How did he get involved with Stephen?“Are you... working for Stephen?” Anthony asked.Wilbur glanced at him disdainfully. “No!”He worked for no one!His relationship with Stephen was just a cooperation. They each took what they needed.Robert said politely, “In any case, thank you for saving our boss, Mr. Wilbur.”Wilbur said indifferently, “I owed Stephen a favor, so now we’re even.”In fact, it was Stephen who owed him now.Wilbur walked over to the bed, looked at Anthony’s complexion, and took his pulse.Then, he said with a cold tone, “You’re fine now. You just need to rest for a few days.”“Will there be any aftereffects?” Robert asked.After all, the bullet was so close to the heart...Wilbur looked at Robert arrogantly and narrowed his eyes. “Are you questioning my medical skills?”To him, this was just a minor injury. He could perform surgery to save someone’s life with his eyes closed.Robert stiffened and quickly said, “Of course not.”Wilbur snorted coldly a
Marissa saw Robert raise his gun and paled with fright, stammering, “Don’t! Anthony, I belong to Stephen. You… You can’t kill me!”At that moment, Marissa finally realized how foolish she was.Why did she have to provoke Anthony without Stephen by her side? Anthony could kill her with a wave of his hand.She underestimated Anthony.Marissa stumbled back in panic, hitting a chair with her calf and falling to the ground with a thump. She cried and begged, “Anthony, don’t... Don’t kill me...”Robert looked at Marissa, his eyes full of annoyance. For the first time, he felt that Stephen’s taste in women sucked. How could such a lousy woman gain his favor?“Heh.”Anthony chuckled lightly. Marissa truly was far inferior to Mable.“Boss.” Robert looked at Marissa, silently asking if he should really take action.Anthony lay on the bed, his expression indifferent as he said, “Marissa, your life lies in my hands now.”Marissa swallowed, not daring to make any reckless moves.Anthony
Robert panicked and instinctively pulled out his gun to aim at Blair.The next second, a gunshot rang out.A bullet lodged itself between Robert’s eyes.Robert widened his eyes. Even as he died, he did not understand how Blair appeared there.“Ah!” Marissa screamed and crouched down, terrified.The sudden change happened too fast. No one expected there to be a sniper on the cruise.Anthony’s bodyguards reacted quickly and rushed forward to surround Anthony and Marissa. However, just as they pointed their guns at Blair, numerous gunshots rang out, interweaving with each other.The snipers hiding in the dark did not need much effort to quickly deal with Anthony’s twenty or so subordinates.Anthony sat in the wheelchair, his face unchanged from the moment he saw Blair until all his men were killed.He was unexpectedly calm.“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Marissa cowered behind Anthony’s wheelchair, trembling with fear.Solomon and Kyle walked out from the shadows.“Everyone h
Anthony knew Blair would not kill him.Thus, even though all his bodyguards were killed, he could still sit calmly in the wheelchair and watch with a steady expression.Blair would not kill him or dare to let him die.That was because he was the only one who knew how to cure the poison in Mable’s body.Anthony grinned at Blair’s question.At that moment, he was more confident Blair would not kill him.He smiled and said, “It’s the Necro Poison, a poison that makes people wish for death!”This kind of poison was extracted from the venomous insects in South Jumonte, and the Necro Poison was the most potent.Back then, Aust injected this poison into over a dozen people, but no one survived. It was said that Mable was the only survivor.Moreover, the Necro Poison inside Mable’s body was different from other poisons.In addition to the poison, the insect that was the source of the poison itself was also in her body!Solomon looked at Blair. Seeing his low gaze and the ominous aur
“Stephen, Anthony and Marissa were caught by Blair.”Stephen’s hand holding a chess piece paused, and he turned to look at the middle-aged men. “What about the people sent to meet him?”The man lowered his head. “They were all killed by Blair.”“Useless!”Stephen picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. “What a ruthless man the Fowler family has given birth to!”“What should we do now?”Stephen said, “Send some people to check the situation and find an opportunity to rescue them.”“Blair seems serious this time. Saving them might be...”Stephen paused, then put the chess piece back into the chess box. “If we can’t rescue them... Well, Anthony knows too much. Keeping him alive might be disadvantageous to me.”“I understand.”The man nodded and handed him a newspaper. “Luke Fowler has escaped from the mental asylum.”Stephen looked at the wanted warrant in the newspaper and sneered. “Send people to Richworth. We must find him
In the operating room on the cruise.Amos followed behind Blair and said, “He died of sudden cardiac arrest. The doctor did his best to resuscitate him, but it was unsuccessful.”Blair looked at Anthony on the operating table, his gaze cold.“Throw him into the sea and feed him to the sharks!”Then, he turned and left.Anthony should have died long ago!The only reason Blair spared his life was because he wanted to use Anthony to lure out the mysterious person behind him.Now, it seemed the hopes were placed on Marissa....One day later, in an underground operating room somewhere.Wilbur looked at the man he had just rescued from the sea. He took off his gloves, leaned against the wall, and lit a cigarette. A hint of eerie coldness appeared in his eyes.He had just saved the man, but then someone wanted him dead again. Did anyone ask what Wilbur felt about this?Damn it.It would ruin his reputation if the man died not two days after he saved him!Wilbur flicked the ciga
Even though Mable did not want to see him, he could not just disappear like that. How would Mable forgive him if he did not take the initiative to apologize and make amends?With those thoughts, Tracey planned to call Blair at night and have a good talk with him.Unexpectedly, she saw Arthur just as she returned home at night.Tracey excitedly ran over and hugged him. “Arthur, when did you come back?”It had been a week, and she missed him dearly.“We just arrived. I was about to send you a message.” Arthur stroked her hair, feeling at ease now that he saw her.When Mable led the two children out of the car, Arthur nodded at her in greeting.Tracey quickly asked, “Arthur, did Blair come back too? Where is he?”They left together, so they should be back together, too.Arthur said, “Master Blair is in the hospital.”Mable’s footsteps froze as a hint of shock passed in her eyes.Tracey’s expression immediately changed, and she asked anxiously, “The hospital? What happened to hi
Blair took out an aromatherapy lamp from the drawer, dropped essential oil into it, and plugged it by the bedside.When he had insomnia in the past, Mable bought lavender essential oil and an aromatherapy lamp that aided sleep.Blair looked at Mable and knew that she was not asleep.She was just pretending to be asleep because she did not want to see him...He walked to the bed and stared at her, his dark eyes filled with endless tenderness.He bent down to tuck her in and whispered, “Good night, Mabes.”Then, he left the bedroom.After a while, Mable opened her eyes and looked at the tightly closed bedroom door. Her nose stung, and her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.The scented candles on the bedside emitted a warm light, but Mable felt a bone-piercing coldness in her body....It was already very late when Kyle returned to the villa.He did not tell Zoe that he would be back today. He was too busy these days and barely replied to her messages. They only had one video
“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
