“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
At her words, Blair and Mable recalled what she meant.Mable did not expect Nicki to remember something that happened so long ago and even apologize to her about it.It seemed like the child’s thoughts were not malicious. She was just not properly guided.“It’s okay. It’s all in the past. I forgive you,” Mable said.If not for Olivia’s instigation, Nicki would not have done such a thing. Since she apologized, there was no need to hold a grudge against a child.After comforting Nicki, Blair and Mable left the ward.Mable looked at Blair and said, “I guess Nicki was probably trafficked. Have someone investigate thoroughly and see if we can find her biological parents.”Blair nodded. That was his plan, too, but...“What if we don’t find them?”Mable raised her brows and looked at him. “If we don’t find them, then adopt her as your goddaughter. After all, she’s been calling you Daddy for such a long time. You even chose her name.”Blair frowned and said nothing.Although he did
“Master Blair, we really might have gotten the wrong person.”Dick’s voice came through as soon as the call connected.Blair instructed him to reinvestigate the matter concerning Liv, so he naturally did not dare to be negligent and went to North Neya. He finally found some useful information after conducting investigations for nearly a month.Dick said, “The tattoo on Olivia’s back was done a year ago. I found the original tattoo artist. He looked at Olivia’s photo and confirmed that it was indeed her!“I also found out Olivia was brought to Neya ten years ago and has been operating in the northern region undercover. She has never left Neya during this period. However, she went missing for a month last year, which aligns with the time she got her tattoo.”Over the phone, Dick’s voice trembled with every word.This was a task he personally handled, and he was the one who informed Blair when he found Olivia. Now that there was such a major oversight, with Blair’s temperament, he m
The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze filled the air.Early in the morning, the photography team for the bridal photos arrived at Royal View Villa.Tracey accompanied Mable into the dressing room and inadvertently noticed a new light red floral pattern on Mable’s back.“Mabes, did you get this checked at the hospital?” Tracey asked in concern.Mable looked at the reflection of the new pattern on her back in the mirror and shook her head. She did not have the time with so much happening recently.“Does it hurt?” Tracey pressed on the floral pattern on her back and asked.Mable also touched it. “It doesn’t feel like anything. It doesn’t itch or hurt.”Tracey helped zip Mable up while saying, “You should still go and get it checked after these busy days. Your health is important.”“Yeah.”After changing clothes, Tracey helped Mable lift her dress, and they walked out together.Outside the door, Blair was dressed in a black suit, impeccably groomed and e
Arthur drove and looked at Tracey in the passenger seat, texting on her phone. He asked, “Why are you going to Sleepless City?”Tracey originally wanted to say that Solomon had something to discuss with her. However, she suddenly thought of something and looked at him, saying with a playful smile, “I’m going to have some fun, of course.”Arthur froze. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and frowned. “Have some fun?”Tracey leaned her head against the car window and said in a powerless tone, “When Blair and Mabes got married, I was single. When they divorced, I was also single. Now that they’re remarrying, I’m still single!”Arthur drove silently, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes before quickly disappearing.Tracey did not notice the smile. When he remained silent, she bit her lip in frustration.Did he not realize she was hinting that she was always waiting for him?Tracey stared at his profile and asked, “Are you going back to Fasier?”If not for Blair’s company sudden
Tracey originally thought Arthur would say he would wait for her, but he unexpectedly nodded. She immediately felt angry and slammed the door, walking away without looking back.Arthur watched her back and placed a hand over his heart.In the past, he always avoided facing Tracey’s feelings toward him. Now that she no longer loved him, he got what he wished for. However, he felt an unprecedented sense of loss.For the first time, his heart ached....In Sleepless City.Solomon had just finished inspecting the place when he saw Tracey storm in angrily.“Who ruffled your feathers?” He asked with a laugh.“No one.”Tracey did not want to bring up Arthur. She sat on the sofa, poured herself a drink, and asked, “Why are you in such a hurry to find me?”Seeing that she did not want to talk about it, Solomon did not press further. He sat on a nearby armchair and then said, “Next Monday is Ines’ birthday. Should we prepare a surprise for her?”Tracey’s lips twitched. “Do you even ha
“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
