Kyle got out of the car, and his dark eyes glanced at the people standing at the entrance.“Mr. Goodman, you’re here. Please come in.”The owner of Cloud Nine greeted him and gestured.Kyle walked in and asked, “Have the people from Secret arrived?”“Not yet.”Kyle frowned and looked at his wristwatch.The scheduled meeting time was 8:15 p.m. He hoped the other party would not be late.Cloud Nine was X’s largest territory, so Kyle had come personally for the handover today.The owner of Cloud Nine led Kyle to his office politely.Although X would no longer manage this place, he knew about X’s strength. There were bound to be conflicts with Secret in the future.Thus, the key to long-term survival was to not offend either side.Kyle was a very punctual person. He was never late or tolerated tardiness when dealing with others. It was well-known among the people he interacted with.Thus, when there were only two minutes left until the agreed-upon time, the owner of Cloud Nine
Zoe smiled charmingly. “If I die, do you think you and these people you brought with you will leave this place alive?”The air was thick with tension.When the owner of Cloud Nine saw this, he was concerned a fight would break out and quickly intervened.“Mr. Goodman and Ms. White, how about we discuss this in the office?”After all, they still had to sign the contract. They could not just stand at the entrance.Soon, the group returned to the office.Once they sat down, Zoe immediately said, “Contract.”Kyle raised his hand, and one of his subordinates handed him a folder containing the contract.“I’m very curious what method Mable used to make Blair agree to hand over the territory in Fasier to you.”Zoe looked at the man in front of her. Even though she was prepared for this encounter, she still felt uncomfortable.“You can ask Blair about that.”Men were all the same!When Zoe learned Mable had taken the territory from Blair, she felt a sense of satisfaction.Mable was
As soon as Zoe said those words, the surroundings cooled down noticeably.Kyle stared at her coldly and said in an icy tone, “What did you say?”“You don’t get it?”Zoe looked at him mockingly. “I said you’re pathetic. It’s a pity you’re not even aware of it yourself. Did you think I’d debase myself to be with you if it weren’t to gain your trust?”Zoe did not care about anything else now. She was ready to say anything to provoke Kyle.It was just a question of who could hurt the other more!Kyle’s lips twitched violently as he thought, ‘This damned woman. How dare she speak to me like this?’“I never knew how eloquent you were before!”Zoe snickered, her laugh full of charm. “There are many things you don’t know about me...”Before she could finish speaking, Kyle suddenly grabbed her waist and pinned her against the wall.Zoe struggled to break free. “Kyle Goodman, get your filthy hands off of me!”Kyle grabbed her chin and leaned in, his lips almost touching hers. “I’m pat
He came down from the platform, showered, and changed into clean clothes.“What happened?”His voice was incredibly hoarse.Solomon handed him a test report. “I checked it for you. Mable’s blood no longer has the effects of the Ice Jade Flower.”After Blair left last night, Solomon called the hospital and had them conduct an analysis overnight on Mable’s blood sample. The results were out early in the morning.Blair opened the report and looked at it. His cold eyes scanned the data on the report without any trace of emotion on his face.“Also, I took the opportunity to investigate Olivia’s medical records. Her condition is not as critical as it was made out to be. There’s something wrong with the doctor in charge of her case...”Amos clicked his tongue. Olivia was really playing with fire. She dared to collude with the doctor to play a trick on Blair.She must be tired of living!Blair finished reading the report and closed it. “Keep investigating!”Solomon rubbed his nose.
Blair did not miss the change in Olivia’s expression. He said, “I will arrange for another specialist to examine your body. If your illness can’t be cured here, then I’ll send you abroad for treatment.“If you feel that the treatment process is too difficult and refuse treatment, I can give you a sum of money so that you can live out your life comfortably.”Olivia was shocked. “Master Blair, what do you mean by this?”Blair was silent for a while before he said, “You can tell me if you have any other conditions. I will give it to you so long as it is within my means.”It was Blair’s way of thanking her for saving her life.Olivia finally realized that something was wrong. She quickly got out of bed and took Blair’s hand. “Blair, did I do something wrong?”Blair meant to draw a clear line between him and Olivia.Olivia would not let that happen.If she could no longer stay by Blair’s side, Anthony would think she was useless.Anthony had never been kind to people who were usele
Mable did not sleep last night. She sat on the balcony thinking all night.In the end, she decided to end it all quickly. She would deal with the matter in Richworth and return to Fasier as soon as possible.After breakfast, Mable left the house.She sent Anthony a message last night and asked him to meet her in the morning.“Spike, Mommy’s going out to settle some matters first. I’ll be back before lunch. Stay at home and be a good boy, okay? Message Mommy if anything happens.”Mable did not want to bring Spike with her to meet Anthony.Spike was very obedient. He kissed Mable on the cheek and nodded seriously, signaling he would wait for her at home.After getting dressed, Mable went out.Spike was sitting in the living room, building Lego robots. It only took him half an hour to build a third of the robot.Just when Spike was about to get a glass of water, the doorbell rang.Spike looked at the closed door and frowned.He thought, ‘Mommy wouldn’t come back so soon. Even i
Anthony looked at Mable and shook his head. “Mable, if you ask me out today just to ask this question, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”Mable frowned. “You don’t know, either?”Anthony shrugged his shoulders. “I’m as curious as you are. When I asked my dad, he refused to tell me.”Anthony asked Luke about the history between the Fowler and Jefferson families, but Luke did not want to tell him. Luke only said that it was not yet time for him to know. Luke would tell him when the time came.Although Anthony was curious, he did not pursue it.Moreover, Mable was the only Jefferson left, so Anthony thought there was nothing to fear.“The Jefferson family’s ancestral home is also in Richworth. Apparently, our families were on good terms back then.”Anthony nodded. “I’ve heard about this too.”He paused and said with a smile, “It’s probably a business dispute from decades ago that ended badly.”Mable shook her head and pondered. “I don’t think it’s that simple.”If it was just a
Anthony stood up. He seemed very excited and happy. “Mable, I knew you were smart. However, you’re even more intelligent and interesting than I thought.”He stood next to Mable, leaned over, and looked into her eyes. “What should I do? I’m becoming more interested in you.”“Hah!”Mable glared at him.Anthony smiled and sat down on the sofa. “Mable, how did you find out I was involved?”“Actually, I didn’t find anything. It was all my guess.”Mable only found it strange because she could not find anything.Anthony touched his chin and motioned for Mable to continue speaking.“As the boss of Black C, there are many ways for you to kill my grandfather. You can do it covertly and leave no evidence.However, when you learned that Luke wanted to kill my grandfather, you didn’t use Black C. Instead, you let Luke use his own men. You know that no matter how covert he tries to be, Secret will still find the traces when we investigate this.”Besides her grandfather, Rahman was also in
