“I’m sorry, Trace.”Arthur said, then looked at Solomon.Solomon immediately raised his hands with a laugh. “Don’t look at me. I didn’t tell her.”Arthur was speechless. If it was not Solomon, that left only Blair.“You have a lot of nerve too!” Tracey looked at Solomon. “You should’ve told me about this immediately. Instead, you colluded with him to hide it from me.”Solomon immediately admitted his fault. “I was wrong, Ms. Fowler.”Tracey did not have the mood to argue with Solomon. She sat by Arthur’s bedside, lifted his clothes to check his wound, and cried from heartache. “How did you get so injured? Does it hurt?”“Don’t cry, Trace. It’s not serious. It’s just a scrape, so it doesn’t hurt.”“Scrape, my ass!” Tracey cried out.Would scrapes require such thick bandages? It was clearly a deep wound. She heard that he lost a lot of blood and even needed a transfusion.How could it be a scrape?Seeing her uncontrollable tears, Arthur wiped away her tears while saying, “I’m
Tracey told Arthur about her being kidnapped by Joseph after arriving at Monafett.Arthur listened in horror. “Thank goodness you’re okay.”It was no wonder Blair and Mable suddenly came to Monafett. It turned out that so much happened these past few days.Arthur felt somewhat guilty. If not for him, Tracey would not have come alone to Monafett to see him and get kidnapped. Fortunately, she was okay. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.He hugged her with lingering fear, finally understanding how she felt when she worried about him. “I’m sorry, Trace. I promise to tell you everything in the future and not hide anything from you.”Tracey caressed his face. “We’re a couple. There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.”“Yes, you’re right.” Arthur lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against hers.“Lie down and rest.”Tracey stood up and helped him lay down. “The doctor said you need to rest now. Otherwise, there’ll be aftereffects from your injury.”
He wanted to call her.He missed her so much that he felt like he was going insane...Solomon stared at the sent message, a faint smile appearing on his lips.Fortunately, she did not block him....Solomon only returned to the hotel when it was late.As soon as he arrived, Blair came to find him.“Did you drink?”“A little.”Solomon loosened his tie and casually sat on the sofa, looking at him. “Where’s Mable?”Blair said, “Rahman took her out earlier, saying he wanted to treat her to a meal alone.”He knew in his heart that Rahman had something to say to her.Solomon grinned. “Rahman took Mable out alone, and you’re not jealous?”Blair said faintly, “This is Rahman’s final chance in his lifetime.”Solomon nodded. After Rahman became the king of Monafett, his chances of meeting Mable would be fewer, and he could not go to Dorland as freely as before.“Are we going back tomorrow?” Solomon asked.There was nothing left to do here.Blair frowned and was silent for two se
Blair finished talking with Solomon and returned to his room.He sent a message to Mable, reminding her not to drink.Although Mable promised not to drink when she went out, he still did not feel at ease. After all, Rahman was with her. He was worried that Mable would be led astray.After sending the message, Blair opened his computer and started dealing with some documents.A while later, he picked up his phone and found that Mable had not replied to him.He looked at the time. It was almost 10 PM, so they should be finished soon.[Have you finished eating? I'll come to pick you up.] He sent a message to Mable.After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, there was still no reply. Blair frowned. How could she not even look at her phone while eating?He called Mable directly.However, her phone was turned off.Blair could not remain calm anymore. When Mable went out, he had specifically checked her phone and saw that the battery was fully charged, so it could not have automatic
Mable looked at the wine bottle in Rahman's hand. To be honest, she felt a little tempted.Blair would not notice if she just took a sip, right?All she needed to do was not get drunk.“Fine, I'll have a glass.” Mable took the wine glass.“That's more like it.” Rahman grinned and poured her a glass.Mable looked at the handsome men in front of them and said lightly, “Let's send them away.”Rahman looked at her. “None of them is pleasing to your eyes?”Mable rolled her eyes. “No! I don't find anyone else pleasing except for Blair.”Rahman exclaimed, “What about me?”Mable grabbed a cushion on the sofa and threw it at him. “Are you looking for trouble tonight?”Rahman dodged with a laugh. “You're so biased!”Mable smiled and took a sip of the red wine Rahman poured for her. “Not bad. It's good wine.”Then, before he could speak, she asked, “Do you have more? Give me two bottles. I'll take them back for Blair to try.”Rahman was just about to say yes. However, as soon as he h
Aurora looked at Rahman in disbelief. “A-Are you...”Rahman stood up and wrapped an arm around one of the handsome men's shoulders, looking at Aurora arrogantly. “Did I stutter? I said, I! Like! Men!”Rahman felt exasperated as he spoke.In his whole life, this was the first time he was forced to this extent by a woman.Aurora looked at Rahman and covered her mouth, too shocked to speak.After a long time, she snapped out of her daze. “Rahman, is that why you rejected me?”“Why else?”Rahman looked at her with a cold and indifferent gaze. “I told you, I'm not interested in you!”Aurora seemed to have received a heavy blow. She sniffled and choked out, “I... I understand. I won't... bother you again.”Then, she could not hold back her tears and ran out, heartbroken.As soon as she left, Rahman immediately let go of the man he was holding with a soft curse.Mable laughed and looked at him teasingly. “You told such a lie just to reject her. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped a
Rahman pursed his lips and stood up. “Let's go. I'll send you back to the hotel.”Mable stood up. They were just about to leave when the door pushed open again.Blair strode in, his expression gloomy.“Blair?” Mable looked at him in surprise.What was he doing here?Rahman crossed his arms and laughed softly. “Why are you here?”Blair ignored him and walked straight to Mable. “Why was your phone off?”Then, he glanced at the wine glasses and bottles on the table, and his frown deepened. “Didn’t you promise me when you went out this afternoon?”Mable knew she was at fault and quickly grabbed his arm, saying softly, “I'm sorry, honey. I couldn't resist and only took a sip. I really didn't drink much!”Seeing Mable soften, Blair's anger also subsided. He looked at Mable in exasperation and gently stroked her head. “Why did you turn off your phone? Don't you know I'd be worried if I can't reach you?”“I told Mable to turn off her phone because I didn't want us to be interrupted b
At Linders Castle, the night was dark as ink.All the lights in the master bedroom on the second floor were turned on, illuminating the room brightly.Rory sat on the sofa, staring expressionlessly at the email on his computer, his eyes dark.The bedroom was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and Rory said, “Come in.”Adam walked in. Seeing Rory still sitting on the sofa, he asked, “Why haven't you rested yet?”He saw the lights in the bedroom still on and came in to check. He did not expect Rory to still be awake so late at night.Adam walked to him. “What are you looking at?”Rory turned to look at him and raised his chin, gesturing for Adam to look at the computer.Adam looked at the contents on the screen, and his eyes flashed with surprise. “Was this... sent by Blair?”Rory smirked faintly. “Who else could it be?”He had not expected Blair to recover the deleted surveillance videos so quickly.Even M
