The hospital room was unusually quiet."Sorry for worrying you all."Blair's weak voice broke the silence.He lay on the hospital bed, his face devoid of any color, appearing so weak as if he could faint at any moment.Solomon stood by the bedside, sighed, and said, "I know you're worried about Mable, but you can't neglect your health like this. You've just woken up, and your body hasn't stabilized yet. What if something happens when you leave the hospital so recklessly?"Blair lowered his gaze. "I just wanted to make sure Mabes is okay."As soon as he woke up, Amos told him that Mable had regained all her memories.However, she had to face the fact of his "death." How heartbroken she must be.Blair could not stop worrying about her. So, he quietly took a taxi back to Royal View Villa when the doctors and Amos were away temporarily.Thankfully, he returned tonight. Otherwise, she would indeed spend the whole night drinking alone in the study.During these few days of unconsci
Royal View Villa.The cold weather awakened Mable.She sat in her bed, still clutching Blair's shirt. The blanket was on the floor."Ugh."Mable pinched her brows, feeling dizzy and throbbing pain in her head as if it was about to split open.She seemed to have taken out all the excellent wine from Blair's liquor cabinet last night and drank quite a bit.No wonder her head hurt so much.Mable recalled drinking in Blair's study last night, and a sudden image flashed in her mind as she pondered.Blair.She seemed to have seen Blair!Mable flipped out of bed abruptly, too rushed to even put on her shoes, and stumbled out of the bedroom."Blair!"Mable rushed into the study only to see a servant operating a floor cleaning machine, tidying up the carpet.Upon seeing Mable, the servant quickly spoke, "Madam, you're awake."Mable looked at the red wine stains on the carpet. Yes, she remembered. Last night, she had accidentally spilled red wine on the carpet.Then, she saw Blair
After the drunken dream, Mable spaced out listlessly in her bedroom for the entire morning.When she finally adjusted her emotions and walked out of the bedroom, it was already afternoon.Tracey led Mable to the dining hall. “Mabes, you haven’t eaten anything all day. Have something to eat.”Mable had no appetite and casually took a few bites. She suddenly remembered something and asked, “Tracey, you left in a hurry after getting a call from Amos yesterday. Did something happen?”Tracey’s heart clenched, not expecting Mable to suddenly ask that question, and she quickly said, “Oh, that... It was just some company stuff. I-It’s already taken care of. You don’t have to worry, Mabes.”Mable raised her brows. She had known Tracey for many years and understood her little mannerisms. Tracey stammered and averted her eyes whenever she lied.It was clear that Tracey was hiding something from her.“Tell Amos to inform me if there’s any issue with the company that can’t be resolved. I’ll
Amos was silent for two seconds before finally saying, “Very well. We’ll go together tomorrow.”“Good. Oh, right…”Mable suddenly remembered something and asked, “Tracey left in a hurry after receiving your call yesterday. Did something happen?”“Oh... It was nothing. I just... needed help finding something. It was quite urgent, so I called Tracey...”Mable raised her brows. The story did not match up with Tracey’s.They were definitely hiding something from her.However, Mable did not expose him and simply responded before ending the call.That evening, she received a message from Amos informing her that the flight was booked and they would depart at ten in the morning.Before heading to Fasier, Mable decided to check on Jeremiah again.Just as she walked out of the living room, she heard a commotion coming from the backyard.She hurried over. “What happened?”Several bodyguards rushed out from the basement. “Madam, Jeremiah escaped!”“Escaped?”He was locked up in the ba
In a hotel in Richworth, Jeremiah sat on the sofa with a laptop, typing furiously on the keyboard. He was searching the waters near Richworth.Based on the video Mable showed him that night, Eugenie should have been in the sea near Richworth.Jeremiah searched the news in the area for the past two days, hoping to find information about anyone missing at sea.After searching for a while, he could not find anything.The assistant kept glancing at the time. Finally, he could not wait any longer and urged, “Young Master, we have to go, or we’ll miss the plane.”They were not completely safe yet and had to leave as soon as possible.It would be disastrous if Mable’s people found them.Jeremiah clenched his jaw, continuing to search for Eugenie’s whereabouts as if he had not heard the assistant’s words.Nothing.Still nothing...Nothing at all...He had checked every possible place but still could not find any information about her whereabouts.Jeremiah became increasingly anxiou
Simon was Connor’s assistant and had worked by his side for several decades. He was a confidant and held considerable weight in the company.“You rascal!”Connor’s tone showed obvious anger. “What’s more important than this project at this critical moment?”Jeremiah lowered his eyes, fell silent for a while, and said, “I’m sorry, Dad. I want to be a bit selfish this time.”Over the years, he had given up too much for the Muller family and the company. Now, he just wanted to follow his heart and live for himself.“Jeremiah Muller, you—”Jeremiah hung up the phone, cutting off Connor’s scolding.He tossed the phone on the sofa and looked at the assistant, instructing, “Send two capable men to watch Royal View Villa and inform me immediately if Mable makes any moments. Also...”He pondered for a moment before taking out a card-sized photo from his wallet. He took a picture of the photo on his phone and then sent it to the assistant.“Have the rest of our men in Richworth search f
The next day, after Mable had breakfast, she prepared to leave for the airport with Solomon.Tracey escorted her to the car. “Mabes, take care of yourself. Don’t worry about home. I’ll take care of Lemon and the others.”Mable nodded. “Thanks, Tracey.”Tracey hugged her. “What’s there to thank? We’re family. Come back soon.”“Mm.”...At the airport, Amos led a female bodyguard to Mable’s side.He introduced, “Madam, this is March, a bodyguard from the Nighthawk Squadron. She’ll provide you 24/7 protection from now on.”March was the only woman in Nighthawk, so Amos arranged for her to protect Mable closely while the other members of the squadron remained hidden.March looked to be under thirty and was dressed sharply in combat gear. Her short hair accentuated her spirited appearance, and she exuded a strong presence.She nodded at Mable and said respectfully, “Hello, Madam. I’m March. You can instruct me on anything you need.”Mable nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”After boardin
However, they did not expect Joseph to bring the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Clare, along.Amos met Joseph a few times before and introduced him, “Mr. Joseph, this is Master Blair’s wife.”Joseph was an old man in his seventies with white hair and a slightly chubby figure. He seemed very easygoing and did not put on airs.With that introduction, a peculiar light flashed in Joseph’s eyes when he looked at Mable.He extended his hand gentlemanly and said, “Hello, Mrs. Fowler. I’ve heard about Master Blair. My condolences.”Mable put on a polite smile and shook his hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Joseph.”After a brief introduction, the group sat down and got straight to business.The current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Clare, was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked at Mable and the others and said, “I discussed this project with Master Blair three years ago. Except for some details that haven’t been finalized, everything else has been settled.“To be honest, w
