As Blair looked at Mable, a trace of imperceptible amazement flashed across his eyes. Mable wore a black tunic dress with a side slit today. When she walked, her slender legs could be vaguely seen. She wore her curly hair down, and her makeup was delicate and stunning, making her look lazy yet seductive. “Mable?” Solomon looked at Mable. He subconsciously took a step back when he remembered her feat last night in Sleepless City. Mable ignored him and walked straight up to Blair. “Give me back my jade pendant.” Blair stared at Mable, whose temperament was completely different from before. He frowned and asked, “What jade pendant?” Mable scoffed. She knew Blair must have forgotten. She recalled when she gave him the jade pendant and how he casually threw it on the table without even looking at it. “I gave you a jade pendant when we got married.” Mable’s tone was cold. Blair thought carefully and remembered there seemed to be such a thing. When he rescued Mable two yea
Beatrice did not expect the usually soft and deceivable Mable to dare to talk to her like that. She was so mad that her face changed. “Mable, don’t you think you're being cheap? Blair has divorced you. Why are you still pestering him?!” ‘This shameless woman must have dressed up so beautifully to seduce Blair.’ Mable curled her red lips into an evil smile. “Ms. Stanton, Blair and I haven’t received our divorce certificate, so legally, we’re still married.” Beatrice rushed up to Mable and arrogantly pointed at her nose. “So what if you’re legally married? It’s not like you’re the one Blair likes!” “It doesn’t matter if he likes me or not. What matters is that as long as I don’t get a divorce, I’m the rightful Mrs. Fowler.” Beatrice simply wanted to rip Mable’s vixen-like face apart. “I’ve seen a lot of women like you. You’re dragging it on and refusing to divorce just for the money, aren’t you?!” While saying that, she took a check from her bag and threw it at Mable’s fa
In all his 26 years of living, no one had ever dared splash Blair with coffee.“If you want to die, I can make it happen!” “Ha.” Mable scoffed disdainfully. Even in the face of such great pressure from Blair, she was not afraid. “Try me.” ‘See if I’ll blow your head off!’ Blair’s reserved and handsome face was shrouded in an indescribable danger. “Don’t think I won’t dare to do anything to you just because you have Rahman to back you up!” Mable raised her eyebrow. It had always been her who backed up Rahman, that idiot! “What’s the matter? Are you jealous because someone is backing me up?” Blair choked. He did not like her, so how could he be jealous? He just felt very unhappy! “Mable, if you’re trying to play hard to get, I advise you to drop the idea before it’s too late!” Mable rolled her eyes at him. “Play hard to get, my *ss!” ‘Scum! ‘Does he think I’m loved by all?’ Mable was afraid that she would not be able to resist killing Blair if she stayed an
In the outskirts of the city, Cloud Villa. At this moment, Tracey was sitting on the sofa with her hands tied and mouth taped shut. Two bodyguards in black stood on her left and right, their gazes fixed on her. A man hung up the phone and looked back at the two bodyguards. “Hurry up and untie Ms. Fowler.” As soon as her hands were freed, Tracey ripped the tape off her mouth and stood up with a huff. “Henry, what the f*ck is wrong with you? How dare you kidnap me?!” Among Richworth’s three great families, apart from the Fowlers, there were the Morses and the Walkers. Although the Morses were not close to the Fowlers, there were still some dealings between them. “Ms. Fowler, please don’t be mad. I won’t hurt you. I only brought you here to get Mable to come.” Tracey’s heart thumped. She had also just learned that Mable hurt Beatrice’s face and broken one of her hands. Henry was Beatrice’s loyal lapdog. Since he kidnapped Tracey to lure Mable, he must want to avenge Be
One moment, Tracey was worried about Mable. However, the next moment, she saw her effortlessly take out the two bodyguards who seized her. One of the bodyguards was hit in the head with the stick, while the other was kicked away by Mable. Without the chance to even scream, both of them fell hard to the ground. When Henry saw that the situation was not right, he quickly shouted at the door, “Somebody! Come!” Mable lightly ruffled her long hair and looked at Henry, “If you’re calling for the dozen people outside the door, I advise you not to waste your time.” Henry gasped and looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief. The twenty people he had brought tonight were all skilled professional bodyguards. How could they have been dealt with by her so quickly? They did not even last ten minutes! ‘How could this woman be so strong?! ‘Didn’t everyone always say she’s weak and fragile? ‘She’s a f*cking tigress in disguise!’ Mable had no expression on her face except fo
“Ah!” Frightened by the scream, Tracey was about to return to the living room to see what was going on when she saw Mable walk out. “Mabes!” She hurriedly ran over and held Mable’s hands. “Are you okay?” Mable looked at Tracey. “I’m fine, I’m fine.” Tracey nodded. She was only relieved when she saw that Mable was uninjured. “Mabes, you didn’t…” Tracey looked toward the living room and made a gesture of slitting her throat. Mable answered, “I didn’t kill anyone tonight!” Henry was not worthy of being killed by her. Tracey followed Mable out of the courtyard and saw a dozen bodyguards lying on the ground. She covered her mouth and did not dare to breathe hard. ‘Did Mabes… settle all of them?’ Tracey looked at Mable with admiration and gave her a thumbs-up. “Mabes, what kind of praises would you like to hear? I’ll sing them to you!” Mable smiled charmingly and was about to respond when she saw a black Maybach and a silver Bentley driving in their direction. “It
Tracey looked at her brother. ‘Isn’t he the one who forced Mabes to divorce? ‘Why does it look like he was the one dumped instead? ‘I don’t understand him!’ Mable rolled her eyes at Blair. No longer interested in engaging with them, she said indifferently, “Mr. Morse, if you’d like to avenge your brother, I’m ready whenever.” She paused, then added with a smile, “Though, I’d like to kindly remind you to bring more people.” Howard frowned. ‘This woman isn’t just a little arrogant!’ After she finished, Mable directly went into the red sports car parked by the road. She hit the accelerator, and her car sped away like an arrow leaving its bow. “Mabes…” By the time Tracey returned to her senses, the red car’s tail lights had gotten farther and farther away. Tracey was so excited that she was about to jump. “Blair, Mabes was so cool tonight. She alone defeated Henry’s bodyguards in a one-sided manner…” Blair stared in the direction Mable left, his dark eyes gradually shro
Mable could not believe it. She was just about to call her grandpa when she saw a news item pop up on the laptop screen. [Ashdale’s first socialite, Marissa Jefferson, to marry the eldest son of the Snyders, wedding date confirmed.] Below the headline was the wedding photo of Marissa and Dane. Mable stared at the photo in shock. One of the two people was her cousin, while the other was her fiance who had been engaged to her five years ago. They were getting married! Moreover, they had taken their wedding photos. ‘Motherf*cker! ‘Do Marissa and Dane think I’m dead?!’ Mable immediately searched what happened to the Jeffersons in the past two years and finally found two important things. The first was that the Jeffersons had announced her death two years ago. Furthermore, they held a decent funeral for her. The second thing was that Old Mr. Jefferson was so devastated by her death that he had a stroke and became paralyzed. Mable’s grandpa was the only one among
“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
