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
Blair’s face iced over. “How dare they raise conditions?”“If they don’t let her go, they won’t give her the antidote. It’ll be pointless even if you forcibly take her away.”Kyle advised, “If you really want to take her away, you might as well agree to their conditions instead of confronting them head-on.”“What are their conditions?” Blair asked.“They want all shipping routes south of the Bayley Strait.”Blair put his phone on the table. His black eyes were cold. “They’re so bold to mention this!”Kyle shrugged and said, “I personally think this isn’t a good deal, but it’s up to you.”Blair was silent for a moment. Then he called out, “Amos.”Amos opened the door and came in. “Master Blair, any orders?”Blair said, “Bring me all the documents related to the Bayley Strait.”“Yes, sir.”Kyle looked at him and sighed because he knew Blair would choose to do this.......Richworth.The next day, Mable and Zoe went to the pharmacy to get the medicine.Zoe could not tolerat
Mable did not eat much just now, so she vomited bile. She felt like she would eventually puke up her stomach.Blair saw Mable’s poor complexion. Her hand was also covered in cold sweat. “Mabes, are you okay? Trace, call the doctor.”“Okay.”“No... No need…”Mable wiped her mouth and rubbed her stomach. “I’m fine. My stomach is just a little upset. I just need to drink some water.”Blair helped Mable stand up. His eyes were full of concern. “Why would you get an upset stomach all of a sudden? Have you not been eating well?”“Uh, um…” Mable touched her nose, feeling a little guilty.At this time, Tracey said, “Mabes has been on a diet recently. She didn’t eat lunch today, so that’s probably why.”Mable was speechless and shot a look at Tracey.Blair’s face darkened instantly. “What?! How can you starve yourself?”Mable rinsed her mouth with water and explained, “I didn’t have lunch because I had no appetite.”Blair obviously did not believe her because he still looked so stern
After some satisfying sex, Kyle carried Zoe to the bathroom.They washed up, and he carried her back to the bedroom. He gently stroked her face and asked, “Did something happen?”Kyle felt like Zoe was acting weird today. In the past, she would not be so proactive about sex.Zoe sat up with her aching body. She still had a flushed face, and her waist-length hair draped over her shoulders. Her spaghetti-strap nightgown outlined her slim figure perfectly.“Kyle, I have something to ask you.”Kyle kissed her on the forehead and said, “It’s late. Let’s go to bed and talk tomorrow.”Zoe shook her head and looked at him firmly.Kyle chuckled. He leaned back on the headboard and pulled her into his arms. “If I had known you had so much energy left, I wouldn’t have gone easy on you just now.”Zoe pursed her lips and blushed.“What’s the matter?” Kyle asked.Zoe struggled to get out of his arms.She got out of bed, put on a cardigan, took out a report from the drawer, and handed it t
“Kyle, let me go!”Zoe’s tears flowed out uncontrollably.“Aw, you’re crying.”Kyle wiped away her tears with his fingers. His eyes were filled with derision.“Zoe, you love me, huh?”The feeling of humiliation spread rapidly. Zoe gritted her teeth and broke away from Kyle’s grip with all her strength. She kicked him with all her might.However, Kyle dodged and smirked. “That’s a powerful kick.”Zoe got up from the bed and glared at Kyle with resentment. “Get out! I don’t want to see you again!”Kyle folded his arms. His eyes were devoid of warmth. “Get out? Have you forgotten that this is my house?”Zoe nodded, wiped her tears away, picked up her phone, and prepared to leave.“Stop right there!”Kyle stared at her trembling shoulders and suppressed the irritation in his heart. He said coolly, “You can leave if you want, but don’t take my things with you.”Zoe turned back to look at him. “Your things?”Kyle raised his chin slightly and glanced at her clothes.Zoe understo
At the same time, Kyle sat on the chair on the bedroom balcony. He held a cigarette between his fingers and read the message from Blair with an indifferent expression.‘She drank?‘Ha! She gets drunk after one beer, yet she wants to drink away her sorrows. What an idiot!’Kyle took a puff of a cigarette and replied to Blair’s message.[Zoe and I broke up. You don’t need to tell me about her anymore.]After sending the message, Kyle threw his phone on the table and took a long drag of his cigarette.He felt extremely irritable.Kyle wanted to play with Zoe a bit longer, but she found out too soon.His revenge had not even begun yet. It was a pity that everything ended so soon.He sneered when he recalled the way Zoe looked at him when she left.......On the other hand, Zoe was so drunk that she lost control of her emotions. She was still crying. Mable wanted to knock her out and take her home, but Zoe suddenly vomited. Her face turned blue, and she had trouble breathing.Ma
