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
As the head of Fowler Enterprise and the household, Luke rarely made appearances. However, it was only right that he shared a few words on such a major occasion. Hence, Luke went up on stage to give a brief speech at the start of the event before handing the spotlight to his son, Anthony. Blair sat in a corner with little enthusiasm. His eyes followed Anthony, who was on stage in the spotlight, without a hint of emotion. Luke’s personal attendant approached and said respectfully, “Mr. Luke wishes to see you, sir.” Blair put down his glass and glanced at Mable and Rory on the other side of the room. He instructed Amos to keep an eye on them before following the staff upstairs. He was led to a private room upstairs. Dressed in a navy blue suit, Luke sat with his legs crossed. Judging by the teapot in front of him, he was making tea. The attendant gave the father and son some space after bringing Blair in. Luke and Blair were the only ones left in the room. Blair walked
Luke widened his eyes in disbelief at Blair as he crushed the mug in his hand. Blair rose to his feet, his stern expression and erect posture leaving no doubt that he meant business. “You have two days to turn yourself in, or I’ll hand over the evidence of your involvement in Ralph’s death to the police. I won’t hesitate to expose the family secret either.” “Blair!” Luke jolted up, his gaze menacing. “Don’t you dare!” Blair lifted his chin. “Try me.” He turned on his heel and took off. Luke narrowed his eyes dangerously and smirked. “Don’t you want to know who your real mother is, Blair?” Blair stopped in his tracks and looked back at him. “What did you say?” Luke came closer to him. “What if I told you that your mother is still alive? Don’t you want to know who she is?” Blair stared into Luke’s eyes and scoffed without a word. “I can tell you her location. In exchange, I want you to keep the family secret to yourself forever.” Luke vowed to protect the family l
