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
In Fasier, Rory and Adam set off for the contract negotiations at 10 AM local time.Along the way, Rory’s gaze never left his tablet, memorizing every detail of the contract in order to win this business gamble.Upon arriving at the hotel, Rory belatedly realized he had forgotten his phone.“I’ll have someone get it,” Adam quickly said.Rory said calmly, “Forget it. I don’t need it.”His phone was of little use to him besides making calls. He would be fine without it for a while.“Alright.”Adam followed Rory into the hotel and took out his phone as he walked.The screen cracked when he dropped it yesterday, and he had not had time to replace it yet. The speaker also seemed to have broken, so there was no sound for incoming calls.Adam checked his phone and saw two missed calls and an unread message.They were all from Jeremiah.“It seems Jeremiah was rescued,” he noted.Upon hearing Jeremiah’s name, Rory said indifferently, “Didn’t Connor say he’d get Jeremiah to meet us a
Rory and Adam looked at the person before them, visibly stunned. They never expected it to be her.That was because the person who appeared was not the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Clare, but someone Adam mentioned earlier. It was Mable who had come to Fasier!“Mable, you...” Adam looked at Mable in shock, cursing Jeremiah in his heart.That guy had not specified when Mable came to Fasier. He thought that Mable was still on a flight now.Now, in the blink of an eye, she was already sitting in front of them.Mable looked at Rory and Adam with an icy gaze. “Long time no see, Rory, Adam.”Rory stared at her. A sly smile on his lips as he shrugged. “It seems the cooperation is not going to happen.”Adam’s expression grew heavy.No matter how slow he was, he could tell that Mable must have beaten them to the punch and reached an agreement with Clare. Otherwise, why would she set up such a trap for them?To avoid suspicion, she even borrowed Clare’s bodyguards. It seemed she came
“No, I wouldn’t!”Mable looked at Rory coldly. “Even without Blair, I’d never be with you.”They had known each other for over ten years. If they were meant to be together, they would have gotten together long ago.Mable did not have romantic feelings for Rory. What she felt for him was friendship or familial affection...However, his actions were enough for her to abandon those feelings.“You asked me what’s so good about Blair, so I’ll tell you. He’s not perfect, and he’s not that great, but I love him, and he loves me. That’s more than enough!”“Hah! You lovestruck fool.”Rory looked at Mable mockingly. “It’s as they say, love really is blind. Unfortunately, no matter how much he loved you, he’s just a dead man now.”What could a dead man do to compete with him?Mable lowered her gaze and clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth. “So what if he’s dead? You’ll join his ranks soon.”Adam’s heart sank as an ominous feeling rose.Rory’s face showed no fear at all, remai
Solomon had no patience for this. He pulled out a gun and pressed the muzzle against Rory’s forehead. “I’ll say this one last time. Hand over the antidote!”“Heh.”Rory laughed instead and grabbed Solomon’s hand that was holding the gun. “Go on, shoot! If you kill me, Mable won’t survive either. I’ll gladly take her to the grave with me!”Mable looked at Rory and cursed weakly, “You lunatic!”“Mr. Rowland, don’t act rashly!”Amos hurriedly pulled Solomon back, worried that the latter would shoot Rory on impulse.Adam looked at Rory, not surprised by his actions. He knew Rory too well. Although Rory spoke harshly about making Mable accompany him to the grave, he would never actually do it.“Madam!” March held Mable. A sense of foreboding rose in her when she saw Mable turning pale.Solomon was also frightened and looked at Rory with gritted teeth. “What do you want in exchange for the antidote?”Rory ignored Solomon and looked at Mable, smiling. “Mable, come see me off.”Adam
In Richworth, Tracey went to the hospital to see Blair at night.When she entered the ward, she saw Blair sitting up on the bed, reading company documents in his hand.“Blair, can you stop working for one second?”Tracey stormed up to the bed, snatched the documents from his hands, and placed them on the side.“Your job now is to rest well and take care of your body. Kyle and I will handle the company affairs, so you don’t have to worry. Even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Kyle.”Blair looked at her. Knowing she was concerned about him, he explained, “I was just taking a look out of boredom.”Tracey poured him a glass of water. “That’s forbidden, too. Resting your mind is also important.”Worried that he would not listen to her, she continued, “I’m supervising you on Mabes’ behalf. She would definitely be angry if she knew you weren’t resting properly.”At those words, Blair instantly fell silent.Tracey knew that he would listen obediently as long as she mentioned Ma
Solomon quickly said, “Yeah! I’m here! Calm down, Master Blair. Mable is fine for now. Don’t worry. I’ll save her even at the cost of my own life. Nothing will happen to her.”Even with that reassurance, Blair could not calm down and hurriedly asked, “What happened with Rory?”Solomon explained the situation to him.Blair immediately said, “Agree to all of Rory’s demands as long as he lets Mable go. I just want her safe. Do you hear me?”“Yes, Master Blair. Calm down...”Before Solomon could finish, Amos noticed that Rory’s route seemed off.“They seem to be heading to the airport... Is Rory planning to take Madam away?”On the other end of the phone, Blair heard Amos’ words and immediately felt a surge of anger.“Solomon, Amos, I don’t care what you have to do, but stop them at all costs! Save Mable!”Solomon said, “Got it, Master Blair.”In Richworth, Blair hung up the phone and immediately called Kyle, telling him to arrange a private jet. He needed to rush to Fasier.Eve
