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
Aunt Grace raised her brow in surprise following Olivia’s question. Olivia seemed to know Mable. Since Olivia knew Mable, she had the nerve to bring the child to the villa. The woman must be trying to take Mable’s place. Aunt Grace could not stand Olivia even more. With a courteous and distant smile, Aunt Grace replied, “You must be talking about the lady of the house. She went to visit family a few days ago.” Aunt Grace made it clear Mable was the lady of the house.“Really?” Olivia smiled faintly before sipping her drink. She grinned. It had been five days since Blair left Oakshire Estate. He had not visited them during the period, and he would not take her calls, either. Olivia was worried Blair would turn his back on her and Nicki because of Mable. To her surprise, Mable had left a few days ago. Olivia saw her opportunity. She put down the cup and held Nicki’s hands, asking gently, “Do you need the toilet, Nicki?” Nicki looked at 23 sitting not too far away.
Aunt Grace explained with a smile, “23 only listens to the madam and Master Blair. It won’t respond to anyone else.” The smile on Olivia’s face froze, but she quickly pulled herself together. The old hag referred to her as anyone else, like she was irrelevant. Once Olivia became the lady of the house, the first thing she vowed to do was fire Aunt Grace. The sound of a car engine came from outside the house. Olivia suspected that Blair was back. She looked at Nicki, who was nearby. “Dad is home, Nicki.” Nicki nodded and hopped off the sofa to run out. Blair had just got out of the car when Nicki came running out of the house. “Dad!” Blair found it hard to give the girl an attitude, especially when she smiled excitedly and talked cutely. He paused and let Nicki cling to his leg. Nicki looked up, her sweet puppy dog eyes blinking. “You’re finally home, Dad. I miss you so much.” Sharing the tender moment, Blair picked her up. “I’m sorry. I’ve been busy lately.”
In the upstairs bedroom, the chilling night breeze carried the intoxicating scent of flowers. Blair sat on the sofa on the bedroom balcony and stared grimly at the roses in the garden downstairs. Even though the roses had withered, the air was thick with floral scent. Blair took a sip of wine, unable to shake off the irritation. He grabbed his phone and dialed the number he knew by heart. “I’m sorry. The number you’ve dialed is unreachable at the moment.” Mable’s phone was still switched off. Blair clenched his phone. If his guess was right, Mable was likely with Rory. He had been tempted to demand Mable from Rory in the last few days. However, he managed to restrain himself. Blair thought Mable would come home to him with Ralph in his possession. However, he had not heard from her at all. She sure held it together. However, he could not take it anymore. With that in mind, Blair dialed Rory’s number. The call rang for a long time. Just as he was about to give
