After Rory left, Zoe walked in.“Mabes, are you okay?”Zoe looked at Mable’s pale face and felt somewhat regretful. Mable would not have been poisoned if Zoe had not knocked her out and brought her back.Mable shook her head. “I’m fine.”“I’m sorry.”Zoe stood before Mable and lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes in guilt.She said she would let Mable deal with her however she wanted after she woke up.A self-deprecating smile appeared on Mable’s face. “Don’t apologize. If not for you all, I’d still be used like a fool by Blair.”Zoe looked at Mable hesitatingly.She, too, had been betrayed and used by someone she loved. So, she knew how painful it was.“Mabes, that scumbag Blair doesn’t deserve you at all. Someday, you’ll meet a man who will love you wholeheartedly.”Mable stared at Zoe and suddenly laughed.Those words she used to console Zoe had come back to her in such a short time.Mable held back the moisture in her eyes and looked at Zoe. “Zoe, aren’t I stu
“Master Blair.”Mable looked up and saw Liv.The moment Blair saw her, he put down the scissors in his hand and walked toward her without hesitation.“Blair!”Mable shouted, not wanting him to leave.Blair simply glanced back at her, then wrapped his arm around Liv’s shoulders and left resolutely.The bomb exploded. Through the flames, Mable seemed to see Blair and Liv having a wedding in the chapel at Mair Manor...“Blair—!”Mable screamed and woke up with a gasp. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.What a terrifying nightmare.The first part was based on real events. Did that mean the second part might also come true?Would Blair marry Liv?Mable suddenly picked up her phone and turned it on.There were dozens of missed calls, most of them from Blair.She stared at the number she had saved as ‘Darling’ and called him back with trembling fingers.The phone rang, but no one answered.It was early in the morning in Richworth.Mable mustered the courage to call again
Blair entered and immediately saw Olivia holding his phone.Olivia hid the panic in her eyes and said, “Master Blair, your phone rang earlier. I was...”Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang.Olivia was greatly relieved and immediately handed him the phone. “It’s for you, Master Blair.”Blair took the phone. It was a call from Solomon.“Hello?”The next moment, Solomon’s voice sounded from the phone. “Master Blair, I just received some information. Rahman has arrived in Richworth and brought quite a few men with him.”Blair frowned. “Who else is with him?”“No one.”Blair clenched his jaw. “Keep an eye on them!”“Yes.”Blair asked, “Any recent developments with Ralph?”“We have people monitoring him constantly. No developments so far, though.”Solomon rather admired Ralph. He was locked up for so long but could remain calm.Solomon did not know if it was just his imagination. However, he felt like Ralph was too calm. It was as if everything was in the palm
Nicki felt somewhat disappointed. She bit her lower lip and shook her head.It was not that she did not want to leave this place, but that she did not want to be alone with her mother.“If you don’t want to leave, do as Mommy tells you later, okay?”Nicki wrung her hands nervously and nodded in fear.Olivia nodded and revealed an evil smile. “Go to the garden and call 23 out...”...Blair went to the villa where Ralph was imprisoned.The three-story villa was on the outskirts and surrounded by his people inside and out, making it impossible to escape.Blair got out of the car and saw Ralph sitting in the garden from a distance, playing chess with Hugh.Although Blair imprisoned them here, he did not restrict their freedom. They could do whatever he wanted as long as they did not leave the villa.He walked over.Hugh saw Blair and said coldly, “Master Blair, you’ve finally decided to show up.”If Ralph had not told him to act recklessly, he would have already contacted his p
In the hospital.In the emergency room, Olivia sat weakly on a sick bed. One hand was wrapped in bandages, and there were bloodstains on her white dress.Nicki stood by the bed with tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.“Don’t cry, sweetie. Your mommy will be fine. It’s just a minor injury.”The nurse who was attending to Olivia comforted Nicki.She could not help but glance at Nicki. How could this woman, as a mother, not console her crying child?Her injuries were not serious at all. However, she was acting like she was dying.When Olivia heard the nurse say her injuries were not serious, she leaned back on the bed and massaged her temples. “Miss, I feel dizzy.”The nurse checked her condition and said, “Rest in bed for a while. If you still don’t feel better, ring the bell.”There was no injury on her head, so the dizziness was due to low blood sugar. A little rest would help her recover.“Okay, thank you.”After the nurse left, Olivia looked at Nicki and
Blair nodded. He remembered someone had drugged Liv with an unknown substance five years ago. However, he still did not know what that substance was.It was only now that he had found her, and she had undergone a full-body checkup that revealed a rare toxin that integrated into her bloodstream.Blair asked, “Have you figured out the detoxification method?”Dr. Zimmer said, “I’ve done a lot of research recently and did find a way to detoxify her. However, the most crucial medicinal herb is very hard to come by.”“What is it?”“The Ice Jade Flower.”Blair was stunned and frowned.The last remaining Ice Jade Flower had been given to Mable.Dr. Zimmer explained, “Master Blair, the Ice Jade Flower can neutralize all sorts of poisons. Using it will definitely cure Ms. Page.”Blair shook his head and said in a low voice, “The Ice Jade Flower has already been given to someone else. Is there any other method?”Dr. Zimmer looked at Blair in surprise. “There are no other methods.”Afte
In Oak Villa of Linders Castle, Frasier.After breakfast, Rory prepared to return to the castle with Mable and the others by helicopter.The castle was not far from Linders City, only an hour away by helicopter.Just before boarding, Rory received a call and went to the study with Adam.Mable waited in the living room. She did not sleep a wink last night. Her spirits were low, and her complexion was not too great.Her phone suddenly rang. Mable looked at it and saw that it was from Rahman.“Hello?”Mable answered the call, her voice lacking energy. “What’s going on, Rahman?”There was no sound from the phone.Mable frowned. “Rahman?”Then, a cold voice sounded. “It’s me, Mable.”Mable was stunned.It was Blair!Mable’s eyes teared up at the familiar voice.It had only been a week. Why did it feel like she had gone through so much?Overwhelming pain and sadness washed over her.She quickly composed herself and suppressed her surging emotions, asking, “Why is Rahman’s pho
“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to your grandfather.”The person Mable cared about the most was also someone he cared about.Mable frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”Rory leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs, saying in a lazy tone, “You were unconscious at the time. You couldn’t do anything even if I told you.”Mable looked at Adam. “The person Blair wants is me. I’ll go to Richworth.”Rory looked at her coldly and reprimanded her, “I’m guessing that Blair must think the confidential information about X was stolen by you and Zoe. He captured your grandfather to lure you out. Going to him is seeking your own death!”Adam nodded in agreement. “Rorr is right. It’s better if I go. Don’t worry, Mable. I’ll definitely save your grandfather.”“No, I’m going!”Mable insisted, her tone serious.She could not gamble on her grandfather’s life.Since Blair dared to say what he did, he would not allow them to rescue them easily. Even if Adam personally stepped in
