Chapter 1228

Back at the hotel, Wilbur asked when Anthony entered the room, "Where did you go?" Anthony replied casually, "I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?" Wilbur searched for his phone for a while before finally finding it under a sofa cushion. After checking the message, he dispelled his doubts. "If there’s nothing else, I'll return to my room." As Anthony turned to leave, sarcastic smile appeared on his face. … Italee, in a private villa. It was midnight and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Rory was wearing a coat, sitting on the living room sofa and holding his phone. His face was unusually dark. Adam walked in, looking puzzled. "Rory, you called me." Rory tossed his phone onto the table, and his face turned cold. "I just received an interesting call." Adam furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of foreboding. "What happened in the middle of the night to make you look like this?" Rory stood up and said, "Make arrangements. I'm going to Richworth." Adam asked, "Is something wrong with Mable?" Rory shook his head. "It's not her, it's Zoe." That crafty fellow, Wilbur, dared to collude with Blair, Mable, and the others to deceive him! He wanted to see who would have the last laugh in this game. Seeing Rory's expression, Adam knew something serious had happened. "What happened to Zoe?" Rory did not have the patience to explain further and said coldly, "Just make the arrangements; no need for more questions." Adam accepted his orders and prepared to leave and make the necessary arrangements. However, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, saying, "Are you leaving tomorrow? Weren't you and Jeremiah supposed to discuss something the day after tomorrow? What about that?" Rory interrupted, "Postpone the meeting. Tell him I have urgent matters." Adam hesitated. "But this is a critical moment, and delaying it—" "Why do you talk so much?" Rory was already impatient. Adam dared not say more and acknowledged before leaving the bedroom. Rory walked to the balcony, gazing at the night with a determined look. … Richworth, at Royal View Villa. After the kidnapping incident, Spike and Nicki rested at home for a day instead of going to school. The following day, Mable and Blair accompanied them to school. After dropping off the two children, Mable returned home, and Blair went to the company. As Mable arrived home, the housekeeper, Aunt Grace, hurriedly approached her. "Madam, there's a visitor." "Who?" "A young lady with the last name of Landon.'" ‘Landon?’ Mable thought for a moment. She only knew one person with the last name of Landon—Eugenie Landon. Entering the living room, Mable confirmed her speculation when she saw the person sitting on the sofa. Eugenie stood up with a friendly smile when she saw Mable. "Mrs. Fowler." Mable politely nodded and asked, "Are you here to see Blair? He's at the company." Eugenie shook her head quickly. "No, no, I'm not here to see Master Blair. I'm here to see you." "Me?" "Yes." Eugenie walked up to Mable and shook her hand familiarly, explaining, "Please don't misunderstand what happened yesterday. Master Blair and I have a business collaboration, and we were discussing that matter yesterday."
