Ashdale. After learning of Howard’s thoughts about her, Mable was not in the mood to stroll around anymore. She casually gave him a reason and went home. As soon as she arrived home, she saw her grandpa reading documents in the living room. There were many work documents on the table. “Why are you back so soon?” Seeing Mable had returned, Ralph took off his glasses and asked, “How did it go with Howard?” “Not good.” Mable sat next to him and sighed. “Grandpa, I don’t like Howard. Don’t set us up next time.” Ralph sighed. “Feelings can be developed slowly.” “There’s a prerequisite for that,” Mable said. It was that she did not have someone she liked. Ralph looked at her and immediately understood. “You still can’t let go of Blair.” Mable looked seriously at him. “Grandpa, I’ll obey you for everything else, but I want to make my own decisions on this matter.” Blair was the only thing she was clinging on to. Ralph fell silent for a while and handed her the document
Blair said after a pause, “Don’t tire yourself out too much. Rest early.” “Okay,” Mable responded. Afterward, Blair hung up. Mable looked at her phone, dazed. Blair used to wait for her to hang up. Why did he hang up so quickly today? She was going to ask him about the project. Nevertheless, since her grandpa wanted her to take the project, she would have to go to Richworth. After some thought, she booked a flight to Richworth tomorrow afternoon. … Richworth. Blair hung up and called Solomon for a drink. By the time Solomon arrived, Blair had drunk quite a bit. “This isn’t like you.” Solomon sat on the sofa and said, “According to your previous style, you should be on a plane to Ashdale right now.” Blair looked up at him. “I was preparing to go.” “Then why didn’t you?” Blair downed the whisky in his glass with a cold look in his eyes. It was because he was afraid he would not be able to control his emotions and hurt Mable. After coming back from Fasi
Amos reacted quickly. Seeing as the woman was lunging toward Blair, he jumped forward to block her. Even so, the woman’s drink spilled onto Blair’s shirt. “I’m sorry for dirtying your shirt, sir.” The woman held her glass delicately and winked at Blair as she spoke. Blair glanced coldly at her and ignored her. He walked straight out. The woman was not resigned to being ignored. She ran forward and said, “Hey, sir, why don’t you take off your shirt? I’ll send it to the dry cleaners for you.” As she spoke, she reached out to pull Blair’s arm. Despite that, she was stopped by Amos before she could touch Blair. “Miss, please respect yourself.” The woman rushed up and stood in front of Blair to stop him. “Sir—” “Get lost!” Blair was cold. The woman was stunned by his gaze and got out of the way. In the end, she watched him leave in his car. At this time, the woman’s good friend walked over and patted her shoulder. “Lesley, you’re bold. Do you know who that man is?
Mable called Howard without any hesitation. When the call went through, Howard said in a low voice, “It’s so late. You’re still awake?” Mable asked coldly, “Howard, why did you send me the photo?” “Just to tell you that Blair isn’t good enough for you,” Howard answered.Mable sneered. “I dare you to say that to Blair in person!” ‘Let’s see if he’ll kill you!’ “Howard, I always thought you were a decent person. I didn’t think you were the same as your brother. You’re petty, using tricks behind people’s backs!” Howard frowned. ‘Did she think I got someone to follow Blair and take the photo?’ “I didn’t find someone to take a photo. I saw someone sharing it, so I forwarded it to you because I wanted you to see what kind of person Blair is.” After he finished, Mable told him off. “I know what kind of person Blair is. I don’t need you to remind me with a photo.” “Do you trust him that much?” Mable said after a moment of silence, “I trust myself!” She did not dare claim
Mable had just left the Jefferson Residence when she realized a small black car was following her. No matter how fast or slow she went, the car kept a consistent distance from her. Since they were on the main road, and she could not pull up, Mable ignored it. She wanted to see what the other party was trying to do. At last, she stopped in front of Jefferson Enterprise’s building. Mable turned to look and saw that the car had stopped as well. Even after a while, no one came down from the car. So, she decided to get out and walk over. She had just returned not long ago and had not offended anyone. Who was following her? Before she got close to the car, she saw a familiar person walking out from the passenger seat. “Amos?” ‘Why is he here? ‘If he’s here, then Blair…’ “Ms. Jefferson.” Amos nodded slightly at her and pulled open the door to the back seat. Mable widened her eyes at Blair, who was in the car. “Why are you here?” ‘Weren’t you in Richworth? Why are
“I saw it in a gossip group,” Mable casually said. For the sake of her grandpa, she would not say it was from Howard. Blair looked seriously at her. “Mabes, hear me out. I don’t know the woman. Last night—” “Pfft!” Mable was amused by how nervous he looked. “I know. You don’t have such bad taste, and I’m not stupid. The photo was purposefully taken at such a misleading angle. How could I not know?” “You believe me?” Blair stared blankly at her. Mable kept her phone and nodded. “Mm, at least in this matter.” She had known him for more than two years and knew how he was. Blair embraced her again. His heart was filled, and he was satisfied like never before. Nothing was more comforting than being trusted by one’s beloved. “Thank you, Mabes.” Blair suddenly blamed himself a little. Mable trusted him so much. Whereas, he was still holding a grudge against her for the photos Howard posted on his Instagram last night. Mable did not know what Blair was thinking. She pok
Mable looked at Blair and responded, “Oh, I’m going on a business trip. I’ll go straight to the airport once I’ve finished with work.” “Business trip?” Blair’s first thought was that Mable was going abroad again. She had just come back a few days ago and was leaving again. “Where are you going? When are you coming back? Are you going alone, or will someone accompany you?” “I’m not sure when I’ll be back. It’ll depend on the progress. I’m going alone—I asked Hugh to take care of my grandpa, or I’ll be worried. As for where I’m going…” Mable smiled faintly at Blair and deliberately kept him in suspense. “Take a guess.” “Monafett or Fasier?” The Jeffersons’ business mainly involved clothing import and export trade. Apart from the domestic market, their other market was in those two countries. Mable shook her head. “Nope.” Blair frowned. “Then…” ‘If it’s not Monafett or Fasier, could it be the more distant Yenea? ‘It’s possible that the Jeffersons are preparing to o
Howard’s eyes flickered. He paused before commenting, “It’s rare for a divorced couple to still have such a good relationship.” Blair narrowed his eyes at him. “Howard, even if Mabes and I aren’t married now, she’s not someone you can covet!” Howard straightened his body and smiled courteously. “Master Blair, honestly, I fell in love with Mable at first sight. I’m going to pursue her, and her grandpa is pleased with me, too.” “So what?” Blair might have believed his words if they met before he saw Mable earlier. Now, it had no effect on him. “Even if Old Master Jefferson decides you’re his granddaughter-in-law, you don’t stand a chance as long as Mable doesn’t like you!” “I know Mable doesn’t like me. She rejected me when I confessed to her last night, but I don’t plan to give up just like that.” Howard paused for a while and looked at Blair with interest. He continued, “As far as I know, she hasn’t accepted you either. That means we’re the same—we’re both her suitors. It
