A night of heavy drinking left Mable feeling miserable the next day.She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. It took her a while to realize that this was not her apartment.She sat up and looked around. This was Blair’s bedroom in Royal View Villa.How did she get here?She recalled drinking with Tracey last night and then encountering troublemakers. She had too much to drink and taught those people a lesson. After that...Mable rubbed her temples. She vaguely remembered seeing Blair.Did he bring her here?She looked down at the nightgown she was wearing. Had Blair changed her?She drank too much last night, so many details were a blur. However, she always had a good tolerance for alcohol. She should not have gone too far, even if she was drunk.“Woof!”A small puppy’s bark sounded by the bed.Mable lowered her head and saw 23 sitting on the carpet beside the bed. The little dog wagged its tail, looking at her with round, adorable eyes.“Good morning, 23!”Mable
Mable was momentarily speechless.What exactly did she say last night?She looked at Blair nervously, realizing for the first time that she might have actually gotten into trouble.She would not drink so much again in the future.Mable finished breakfast on tenterhooks.Afterward, she asked impatiently, “Blair, what exactly did I say last night?”Blair did not speak and took Mable’s hand to lead her to the garden.The garden was filled with blooming roses, their fragrance intoxicating.While gazing at the sea of roses, Mable gradually relaxed without realizing it.Blair looked at Mable and said, “Mabes, last night, you said that you only loved me.”Mable was stunned for a moment. Did she confess her feelings to Blair last night?He grasped her shoulders and asked, “Was that the truth or just nonsense under the influence?”“What do you think?”Mable raised her brows at him. Was there a need to ask? Of course, it was the truth.She had thought she had revealed some incredib
Mable had always been a confident person. However, in front of Blair, she felt inferior.In fact, when she was with him, she had known this day would come eventually. She just did not expect it to arrive so soon.She should not have hoped.Blair narrowed his eyes at Mable, a trace of coldness creeping into his gaze. His tone was icy. “What did you say?”“Let’s break up, Blair.” Mable lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.‘Blair, if you knew the reason behind my infertility, you might despise me.’The words ‘break up’ ignited Blair’s anger.He stared at her. His voice turned cold as he said, “Mable, what do you want me to do for you to believe that my feelings for you won’t change because of a child?”Mable shook his head. “You don’t need to do anything. It’s not you, it’s me.”Blair clenched his jaw, his dark eyes gleaming with a deep coldness. “Mable, is this your love for me?”Just because she was infertile, she wanted to break up.Or was that just an excuse?“I’m so
Mable sat on the couch with 23, who was sitting on her slipper, looking up at her.“23, do you think I did the wrong thing today?”Mable remembered how Blair sounded when he heard her suggest breaking up. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable.She picked 23 up and placed it on her lap, feeling her nose sting. “He loves me, but I can’t be selfish. I’m also afraid he might regret it later. What should I do?”A short pain was better than a prolonged one.Maybe his love for her would gradually fade away.At that thought, Mabel could not hold back her tears.Whenever she thought of Blair not loving her anymore and falling for someone else, it felt like her heart was being torn apart.“Woof...”23 saw her cry and reached its front paws to touch her hand as if trying to comfort her.Mable rubbed 23’s head and could not stop her tears.At that moment, her phone rang.Mable glanced at it. It was from Rahman.She wiped her tears with a tissue. Once her emotions were under control
“Are you sure Anthony is the boss of Black C?” Mable asked.Rahman hesitated. “I can’t be completely sure. I was sitting in a car and saw a group of people surrounding him as he walked out of the hotel. I could only get a brief glimpse.”Black C’s boss had two capable assistants, a man and a woman. They usually handle things on his behalf, so he rarely appeared in public.Recently, when Rahman was investigating Anthony, he saw the latter’s photos and initially thought he looked familiar. Then, he slowly remembered that Anthony bore a resemblance to Black C’s boss Rahman had seen two years ago.However, he could not be entirely certain they were the same person.“What’s the name of Black C’s boss?” Mable asked.“Calvin.”Rahman paused, then said, “I also had someone check Black C’s recent activities. It seems Calvin hasn’t been in Monafett for some time.”“Is that so?”Mable nodded thoughtfully. Calvin had been absent from Monafett recently, and Anthony only returned from Monaf
As soon as Mable entered the banquet hall, she saw two familiar faces.They were Howard and Ethan, whom she had not seen for a long time.Mable held a wine glass and walked over to greet them.“Professor Jefferson, long time no see.”Ethan was as polite as ever in front of Mable.Mable smiled and clinked her glass with him. “Don’t keep calling me ‘Professor’. It’s just Mable.”Ethan looked at Mable and smiled elegantly. “Sure.”Howard looked at Mable. “Mabes, when are you free to come over for dinner? Grandpa has been mentioning you often lately.”Mable nodded. “Sure. How is your grandfather these days?”Old Master Morse’s leg no longer needed acupuncture treatment. After finishing a couple more courses of the medicine prescribed by Mable, he no longer had to take it.“Not only does Grandpa’s leg not hurt anymore, but he’s also more energetic. He had a medical checkup at the hospital a few days ago. His various indicators have improved significantly compared to the first half
Anthony noticed Mable as soon as he arrived.He had originally planned to greet her after a while. However, to his surprise, she approached him first.“Long time no see.”Anthony looked at her with a vague smile. He could sense a hint of unfriendly intent in her gaze.Mable raised her wine glass. “Here’s to you. Congratulations on getting what you wanted.”Anthony clinked his glass with hers and looked at her seriously. “I never expected you to congratulate me. It doesn’t seem appropriate.”Mable raised her brows. “Are you surprised?”Anthony took a sip of red wine and did not hide his thoughts. “Considering your relationship with Blair, shouldn’t you view me as an enemy?”Mable swirled her wine glass elegantly, a hidden edge in her smile. “You’re right. I’m raising a toast to my enemy.”Anthony’s hand paused, his eyes carrying an enigmatic smile.Mable looked at Anthony and hooked her finger at him.Anthony hesitated for a moment before walking over and leaning close.“Ant
Lesley was approaching Blair when she overheard his question to Ethan. So, she said, “Master Blair, are you looking for Mable? I know where she is.”Blair frowned.“Look at this, Master Blair...”Lesley showed him the photo she had just taken.Blair glanced at it, and his expression instantly turned cold....Meanwhile, in the open-air garden outside the banquet hall.Mable casually sat by the glass railing, swirling her wine glass. Then, she took out her phone and set an alarm for ten minutes.Anthony arrived before she could finish her drink.“What did you want to ask me?” He stood a few steps away from Mable and asked.Mable glanced at him. “Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid I’ll attack you? Don’t worry, I won’t touch you.”She paused before adding, “For now, anyway.”Anthony raised his brows and walked over to sit down across from her. “So?”Mable did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “Where did you buy the hallucinogenic drug you
