Luke raised his hand, signaling his men to wake up Mable. They grabbed Mable's hair and splashed water on her face."Ugh!" Mable woke up from unconsciousness. She opened her eyes to find Luke sitting nearby, staring at her with a sinister smile."Luke, you—"Luke pointed at Mable, interrupting her. "Mable, I advise you not to move recklessly. Be careful, or boom!"Mable lowered her head to see her strapped with explosives around her waist and legs. A chill ran down her spine."Luke, what are you planning?""You'll find out soon."Luke took out a small bottle from his bag. "Feed her this."One of his men took it and approached Mable.Looking at the substance in his hand, Mable had a foreboding feeling. "What is this? Ugh—" Before she could finish her sentence, Luke's henchman held Mable's chin and poured the liquid into her mouth.The stimulating liquid flowed down her throat, making Mable feel uneasy.Mable tried to vomit the liquid, but it was in vain. "Luke, what did you
Luke pointed toward Mable, not far away. "Kill her, and that's the best revenge for you!"Mable was his weak spot!Blair's eyes turned icy, "Don’t you dare!"Seeing Blair getting agitated, Luke's smile became even more pronounced. "What's wrong? Are you scared?""My good son, if you kneel and beg me, I might consider letting her go. Maybe."As soon as he finished speaking, Blair knelt straight before him. "Father, I beg you to let Mable go."Although he knew Luke did not mean it, and even if he knelt and pleaded, Luke would not easily let Mable go, Blair still did it.He was genuinely afraid! He feared that if Luke went mad, he would harm Mable.He dared not gamble with Mable's life!"Blair." Mable's eyes instantly became moist while watching Blair.Luke leaned on his cane, the smile on his face sinister. "My good son, after more than twenty years, you’ve finally kneeled before me for the first time—for a woman, too. It truly sends a chill down my spine."Luke looked at Mable
They didn't dare to make any reckless moves. The phone rang, and Amos answered immediately, "Master Blair." The next moment, a command from Blair came through the phone. "Release all of X's confidential files immediately.""Understood!" Through the surveillance, Amos already knew about Luke's condition. Hearing Master Blair's order now, he did not hesitate and immediately opened the computer. Nothing was more important than his wife's life at this critical moment."Master Blair, our people are already in position. The bomb disposal expert is analyzing the bomb model on Mrs Blair's body. Please give us more time."Blair responded with a sound and hung up the phone. He looked at Luke and said, "I've done as you said. You'll see the results soon."Mable watched Blair, her heart filled with mixed emotions. X was his years of hard work and his biggest trump card. How could he be willing to destroy it just for her? Was it worth it?Blair raised his hand, and after a while, one of hi
Luke's subordinate rushed forward, gripping Mable's chin and sealing her mouth with tape.Mable widened her eyes, staring at Blair. A hoarse roar tried to escape her throat. “No, Blair, don't! Don't listen to him!”"Mabes, don't be afraid. Close your eyes, and it'll be over soon." Blair took the dagger and looked at Mable not far away. Mable shook her head desperately as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.Luke watched them with a look of amusement. "Truly touching."He looked at Blair, slightly lifting his chin. "My good son, let's begin. I promise to keep my word this time. Once you're dead, I'll let Mable go."Blair looked at the dagger in his hand and laughed. "Aren't you afraid I'll use this dagger to kill you?"Luke raised an eyebrow. "Heh… Unless you want her to die.""Master Blair, you can act now!" At that moment, a voice came through Blair's earpiece.A glint of fierceness flashed in Blair's eyes. "Neither Mable nor I will die today!" As the words fell, B
Blair's face turned pale. “Mabes, what's happening to you?""Boss!" Hugh hurriedly ran over. His face turned terrified as he looked at Mable's condition.Blair suddenly realized what had happened and looked at the fallen Luke. "Luke, what did you do to Mabes?"Luke's hand was still pinned to the ground, a pool of blood beneath him. He looked at Blair with a triumphant posture, laughing heartily. "Blair, didn’t I say you haven't won? How could I let you win over me?!"Even if Luke had to sacrifice his life, Blair would ensure Luke suffered for a lifetime!Hugh rushed to Luke's side, grabbing his hair fiercely. "Tell me, what have you done?"Luke spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with madness. "I'll tell you. It’s poison. Twenty milliliters, enough to end her life."Blair's pupils dilated, holding Mable's icy hand against his face. His eyes filled with endless fear. "Antidote. Where's the antidote?"Hugh squeezed Luke's neck, impatient. "Hand over the antidote!""Antidot
"Master Blair, I’m truly sorry. Despite pumping her stomach and performing a series of emergency measures for your wife, the poisoning has deeply affected her. Currently, her organs are in a state of failure. You need to be mentally prepared. With her current condition, she probably..."Everyone looked at the doctor, waiting for him to complete his sentence.The doctor paused, his face filled with sorrow. "She probably has, at most, one month left to live."As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the entire hallway fell into silence.Blair stared blankly at the doctor, trying to process what he had just heard."At most... one month?"Kyle looked at Blair. At that moment, he only had one thought, ‘If Mable were to die, he would be finished!’Hugh was the first to react. He hurried forward and seized the doctor's collar. "What do you mean? What does 'at most, one month' mean? Since there's still one month, find a way to save her!"The doctor quickly responded. "Sir, please calm
After Fowler Enterprise went bankrupt and Luke was imprisoned, Blair completely eradicated his influence.When Luke escaped from the mental hospital, both the police and Blair’s men searched for him. However, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if he evaporated from the earth.Now, he suddenly reappeared and caused such a disturbance. It was clear that he was not working alone.Who sent the subordinates to him, secretly protecting him from being found?It seemed that there was someone still helping Luke from the shadows. What happened this time proved that all these threats must be eliminated!“Where’s Luke being held?” Kyle asked.“In the basement of a villa in the suburbs.”Kyle said, “I’ll head there now. Call me if anything comes up.”“Okay.”...Tracey arrived at the hospital early and cried outside the ICU for a long time when she learned about Mable’s condition.She could not accept this reality and pleaded with the doctors to do everything possible to s
Mable wanted to say something, but Blair interrupted her. “Your throat is hurt, Mabes. Rest, don’t talk.”The toxicity of the poison was too strong and burned her throat.Mable looked at Blair’s worried expression and nodded.She was too weak at the moment and could not even check her own condition. She did not know whether she could survive or not.Blair used a wet cloth to wipe her dry lips and said gently, “Don’t worry, Mabes. Spike and Nicki are doing well at home. Tracey will take good care of them. All you have to focus on is getting better. I’ll always be with you.”Mable looked at him and moved her lips.In the past, to communicate with Spike, Blair had deliberately learned how to lip-read. Thus, even though Mable did not speak, he could understand what she was saying.“I’ll stay strong,” she mouthed.“I’ll stay strong for you and the children…”Blair gripped her hand and pressed a tender kiss on the back of it, his eyes filled with love.“Thank you, Mabes...”Mable,
