However, to his surprise, there was not just one photo but two...When he saw the picture of Tracey, tied up and covered in blood, his expression changed instantly.They kidnapped Tracey!“Arthur!” Blair clenched his phone tightly, unable to contain his anger.At that moment, his phone rang.Blair looked at the number displayed on the phone screen and narrowed his eyes dangerously.“Hello?” He answered the call.The person on the other end remained silent for two seconds and then chuckled. “Hello, Blair.”“James! Where are my son and sister?!”James clicked his tongue. “Blair, I’m your uncle. Isn’t it somewhat impolite to raise your voice at me like this?”“There’s no need to be polite to someone like you!”James said, “Forget it. You were still young when I was ‘killed’ by your father, so you don’t remember me much. How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner tonight. Let’s have a nice uncle-to-nephew talk.”“Where?”“Arkhill Port, 8 PM. I’ll be waiting.”After a pause, he
Mable’s eardrums almost burst from Rory’s voice. She quickly moved the phone away.“You’ve spent so many years learning medicine under your master. Did those skills get eaten by a dog? Hah! Your master would be rolling in his grave if he knew how stupid you are. In fact, he’d crawl right out of his grave and come back to beat you up!”Mable rubbed her temples. “Do you think I’m joking, Rory?“I have confidence in my medical skills and have checked my own condition. Ever since I got poisoned, my pulse has been a mess. I’ve also read all my medical reports. It’s true that my condition now doesn’t look good. My body is already showing signs of organ failure. Just a few days ago, I didn’t even have the energy to stand...”Mable told Rory the details about her condition.At her words, Rory was silent for a while before asking, “How many days ago were you poisoned?”Rory’s voice was grim. It seemed he was finally taking this seriously.Mable answered, “Today is the fifth day.“Maybe
Mable sighed as she looked at her phone.Italee. The Saint Ellis Hotel.Rory frustratedly hung up the video call and tossed his phone onto the table. He wished he could strangle that woman!He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Rory furrowed his brows and thought, ‘It seemed like no ordinary poison could cause organ failure.’When he confidently assured Mable that she would not die, he was trying to comfort her. The Necro Poison was too mysterious and sophisticated. Even studying poisons for so many years, he had not wholly unraveled its secrets.Rory lost in thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and made a call.The call went through. "Mr. Rory, what can I do for you?" Jeremiah’s voice came on the other end of the line."Mr. Jeremiah, if you don't act quickly, she's in danger," Rory said.Jeremiah's tone became stern and asked, "What happened?""She poisoned," Rory replied."Poisoned?""If you don't hurry, you might not see her again.""I understand. Than
As the tape was torn off her mouth, Tracey shouted at Arthur, "Arthur, why did you betray my brother? Why did you do this to me?"The blonde man chuckled and beckoned to Arthur, who walked over to him."Miss Tracey, let me formally introduce him to you. His name is Shiro, Stephen’s most prized subordinate."The blonde man finished speaking and looked at Arthur with admiration. "Shiro, you haven't disappointed me.""Arthur, tell me everything he said is not true!" Tracey shouted.Arthur faced Tracey with an emotionless expression and spoke coldly, "My purpose was to gain Blair's trust. Initially, I didn't intend to get close to you. You repeatedly pestered me, so I decided to be with you. This indeed increased Blair's trust in me."Tracey could not believe what she heard, and her strength seemed to drain from her body. She fell to the ground, trembling.Although she had already learned about Arthur's identity from the driver earlier, hearing him admit it in person was still a sig
Arthur slowly raised his hand, despair filling Tracey’s heart.Outside the warehouse. The blonde man had just stepped into his car when two gunshots rang out from the warehouse.The blonde man took out his phone, opened the surveillance inside the warehouse, and saw Blair's sister and son lying in a pool of blood.The man chuckled, took a screenshot, and sent it to Stephen. "Head to the port," he instructed the driver.At the Arkhill Port.The night had cast a mysterious, gloomy light over the entire sea surface, seemingly calm and peaceful. Beneath the sea's surface, currents were swirling.Three Bentley cars slowly drove into the port and eventually stopped at the dock.A luxurious cruise ship was docked at the shore not far away.The blonde man, who had just boarded the ship, looked at the three cars approaching and smiled faintly.He turned and walked into the cabin, where James was playing chess. "Master Stephen, Blair has arrived." James, eagerly waiting for this momen
Upon hearing this, James' expression changed slightly.He had also considered the possibility of Marissa exposing his identity, so after rescuing her, he had made sure to have her stay elsewhere for a while. However, James had not expected Blair to implant a tracker in her body."So, it seems like you intentionally let me rescue Marissa," James said.Blair nodded.James smiled. "I was careless, but I believe I have the upper hand in this contest, don't I?"Blair's face remained cold as he asked, "Where is Tracey and my son?""Don't rush. As I said, tonight is a family dinner, and we can talk while we eat."James raised his hand, and soon, his men brought out a long table with dishes and red wine."Please, have a seat."Knowing James was trying to buy time, Blair sat across from him."I almost forgot; we have another important guest."James looked at his assistant and said, "Go, bring my dear brother out.""Yes."Soon, a man in a wheelchair was wheeled out of the cabin. It
Blair despised his cruel and heartless father, cursing the heavens for not having any compassion for his brother, and hated himself more that he could not protect his family.He clenched his fists tightly, and his gaze was icy as he stared at Luke.He despised himself for having such a ruthless father. He deserved to die!James looked at Luke. "Big brother, have you ever dreamt of them in all these years? I often do. When you plot my fall into the sea, I didn't die. The North European Luthers rescued me. At that time, I thought, since fate had spared me from death, I couldn't squander its kindness. I had to do something."I acknowledged your illegitimate son, Anthony, as my adopted son and raised him well. I made him and Blair kill each other. I started my plan six years ago. Initially, I wanted to gain control over Blair, but I failed. So, I changed my strategy and patiently waited for the right moment. I waited until you brought Anthony back home. Everything went according to my
James snatched Blair's phone and found a picture of a woman. "Who is this?"James's assistant, standing nearby, saw the photo on the phone and furrowed his brows. "Master Stephen, this is Blair's sister."Blair looked at James and nodded. "That's right, she's my sister, Tracey."Before James could comprehend the meaning behind Blair's previous words, he heard him speak again. "She's also your daughter, Jocelyn’s daughter."James's pupils dilated, and his face turned ashen. "What did you say?"Upon hearing Blair's words, even Luke, unable to move in his wheelchair, had a pale expression.Blair started, "Back in the day, Aunt Jocelyn didn't die. Grandpa arrived just in time and saved her. However, when she was giving birth to Tracey, she suffered severe bleeding and complications, leading to her death. Grandpa was concerned that if Luke found out about Tracey's identity, he would try to eliminate her. So, he devised a plan to have her enter the Fowlers as Luke's illegitimate child.
