Airport.After Adam and Rory got off the plane, they turned on their phones and found missed calls from the same unknown number.The number was from Richworth.Adam called back.After the call was connected, he said, “Hello, I received a missed call from you on my phone. Who are you?”“Adam, it’s me.”Mable’s voice came through.Adam raised his eyebrows. “Mabes, are you okay?”“Yeah.”Mable’s voice was weak, so it was hard to believe thst she was fine.“Rorr and I have just arrived in Richworth. Where are you now? We will pick you up.”“You’re in Richworth?”Mable paused and said, “Wait for me at the airport. I have to confirm something and will contact you again after.Adam glanced at Rory, who was beside him, and asked Mable, “What do you want to confirm?”“Beep—”Mable hung up the phone.“What did she say?” Rory asked with a frown.Adam looked at him. “Mabes asked us to wait for her at the airport. She said she must confirm something now.”Rory frowned and felt une
Blair stood at the door. His whole body was tense as he listened to Mable’s cries. He felt so distressed that he found it difficult to breathe.He still did not manage to hide this from her.Blair clenched his fists tightly and walked in with difficulty.In the memorial hall, Mable kneeled beside her grandfather’s body while Ethan stood behind her with his head lowered. His eyes were slightly red.Hearing footsteps, Ethan turned his head and saw Blair walking over in a black suit.Ethan looked at Mable, then at Blair, and stepped aside.Mable held her grandfather’s cold and thin hand. Her face was pale and covered with tears.“Grandpa, Grandpa... I’m sorry, Grandpa…”The only relative she had passed away. Mable could not accept this fact and was heartbroken.All of this was her fault. If she had listened to her grandfather and left Blair in the first place, none of this would have happened.She was too willful. In the end, her grandfather had to suffer the consequences.At t
#Adam found Mable’s phone location—Wistmount Funeral Home. When Adam arrived, he saw two ambulances driving out of the funeral home from a distance, followed by three to four cars.Adam got out of the car and inquired about the situation. When he got back into the car, his expression was solemn.He looked at Rory and said, “Mabes’ grandfather just passed away. His body is inside.”Rory’s expression darkened in an instant, and he got out of the car.Rory entered the memorial hall and noticed the staff cleaning up the blood stains on the floor. He frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”Why was there so much blood on the floor?Adam replied, “It should be Blair’s. I heard Mabes stabbed him in the heart.”Rory squinted his eyes slightly. His gaze was sharp.That was long overdue!Mable stabbed Blair in front of her grandfather’s memorial, which meant Blair had probably killed her grandfather.Rory stared at Ralph’s portrait, walked over, and bowed to pay his respects.Adam also b
The ICU was supposed to be a clean and peaceful place. However, there was strong tension in the air now.“Don’t be so nervous. I just stopped by to take a look.”Rory looked at the people standing before him with disdain in his eyes.Solomon snorted coldly. “I think you’re just here for a laugh!”Rory looked at him. “A laugh? Ha! Yes, it’s truly funny.”Rory asked the doctor about Blair’s injury. If Mable had moved the scalpel one centimeter deeper, Blair would already be lying in the coffin.Mable was a doctor and knew human anatomy very well. She should be able to stab Blair’s heart accurately even with her eyes closed.However, Mable still showed mercy to Blair.That was the funny part.“Tell Blair I will use all of Secret’s strength to make his life hell!”Since Mable spared his life, Rory would grant her wish and let Blair live for now.However, Rory would not let this slide.Kyle narrowed his eyes dangerously and sneered. “How arrogant!”Kyle used Tracey’s number to
“Bang!” The bedroom door kicked open. Armed men barged in, followed by a man in a black windbreaker and boots who strode into the place.The nurses and doctors in the bedroom cowered in a corner in fright, not daring to move an inch. Despite the heavy security outside, these people managed to enter the room. Maybe… Rory made a beeline to the bed and pulled the covers open. He took off his windbreaker to wrap Mable in before picking her up. He stared at Mable with a complicated look. She was a fool. For the years he had known her, he had never seen her in such a terrible shape. She was always on top of things. No one could get the best of her. “I’m here to take you home, Mabes,” Rory said tenderly. Holding Mable tight, Rory was ready to leave. “W-Where are you taking our madam?” Seeing they were taking Mable away, Aunt Grace plucked up the courage to ask. Rory side-eyed the talking old woman and narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Your madam?” Yeah, right. Ro
Rory abducted Mable from Royal View Villa but was not in a hurry to leave for Fasier. Instead, he took her back to the Jefferson Residence in Ashdale. Ralph’s body was transported back and placed in a coffin in the living room of the residence. That afternoon, there was a brief funeral service at the Jefferson Residence. Mable woke up, dressed in black, then spent some time with Ralph by his coffin. Rory and Adam took charge and organized Ralph’s funeral service. Ralph was a prominent figure in Ashdale, so when word of his passing got out, plenty came to give their condolences and pay their last respects. The funeral happened three days after Ralph passed away. It was pin-drop silent at the residence in the middle of the night. Mable quietly sat looking at Ralph’s photograph, her body rigid and motionless. Adam entered the room and bent over to pull her up from her seat. “You’ve been in the same position all afternoon. Get up.” Mable did not move. Not knowing what t
Back in Richworth, Blair was at the hospital for three days before regaining consciousness. The moment his eyes opened, Tracey crouched on his bedside and wailed. “You’re finally awake, Blair.” Tracey had been on pins and needles for the last few days, fearing his illness would relapse or his condition would worsen.Blair had a narrow escape from death. He could barely work up the strength to move his finger when he woke up. He turned to Kyle and Solomon at his bedside, his lips quivering. “What are you trying to say, Blair?” Tracey leaned in to listen and heard, “Mable.” Wiping away her tears, Tracey sobbed. “Concentrate on your recovery, Blair. Anything can wait until you’re all better.” If Blair was to find out that Mable had been taken, he would ignore his health and go after her. Despite Tracey’s intention, Kyle said, “Rory took Mable and Ralph’s body to Ashdale. Ralph’s funeral will be held tomorrow.” Tracey glared at Kyle, frustrated that he decided to go ahea
The group walked out of the ward when Olivia, wearing a hospital gown, came approaching their way. “I heard Blair is awake. Can I see him?” Amos said, “Master Blair just regained consciousness, Ms. Page. He needs rest.” Raising a brow, Tracey checked out the woman before her eyes. The woman must be Liv or Olivia. In Tracey’s opinion, Olivia was not even good-looking. Her angelic look was likely just skin deep.“I’m going in to check on him,” Olivia said while proceeding to push the door open. Tracey put her foot out to block the entryway. “The doctor said that Blair needs rest. No one should disturb him.” Olivia turned to Tracey and pleaded, “I promise I won’t disrupt Blair from his rest, Tracey. I just want to check on him real quick. Please?” “No means no!” Tracey pulled a long face. Olivia appeared hurt. With folded arms, Solomon said sarcastically, “You should go back to your room, Ms. Page. You might fall sick before Blair gets better. Everybody is busy. Nobod
