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
“Tracey!” Blair’s heart tightened. “Where are you? What happened?” Tracey cried so hard that she could not catch her breath. “I’m in the old residence. Mom and Dad locked me here and won’t let me out. Sob… They want me to marry the second son of the Luthers. I don’t want to marry him! Blair, come and save me!” “Wait a while. I’ll be right over.” Mable asked Blair nervously, “What happened to Tracey?” “Let’s talk on the way.” Blair pulled her into the car and immediately asked the driver to drive to the old residence. On the way, he told Mable about what Tracey said on the phone. Mable was furious when she heard it. “What year are we in now? Why are parents matchmaking their children? What are your parents thinking?!” She asked Blair, “Who’s the Luthers’ second son? Why haven’t I heard of him?” “Charles Luther, the young master of Luther Pictures.” “Him!” Mable widened her eyes. Even though she was from Ashdale, she knew of Charles. Charles was a famous playb
Blair looked at Luke and asked, “Dad, Tracey said you’re preparing to connect with the Luthers by marriage, with her marrying Charles?” Luke came downstairs and nodded. “That’s true. I discussed it with your mom and thought Charles was pretty good. Besides, the Luthers are one of the biggest families in Richworth. Tracey won’t be treated poorly if she’s married into the family.” Mable was enraged when she heard that. “Pretty good, my ass! Everyone knows Charles is a scumbag. A few days ago, someone exposed him for exploiting the female celebrities at his company. If you make Tracey marry him, aren’t you pushing her into the fire?!” Luke looked at her with hostility. “Ms. Jefferson, this is our family’s affair!” Mable gritted her teeth hard. She wanted to curse! Luke continued, “While Charles is a bit of a womanizer, it’s understandable since he’s young. He’ll behave after having a family.” Mable clenched her fists. ‘Is this something a father says?! ‘I want to punch someo
Seeing as Blair was about to leave with Tracey, Luke shouted angrily, “Tracey, if you leave today, I’m not your father anymore!” Tracey’s back froze. She looked up at Blair. Blair patted her shoulder to give her strength. With that, Tracey took a deep breath and walked out without a look back. When the three of them walked out, they were greeted with a Porsche. The car stood at the entrance as Anthony got out of it. “Master Blair, Trace, Ms. Jefferson.” He noticed the injury on Blair’s head and raised his eyebrow. “What happened?” Tracey glared at him with hatred. “Anthony, I know it was you who asked Dad to let me marry Charles.” Blair frowned at her words. Anthony spread his hands and smirked. “Trace, you’ve wronged me. I only casually told him you’re at the age to get married. My intention was for him to let you see more of the world and meet more people. I had nothing to do with him deciding to make you marry Charles.” Tracey’s face turned cold. “Hmph. I know
