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
Meanwhile, in Richworth. Tracey finished a day of meetings and could finally call it a day. Arthur came to pick her up, and they returned to Royal View Villa together."I wonder when my brother and Mable will be back. Sigh...""Master Blair went to Italee with Mable. It's just a quick trip. They should be back in a couple of days." Arthur reassured as he drove, reaching out to ruffle Tracey's hair. "You've had a busy day at the office. Take a nap if you’re tired; I'll wake you when we're there.""Yeah, I'll lie down for a bit."Tracey reclined her seat to rest. However, her phone beeped just as she closed her eyes for a few minutes.It was a text alert. Tracey retrieved her phone and checked the message. Instantly, her expression changed. She sat up straight. "Stop the car, Arthur, stop!"Arthur immediately pulled over, concerned by her urgency. "Tracey, what's wrong?"Tracey looked at the message's contents, her face turning pale. "Mabes sent me a strange message. Quick
Jeremiah stayed silent, and Rory guessed it was not him.He furrowed his brows. "If it's not you, and not me, then who?"Apart from them, who else was so eager to kill Blair?"I don't know."After Jeremiah finished speaking, he thought of someone else and asked, "Could it be Rahman?""Rahman?"Rory shook his head. It was unlikely to be him.Unable to figure it out, Rory stopped guessing and said, "I'll send someone to investigate. We'll find out eventually."Jeremiah added, "I've also had people watching the sea. Any news will be reported back promptly."The cruise ship Blair was on exploded, and the situation was uncertain with so many people on board. It was said that the maritime rescue team had rushed over.Jeremiah did not care about the life or death of the others; he just wanted Blair dead!Shot in the chest and then subjected to such a severe explosion, Blair was probably obliterated.Rory said Mable would wake up in a few hours, but by nightfall, Mable still had n
Jeremiah did not leave and stood by the bed. His heart ached as he watched his sister, Mable, curled up in pain and groaning on the bed.This was the first time he had seen Mable suffer from the Necro Poison. Although Rory had mentioned that the Necro Poison attacks were excruciating, it was not until he witnessed it firsthand that Jeremiah realized the extent of her suffering, far beyond what he had imagined.He had not expected it to be like this.Rory came downstairs, exuding a dark aura. He felt uneasy, too, seeing Mable in such pain.Adam was waiting for Rory downstairs and asked, "Is Mable okay?"He did not go upstairs to see her.Rory said, "She's having an attack of the Necro Poison."Adam's spine stiffened, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something. "But Mable's sensory nerves are damaged. Even if she's having an attack of the Necro Poison, she shouldn't feel pain."Adam's words instantly reminded Rory. Yes, Mable's sensory nerves were damaged, so she shoul
Rory looked at Rahman with a lazy smile. “Your Highness, why didn’t you return to Monafett?”“Sorry to disappoint.” Annoyed at Rory’s expression, Rahman felt the urge to punch him.Jeremiah raised his brows. ‘So, this was Rahman, the man who threatened him over the phone yesterday.’His expression turned cold as he said calmly, “What brings Prince Rahman to the Muller residence?”“Do you think I want to be here?” Rahman looked at Jeremiah. “Where’s Mable? I’m taking her away!”Jeremiah’s face filled with rage. “She’s my sister. What right do you have to take her away?”Rahman could not take it anymore. He rushed forward, grabbed Jeremiah’s collar, and said angrily, “Hah, you have a lot of nerve saying that. Mable is your sister? The biggest misfortune in her life is having you as a brother! You hypnotized her, deceived her, used her, and caused the person she loved the most to perish. How dare you still call her your sister?”“So what?!”Jeremiah did not regret his actions. Aft
Jeremiah froze. “Astrid?”Mable gripped the guardrail, still processing what she had just heard. Gradually, she seemed to remember something, and her expression became desperate and fierce.“I thought... I thought that it was... just a nightmare...”Dreams were fake and ended when one woke up.Blair did not point a gun at his own heart. He did not shoot himself. He did not... He did not die...Mable could not hold on anymore. She fell to her knees with a thud, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. Her body could not stop convulsing and trembling.“Astrid!”Jeremiah hurriedly held Mable.“Mable!” Seeing this, Rahman pushed Rory aside and rushed forward.“Quick! Call the doctor!”Jeremiah tried to carry Mable back to the room, but she suddenly pushed him away.He did not expect her to suddenly push him so hard and was taken off guard, almost falling down the stairs.“Don’t touch me!” Mable’s voice was almost a scream.She looked up at Jeremiah with hatred filling her eyes.
