, grumbling irritably, "Seriously! Planning to burn bridges already?" If it were not for him, would they have caught that crippled old man so quickly?Sensing Blair's foul mood, Solomon walked in and suggested, "Rahman, let's discuss this outside. Master Blair can stay here with Mable. You can say whatever you need to when she wakes up."Rahman and Blair did not have much to talk about anyway. Rahman glanced at Mable on the bed for a short while and walked out.Solomon closed the door, leaving only the unconscious Mable and Blair in the room.Blair held Mable's hand against his face, gently stroking her brows and eyes.His heart ached. It felt like his organs were being torn apart, making it hard to breathe."Mabes, I'm sorry, I broke my promise again." Blair's voice was hoarse with regret. He did not protect her again."Mabes, please don't be angry. I promise this is the last time."Blair softly kissed Mable's delicate fingers, whispering, "Mabes,
Rahman raised an eyebrow. "Of course, Mable's significance will never change in my heart!"Blair nodded, stepping aside.Despite his thorough preparations and confidence, Blair feared unexpected obstacles might occur. Having someone else protect her would ease his mind.Given Rahman's current status, as long as he protected Mable, neither Rory nor Jeremiah could touch her.Rahman looked at Blair expressionlessly. "Is that all you wanted to ask?"Blair nodded, saying nothing more.Rahman smirked. "Bizarre."With that, he paid no further attention to Blair and headed upstairs.Amos entered from outside. "Master Blair, the arrangements you requested have been made."Blair nodded, checking the time on his wrist; his expression was grim.Upstairs.Rahman burst excitedly into the bedroom, seeing Mable sitting on the edge of the bed eating."Mable!"Mable paused, turning to look at the door."Rahman?"How was he here?Now it was Rahman's turn to be puzzled. "You remember me?"
After descending the stairs, Blair turned to Rahman. "Thanks for your help today."Rahman rarely heard him express gratitude and responded with a haughty snort, "Finally, you are speaking like a human."Then Blair said, "I'll handle the rest. You can return to Monafett."Rahman furrowed his brows. "Are you letting them off the hook?"Rahman then glanced at Mable and lowered his voice. "What about Mable? Are you going to let her stay in her current state?""I have my arrangements."Rahman stared at Blair. He was too calm. Rahman had a feeling Blair was planning something big.Rahman started to speak, "I don't have much to do for a while anyway. How about I accompany you back? It's been a long time since I've seen Spike, and I miss him."After seeing Blair's hesitant expression, Rahman quickly added, "You didn't bring much manpower this time to Italee. If Rory and his men cause trouble on the way, I can help you guys out."Blair remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly persu
On the phone, Rory asked, "Are you sure Mable will do as you say?""She will." Jeremiah pinched his brow, never engaging in uncertain battles.His original plan was for Rory to take Mable away, and then he would deal with Blair. However, he made other preparations just in case. If Blair took Mable away, she would have to handle the rest herself.Rory chuckled playfully. "Jeremiah, I didn't realize you were so cunning.""Hmph, it takes one to know one."The port. At seven in the evening, the cruise ship departed from the harbor. Mable sat by the window in her room, watching the coastline grow distant through the round window. The sky gradually darkened, and the thick night unfolded over the sea, dotted with stars. The entire cruise ship was unusually quiet.Mable took out her phone and composed a lengthy message. After editing the message, she set it to send at a scheduled time, then put the phone in her bag. She leaned back and gazed at the night sky. The city's skysc
Rahman glanced at the two figures in the distance, clicking his tongue. "Didn't Mable forget about Blair? Why are they stargazing together?"Amos feared Rahman might disturb them. "Master Blair and Madam rarely have such cozy moments. Let's not intrude.""Whatever, I'm not playing the third wheel."Rahman crossed his arms and walked away toward the cabin."Oh, by the way..."Suddenly remembering something, Rahman turned to Amos and Solomon. "What does Blair want to do with the one who is tailing us?"Amos cleared his throat, feigning ignorance.Solomon calmly responded, "Let him follow if he wants. The sea is vast. We won't collide."Rahman looked at them meaningfully. "You're not hiding something from me, are you?""You're overthinking, Prince Rahman!"Solomon did not want to continue the conversation and made an excuse to leave.He needed to double-check the previous arrangements to minimize unexpected risks.The night on the sea was windy, and the temperature dropped.A
As Mable listened to Blair's words, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her complexion changed. Blair remained calm as if holding an ordinary glass of milk. He glanced at the ring on Mable's right index finger, a hint of a smile appearing. "Hiding poison in a ring is indeed a good method. It's not easy to be detected, and poisoning becomes convenient."Mable bit her lip, looking at Blair in disbelief. He knew! Blair examined the glass of milk Mable had poured for him and calmly said, "Let me guess what poison you've added to this."Mable did not know what Blair was planning. At this moment, all she could think about was that Blair had already seen through her plan. What should she do next?Blair stared at the glass of milk for a while before silently placing it back on the table. "Mabes, there's no need for all this trouble."Blair stood up and walked to Mable's side. He bent down, gently lifting her chin so she could meet his gaze. "Ever since I fell in love with you, my
