Ralph was filled with anger when he remembered the past.“If it weren’t for your grandfather, father, and two short-lived uncles, the Jeffersons would never have moved to Ashdale.”Blair looked at Ralph seriously and said, “I heard that Mabes’ grandmother had a close relationship with my grandfather when they were young.”Ralph’s expression turned extremely unpleasant at the mention of his late wife. He looked at Blair with a mocking gaze. “Yes, they had a close relationship. Luna and your grandfather were childhood sweethearts. If it weren’t for my appearance, Luna might have become your grandmother!”Luna was Mable’s grandmother and Ralph’s wife.In the end, it was just a melodramatic love triangle.Blair frowned. “From what I remember, my grandparents had a good relationship.”Ralph snorted. “Of course. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be your father and two short-lived uncles!”Blair clenched his jaw tightly and did not speak.His grandparents and Mable’s grandmother had all pass
“You’ve always kept your cool. Why are you so restless today?”Mable glanced at him and plopped on the sofa. “I wonder what Grandpa is saying to Blair.”She was a little worried.Hugh asked, “What if your grandpa still doesn’t agree to you being with Blair? Will you leave him?”Before Mable could speak, Blair’s voice came from upstairs. “There are no ‘ifs’!”“Babe.”Mable rushed over the moment she saw Blair.“What did Grandpa say to you? Did he agree to our marriage?”Blair looked at Mable and rubbed her head, his gaze indulgent. “He agreed.”“Really?!”Mable’s eyes lit up as she glanced upstairs. “Where is he?”“He said he wants some time alone.”Blair pecked her lips. “Mabes, we should discuss our wedding date.”“Sure.”...Mable and Blair’s wedding was scheduled for December 28th, with the venue temporarily set at Blair’s private estate in Richworth.There were only three months left.Mable felt it was a rush and was worried there was not enough time. However, Blai
Mable looked at Rahman, pondered, and said, “During the two years of my amnesia, Rory was in charge of Secret. In fact, he has better management skills than me, but he’s too indifferent and hates trouble. However, he’s still the leader of Secret and will fully take over sooner or later.”Rahman frowned and said, “He’s just a placeholder.”Everyone in Secret knew that Mable was the one who truly handled affairs.Mable propped her chin and pondered for a moment. “Regardless of whether he’s just a placeholder, his abilities are unquestionable, and no one dares to challenge him. Besides, he has Adam helping him.”Rahman stared at Mable. “So, what are you trying to say?”“I want to leave Secret.”Rahman immediately said, “Rory won’t agree!’Absolutely not! Even Rahman would not agree to Mable leaving Secret, let alone Rory.Mable was exasperated. “I’ll find a chance to talk to him about it.”Rahman was angry and anxious. “Mable, I’ve always thought you were rational and intellige
Rahman huffed and placed his hands on his hips. “Don’t bother sending me an invitation to your wedding. I won’t come!”Mable chuckled. “You don’t have to come. Just send us the gift.”Rahman choked from anger.“People really do get influenced by their surroundings. Mable, I disdain you!”Mable was speechless.Since Rahman had come, Mable naturally would not let him go so easily. She made him do a few things for her, even if he did not want to.The preparations for the wedding were in full swing, and Blair and Mable sent out the invitations.When Anthony found out about their wedding, he was dealing with a crisis at the company.In just two days, Fowler Enterprise had lost three collaborative projects. Luke was furious and ordered Anthony to investigate.Anthony gathered the company’s senior executives for a meeting. He scolded them severely and demanded they find out who was sabotaging their projects within three days.After the meeting, he learned that Mable and Blair’s wedd
Paul looked at Adam and sneered. “Shut up? Adam, I really admire you. What are you planning, working for such a cold-blooded and heartless person for so many years?”Adam’s expression was cold. “Watch your words, Paul. No matter what, Rorr is still your senior.”Paul’s master was Rory’s adoptive father. So, in terms of hierarchy, Rory was his senior.In fact, before Coral’s death, Paul and Rory had a good relationship.However, everything came to an end after her death.Paul looked at Rory’s back and said sarcastically, “Senior? Is he worthy?”He pointed at Rory and said sharply, “If not for my master and Mable’s sake, I would’ve killed him to avenge Coral long ago!”Rory turned back and looked at Paul silently, his face devoid of any emotion. “I’m right here. You can come at me at any time. I won’t fight back!”Rory glanced at the gravestone behind Paul. He owed Coral a life. It was time to repay it.He never considered evading it.Paul clenched his fists tightly, and the ve
Rory raised his chin without flinching, waiting for Paul to shoot.Paul released the safety. The next moment, Adam rushed forward and stood in front of Rory. “Paul, don’t!”Rory frowned coldly. “Adam, step aside. Don’t make me say it a third time!”Adam frowned and glanced at Rory.Paul was furious now and might actually shoot. However, Adam knew Rory’s temper. Since he spoke to this extent, Adam did not dare to defy him.He withdrew two steps behind Rory and stared intently at the gun in Paul’s hand.Paul raised the gun and locked eyes with Rory, exuding a sinister aura.The two stared at each other for a while. Finally, Paul put the gun down.Paul threw the gun at Adam and stared at Rory coldly. “I won’t kill you. Killing you won’t bring my sister back.“Rory Hammond, I’ll never forgive you in this lifetime. You’d best live on but don’t live too comfortably.“By the way, I heard from Mable that your alter ego emerged recently. Heh, my sister was killed by your alter ego.
Paul knew his guess was right the moment he saw Rory’s expression.Mable had not told him she was getting married.“Mable is getting married? Really?”Adam was also shocked.Paul flicked his hair. “Of course. I went to Richworth a while ago and met her. She told me personally.”Rory narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing in his gaze. “Who’s the groom?”Paul shot Rory a provoking look. “The groom? Heh, in any case, it’s not you!”Then, he floored the pedal and drove away.The car’s tail lights disappeared ahead in the blink of an eye.Without a word, Rory took out his phone to call Mable. However, Mable did not answer.Adam looked at Rory and said, “It’s midnight in Richworth. She should be asleep.”Rory gripped his phone tightly, his gaze icy cold.Mable was getting married, with the groom most likely Blair.Damn it!She was remarrying Blair. Just what was good about that man?When he returned to the castle, Spike, who had gotten up from his afternoon nap, ran over to
“Ha.” Rory laughed coldly.If Mable and Blaine remarried, he would have to disappear from Mable’s world and never see her again.“Ava, I never fight battles I’m not confident in.”Rory stared at the item in his hand, his eyes growing cold. “So, I won’t lose this bet!”Ava walked over and finally realized what he was holding.A USB drive.“What are you planning?” Ava asked.Rory did not speak and only gripped the USB drive tightly....In Richworth.Early in the morning, Mable saw two missed calls from Rory on her phone, both at midnight.Since it was now late in Fasier, she did not call back. Instead, she sent a message asking him why he called her.After sending the message, she did not expect an immediate reply. Blair and she were going to Mair Manor to check on the wedding venue’s decorations.Mair Manor belonged to Blair and was the largest private estate in Richworth. Their wedding would be held here.The manor had a different name before. Recently, Blair changed it
