Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit novel Chapter 16

There were six centuries-old families in Croquen, divided between the north and the south.

The Fowlers, the Morses, and the Walkers controlled Richworth in the north, of which the Fowlers were the most powerful.

Meanwhile, the Maxwells, the Jeffersons, and the Snyders dominated Ashdale in the south.

Nonetheless, after the Maxwells emigrated overseas 20 years ago for unforeseen reasons, the Snyders gradually declined due to internal strife in the earlier years.

Therefore, at this moment, the most prestigious and influential family in Ashdale was the Jeffersons.

Old Mrs. Snyder and Mable’s grandma were best friends. The former even saved the latter when she was young.

Grandma Maura cherished the relationship and supported the Snyders all these years. She even intended to make the two families in-laws.

Hence, as soon as Mable came of age, she was called back to get engaged to Dane.

The engagement party five years ago was extremely high-profile and lavish under the Snyders’ urge.

Their stocks grew by five points the next day.

After that, the Snyders developed and became successful in the business world.

The Jefferson Residence.

Mable parked her car across the road from the back entrance and went in alone over the wall.

What surprised her was that all the bodyguards at the Jefferson Residence had been replaced, and security was much stricter than before.

She went to the small detached building where her grandpa lived and looked around but found no trace of him.

‘Grandpa had a stroke, but instead of recuperating at home, was he sent to a nursing home by Uncle Frank?’

Since Mable could not find her grandpa, she was not going to stay any longer.

However, as she went downstairs, she accidentally alerted a bodyguard.

Soon, the Jefferson Residence’s alarm went off.

More and more bodyguards ran over. Mable hurriedly ran up to the third floor and bumped into a beautiful lady dressed in thin clothes.

She rushed forward, knocking the lady out before running into the guest room, preparing to jump off the balcony.

Who knew that a fierce wind would come at her as soon as she entered.

‘Someone is in the room!’

Mable closed the door behind her. When she turned around, she saw Blair appear in front of her.

‘Why is he here?’

Blair did not expect the person who came in to be Mable. He fiercely withdrew his palm and avoided hurting her by mistake.

“Mable?”

‘Why is she in the Jefferson Residence? How did she alert so many guards?’

Hurried footsteps were heard coming from outside. Mable could not explain in time, so she dodged and hid in the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, there was a knock on the guest room door.

Mable held the door handle and listened closely to the movements outside.
