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.
Mable, who was in the bedroom, interrupted the doctor from finishing his sentence. Rory took strides into the room. Mable lay in bed with a pale face, gasping for air. Her hair and clothes were drenched in sweat as if she had taken a dip in water. “Rory…” Mable looked at Rory and reached her arms out to hold him with struggle. Rory held Mable’s hands. “I won’t let anything happen to you, Mabes.” He had heard about the Necro Poison’s harsh elements from his godfather. Mable had stopped the poison from going any further with the Ice Jade Flower. However, she had another attack soon after. Mable shook her head and looked at him pleadingly. “Please save my child. I don’t want to terminate the pregnancy.” The doctor turned to Mable and persuaded her, “Ms. Jefferson, we can’t administer pain medication while you’re pregnant. Anyway, prolonged pain can stress your body and put the pregnancy at risk.” Mable shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I want to keep the chi
Solomon was the right man for the job. He took a trip to Ashdale that afternoon. Ralph was old and a man of authority. Solomon did not want to use violence with him. After much internal debate, he tricked Ralph into coming to Richworth by saying Mable was in trouble.Upon their arrival at Richworth, Solomon led Ralph to a remote villa and put him on house arrest. Ralph could not stop worrying about Mable during the journey. So, he was relieved to learn that it was a ploy to get him to Richworth. At least he could be sure that Mable was fine. He had no idea what had happened between Mable and Blair. However, Solomon mentioned Mable betrayed them. Concerned that Mable was in danger, Ralph tried to get through to her on the phone multiple times. However, his calls went unanswered. Hugh stayed by Ralph’s side. He had joined Ralph on the trip to Richworth and wanted to evacuate with Ralph upon learning the setup. Alas, they were outnumbered by Blair’s men. For Ralph’s safety,
Blair put a lot of thought into the wedding, wanting to give her only the best. However, she did not appreciate the gesture. Her tenderness and feelings for him were false.Blair was consumed by anger at the thought. “Hello? Master Blair, are you there?” As it was silent on the other end, the person asked. Blair said indifferently, “That won’t be necessary. You can shut down the construction now.” After all, the wedding was not happening anymore. “Huh?” Before the person could ask, Blair hung up. “Eat something, Master Blair,” Amos persuaded. Blair took a sip of coffee. “Take the food away. I don’t have any appetite.” Amos clearly had something on his mind. Just then, Blair’s phone rang again. Annoyed, Blair grabbed his phone grimacingly. “What is it?” Aunt Grace’s voice came on the phone. “Master Blair, there’s a woman with a little girl asking for you. She said she’s Liv.” Blair furrowed her brows. Why did Olivia go to the villa? He asked, “Tell he
