“Who said I’m not?! I’m—”“That’s enough!”Howard was not in the mood for Henry’s nonsense. He reminded him, “Since your relationship with Miss Fowler isn’t real, you shouldn’t do things you shouldn’t! Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Blair Fowler and Mable aren’t pushovers. If you dare to take advantage of Miss Fowler, you’ll get what’s coming when the time comes!”Henry scowled fiercely and was about to say something when the door that had not been closed was suddenly pushed open from the outside.Howard looked back and immediately recognized the person standing at the door. It was Blair Fowler’s bodyguard, Arthur Marshall.Did Blair know Tracey was here with his brother and had come to catch them?“Arthur…” Tracey looked at Arthur, quickly sweeping a look over his empty hands.He had not brought anything!Arthur looked at the Morse brothers standing in the hallway, then passed them to Tracey, sitting in a robe on the sofa.His originally grim expression darkened even f
One of the police officers said, “We received a tip-off that illegal activities were taking place here. Please come with us to have a chat down at the station.”Tracey was shocked.Howard was speechless.Henry, on the other hand, was exclaiming internally, ‘For fuck’s sake, Marshall!’…At the police station.After the police did some investigation and the three did a lot of explaining, half the night had passed by the time Tracey and the Morse brothers walked out of the police station.Howard wore a cold expression the whole time, wishing he could kick his useless little brother down and grind him into the floor.Tracey’s car was still parked in the hotel parking lot, so Howard said, “Miss Fowler, I’ll send you back.”He did not feel comfortable letting her take a taxi back this late at night.“Alright.”Tracey got into the car, listless.Henry sat in the passenger’s seat and looked back at Tracey, saying in a consoling manner, “Tracey, although Arthur may have reported us
Arthur had lost to Tracey. He could not just watch her get together with another man.Just the thought of her kissing someone else drove him crazy with jealousy and made him feel like killing someone.“Tracey…”Tracey finally managed to push him away, tears streaming down her face. “Bastard! Who said you could kiss me? What right do you have?”She cried while kicking him as hard as she could.Arthur stood there unmoving, allowing her to vent her anger.As Tracey vented her feelings, she got more distressed the more she cried. “Didn’t you leave? Why did you follow me then? I’m telling you, Arthur Marshall—even if I’m unchaste, you don’t have the right to force yourself on me!”She was wearing heels and almost fell accidentally.Arthur hurriedly caught her, pulling her into his arms while he was at it. “I’m sorry, Tracey. I shouldn’t have said that.”He knew she was not like that. He must have misunderstood the situation earlier and regretted it immediately after he said those
Surprised, Arthur recalled what happened earlier. “Then, what happened earlier…”“I called you earlier deliberately to provoke you. It was only Henry and I there, but Howard happened to be having a meeting at the hotel, too. When he found out we were there, he came over to greet us. Soon after that, you arrived.”Realization dawned on Arthur. So that was what happened.He thought Tracey had already gotten together with Henry.Arthur suddenly thought of something and asked, “What about the photo then?”Tracey was confused. “What photo?”Arthur took out his phone, pulled up her social media, and displayed the photo she posted earlier.“This one!”Tracey took a look. It was the photo of her kissing Henry. She suddenly felt a little guilty. “I-I only did that to provoke you. I wanted to see how you would react to seeing me being so intimate with Henry.”Arthur held his forehead and looked at her sternly. “Tracey, do you know how angry I was when I saw this photo?!”He had indeed
It was hard for Tracey to fall asleep, and she only managed to do so just before dawn. By the time she woke up, it was almost noon.She hurriedly got up, running downstairs without even putting slippers on.Then, she heard the sound of someone cutting vegetables in the kitchen.Tracey walked over for a look and found Arthur cutting carrots, wearing a black shirt and her pink lace apron.She was stunned for a moment, joy lighting up her face.“You’re awake.”At the sound of movement, Arthur turned to look at Tracey. When he saw she was not wearing slippers, he immediately frowned. “Why aren’t you wearing your slippers?”Tracey felt a little embarrassed as she looked at her bare feet. “I forgot.”Arthur put down the knife and wiped his hands before walking towards her.“I’ll go—”Tracey was about to say she would go back to her room to put her slippers on but was cut off when Arthur picked her up in a princess carry.She blushed and touched Arthur’s face. It felt very real.
When Blair heard what Arthur said, Blair looked up and gazed coldly at Arthur.“What did you just say, Arthur?”Arthur did not raise his head and repeated himself. “Master Blair, I’m in love with Miss Tracey.”“But I remember you saying you already had someone you loved.”Although Tracey and Blair were only half-siblings, they had a good relationship since childhood, and Tracey talked to Blair about pretty much everything.The moment she fell for Arthur, she had told Blair about it.Later on, when Tracey was rejected after confessing her feelings, and Blair found out about it, he asked Arthur about the reason for it. Arthur said he liked someone else.Arthur said, “I’m sorry. I lied to you and Tracey.”That girl he met overseas and liked had not existed at all. It had been an excuse he made up to reject Tracey.Blair looked at Arthur with slightly raised eyebrows. He asked, “Since you like her, why did you reject her time and time again?”Arthur was silent for a moment. “…I f
It was just that…Blair recalled what had happened in the past two days, and an uneasy air overtook him.Right then, Solomon called.Blair stared at the ringing phone for half a beat before gathering the courage to pick up.“Hey.”Solomon’s voice came from the phone. “Where are you, Master Blair?”Blair replied, “At work.”“I’ve just gotten off the plane. Wait for me there. I’ll arrive in around twenty minutes.”The situation was too complicated, and Solomon had to speak to Blair face to face.“Alright.”Blair hung up, his gaze once again returning to the photo of Mable.Twenty minutes later.The moment Solomon got to the company, he headed straight for Blair’s office, not forgetting to instruct Amos to watch the door and not let anyone disturb him and Master Blair.“Master Blair, the matter you asked me to look into has yielded results.”Solomon was holding a brown document folder with a serious expression as he looked at Blair.After getting off the call with Blair tha
Solomon was smart. When he received Blair’s call that day, he already noticed something was wrong.Once he found out Mable had been kidnapped by Aust back then, he had a bad feeling in his heart.Following that, when he found out Mable had been brought to Aust’s camp and that she escaped after two days…Coupled with the time she escaped coincided with the time Master Blair had been captured…What Mable and Master Blair went through six years ago…As well as Spike’s age and how he looked so much like Master Blair…All of the dots started to connect.Solomon guessed that Master Blair must have noticed the connection between Mable and Liv, which was why he called him that day to get him to investigate it immediately. Even so, Solomon did not dare believe his own guess.How could such a coincidence be possible?!As Blair looked at the document in his hand, his dark eyes were like windows to the abyss, bottomless.It was an outcome he had already anticipated.Blair closed the d
