Blair was not interested, either. So, when he heard Mable’s words, he held her hand and prepared to leave.“Wait, wait, wait! Don’t go!”The lady stepped in front of them to stop them, staring at them with her round, dark eyes.The next moment, she seemed to see something invisible and shook violently.“What...” She instinctively took a step back, clenching her fists.Mable said, “Thank you for the offer, but we really don’t need fortune-telling.”“Wait!”When they were about to leave, the lady ran up to block their way again.Blair frowned. “Move aside.”The lady ignored him and rubbed her eyes, making sure her eyes were not mistaken.“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”She cupped her chin and glanced at their intertwined fingers, saying mysteriously, “You’re newlyweds, right? You’re quite well-matched. Unfortunately, there’s a calamity in your fate, making it difficult for your relationship to last.”Mable froze, her expression changing slightly.Blair’s expression also shifted, and he nar
In Richworth.After Mable and Blair returned to Richworth, she began to prepare to treat Spike’s throat.During this period, she had been persistently doing hand rehabilitation exercises, so the stability of her fingers holding needles had improved significantly. She could perform acupuncture on Spike now.In addition to acupuncture, some Western medicine approaches were also needed to treat Spike’s throat.With the treatment plan in place, Mable became busy.Blair also became busy after returning from Fasier.After finishing work that evening, Blair told Mable he needed to go to Monafett.“Is it about Black C?” Mable asked him at the dining table.Blair served her some soup and said, “Don’t worry. The matters regarding Black C are under control. I’m going to Monafett for more important business related to X.”For some reason, Mable felt slightly worried when she heard he had to go to Monafett. “I’ll go with you.”Blair patted her hand and comforted her. “You have to treat Sp
After going home, Mable began the acupuncture treatment for Spike.Nicki stood in the corridor outside the bedroom. While worried about him, she did not dare to disturb Mable in treating him.Thus, she waited outside the door for them.After Mable finished the acupuncture treatment and came out with the medical kit, she saw Nicki standing nervously at the door.As soon as she saw Mable, Nicki ran up and looked up at her. “Auntie Mable, how is he? Can he talk now?”“Spike still can’t talk. The treatment will have to continue for about a month before we see the results.”Nicki’s eyes were somewhat disappointed, but they quickly filled with hope again. “As long as he persists, he’ll surely recover.”Mable nodded with a smile.“Can I go in and see him?”“Go ahead.”The two children were as close as real siblings now, which was something Mable was pleased to see.At night, Mable showered and had a video call with Blair.It was morning in Monafett, so he was having breakfast.“I
With a ‘bang!’, the door was forcefully pushed open by Mable.When she saw the situation inside, her expression instantly changed.Spike was gone!It was not just Spike. Even the doctor and nurse who were in the examination room just now were also missing.Mable realized that Spike had been kidnapped and immediately called Hugh, instructing him to lock down the hospital.After making the call, she went to the hospital surveillance room to check the cameras. However, it was evident that the other party was well prepared, leaving no traces.The kidnapper was likely experienced and feared any tracking devices, as they removed the electronic watch from Spike’s wrist during the abduction.Thus, Mable was unable to use GPS to locate him.Just as she was about to call the police, her phone rang.It was an unknown overseas number.Mable immediately answered it. “Hello?”“Mable, do you remember me?”Mable’s expression changed upon hearing that voice. “Marissa!”How could it be her?
If Marissa wanted Jefferson Enterprise, Mable would give it to her with both hands.“If you don’t want me to go with you, then at least call Master Blair. He’s at Monafett and can...”Mable interrupted Hugh’s words. “No, we can’t tell Blair!”She knew him too well. If he found out about this, he would never allow her to meet Marissa alone.Her hands turned cold when she remembered Marissa’s last words.She could not risk Spike’s life.Soon, the transfer contract was drafted by the company. Mable took the contract and went to the airport.She did not let Hugh accompany her and only took four bodyguards.At 5 PM local time, Mable’s flight arrived at the capital airport of Monafett.As soon as she got off the plane, she called Hugh to inquire about any news of Spike.“Boss, everyone has been dispatched, but there’s still no news so far.”Mable said, “Expand the search area.”“Yes.”Hugh responded, then hesitated, “Boss...”“Get to the point!” Mable was agitated and had no pa
In a private villa in Monafett.Marissa lay flat on the bed, receiving a spa beauty treatment and enjoying top-notch service.Two hours later, after finishing the beauty treatment, she walked out of the room and looked at Charlie standing outside. “How’s the little thing doing?”Charlie said, “I just talked to them an hour ago. Richworth has been completely locked down. The escape routes they prepared beforehand have all been blocked, so they can only hide with Mable’s son in the nearby city. They’ll have to find another suitable opportunity to leave the country.”Marissa took the red wine brought by a servant and leisurely took a sip, saying casually, “Tell them to be careful. They won’t get a single penny if their whereabouts are exposed.”“Yes.”“What time is it now?” she asked.“7:20 PM.”Marissa smiled. There were less than ten hours left before the 24 hours she had given.She finished the wine in the glass and asked, “Has Anthony returned?”Charlie said, “No.”Marissa
Marissa and her father had clearly escaped overseas, but they were eventually found by his people.When she thought of her father’s tragic death, her eyes were filled with hatred. “Blair, I want to kill you!”Blair said calmly, “I’m in Monafett. If you want to kill me, you’re welcome to anytime.”Marissa chuckled sinisterly. “Before I kill you, I’ll let you experience the pain of losing a loved one!”“Are you referring to Mable’s son?”Marissa raised her brows. “Why? Don’t you want to save him?”There were a few seconds of silence, then Blair spoke with a hint of amusement, “To be honest, I don’t really want to save him.”...At the same time, Mable struggled to wake up from her sleep. She opened her eyes and looked at the pitch-black scenery outside the window, and suddenly sat up.“Ugh!” Her head spun.Mable touched the back of her neck, remembering the sedative Blair gave her at the airport which made her fall asleep.What time was it now? Where was Spike?She hurriedly
In the study, Blair held the phone and said to Marissa coldly, “No matter what’s your motive in kidnapping Spike, it won’t succeed.”“You don’t care about the boy’s life, but Mable does. When I called her earlier, she sounded extremely worried. If she finds out that you deliberately won’t save her son, she might hate you for a lifetime!”Blair said coldly, “You’re the one who’s causing Spike’s death. If she hates anyone, it’ll be you!”On the other end of the phone, Marissa paused for a few seconds before laughing coldly. “Wow, Blair. Do you think I won’t dare to do it?”Blair turned to look at Solomon, who was sitting in front of the computer and nodded slightly.Solomon gave him an OK gesture.Blair chuckled. “Then you’d better act quickly so you can go to bed early!”After saying that, he hung up the phone.“Did you connect to Marissa’s phone?”Solomon said, “It’s being remotely controlled. As soon as she calls the kidnappers, we’ll be able to determine their current locati
