Anthony had been keeping a close eye on Blair lately. To avoid detection, Blair worked with Kyle to use Goodman Enterprise as a cover to move the X Group's subsidiary to Richworth. The stolen files contained many top secrets that linked to enterprises and even a nation. If information were to leak out… The business empire Blair built from the ground up would face possible annihilation. As the leader of the X Group, Blair would find himself in unprecedented danger. The air in the entire meeting room was thick with tension. Anything related to the internet was not Solomon’s forte, so Blair and Kyle were typing away on the keyboard while he sent people on standby at the train stations and airport. The thief would not stay in Richworth after stealing the files. The airport and train stations were the key areas to lock down. Time was of the essence at the moment. Solomon watched Blair and Kyle anxiously. He could not keep up with the speed their fingers were dancing around t
At the airport, Kyle and Solomon rushed to the airport terminal as instructed by Blair. There was less than ten minutes before the plane took off. Kyle contacted the airport controller to stop the plane from taking off. It was assumed that Zoe was on the plane. However, after further investigation, it seemed she never boarded the flight. Kyle checked the airport’s surveillance but could not trace Zoe. In the end, she was spotted in the surveillance of the airport’s parking lot. Zoe was not the only one in the parking lot. Mable was there, too. Kyle and Solomon were stunned. The pair called Blair immediately, telling him that Mable had met with Zoe at the airport. Blair fell silent before asking, “Did you find them?” “No. Zoe never boarded the plane.” “Carry on the search! I don’t care if you have to turn the airport upside down. You must find them!” Kyle’s chest tightened when he heard Blair’s angry voice. After the call, Solomon turned to Kyle. “What did Blai
Maybe Mable had never planned to marry Blair. There was something dangerous about his handsome face as he smirked. Blair sat still on the sofa as aggression enveloped him. ‘Bravo, Mable.’… Kyle and Solomon turned Richworth upside down, searching all night. However, Mable and Zoe were nowhere to be found. They went to Royal View Villa first thing in the morning, and Amos led them to the study. The heavy smell of tobacco burned their nostrils when the door to the study opened. The trio choked. Amos turned on the study’s ventilation and opened the windows. “Are you okay, Blair?” Solomon entered the study and looked at Blair cautiously. From the corner of his eye, he saw the glass on the table used as an ashtray. It was filled to the brim with cigarette butts. Did Blair not quit smoking? Why was he smoking again? Had he been smoking the whole night? Blair sat in the executive chair, his cigarette butt burning to the filter. His other hand, resting on the armrest,
Rory walked into the bedroom leisurely. He looked at Mable, sitting in bed, with a frown. “I hadn’t seen you for a few months, but you lost a lot of weight.” Mable’s cheeks had sunken in, and she looked haggard since he last saw her. He knew it. Blair had not been taking good care of her. Rory was sure he was right to bring Mable back. Mable looked at Rory, gritting her teeth. “What are you trying to do, Rory?” Rory approached the bed and smiled teasingly. “What do I want to do? Mabes, you’re my wife, but you want to marry someone else. What do you think I should do?” Mable clenched her fists. “For the last time, Rory. I’m not your wife. It’s none of your business who I marry.” Rory stared at Mable, narrowing his eyes dangerously. He asked, “You love Blair that much, huh?” Mable pursed her lips and looked at him with a firm look. “Yes, I love him.” She loved him from the moment she laid eyes on Blair. After regaining her memory, Mable fought back her feelings and
Adam looked at Mable and explained, “Rorr had his suspicions when he met Blair. He did his own digging, but he wasn’t sure. Now, we have confirmation.” While talking, Adam glanced at Zoe. Zoe nodded. “Mabes, Blair is the leader of X. Kyle and Solomon must know about his identity. I found confidential files related to X in Kyle’s safety deposit box in the office. All the documents have Blair’s signature on them.” She said while handing the password-locked case to Rory. Mable stared at the leather case, realizing what it was. “Zoe, when you called me to say you ran into trouble, did you mean you were stealing the files?” Zoe kept her head down and nodded. She found out that Blair was the leader of X. She only agreed to Rory’s tactic to bring Mable home in case Blair had been lying and manipulating Mable. Rory opened the case and pulled out one of the documents. He took a quick glance, and his face beamed. “Well done, Zoe.” Mable got out of bed and walked over to grab
It took two seconds for Rory to realize what Mable’s apology meant. He jolted to his feet and snatched the laptop from Mable. All he saw was a pop-up screen with the words, “File successfully reformatted.” “What did you do, Mable?” Rory snapped an angry look at Mable, the veins on his forehead bulging. Mable replied, “I deleted the files in the drive.” If any files in the USB file were to leak out, it would be the end of X. Not only that, but Blair would be in danger, too.Mable hid the bitterness behind her eyes. She could not bear… She could not bear to put her loved one through that. So, she made the bold decision to clear the contents of the drive. Stunned, Adam and Zoe took the laptop from Rory. After further checking, they realized there was nothing in the drive anymore. Mable even wiped out the program and history on the laptop. Adam looked at Rory, “The files are deleted, Rorr.” “Mable!” Furious, Rory grabbed Mable by the collar. “Do you know what you j
It was Blair’s voice. “Well, you’re straightforward. In that case, I’ll get to the point—I want Agnes dead.“Only when she dies can I become the rightful head of the Jeffersons.”Mable fixated on the laptop. It was not news that Frank wanted her dead. However, it never occurred to her that he would seek help from Blair. “What makes you think I’ll agree to that?” “Master Blair, don’t you want to know where the person you’ve been looking for so many years is? You’re familiar with the item in the photo, aren’t you? So? Do we have a deal?” “You know her whereabouts?”“Master Blair, I’ll tell you where she is when you bring me Agnes’ corpse.“Master Blair, no one else in this world knows where she is except me. If I die, you won't be able to find her in this lifetime!”Mable bit her lip as her eyes were glued to the screen. She held her breath, waiting for Blair’s answer. Frank knew where Olivia was, so he made a deal with Blair in exchange for her life. Blair would never s
The familiar pain coursed through Mable’s body. In mere seconds, Mable lost the strength to speak. Rory carried Mable onto the bed and instructed Adam to summon the doctor. “Mabes! Mabes! What’s wrong?” Zoe looked at Mable in a fluster, startled by Mable’s sudden pale complexion. Rory got a sinking feeling to see Mable in such a manner. He cupped Mable’s face between his hands so that their eyes met. “Mabes! Mabes! Look at me. Deep breaths! Deep breaths!” “Ugh… It hurts.” Mable clutched onto Rory’s collar, her lips pale from pain. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. “Mabes!” Zoey exclaimed, staring at the bed sheet under Mable. “Why are you bleeding?” Rory lowered his gaze and saw blood streaming down Mable’s legs. He panicked. “Mabes!” Soon, Adam arrived with a team of doctors. Rory grabbed the head doctor and threatened him menacingly, “If anything happens to her, I’ll kill you.” All the doctors nodded in shivers. They were summoned to examine Mable.
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
