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
Mable stayed silent. It was almost a minute before Adam's voice came through. "I’m handing the phone to Rorr."Mable nodded. "Okay."She was curious about what Rory had to say.After waiting for a while, he remained quiet.Mable glanced at her phone. The call was ongoing, but she grew impatient and spoke up first. "Rory.""Yeah," came the deep voice from the other end of the line, devoid of emotion."What did you want to talk about?" Mable asked.There was a two-second pause before Rory slowly responded, "I've instructed Adam to cancel the collaboration with Joseph. You don't need to worry about the Monafett Royal Family; I'll handle it."Mable let out a faint laugh. "All of this is because of you, so don't expect me to thank you."Rory's tone remained calm. "I didn't expect you to thank me.""Mable." Rory hesitated, then paused before speaking again, "Are you okay?"As Mable watched Lemon chasing butterflies in the garden, she thought of Blair, Spike, and Nicki.She felt
Mable recounted her recent phone call with Rory to Blair. As the video call had not ended, Solomon heard everything Mable said."So, Rory has recovered his primary personality, regrets his actions, and canceled the cooperation with Joseph. Is that why Joseph's operation didn't involve Secret this time?" Solomon speculated.Mable nodded. "Seems like it."From their conversation, Mable could tell Rory regretted his actions. It was not just regret but also self-blame and remorse. That was why she had to bite her tongue and refrain from scolding him earlier. Having Dissociative Identity Disorder was not his fault. However, she could not just casually say it was okay, considering the substantial harm he had caused her. If Rory could not fully control his alter ego, they were better off never seeing each other again.Solomon continued, "If that's the case, things just got much simpler."With no need to worry about Secret causing trouble, they could focus solely on dealing with
Mable nodded, smiling as she told Rahman, "Yeah, it's a guy.""Do I know him?""Yeah, you do."Rahman asked, and Mable replied, one after another.At that moment, Blair's phone also rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then whispered to Mable, "I have to take this call."Mable said, "Sure."Rahman continued, "But wait, it's past ten in Richworth. Who are you with at this hour? Some playboy?""He’s not a playboy," Mable said.Rahman's tone grew excited. "Not a playboy? Come on, Mable, don't tell me you've found someone new?"Mable looked towards Blair, who was on the balcony talking on the phone, and smiled. "It's not someone new; it's my past lover.""Past lover?" Rahman did not believe it. "You have another one whom I also know? It's not Hugh, is it?""Stop guessing randomly; it's not!" Rahman was getting anxious. "Quit keeping me in suspense. Who is it?"He knew Mable had deep feelings for Blair. It had not even been half a year since Blair's death. She could not possibly
Mable held her phone, watching Rahman on the video call. "Rahman, don't be mad," she said.Rahman chuckled. He looked at Mable and sincerely said, "I'm not mad. Although Blair isn't very likable, I know you'll be fine if he's okay. If he's alive, it is good news. I’m happy for you."Rahman stared at Mable and emphasized each word, "Really, Mable, congratulations."His greatest hope was for her to meet good people, fulfill her wishes, and receive what she gave.Her future would be filled with happiness so long as Blair was alive.Mable looked at Rahman, feeling moved, and nodded earnestly. "Rahman, thank you."Mable felt fortunate to have such a sincere friend.Rahman said, "Some trivial matters here need my attention. After I'm done, I'll come to Richworth to see you."Before officially becoming the heir, he could still move freely without reporting. Once it was announced, it would not be so easy to leave the country.Mable nodded. "Okay."Mable chatted a little more with Rah
