Blair had ordered himself a lovely three-course meal. He was not finished with his meal because he had been drinking, barely touching his food. He was injured, so he should not be drinking. “Don’t drink too much.” As a doctor, Mable felt responsible to tell him off. Blair paused and put down his wine glass. “You care about me, Mabes.” Mable was emotionless. “Care about you? Do you deserve it? I’m just worried you’ll get too drunk to remember what our deal was.” Blair stared into Mable’s eyes, trying to find evidence that she was not speaking from the heart. However, her eyes were cold. He could not read her positive feelings for him. Blair downed the drink and poured himself another half a glass. It was clear to Mable that Blair was delaying time. She said impatiently, “When are you going to give me what I want?” Blair looked at her with a sneer. “We’re not even done with dinner. What’s the rush? I said I will give you the files.” His phone rang. Blair looked at t
Mable smirked in fury and lifted her chin to confront him. “You love me? Is that why you risked my life for information about Olivia? Is that why you forced me to give blood to her despite my poor health? Is that why you threatened me and caused the death of the family I cared most about?“Is that your love, Blair? What does it mean next to your love for Olivia, though?”Her unborn child mattered to Blair now because he needed the umbilical cord to save Olivia. As she said, Blair was willing to do anything for Olivia. Blair looked at Mable furiously, his veins showing. “What are you talking about?” When did he exchange her life for Olivia's information? Blair had no idea Mable was pregnant during the blood transfusion. Otherwise, he would not have allowed her to donate blood. “Mable—” Before Blair could say his piece, the door to the private dining room opened. Amos anxiously rushed inside. “Aunt Grace called to say that Ms. Page had fainted, Master Blair.” Blair was
Blair felt his cufflink and pulled away from Olivia’s grasp. He turned to Aunt Grace and instructed, “Get the medical team from before to reside at the villa.” Since Olivia did not want to stay at the hospital, this was the only way forward. He owed her, so he would try his best to make up for it. “Thank you, Blair,” Olivia said with a smile. “Have an early rest.” Blair turned on his heel to leave. Olivia thought Blair would stay at the villa that night, but the roaring engine of the car soon came from outside. She asked the household staff and learned that Blair had taken off. Blair had not spent the night in Royal View Villa since she moved in from the hospital. Olivia faked her illness to trick Blair home, thinking it was a chance to get closer to him. To her surprise, Blair only came for a quick visit. He left after that. Maybe he was out to meet Mable. Olivia felt like she could not get rid of the woman. In the dark of the night, Olivia sat in the room an
Rory was furious. “You went to him all for that? Why didn’t you come to me? I could’ve brought my team to take the files from him by force.” Mable covered her face with her palm in frustration. She did not tell Rory because she knew he would do that. “You’d have caused a stir by demanding the files from him. Everybody would have known the crash wasn’t an accident and alerted the mastermind. We won’t get the upper hand in the investigation.” The investigation had to be carried out in the dark. Rory understood where she was coming from. However, it still upset him that Mable went to see Blair. “I won’t be so nice if you see him again.” Leaning against the sofa, Mable shook her head. It was unlikely. She would not meet Blair again unless necessary. Rory pointed at the kitchen. “Go and take your medicine.” Mable stood up and went to the kitchen. A while later, she emerged with a serum. “I had no idea that fighting poison with poison was so effective. I should have lea
Olivia did not sleep well the night before. The next morning, she woke determined to find a way to get Blair to put more effort into her.She finally got Mable to break up with him. Olivia needed to seize the opportunity and kill any possibility of them getting back together. As her mind raced with thoughts, Olivia decided to take a trip to Blair’s workplace and deliver him a homemade lunch. Since Olivia was not good at cooking, she instructed the household staff to prepare the food. The weather was sunny, offering a nice warmth. Olivia took a stroll around the garden. However, her mood turned foul when she saw the rose garden. All women loved flowers, and she was no exception. Nevertheless, Olivia was jealous to learn from the household staff that the rose garden was a proposal gift from Blair to Mable. Suddenly, the garden was not such a pleasure to look at anymore. Just then, a deliveryman approached the entrance. It was a parcel for Blair. The household staff signe
Olivia gave the utensil to Blair. “I made the food, Blair. I don’t know if the food is to your liking, but try it.” Blair took the spoon, but he did not have any appetite. “What’s this?” Blair saw the paper bag on the table. Olivia pulled out a parcel from the bag and gave it to him. “It’s a parcel for you. I was afraid it might be something important, so I brought it along with me.” Blair put down the utensil and took the parcel for a look. It was delivered from Ashdale. It was from Ms. Jefferson. Mable! He opened the parcel and took out the contents. Once he had a good look at the item, he grimaced. It was the ring again. Blair had a sinking feeling. It was as if someone stabbed him in the heart. That night, he slipped into the Jefferson Residence and placed the ring by Mable’s pillow. It never occurred to him that Mable would deliver the ring back to him. She was in a hurry to dissociate herself from him. ‘Mable, are you for real?’Blair clutched the ring
Solomon looked at Blair in hesitation before saying, “Didn’t you ask me to look into Anthony? I’m onto something. If Aust’s reason to be in Richworth is to meet him, then things might be more complicated than we think.” Blair narrowed his eyes for a while, then turned to Solomon. “Maybe I underestimated Anthony. If he is connected to Aust, then he probably has something to do with the incident five years ago.” Solomon nodded. “My thoughts exactly.” Blair said, “I’m attending Fowler Enterprise’s annual dinner party tonight. I can use the opportunity to sound him out.” Solomon looked surprised. “Huh? You’re attending their annual company event?” Did Blair not cut ties with the Fowlers? Holy shit. Solomon could not believe the Fowlers would give him access. Blair pointed at the invitation on the desk. “Luke had the invitation delivered.” Solomon walked over and picked up the invitation for a look. He said worriedly, “It’s probably a trap.” Blair tensed his facial muscles,
The guy went to great lengths to snatch someone else’s invitation. What was Rory up to? “Don’t worry. I won’t start anything tonight.” Rory took Mable’s hand and placed it over his arm. He curled his lips and flashed his bad-boy smile. “I just want to see what the Fowlers, the top family of Dorland, have to offer.” Knowing the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses was essential as the saying went.Once in the elevator, Mable looked at Rory and Adam and said, “Anthony is in charge of Fowler Enterprise now. Interestingly enough, Anthony is not the heir of the Fowlers. He is also Calvin, the boss of Black C.” Adam frowned. “Calvin?” Rory glanced at Adam. “I remember you telling me that Black C fought us for our territory.” Adam nodded, recalling the incident. “The situation escalated rather quickly. Rahman had to sort out the matter himself.” Rory laughed. “The Fowlers are more than meets the eye.” Blair was the boss of X, while Anthony was the leader of Black C. How interes
