“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
“I wouldn’t still be able to laugh if I were you.”Rory patted Mable’s face. “But don’t worry, I won’t let you die. I don’t want to send you off to reunite with Blair.”“Rorr.” Adam could not bear to see Mable in such pain.Rory glanced at Adam and let her go, then asked the driver, “How much longer to the airport?”The driver replied, “We’re almost there.”Mable leaned back in the seat, struggling to breathe. Her complexion was getting worse.No, she could not go on like this.She had to find a way to save herself...Soon, they arrived at the airport.The driver followed Rory’s instructions and drove directly onto the airport runway.Rory’s private jet was already waiting.After the car stopped, Rory got out of the car and reached out to carry Mable. “Let’s go back to the castle.”Mable stared at him coldly. “I won’t go... with you...”Rory frowned and lifted her chin. “You won’t go with me? Unless you don’t want the antidote...”Before he could finish speaking, he sudde
The other bodyguard picked it up and handed it to Mable.Mable took the bead and squeezed it hard, causing it to break open.The bead was hollow and contained a small black pill inside.Mable took the pill. When she raised her head again, Rory and Adam had already boarded the plane, disappearing from sight.She looked at the small pill in her hand and swallowed it.“Madam...” The bodyguard was startled, worried that it might be poisoned. After all, it was given by Rory.Mable explained, “It’s the antidote.”Although the Necro Poison could neutralize other poisons, it still took time. During that process, there might be some damage to the body. Having an antidote to directly neutralize the poison was the best option.At that moment, several cars rushed over from a distance and finally stopped steadily beside Mable.“Mable!”“Madam!”Solomon and Amos rushed out of the car.Amos anxiously looked Mable over. “Madam, are you okay?”“I’m fine now.”Mable wiped the blood from he
Mable slept in a daze, unsure if she was dreaming when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.One she had been longing for during this time...Mable opened her eyes groggily, her voice hoarse. “Blair...”‘Is it you? I heard your voice... Am I dreaming of you again?’Solomon never expected Mable to wake up at that moment. He was still holding his phone with the camera pointed at her.“Solomon?”Mable narrowed her eyes at Solomon standing by the bed, momentarily dazed. “What are you doing?”“N-Nothing. I...”At that moment, Tracey’s voice sounded from his phone. “Mabes, you’re awake.”Solomon looked at his screen. The person in the video had become Tracey.Blair was nowhere to be seen.Mable frowned slightly. “Tracey?”Solomon reacted quickly this time and explained, “Yes, it’s Tracey. She was worried about you, so she video-called me to see how you were doing.”With that, Solomon turned on the front camera and passed the phone to Mable.Tracey looked at Mable, her face full
March stated, “Yes, Master Blair has always been very fair and dishes out punishments and rewards whenever necessary.” However, in all the years they have been working for Blair, they rarely, if ever, made any mistakes and were scarcely punished. Mable nodded thoughtfully before asking, “What kind of punishment does he usually hand out?” “Generally…” March recalled for a moment before replying, “He will either whip us or assign us to Santaviz.” A few years ago, one of the members of Nighthawk made a mistake and was then given an assignment in Santaviz. It was only until last year when he was finally recalled back. Upon stating this and noticing Mable’s subsequent silence, Marched assumed Mable was troubled over how to punish her appropriately. With that, she stated, “Madam, you can punish me however you like. All I ask is that you don’t send me packing to Santaviz. Master Blair had given strict orders that I am to stay by your side and protect you no matter what.”
