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
“Okay!” Anthony responded. He asked after a pause, “Is there a change in the marriage between Tracey and Charles?” That gave Luke a headache. He could not do anything about it as Blair was backing Tracey. After all, he could not kidnap her to make her marry into the Luthers. Anthony smirked and said, “Dad, just tell the Luthers the truth. It’s not that we’re not willing to be in-laws with them. However, Blair disapproves of their son.” “Hm?” Luke raised his eyebrow. The Luthers cared most about their reputation. If they knew Blair disapproved of them, they would probably make a scene. At this time, Luke and Anthony looked at each other and laughed heartily. Luke patted Anthony’s shoulder. “I’ll talk to the Luthers. Don’t worry about this, and put your mind on the project. Do well, and don’t let me down.” “I will. I’ll head out first, then.” “Mm.” Anthony’s smile disappeared as soon as he walked out of the study. He looked scheming and cold. … Meanwhile. Blair’
That night, Mable stayed at the Royal View Villa. After dinner, she called Hugh to ask about her grandpa. She was relieved to learn that nothing unusual happened. Mable worked overtime and read some documents in the room. At 11:00 p.m., she turned the lights off to sleep. In the middle of the night, her bedroom door pushed open silently. A tall man slowly walked in. Blair walked to the bedside and stared at Mable on the bed. He was helpless. ‘How should I make her stay tomorrow? ‘I can’t use tricks, or she’ll be mad. ‘What if I buy her place? ‘That’s not a bad idea. I can try that.’ Blair leaned over to kiss Mable. Next, he heard her say, “I clearly remember locking the door.” Blair froze. Soon, he met with Mable’s clear eyes. ‘She’s still awake?’ He kissed her and explained, “This is my home. I have the keys to every room.” Mable responded, “...I forgot. “You— Mmph!” Blair kissed her again and pushed his tongue into her mouth. He kissed her harder than
After breakfast, Blair went to work and dropped Mable off at her apartment on his way. “This is close to my company.” It was just a block away. That morning, Blair had found out about Mable’s apartment in Richworth. As it was so close to his company, he dismissed the idea of buying it. He must not rush it. Since Mable did not want to live with him now, he would not force her. Blair would come here often anyway. After Blair left, Mable unpacked her things and met the partner. If Jefferson Enterprise wanted to bid for the northern suburb development project, they would first have to get the bidding qualification from the partner. Given their strength, it should not be difficult. Despite that, Mable learned from the partner that many powerful families from Richworth were eyeing the project. Moreover, Jefferson Enterprise did not have much of an advantage against them. In particular, Fowler Enterprise. After discussing with the partner, Mable considered for a while befo
As soon as Henry said that, Old Master Morse reprimanded him. “You bastard. What are you talking about?!” Crystal also glared at him. “Henry, where are your manners?!” Henry was unconvinced. “Mom, Grandpa’s leg ailment has been incurable for many years despite consulting many local and international experts. I don’t believe she’s better than those professionals. What if she messes up and makes it worse?!” Mable smiled faintly at Henry. “Don’t worry, Mr. Morse. I wouldn’t take on something so important without the right expertise. Besides, your grandpa and mine have been close friends for many years. I wouldn’t do anything to harm him.” “Mabes, don’t listen to this bastard. I’m sure you won’t harm me.” Old Master Morse smiled kindly at Mable and sighed. “I did see many doctors over the years for my ailment, though, and it hasn’t been cured. I’m old, and I’ve long since lost hope.” “Grandpa Ray, if you trust me, let me take a look at you.” Mable pointed at her medical kit.
Old Master Morse believed that Mable was skilled. Crystal pushed him upstairs to his room, and Mable followed with her medicine kit. Henry followed behind Mable and warned her in a low voice, “I’m warning you—if you harm my grandpa, I won’t let you go!” Although he was domineering and acted like a rascal, he was extremely protective of his family. Especially his grandpa who loved him dearly. Mable responded, “Don’t worry.” In the room, Henry helped his grandpa lie down and rolled up his pants to reveal his knees. Mable washed her hands and wore her medical gloves. She took some silver needles from her acupuncture bag in the medical kit. “Grandpa Ray, just relax. The first few needles will be slightly painful, so you’ll need to endure the pain. Other than that, let me know if you feel uncomfortable.” “Okay.” Henry and Crystal were slightly nervous as they watched from the side. Mable first put needles in two major acupoints on Old Master Morse’s knee, followed by o
Mable looked apologetically at Old Master Morse. “Grandpa Ray’s leg ailment has lasted too long. Even if I use the Fuxi Nine Needles Technique, it can’t be cured. “But as I said earlier, the pain can still be relieved.” Old Master Morse sighed. He had not had much hope, so being able to alleviate the pain tormenting him for years was good enough. He said to Mable, “I’m aware of my condition. It’s impossible to cure the ailment, so I’m very thankful you’re able to relieve the pain.” Mable smiled. “Grandpa Ray, I’ll be in Richworth for a while. Feel free to contact me at any time if you need.” After treating Old Master Morse with acupuncture, Mable was ready to leave. However, Crystal insisted on making her stay for dinner. Mable was overwhelmed by the hospitality and agreed. At night, Howard and his dad, Dylan, came back. Dylan was grateful after hearing that Mable treated Old Master Morse with acupuncture. “Ms. Jefferson, thank you so much.” Henry said, “Dad, don’t th
After saying that, Mable pulled Blair into the car. Crystal sent them off with a smile but sighed heavily after they left. “Mabes is a nice lady. I wanted to set you up, but I didn’t think she was Master Blair’s ex-wife.” She thought it was a pity. Howard watched the car leave and said, “So what if she’s his ex-wife? They’ve long since parted and have nothing to do with each other.” Even if there was something between Mable and Blair, they were just good friends. Crystal asked Howard, “Howard, do you… like her?” Howard did not say anything. Even so, Crystal knew him. His silence was him acquiescing to it! “I don’t mind if your future wife is divorced. However, you heard Master Blair say he’s pursuing Mable. It sounds like he intends to remarry her. If you go after her, wouldn’t you be snatching her from him?” Although their family was rich and powerful, they were still inferior to the Fowlers. Offending Blair would do them no good. “Even if Blair wants to remarry
