“Mm… Okay.” After a brief exchange of words, Blair hung up. “Amos, get the car ready.” Amos was slightly startled but immediately went to get ready. “What happened?” Mable stood up. “I have something urgent to handle. Rest well. I’ll return to Ashdale with you tomorrow to see your grandpa.” Before Mable could say anything, Blair grabbed his jacket and hurriedly left. Mable watched him leave, a sense of deja vu suddenly washing over her. It was all so familiar to her. The caller must have told Blair about Liv. Otherwise, he would not have left so impatiently. There was likely news of Liv again. Mable took her jacket and followed Blair. She wanted to see who Liv was to make Blair so captivated. Mable followed Blair out of the hotel. After he got into the car, she called a taxi to follow behind him. Blair’s car traveled south and finally stopped by the pier. At this time, a huge luxury cruise ship was docked at the shore. As soon as Blair got out of the car
The sound of footsteps went away, and the door closed. It was quiet. Mable lay on the bed, her consciousness slowly becoming a mess. Given the situation, she knew better than anyone what would happen next. She was in despair and wondered why this always happened to her. She would rather die than suffer such a humiliation again. The events of that night five years ago flooded into her mind. Mable curled up in fear, her body trembling. “No… Don’t… ‘Who will save me? ‘Blair. ‘Blair, where are you?’ … Meanwhile. An open-air reception was being held on the deck of a luxury cruise ship. A stout man was sitting on a U-shaped sofa, surrounded by beautiful women. Opposite him sat a man with a cold yet handsome face. “If I hadn’t heard from Mr. Rowland, I wouldn’t have known you were here. That’s good. It saves me a trip to Richworth.” The person who spoke was Dick, Blair’s partner. Blair swirled the goblet in his hand and asked coldly, “Where is she?” Dick
Dick said, “Master Blair, don’t get excited. I’ll fly over tomorrow to take a look before sending you some pictures to confirm. That way, you won’t have to make another wasted trip.” Over the years, Blair would personally go to confirm whenever there was news. However, he always returned disappointed. Blair nodded. Seeing as he was frowning, Dick added, “Master Blair, don’t worry. I’m familiar with the dark markets. No one dares to play tricks on me. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.” “Thanks for the hard work.” Blair clinked glasses with him. “You’re welcome. I don’t lose anything anyway. After all, my goods have to rely on your shipping line.” Even if there was no partnership between them, he wanted the reward. Blair downed his drink. He looked at this watch and said, “I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving first.” Mable was still at the hotel. He was worried she would go somewhere else. Blair stood up and was ready to leave when a man with a big
‘Also, why does he still like her if they’re divorced?’ Dick looked at Blair in confusion. “Master Blair, did I miss out on many things?” “I’ll introduce you to her when there’s a chance.” Dick was not one to gossip. He nodded and said, “Speaking of which, I haven’t met your ex-wife before. I’m so curious.” Blair got into the car. “I’m leaving. Confirm that woman from Neya as soon as possible.” “Okay.” Dick shook the room card in his hand. “The night is short. I’m going to enjoy life to the fullest.” After sending Blair away, Dick took the room card and leisurely went to the cruise ship’s guests rooms. The room card was for the ship’s most luxurious presidential suite on the top floor. When Dick arrived, he let his men wait outside while he walked in alone. He picked out the scent of roses as soon as he walked in. The rose petals on the floor and the aromatic candle on the table made the atmosphere extremely flirtatious. Dick chuckled and thought, ‘Chris really kn
On the way back to the hotel, Blair was still thinking about what gifts to prepare for Mable’s grandpa when they return to Ashdale tomorrow. If Old Master Jefferson knew what had happened between them in the past, he would probably disapprove of Blair. Blair had to do some homework in advance. He took out his phone and sent Solomon a message, asking him to look into what Mable’s grandpa liked. Solomon replied to him: [Not bad, Master Blair. Mable is letting you meet her grandpa so soon. Your remarriage might be just around the corner.] Blair frowned as he read the message. He did not reply. He wanted to remarry Mable, but it was not as easy as it seemed. While he was sure that Mable had feelings for him, it did not carry as much weight compared to her feelings for Rory. Blair was not asking Mable to remarry him now. He only hoped she would not resist his love for her and not push him away. That would be enough. Blair sighed and pinched the spot between his eyebrows.
Dick froze and suddenly realized. “She’s Mable Jefferson?!” Amos snatched his phone and deleted the photo before returning it to him. “You… didn’t touch her, did you?” Dick shook his head. His legs turned weak in fear. “No—not at all!” ‘Fuck, what a coincidence. ‘That beauty is the woman Master Blair likes. ‘I even told him she’s worth dying for tonight. ‘Fuck! Great, it looks like I’m really going to die.’ “I’m going to kill Chris, that bastard!” After coming back to his senses, Dick immediately ordered his men. “Go get Chris for me!” … Blair walked into the room and saw the woman curled up in the corner. Her eyes were closed as she trembled. Her sweat-dampened hair was messily plastered to her face, and her skin was unusually red. She held a blood-stained glass shard in her hand, and blood dripped from her palm onto the carpet. Blair felt as if his heart had been stabbed. He quickly walked over but heard her low and hoarse voice when he was about to get cl
Mable buried her face in Blair’s arms and breathed heavily. Her fear earlier forced her to suppress all the sensations in her body. Now that she had relaxed, the drug effects were unbearable. “Mabes.” Blair hugged her shoulders and realized that her body temperature was abnormal. ‘Fuck!’ He knew she was drugged but did not think she was given an aphrodisiac. Mable looked up at him pleadingly. “Blair, I don’t want to…” Even if she trusted and liked Blair, she did not want it. She was afraid of recalling the scene from five years ago. Blair caressed her head in pain. “Okay. I’ll carry you to the bathroom and soak you in a cold bath. You’ll feel more comfortable after that.” Mable nodded weakly as tears welled up in her eyes. There was a huge bathtub in the bathroom. Blair filled it up and placed Mable inside. He temporarily wrapped her injured right hand in a towel, lest it come in contact with water. “I’ll go get the medical kit. I’ll be back in two minutes
Blair took a deep breath to suppress the burning desire. He sped up his movements. When he finally bandaged the wound on Mable’s palm, he touched her forehead. “Are you feeling better? Do you want to get up?” It would not be good to soak in cold water for too long. Mable shook her head. While she felt that she had regained her strength a little, it was still uncomfortable. “I’ll soak for a while longer. You can go out.” “I’ll stay with you.” Blair did not want her to leave his sight for even a moment. Mable took a deep breath. “You’re making it harder by looking at me like that.” Blair paused.He stared at Mable for a few seconds before turning around. “I won’t look at you. Call me if there’s anything.” Mable stared at his broad back with mixed feelings. As neither of them spoke, it was dead silent. Mable suddenly said, “Blair, don’t turn your back on others so easily. It’s dangerous.” She could easily strike and harm him if he wanted to. Blair clenched h
