Blair’s jaw tightened, and his expression turned solemn as he listened to Dick’s words.After Dick finished, he said, “Keep an eye out. I’ll go there now.”Dick said, “You’d better hurry. I might not be able to stall them for long. You know those guys have a grudge against me. If I show up directly, they won’t release her.”“Okay.”Blair hung up the phone and immediately messaged Amos to arrange for a helicopter.He returned to the living room, and Mable rushed over to hug him. “Babe, I have a great idea. We could take a set of wedding photos in the rose garden. A white wedding gown with red roses would look stunning.”Blair looked guilty as he gazed at Mable. “I’m sorry, Mabes. I have something to do for the next two days. The wedding photoshoot might need to be postponed for a few days.”Mable was stunned. He had supposedly put his work on hold to focus on preparing for the wedding. Why…?She glanced at his phone and remembered the last time he met with Dick seemed to be beca
“Hahaha...”Rory laughed as if he had heard a joke.“Mable, do you know how ridiculous your words sound to me? You love him? Let me ask you. How much do you really know about him? Do you know what kind of person he is? Do you know what he’s been doing behind your back?”Mable frowned, feeling skeptical about Rory’s words.“Rory, don’t try to sow discord between us!“I know better than you what kind of person he is. I don’t need to learn about him from someone else.”“Fool!”Mable was furious. “That’s enough, Rory!”Rory fell silent.After a long time, he asked, “When is the wedding?”Mable snapped back, “December 28th.”Rory laughed. “What a good date.”Before Mable could speak, his tone became serious. “Mable, if you dare marry Blair, I’ll turn that day into his memorial day!”A cold glint flashed in Mable’s eyes, and her expression turned solemn. “Rory, do you know what you’re saying?”“You know I’m a man of my word, Mable.”“Rory Hammond!”Mable clenched her phone an
Mable’s lips twitched at Zoe’s words. She looked at Zoe warily. “He told you to kidnap me back?”Zoe sat down on the sofa and blocked Mable. “Although I agreed verbally, I know my abilities. I’m not your match and won’t cause trouble for myself.”Mable naturally was not afraid of Zoe taking action against her.She propped her chin up, looking worried.Zoe stared at her and asked, “Mable, what did you do to offend Rory that he’s treating you like this?”Mable sighed. “He found out that I’m marrying Blair.”“That’s it?”Zoe did not understand. She thought about it and guessed, “Does Rory like you?”Mable shook her head. “No, he just has hostility against Blair.”“That complicates things.”Mable sighed, feeling a headache.“When Blair returns, I’ll discuss it with him and see how to resolve this.”Rory was like a time bomb. Mable was not afraid he would do something to her, only that he would go after Blair.“How have you and Kyle been recently?” Mable changed the topic.Zoe
Secretly, Zoe was a little worried.She had lunch at Mable’s place, then returned to the villa.In the afternoon, she messaged Kyle, asking him what time he would be back. Kyle replied two hours later, saying he would be late as he had some social obligations.He did not specify the details.Zoe did not want to keep sending messages and disturb him. She stayed in the bedroom after dinner and did her own thing.By the time she was done, it was already past midnight.Kyle still had not returned.She called him, but he did not answer.Zoe was starting to feel emotional. In the past, he would always answer her calls, even if he was busy.After waiting for another two hours, she suddenly heard the sound of a car engine outside.She rushed to the window and saw Kyle’s car.He was finally back.Zoe ran downstairs and hugged Kyle as he entered the living room. “You’re back. Ugh, you reek of alcohol.”“Why aren’t you asleep?”Kyle noticed the bedroom light was still on when he got
Perhaps due to her occupation, Zoe basically made no sound when walking, even when wearing high heels.Therefore, when Laura was on the phone in the kitchen, she did not notice Zoe standing behind her.“Okay, sir. I’ll make a glass of fresh orange juice for Ms. White later because she likes it. I’ll put the medicine in it…”Seeing that Laura was about to hang up the phone, Zoe quickly left the kitchen.Zoe sat down in the living room with cold sweat on her palms and back.Laura called Kyle “sir”.That meant Laura was on the phone with Kyle just now.Zoe clenched her fists and could not believe what she just heard.They were putting medicine into her food every day? What kind of medicine was it?Why drug her?Laura came out of the kitchen with a glass of orange juice. She smiled and said, “Ms. White, have some freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s a good source of vitamin C!”Zoe stared at the glass in Laura’s hand and panicked, not knowing what to do.“Thank you, Laura.” Zoe
Mable put down her phone. “Yeah. Maybe he’s not awake yet.”It should be around 7:00 a.m. where Blair was.“Did my brother say when he would be back?” Tracey asked.“He said it would take another two days.”Tracey nodded and pursed her lips. “My brother should’ve just sent someone to confirm this. There’s no need to go there in person and leave you alone to prepare for the wedding.”Mable smiled and said nonchalantly, “Well, it’s related to Liv. He always goes to confirm it in person.”Tracey complained, “But that was before you! He’s about to remarry you, so he should know his priorities! You’re definitely more important than Liv.”“I trust your brother. He knows.”Mable understood Blair. After all, Liv had saved his life. He was grateful for it.After their meal, Mable and Tracey wanted to head back to the villa. Before they left the mall, Mable received a call from the housekeeper saying that Zoe was there.When Mable and Tracey returned home, they saw Zoe sitting on the s
Zoe was half a year younger than Mable. She was the first friend Mable made when Mable joined Secret.Later, when Mable became the second-in-command of Secret, Zoe was her direct subordinate.Through more interaction, Mable discovered that Zoe was a very interesting girl. Zoe liked food, anime, and playing video games. Apart from her coldness and ruthlessness when she executed a task, Zoe was an ordinary girl next door.As far as Mable knew, Zoe had never been in a relationship before Kyle. Thus, Zoe was new to all this.When Mable learned that Zoe and Kyle were together, she was a little worried Zoe would be deceived. After all, Kyle was no ordinary man.However, Zoe was infatuated with Kyle at the time. So, Mable could only remind Zoe to be more careful.Now, it seemed Mable was right to worry about Zoe.Zoe hugged Mable and cried for a long time.Mable held her without saying a word. Once Zoe had calmed down, Mable said to Tracey, who kept passing tissues to Zoe, “Call Solom
If Kyle knew Zoe was the one who stole the A117 reagent from him, why would he save her when she was in danger?Kyle and Zoe had been together for more than three months. Since she did not expose her secrets, he should have no reason to doubt her.It was quite impossible.Mable saw Zoe’s flickering expression and patted her shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just guessing.”Although it was just a guess, Mable was truly worried.Tracey scratched her head and looked at Mable and Zoe in confusion. “What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand at all.”“It’s nothing.”Mable immediately changed the subject and said to Zoe, “You can stay here tonight. It’ll calm you down. I will check your pulse later.”Zoe had taken so many birth control pills that there were signs of damage to her body. Mable had to find a way to treat Zoe.“Okay.”Mable asked the maid to prepare a guest room for Zoe. After Zoe calmed down a little, Mable asked her to lie on the bed and proceeded to take her
