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. Her
Rahman left the Muller residence with Mable. Her condition was bad, and he originally wanted to take her to the nearest hospital. However, she held his hand tightly and only said one sentence.“Bring me... to Blair...”It was just a few words, but she struggled to breathe. Her face was so pale that it was shocking.Rahman gripped her icy hand tightly. “Mable, let me take you to the hospital first. You’re...”“No...”Mable raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with tears as she shook her head weakly, almost pleading, “Please... Rahman...”Rahman felt his nose sting, unable to say a word.He had known Mable for many years, but it was always him begging her. When had she ever pleaded with him so miserably like this?Rahman knew that he should agree and take her to see Blair.However, he was afraid. He was scared that Mable would completely break down when she saw that ruined body.When Rahman remained silent, Mable’s tears flowed even more fiercely. “Please. Rahman,
Amos raised his hand to block Mable and said hoarsely, “It’s... better if you don’t look.”It was too cruel.Even a man like him could not bear to look, let alone her.Mable shook her head and pushed Amos’ hand away.She trembled as she gripped the zipper and slowly pulled it down...Zzz—As the zipper was slowly pulled open, the face of the person inside was finally revealed.Under the sunlight, his white hair stung Mable’s eyes.Then, she saw a face that was unrecognizable.The man’s body was covered in burns. Since he had been soaked in seawater for too long, the wound on his chest was swollen and pale. There was basically no skin left intact on his body.Mable stared wide-eyed at the body in the bag, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.“Mable!”Rahman rushed up to hold her shoulders, trying to close her eyes. “Don’t look.”“No!”Mable pushed him away and took a trembling step back, pointing at the man in the body bag. “That’s not Blair. It’s not!”“Mable...
When Mable woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.Rahman remained by her bedside the whole time.During this period, Mable woke up in a daze twice, murmuring Blair’s name.Rahman could not express how heartbroken he felt when he saw her like this.When Mable woke up, he hurriedly asked, “Mable, how do you feel?”Mable stared blankly at the ceiling, her bloodshot eyes devoid of any signs of life.Rahman waved his hand in front of her eyes worriedly. “Mable?”After a long time, Mable finally returned to her senses and turned her gaze to Rahman. She asked slowly, “Rahman, where’s Blair?”Rahman’s lips twitched as he struggled to speak. “He returned to Richworth on a specialized plane yesterday.”The people of Dorland believed in returning to their roots after death. Although Blair died in Italee, his funeral would still be held in Richworth.Mable did not speak, but tears silently fell uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.Rahman gripped her hand and he
Soon, Jeremiah’s voice came from the phone. “Hey, Astrid.”Mable stared at the phone and did not respond.After a few seconds of silence, Jeremiah continued, “I know you’re listening, Astrid. I’m just calling to tell you that Dad’s heart disease has relapsed. He’s hospitalized and wants to see you.”Rahman raised his brows and looked at Mable.Did Connor have a heart disease?Mable lowered her gaze slightly but still remained silent.“Astrid, the doctor said that Dad’s condition is very precarious, so...”Before Jeremiah could finish, Mable interrupted his words. “Dad also knows that you hypnotized me, doesn’t he?”Mable stared at the phone, her eyes icy without any warmth. “Jeremiah, why are you guys so against me being with Blair?”After the hypnosis had lifted, Mable not only remembered everything related to Blair but other events as well.When she was acknowledged by the Mullers, Connor’s expression changed drastically when he learned of her relationship with Blair. He ev
Outside the villa, Jeremiah’s back instantly stiffened when he heard Mable’s words over the phone.She was cutting ties with the Muller family!“Astrid, you can’t—”“Beep, beep…”Before he could finish, a beeping sound came from the phone.She hung up.Jeremiah immediately called back, but Mable never answered.He looked toward the villa, feeling a cocktail of emotions in his chest. He could not seem to describe his feelings.He never expected things to come to this point.Feeling somewhat defeated, Jeremiah drove back home without seeing Mable.He had just gotten out of the car when a servant greeted him. “Sir, Master Connor has returned and has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time.”“Okay.”Jeremiah briskly walked into the house and saw his father sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading the morning newspaper.“Dad.”Connor raised his eyelids to look at him and nodded slightly.Seeing that Jeremiah came back alone, he asked, “Why are you alone
Not long after, Amos hurriedly came out from inside.“Madam, you’re here.”He stood by the car and bent down slightly to look at Mable inside.Mable looked at him, her expression somewhat dazed. “Amos, how long have you been with Blair?”Blair did not understand why she was asking this, but he still replied respectfully, “This is the ninth year.”Mable said, “Then you must know him very well.”Amos remained silent.Mable looked in the direction of the funeral parlor and asked softly, “Amos, is Blair really dead?”“Madam, Master Blair suffered many injuries over the years...“Since you’ve recovered your memory, you should remember when you were poisoned and on the verge of death. Master Blair’s affair with Lesley was a play he set up by himself. He deliberately wanted to make you think he didn’t love you anymore so you would give up on him. Master Blair knew that the male base in his body could save you and already made preparations to sacrifice himself. Unexpectedly, you disap
