Sable stared at the man in front of him, who raised his chin and blushed.

The light was dim, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

“I’m giving you only one chance!” Sable’s voice was cold.

James, eyes bloodshot, grabbed Sable’s wrist, shaking his head. “N–no, it’s not me.”

Sable’s lips tightened to a straight line with anger, then he flung the man against the wall.

James fell to his knees in pain, coughing violently.

He watched the man’s tall figure walk away, feeling heartache he couldn’t shake.

Seeing Sable sitting on the couch, gulping wine down, James stumbled to him, leaning against the wall. “It really wasn’t me,

Sable”

Sable clearly didn’t trust him. This is the last time, understand

James, believing that Sable had just tried to kill him, forced a bitter smile. “If I had done it, would you kill me to avenge that

woman??

Sable didn’t answer directly but coldly said, ‘Don’t mess with my plans.

James, feeling unwilling but not daring to question further, replied, “Yes”

Sable raised his eyes. “Where is the assailant?”

“He’s already been taken to the underground lab. James said.

Sable abruptly stood up, walking out of the guest room quickly.

James pursed his lips and hurried to follow

James drove Sable to a villa on the outskirts. They walked into the basement and found the man cowering in a corner.

Two subordinates greeted, “Boss.”

Sable nodded slightly, then walked to the operating table and put on gloves calmly, saying, “Tie him to the table.”

“Yes.” The subordinates bound the man to the table. The man’s eyes widened in fear. “Who are you? What do you want? I’ll go to the police! I’ll

When he saw Sable standing by the table with a surgical knife, his pupils dilated. “I didn’t want to harm you; I wanted to harm that woman!

Sable looked at him coldly. “She’s to be harmed by me only. You have no right”

With those words, he cut off die man’s ear,

Blood splattered on Sable’s white sweater, making it glaringly red.

James, standing nearby, knew that Sable’s words were a warning to him.

‘Someone found me, gave me money. I’m just here to handle things for cash! Please don’t kill me The man grimaced in pain.

“Who hired you?” Sable–asked, then cut off the man’s other ear.

The man howled in agony, almost fainting from the pain. “I don’t know, he’s a foreigner!”

Sable narrowed his eyes, getting a feeling about it.

From there, he remained silent and proceeded to cut pieces of flesh from the man.

As blood flowed like a river on the operating table and the man stopped breathing, a pool of viscous crimson blood gathered at Sable’s feet. He then tossed the surgical knife into the tray

After washing away the bloody smell in the bathroom and changing his clothes, Sable walked out, glaring at James. “Ensure the body are handled cleanly.

James lowered his gaze. “Yes”

Sable left and returned to the hotel, reclining on the couch.

He gazed sideways at the window, where the neon–lit night sky shone brightly in various colors, yet his heart felt nothing but loneliness.

Averting his gaze, he dialed a number on his phone. ‘Grandpa‘

The other side stayed silent, as if waiting for his interrogation.

Sable closed his eyes. “Grandpa, please don’t interfere in this mater again.”

“How rebellious and disobedient you are now! How could you take a blade for that woman?” the elder said.

Sable bit his lip. “Grandpa, I’ve never resisted any of your requests before, but this time, I hope you won’t harm Stephanie anymore.”

“Is this your way of begging me?” the elder asked.

“Not to beg, but to inform you–do not touch Stephanie, Sable warned.

The elder on the other end huffed angrily, clearly irked. “How dare you rebel against me for a woman! Has she cast a spell an you? Are you no longer seeking vengeance?”

‘T’ll seek revenge, but I want Stephanie too, Sable said.

“There are plenty of women out there. Why are you so into Vincent’s woman?” the elder asked

“Stephanie is not like the others, Sable insisted.

“Sable, you’ll eventually bite the dust because of this woman!” the elder said

Sable rose and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, his gaze profound as he looked into the distance. “I will make her willingly stay by my side, and Vincent will also let her come to me.”

“Is it worth it for a woman?” the elder asked.

Sable replied, “Grandpa, I believe you must have investigated Stephanie and known that we can take advantage of her. Haven’t you always wanted to obtain the Fletcher family’s wealth Vincent has literally handed all his riches to Stephanie, and now she’s got a big slice of Fletcher Group. Talk about taking an easy road, right?”

After a long silence from the other end, a voice finally spoke slowly. “I hope you don’t forget the hatred”

Tve always remembered: After hanging up, Sable gripped his phone tightly.

Chapter 210

At this time, his phone buzzed

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Stephanie.

Is your wound still hurting? Don’t let it get wet; it may lead to an infection.]

Sable’s eyes softened, and a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he replied, (Couldn’t resist, took a shower.]

Stephanie, her lips slightly pursed, responded, Don’t shower for the rest of the week. I’ll pick you up next time you go for blood test.]

Sable replied: 1Okay.1

Who wouldn’t like a woman like her? Especially since she is deeply loved by Vincent, he thought.

Before, Sable had no clue that Vincent had this weak spot. But now that he knew, he could leverage it to his benefit.

Being able to obtain the woman he liked while causing Vincent pain seemed like a win–win situation.

Sable narrowed his eyes, his resolve growing stronger.

Little did Stephanie know, danger was about to creep up on her. As she tucked away her phone, Vincent embraced her fror behind. “You’ve been restless since coming back from the police station. I’m so jealous, Stephie

Stephanie turned around, looking up into his dark eyes. “Don’t be

You’re very kind to Sable,” he said,

Stephanie smiled helplessly, “Vincent, I’m just grateful to Sable He saved both our lives. If it weren’t for him blocking the blade this time, the one injured and infected could have been me. I care about his injuries out of gratitude, nothing more. Don’t you trust me?”

Vincent gently shook his head. “I’m sorry, I trust you. I’m just not confident in myself.”

“no confidence?” Stephanie was momentarily puzzled but quickly understood his thoughts “Vincent, after all we’ve been. through, there’s no room for anyone else in our lives. I love you, so much.”

Vincent stared at her for a moment before embracing her tightly I’m sorry”

Stephanie placed her cheek against his chest, tightly wrapping her arms around his strong waist, “I don’t want you to apologize. I just want you to believe in me, love me, and not leave me.”

He murmured. “I love you, Stephic. I will never leave you.”

He suddenly released Stephanie and lifted her, heading toward the bedroom.

Stephanie naturally knew what the man intended to do. She pured her lips. “You haven’t fully recovered yet! We can’t do

this

Vincent placed her on the bed, then leaned down to silence all the words she wanted to say with his lips

Kissing her wildly and passionately, as if only through this could he ensure that Stephanic completely belonged to him and would never leave him

Stephanie pulsed against his shoulders. “Slow down.”

Vincent, his lips still on hers, said, “Slow down? I’m afraid you won’t like that?

Stephanie was speechless.
