#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
“I’ve not seen Blair yet, so I can’t tell you the extent of his injuries. I tried to ask the nurse. Apparently, he was pretty badly banged up. He nearly didn’t make it. He was in the ICU for two days and just woke up this morning.” Olivia then asked, “Do you need me to do anything, sir?” The man on the other end of the line fell silent for a bit before saying, “He probably will be in the hospital for a while.” “I’m sure he would since he sustained severe injuries.” “You should check out of the hospital when you can.” Olivia was confused as she could find a way to get close to Blair while at the hospital. The chances of meeting Blair would be unlikely if she left the hospital grounds. Before Olivia could raise a question, the man said, “Figure out a way to stay in Royal View Villa with Blair’s permission once you leave the hospital. I need you to go to his study and find something for me.” Olivia learned why she needed to check out of the hospital. “Alright, but what sho
As the man walked out of the cemetery, three men and a woman in black walked toward him. Despite wearing sunglasses, the man walking ahead of his group looked ghastly pale. Since there was only one funeral at the cemetery, they were most likely there to pay their last respects to Ralph. The man left the cemetery grounds and got into the car when his phone rang. He took the call. “Hello?” “How was it?” On the other end of the line was a woman. The man sighed to himself. “She’s the only one left in her family, Your Majesty.” Silence ensued. “Your Majesty—” “If I had known that would be the last time I saw him, I would’ve been nicer to him.” “I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” “Is she doing well?” Before the man could answer, the woman mumbled to herself. “Why did I even ask? Of course, she’s not fine. I don’t have the right to ask. Out of everybody, I don’t deserve to ask about her well-being.” “Your Majesty—” The call abruptly ended. Looking at the disconnected ca
