"A party?" Mable raised an eyebrow as she looked at Blair. She realized that she had never attended events with Blair as his wife.Blair nodded. "Yes, it's a social event for the Elite circle. You should know most of the people there.""I’m not interested. You can go by yourself," Mable replied. She did not enjoy such occasions and still had not completely forgotten what had happened.She did not want to show affection for him in public.Blair understood her reluctance and did not force her. "Understood, get some rest. Good night."Mable did not say anything and went into the bathroom. Blair had already left the bedroom when she came out.Mable lay on the bed and tossed from left to right. This was the first time she had felt that the bed was too spacious and lacked warmth.The Royalty Hotel.The magnificent hall hosted a grand banquet with elegantly dressed guests enjoying fine wines and delicacies.The Elite circle hosted one or two such gatherings yearly, essentially for th
"Master Blair, please wait for me." Lesley hurried to the elevator, but the doors closed before she could reach it. She gritted her teeth and decided to run downstairs. She finally spotted Blair getting ready to board his car."Master Blair!" Lesley rushed up to him. Amos noticed Lesley and quickly stepped in her path, blocking her way. "Miss Lesley, show some restraint!"Lesley tripped and fell to the ground and exclaimed in pain, “Owh! Why did you push me, Amos?” Her arm was poorly scraped and began to bleed.A nearby hotel worker saw and helped Lesley up. “Are you alright, Miss?”Lesley pleaded with teary eyes, "Master Blair, your men pushed me down, and I got hurt. Can you please take me to the hospital?"Amos was taken aback. "Miss Lesley, didn't you just fall on your own? I didn't touch you at all!"Lesley cried innocently, “Amos, why would a girl like me fall in public on purpose if it wasn’t because of you?”Amos stood by the car, feeling annoyed. He could not believ
At the Royal View Villa, Mable sat on the living room couch, scrolling through a WhatsApp group chat filled with gossip while snacking on fruit.Tracey had created this group chat, consisting of socialites from the Elite circle. While they occasionally discussed gossip, fashion, and trends, it was not a particularly active group. Mable had never participated before and had not even updated her profile.The group was so lively tonight that she checked it out and saw what they discussed. To her surprise, they were discussing the events of the evening, and someone had even posted a picture of Lesley kneeling at the hotel entrance."Lesley is asking for trouble. She dared to pester Master Blair, and now she's getting what she deserves.""But seriously, Master Blair can control himself. This beauty threw herself at him, but he remained unmoved. Not only that, but he also gave her a good lesson.""People might think they have a chance with him, but they are far inferior to Mable."
This face was too handsome!Blair held Mable's hand and kissed her palm. "Without you by my side on such occasions, people might think we're having marital issues."Mable furrowed her brows. "So, you're blaming me."Blair quickly responded, "No, it's all my fault."Mable snorted, somewhat spoiled, and ordered, "Carry me to our room.""Of course, my lady." For Blair, this was a pleasant task.Blair carried Mable to their room. "Mabes, can I sleep in the master room tonight?"Mable glanced at him and covered herself in a blanket without a word.Blair grinned slightly and went to take a shower. Once he was done and dried his hair, he lay beside Mable.He attempted to embrace her, but he noticed Mable's back stiffening as if she felt uncomfortable.Blair sighed inwardly and gently ran his fingers through Mable's hair. "I'll sleep in the adjacent room then. Goodnight, Mabes."Mable bit her lip, wanting to call him back, but no words came out. She could not find the right words to
He knew how worried Mable had been when Zoe went missing and how heartbroken she was when she heard of Zoe's death. However, Blair had kept the fact that Zoe was still alive from her all this time.He professed his love for her, yet he concealed this secret from her."What am I to you, Blair?" Mable felt like a fool!Blair held Mable's hand, desperately wanting to explain. "Mabes, please, let me explain—"Mable forcefully pulled her hand away from Blair's grip, her body trembling angrily. "I don't want to hear it!"Mable had no patience for his explanations right now. She just wanted to see Zoe as soon as possible and deal with that scumbag, Kyle!"Mabes!"Blair rushed forward and grabbed Mable's arm. "Calm down. Zoe's situation is complicated. You should—"Mable pushed Blair away, her eyes red with anger. "Blair, if you dare to stop me, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and divorce you!"Blair froze for a moment, then let go of Mable's hand. He knew she meant it.
“Mable!" Blair was startled and quickly rushed forward to hold Mable's hand. Her hand was injured, and she could not withstand such a forceful slap."Sir!" Seeing her Master being slapped, Aunt Laura was taken aback but did not dare to intervene.Kyle took the slap head-on without any attempt to dodge or defend himself.Without feeling any relief from her actions, Mable asked, "Kyle, where's Zoe?""Upstairs in her room, still asleep," Kyle replied.Mable wanted to go upstairs, but Kyle stopped her. "What do you want, Mable?""What do I want? Zoe lost her memory and doesn't remember the things you did to her in the past. But I remember! I won't stand by and let you hurt her again!" Mable was resolute."Zoe is safe with me now; no one will harm her, and I won't either," Kyle said."Stop talking nonsense!" Mable glared at Kyle. “How dare you say that? You hurt Zoe the most!"Kyle's eyebrows furrowed as his expression turned cold. "Mable, this is between Zoe and me. It has nothing
After examining Zoe's pulse, Mable checked the wound on Zoe's head. The wound had already healed after a long time, leaving only a thin surgical scar.Zoe's condition was not severe, but she was weak. The recent headache was a result of her previous head injury. Mable regretted her earlier impulsiveness; she should not have brought up the past without fully understanding Zoe's condition, which had caused her sudden headache and fainting.Inadvertently, Mable's gaze fell on Zoe's neck.Zoe was still wearing her pajamas with the collar open, and her fair neck and collarbone were covered in kiss marks. Mable could easily deduce what had happened.She clenched her fists, her eyes shooting icy daggers at Kyle, wishing she could tear him apart. How shameless of Kyle to take advantage of Zoe's memory loss!Kyle covered Zoe with a blanket to keep her warm, ignoring Mable's hostile gaze. He calmly asked, "How is Zoe now?""She's stable for the moment," Mable replied.Mable then turned
Zoe herself spoke these words to Mable. Mable still remembered the time when she woke up with severe injuries in the ancient castle and saw Zoe had cut her hair short.She asked for the reason, and Zoe had first remained silent before speaking to her about many things—from Zoe's love for Kyle to her deep hatred for him."Mable, what should I do? I was optimistic and cheerful, but now I can't find any joy. Kyle has made me feel like I'll never be happy again."Mable recalled the tears in Zoe's eyes as she uttered these words, and her heart ached."Kyle, do you know how much Zoe loved you? After being deceived and abandoned by you, she started to hate you just as much. She even considered having me use the Fuxi Nine Needles Technique to seal all her memories of you."Mable wished she could do that to help Zoe forget about Kyle and her pain if it were not for the significant side effects. Kyle listened to Mable's words with a calm expression. He knew Zoe held a deep grudge against
