Anthony wondered if the woman was related to Mable. “Mable?” Marissa gripped the wine glass as malice reflected on her face. “Oh, so Agnes is now Mable.” Regardless of Agnes’ name, Marissa wanted to make her life a living hell. Anthony looked at Marissa and nodded. He reminded her, “You have not answered my question.” Marissa looked at Anthony arrogantly. “What’s my relationship with her? I used to call her my cousin.” Anthony got his answer. ‘You’re Mable’s cousin, but you don’t look alike.” Mable was prettier and classier than her. However, Marissa raised her voice and hissed through clenched teeth, “Of course, we don’t look alike. I am a descendant of the Jefferson family, but Agnes isn’t even part of the family. She’s nothing. Grandpa was foolish to hand the family in the hands of an outsider like her.” Anthony was surprised but found it amusing. “So Mable isn’t part of the Jefferson family?” Who was she, then? … After her phone call with Anthony, Olivia wai
In the morning, Grace sent Nicki to preschool. Just as they got out of the car and were about to cross the road, a van suddenly rushed into the sidewalk, hitting Nicki.Grace anxiously waited outside the operating room. She was also injured, but not severely. Nicki’s condition was much more serious.If anything happened to Nicki, how would she explain this to Master Blair?“Aunt Grace!”Blair and Mable rushed over to the hospital where Nicki was undergoing surgery after receiving the call from Grace,“Master Blair, Madam!” Grace hurried over when she saw Blair and Mable arrive.Blair looked at the bloodstains on Grace’s clothes and frowned tightly. “How is Nicki?”Although she was not his biological daughter, she had been calling him ‘daddy’ for almost half a year. Blair could not help but feel concerned when he heard of her accident.Grace wiped her tears and blamed herself. “She’s still in surgery. Master Blair, it was my fault. I didn’t protect Nicki. I deserve to die!”Mab
Solomon said, “He’s with me. I’m interrogating him to find out who’s behind this.”“Send some people to find Olivia. I want to see her dead or alive!”“Got it.”After Blair hung up the phone, Mable asked with a frown, “Olivia is missing?”Blair nodded and told her what Solomon told him earlier.“Someone wanted to kill Olivia!”Mable thought for a moment and asked, “Do you think she escaped on her own, someone rescued her, or she was silenced?”Blair said, “She most likely wasn’t silenced.”According to Solomon, Olivia had fainted. If someone had silenced her, they would not have gone through the trouble of hiding her body.Thus, it was more likely that she either escaped on her own or had someone rescue her.Blair was not particularly interested. As long as Olivia was still in Richworth, he would be able to find her.What he was interested in was who the person behind Olivia was!If their motive was just to get her to impersonate Liv, they would not go to such lengths to ha
The man looked at the woman curled up on the bed, his imposing face revealing a hint of disdain. “How can someone so timid be worthy of being a descendant of the Mullers!”Olivia looked at the man in fear and shook her head, not understanding what he meant.The man raised his hand and instructed the female bodyguard behind him, “Take off her clothes!”Olivia paled and trembled with the blanket wrapped around her. “No! What are you trying to do?”The female bodyguard stepped forward and said respectfully, “Calm down, Miss. We just want to see the totem on your back. We won’t do anything inappropriate.”“T...Totem?”There was no totem on her back. It was clearly a tattoo.The bodyguard nodded, removed Olivia’s shirt, and used the blanket to cover her front.Olivia did not dare to resist, nor did she have the ability to. She could only shiver while holding the blanket, exposing her back.The man stared at the tattoo on her back, and his eyes narrowed slightly. A coldness crept in
There were too many mythical beasts. Blair did not know what this one was.“Jarius!”Blair raised an eyebrow. He had heard of that beast before.The legends described Jarius as having a strong and brave personality, skilled in combat, and fond of bloodshed and killing.This fierce mythical beast was not very suitable to be worn around the neck due to its intense hostility.Blair looked at the pendant that still carried some lingering warmth and asked, “What does this pendant symbolize?”He knew this pendant was important to Mable.Mable said, “It’s a token of Secret.”Blair froze. “It is?”“I never reveal my true appearance in Secret, so not many people have seen my face. To those under me, seeing Jarius is like seeing me, the second boss of Secret.”“So, anyone holding it can command Secret?”Mable nodded. “Yes. It can order anyone except Rory.”Mable smiled when she remembered how she mistakenly took this pendant as a wedding gift for him when she lost her memory. “Back t
“Anthony?”Mable looked at Blair in disbelief. “What does he have to do with Joseph?”Blair looked at her and reminded her, “You forgot that Anthony has another identity.”Mable immediately caught on. “Anthony is the boss of Black C. Joseph... Is he related to Black C?”Blair nodded. “I’ve investigated Black C’s background and found that half their arms smuggling channels are under the jurisdiction of Monafett’s military. Moreover, some of these places are directly controlled by members of the royal family.”Mable understood now. “In other words, Joseph and Anthony are on the same side.”It was no wonder Black C thrived in Monafett through smuggling. He had support from a member of the royal family.Mable looked at Blair and pondered, “But why would Anthony want to harm Olivia?”Blair said, “There’s only one reason that makes sense.”Mable raised her brows. “Olivia is working for Anthony?”Blair nodded.After Fowler Enterprise went bankrupt, Anthony left Dorland. Blair found
After all, the other party was a royal prince. Any slight mistake could implicate the whole family, so he had to consider it carefully.“Okay, call me anytime once you’ve decided.”Mable hung up the phone and heard Blair’s voice behind her. “What were you discussing with Rahman?”He came in and overheard Mable telling Rahman something about mutual assistance.Mable turned to look at him and said, “I want him to help take down Joseph so that Anthony will have one less powerful ally.”Blair took Mable to the sofa and took out ointment to apply to her hand while saying, “Joseph’s identity is too sensitive. It’s best not to have a direct conflict with him unless absolutely necessary.”Mable nodded. “I have to admit that Anthony found himself a powerful backer. If Joseph becomes the king of Monafett in the future, his influence will be even greater.”Blair disagreed. “The current situation in Monafett isn’t as calm as it appears on the surface. The current king has two sons and a dau
After narrowly escaping a life-threatening situation, Nicki spent three days in the ICU. Then, Blair transferred her to a private hospital under his name in a room next to Spike’s.In the ward, Nicki had just regained consciousness when a doctor examined her by her bedside.“Master Blair, the patient’s condition is mostly stable now. With proper treatment, the injuries on her legs will heal without affecting her ability to walk in the future. However...”As the doctor spoke, he looked at Nicki lying on the bed and lamented, “Her facial injuries are quite deep and are likely to leave scars.”Appearances were crucial to young girls. Having her face disfigured at such a young age...Nicki lay on the bed and seemed to understand what the doctor said. She tried to touch her face.Mable pressed her hand down to prevent her and reassured her, “It’s okay. When you grow up a bit more, you can undergo cosmetic surgery to remove the scars on your face.”Nicki blinked and looked at Mable ti
