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
Anthony whispered something in Mable’s ear.He looked at Mable’s shocked expression and smiled with satisfaction.“Anthony, you…”Anthony took a step back and smiled nonchalantly. “Mable, if you don’t believe me, you can just ask him.”Mable clenched her fists tightly until the veins on the back of her hands bulged.“I’ll get going, then. Goodbye.”Anthony laughed and left in a good mood.When he reached the door of the private room, he suddenly remembered something and stopped.“By the way, I suddenly remembered something.”Anthony turned back to look at Mable. “I know another secret, but I won’t tell you now. If you’re curious and want to know…”Anthony paused and pondered. After a while, he continued, “If you are really curious and want to know, you might as well consider marrying me. Then I’ll tell you that secret.”Mable spat at him. “Dream on!”How dare he say that!Mable did not care about that secret.Anthony did not say anything and left the private room with a m
Mable was furious. She took out her phone and dialed Blair’s number....At the same time, in X Group, Blair had someone capture and lock Spike up in his office. He had an important meeting, so he asked Amos to watch over Spike while he went to the conference room himself.Amos was initially worried that Spike would cry, make trouble, and jump off the building like last time. However, Spike was unexpectedly well-behaved this time. He sat on the sofa without making a fuss, being such a good kid.Spike sat there and looked around the office. Then, he turned to look at Amos, who was sitting in a corner.“Spike, what’s wrong?” Amos saw Spike staring at him innocently. His tone also became gentler.Spike moved his mouth but made no sound.Amos remembered that Spike could not speak. Since Amos could not lip-read either, he took a pen and a piece of paper and handed them to Spike.“Can you write? Just write down what you want to say.”Spike picked up the pen and wrote, “I’m thirsty.
“Master Blair ordered your kidnapping. I don’t know why, though. Don’t worry. Master Blair won’t hurt you.”Amos answered Spike’s question in a weak voice.Blair probably ordered the kidnapping of Spike to force Mable to submit to him.Even if Blair hated Mable, he would not harm a child.Spike wrote on the paper. “He wants to use me to threaten my mommy, right?”Amos raised his eyebrows. He did not think Spike would be so smart to guess it right.Amos nodded bravely. “Probably…”“What grudge does he have against my mommy?”Spike asked again in writing.Amos did not know how to answer him.What happened between Blair and Mable was complicated and could not be explained in just a few words. Even if Amos did explain, Spike might not be able to understand it as a child.Therefore, Amos would rather not say anything. He shook his head. “I don’t know.”Spike did not ask any more questions. He put down his pen and paper and prepared to leave.Amos quickly shouted, “Wait, Spike!
When the elevator reached the first floor, Spike and Nicki walked out.Nicki held Spike’s hand and said innocently, “My dad is the boss of this company. He’s really powerful, and he knows many great doctors. I’ll ask my dad if he knows any doctors who can treat your throat. That way, you can be cured!”Nicki thought, ‘This boy is really handsome. If he could speak, his voice would be very nice, too.’Spike stared at Nicki and frowned in thought. ‘Her father is the boss of this company?’‘Nicki just told me that her name was Nicole Fowler. The guy who kidnapped me was Blair Fowler.‘That means Nicki is that bad guy’s daughter!’Spike stared at Nicki with a sly smile on his baby face.......In the conference room upstairs, Blair stared at his phone while listening to his subordinates’ report on the project.His phone screen lit up.After a while, it blacked out. Then, it lit up again within a few seconds.In a short period, he had received more than 20 missed calls from Mable
When Mable heard what Blair said, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.Blair wanted her to give him another child.Impossible!Blair pinched Mable’s chin. “Didn’t you say you wanted to get even with me? Bear my child and I’ll let you go.”“No!” Mable yelled.“I don’t want to bear your child. Go find someone else!”Blair laughed coldly. “Mable, you don’t have the right to reject me.“Don’t forget that your son is in my hands now!”Mable clenched her fists and trembled with anger. “Blair, you’re despicable!”“Ha! Mable, this is just the beginning…”Blair pushed Mable off. Mable fell off the conference table and onto the floor.Blair straightened his tie and stared at her condescendingly. “If you want to save your son, you’d better do as I say!”Mable clenched her fists. She was about to say something when her phone beeped.She was stunned because this was a special ringtone she set up for Spike’s messages.Mable immediately took out her phone and read the messag
“Master… Blair…”Amos’s whole body was stiff. He could not exert any strength and even struggled to speak.He looked at Blair and said intermittently, “I was drugged by… Spike… He… ran away…”Solomon’s eyes widened. He did not believe that Amos could be drugged by a five-year-old child.There were surveillance cameras in Blair’s office. So, Blair turned on his computer and watched the surveillance footage.After watching the surveillance footage, Blair’s face darkened.Spike was already scheming at such a young age. He even knew how to drug people. It was true that the apple did not fall far from the tree!No wonder Mable left immediately after receiving a message just now. Spike must have told her he had escaped.Blair asked someone to take Amos to the hospital and left the office....On the other side, Spike brought Nicki back to the apartment.After he sent a message to his mother to tell her he was safe, he locked the front door.Nicki looked at Spike and said, “I need
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
