Solomon agreed with the point Ines made. If he wanted to, he could easily find out who had sent the email, but he was far too upset at the time and chose to jump to conclusions without bothering to check. After sending the text, he grabbed his coat and left the apartment. ... The next day. Around noon, Solomon received a call from Jonathan. “Sir, the email was sent by a private detective who had been spying on Ms. Ines and taking pictures of her. We traced his messages and found out it was a woman who went by the name Queenie who hired him to do this.” “Queenie?” Solomon cocked an eyebrow and traced his memory for a moment. Then, he remembered that Queenie was the anchor at the TV station. It was her all along! He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, a dark look passed his eyes. Jonathan continued, “There’s one more thing, Sir…” “What is it?” “Ms. Ines has been fired from the station…” It was only when Jonathan was investigating Queenie that he happene
Solomon omitted the details of Ines’ relationship with the Mullers. He also took care to not tell Patricia about the things Ines had been hiding for him in the past. A part of it was because he thought it was unnecessary to do so. Additionally, he did not want to sour his mother’s opinion of Ines anymore. Upon hearing what Solomon had to say, Patricia seemed very remorseful. “Does this mean that I have misunderstood the child?” Solomon nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Patricia expressed sincerely, “At the time, I heard Jonathan mentioning something about you having your heart broken. I was wondering what sort of girl could break your heart so I decided to investigate. When I found out about all that, I simply took it as the truth because I didn’t have any reason not to…” She was especially guilty when she recalled what she had said to Ines at the apartment yesterday. She was fully aware it was her fault at this point and expressed with a sigh, “I was the one who ma
Blair could already guess Solomon's purpose for coming to him today. Seeing him hesitate to speak, Blair said, "You want to talk to me about Ines?"Solomon nodded.He looked at Blair. "Master Blair, I'm sorry."Blair chuckled. "What are you apologizing for? What have you done to apologize to me?"Solomon looked at Blair. "Master Blair, I like Ines. Even though I know she deceived me and used me, I still can't let her go. I know she hurt you and Mable, and you won't forgive her.“Master Blair, I don't ask for your forgiveness for her, but please don't seek revenge for my sake. The Mullers have been kind to Ines. What she did, she did out of gratitude. Master Blair…"Blair interrupted Solomon, speaking indifferently, "Mabes and I never planned to retaliate against Ines. I can let go of Connor and Jeremiah, even Ines."Solomon looked at Blair in surprise. He and Mable were naturally vengeful, but they were not planning revenge on Ines this time."Just as you said, what Ines did wa
Monafett.Paul glanced at the documents in his hand while observing the man sitting on the edge of the bed. His face was expressionless, and his brows were furrowed.Rory stared at his bound hands, suppressing his anger, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Before I lose my temper, you better explain to me what's happening."Paul carefully watched Rory's facial expressions for a few seconds before asking, "Who are you?""Huh?"Rory gave Paul a look, his expression mocking. "You're asking me who I am? Are you kidding me, or did you lose your memory?"Paul calmly replied, "Neither of us has lost our memory. I want to know if you're currently the primary persona or the alter ego."Rory's expression froze for a moment, his gaze fixed on Paul. "What are you saying?""Did my alter ego surface?"Paul nodded.He had just completed the second phase of psychological therapy for Rory. After being unconscious for a whole day, he had just woken up. So, he was not sure if Rory, at this moment,
Rory nodded, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Adam, is Mable okay?"Rory did not dare to look Adam in the eye as he asked.He knew all too well the alter ego's possessiveness toward Mable. He did not know why "he" had such a deep obsession with her. Rory was worried that when his alter ego surfaced, he might do something to harm Mable.Adam spoke up, "Mable is all right. She's in Richworth now with Blair."Rory let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Good."As long as she was okay.Rory looked at Adam and asked, "What happened during the time the alter ego was present? What did I do?"He only had vague memories of what happened during the alter ego's presence and was unclear about it.Intuition told him that even though Mable was alright, it did not mean he had not hurt her.Adam detailed everything that had happened during the alter ego's presence.Rory leaned against the headboard, listening to Adam's words with unusual calmness, his face devoid of emotion.Until Adam finished spea
After leaving Rory's room, Adam contacted Monafett's royal family at the office. However, no one answered the phone.Adam could not help but feel a bit worried when he thought about the royal family’s recent activities.After a moment of thought, Adam dialed another number.Since Paul began treating Rory and delaying their plans with the Monafett’s royal family, Adam had noticed some recent movements from their side. So, he sent someone to investigate.The call was quickly answered, and Adam asked, "What's the situation with the royal family right now?"A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Brooks, I was just about to contact you. I just received news that the royal family has begun to take action."Adam was surprised. "What?"No wonder Joseph did not answer his call just now.The man on the phone continued, "Joseph probably guessed that Secret wanted to withdraw, so he moved up the timing of the operation."Adam frowned, his tone tinged with anger. "Joseph
Mable's feelings for Blair ran deep. With him gone, she believed she would never find happiness again. She would resent him for the rest of her life.Rory stared fixedly at his phone, letting out a heavy sigh.After a moment, Rory suppressed his emotions and, with a hint of sharpness, said, "Adam, arrange for me to meet Joseph in person."Adam was taken aback. "When?""ASAP," Rory replied firmly.Adam furrowed his brows at him. "Rorr, you don't need to do this. You're—""I know my limits. Just make the arrangements." Rory interrupted.Pausing momentarily, Rory added, "Have Paul come see me later. I need to talk to him.""Alright."Seeing Rory's determination, Adam did not press further and left the room.Soon after, Paul arrived.Facing Rory, Paul still wore an impatient expression. "What's the matter?"Rory asked, "Paul, is there any way to completely erase my alter ego?"Paul was startled. "Completely erase it?"Rory stared at him and said, "I know you have the abilit
In Richworth.Mable had gone to bed early the previous night with her phone on silent. When she woke up the following day, she saw three missed calls.Caller ID: Adam.Mable frowned at her phone, her delicate eyebrows knitting together tightly.Adam had called her three times last night. Was it about something urgent?As Mable hesitated about calling him back, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist."What are you looking at?"Blair pulled Mable into his arms, nuzzling his chin against her shoulder.Mable looked up at him and said, "I had three missed calls from Adam last night."Blair furrowed his brows, then took Mable's phone from her hand. "Didn’t you block their contacts?"Mable nestled into Blair's embrace. "In case there's anything in the future that might require contacting Adam, I thought I shouldn’t."Blair told her to block all the contacts related to Secret so that she would no longer have any connection with them.He squinted at the missed calls on the phone, s
