This was what Ruth called “killing two birds with one stone.”

She hit jackpot with this.

Ruth smiled. Right when she wanted to log out of twitter, she heard footsteps outside.

They were coming toward her. The heels knocked loudly against the marble tiles, and the clear sounds were laced with obvious rage.

She looked up and saw a beautiful yet angry face. “Explain to me why exactly is everyone saying Rising Star gave me to you for free?”

Ruth handed her phone over with a grin. “How could you say they gave you away? Everyone’s praising you!”

Demi was stunned for a moment.

She grabbed her phone and scrolled down.

Her expression grew gentler, but she still remained displeased as she threw Ruth’s phone back to her. “You should have told me sooner. I was about to subsidize you.”

“Subsidize?” Ruth’s eyes lit up. “How much?”

Demi huffed coldly and crossed her arms before sitting down on the couch. “Now? Not a single cent.”

Ruth pouted and stood up.

She poured two cups of coff

    Abel noticed that Ruth was acting really strangely over the next few days. In a great show of consideration, she helped him fix his tie in the morning. At night, she was very attentive and brought coffee to his study. She even told him not to work overnight and rest. What was even stranger was that she did not sleep in on the weekend. When Abel woke up, he found an empty spot beside him. Once he washed up and went downstairs, he heard clanging and banging sounds from the kitchen, along with Mrs. Greenwell’s worried voice. “Madam, let me handle that!”“Madam, careful! Don’t let it burn you!”“Madam, don’t touch the knife! Put it away!”When he got closer, he saw a thin and delicate figure trying to “help” in the kitchen. But, really, she was moving around in a fluster. Ruth wore casual, light-colored clothes and a pink apron. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, but some strands still fell out of it. The sun shone through the window and illuminated her serious face. It gav

    Abel was clearly saying, “What do you think?” with his expression. Ruth pouted, but she did not feel the least bit awkward even after he saw through her. She just mulled over her words for a bit before she sat up straight and said seriously, “Yeah. I do have a few questions to ask you.”Abel cocked his eyebrows. Before she could even ask her questions, he said, “The stocks you bought all have great potential, but I suggest selling them in suitable amounts.”Ruth was stunned. “What on earth… That’s not what I was going to ask!”Abel was surprised. “Oh? I might not compare to the genius investor, but I seldom make mistakes when it comes to making analysis. Are you really not going to ask me any questions about investing?”Ruth fell silent. He was right. She had never suffered any losses when she followed his suggestions for investing. In fact, she was beginning to suspect he had persuaded her to open an account in the securities company after she got drunk the first time.

    Abel was shocked by her insanely fake act, and his eyelids twitched. After a long while, he finally said, “I think you have some sort of misunderstanding about the word, ‘gentle.’”Ruth’s smile immediately fell away. She pushed him away and stood up before leaving with a defeated expression. Even though she knew she had no talent for acting, she still felt a little sad when she heard this. It dealt a huge blow to her ego. All her hard work over the past few days was for nothing. Abel watched her leave in dejection, and his eyes shone with regret. He started reflecting on whether he had been too straightforward. When evening arrived, the sky was cloudy and dark. It looked like it was about to rain. Abel was done with his work by then. He looked at the dark clouds outside and went downstairs. It was empty downstairs. The lights were not on, which was why it was dark. The kitchen was also rather quiet. However, when Mrs. Greenwell heard him, she came out and said that dinne

    Mrs. Greenwell was stunned. “Huh?”Ruth stood up and patted her on the shoulder. “I’ll increase your salary next month!”Mrs. Greenwell was dumbfounded.She looked at Ruth, who walked away confidently and disappeared at the top of the stairs, in puzzlement.Summer rain was unpredictable. The heavy rain hit the windowsill, and its irregular rhythm was distracting.In the study, a man sat at the table with a stack of documents in front of him. The clock on the wall showed that thirty minutes had passed, but he was still on the first page of the document.Abel had descended into a strange sense of uncertainty. He knew that tomorrow was not a good time to meet his parents, but, after seeing the gifts she carefully picked, he could not bear to let her down.He had never thought that he would have difficulty making decisions one day.Knock! Knock! Knock!When Abel heard the iconic knock on the door, he instantly knew who it was.It was time for his nightly coffee.When he though

    “I’ve known about it for a long time. Your investment failed, and you’re heavily in debt, right?”Ruth leaned back on the chair and looked at him leisurely and calmly. “That’s why you married me?”Although it was a question, she sounded certain.She was not stupid. Although Caelus was sharp-tongued, his words were reasonable.Even though Abel belonged to an insignificant branch family of the Blakewell family, he was still a Blakewell. He should have married her hastily because he needed her help.Abel was initially panicked but then became puzzled.After hearing Ruth’s words, he was surprised. “My investment failed, and I’m heavily in debt? Where did you hear that?”“That’s not important. What’s important is that I don’t care about it! Logically speaking, your pre-marital debts have nothing to do with me, but since you’re so kind to me, I can help you pay them off.”Abel did not know how to respond.He was dumbstruck.So, she thought he was in debt and wanted to help him pay

    The gift arrived as Ruth requested, and she was satisfied. However, she did not expect something to happen just before departure.She received a message that Tom Acker, an internationally renowned cardiologist, had returned to Sommerset, and he was interested in learning about George’s condition. Unfortunately, he had a busy schedule and only had time today.“It’s fine. You can go and meet him,” Abel said.Ruth turned around and said apologetically, “I’ve been trying to get in contact with this doctor for a long time. Now that he finally replied, I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”“I understand how you feel. We can go next time.” Abel supported her decision without hesitation.Ruth was touched.The more considerate he was, the more guilty she felt.However, George’s condition was complicated. She had invited many specialists, but none could find a cure. She could only put all her hopes on Tom.After a few seconds of silence, she made a decisive decision. “Take all the gift

    With his special identity, Tom could enter and exit any hospital and medical institution. However, he was repeatedly blocked here.He did not need to think to know that someone had restricted people from entering and leaving the ward.A hint of surprise flashed in Ruth’s eyes. She looked at him and asked, “Are you willing to treat Grandpa, Mr. Acker?”Tom was an internationally renowned doctor. When she emailed him, she was just trying her luck.She did not receive a reply for a long time, so she planned to contact him through another method. However, he suddenly decided to come over and even proposed to make a treatment plan.Tom cocked an eyebrow and handed over a business card. “I’m interested in challenging cases, but it’s up to the patient’s family whether to transfer him to another hospital.”He was happy to do Abel a favor but could not solve the patient’s family conflicts.Based on the restrictions the Goldwell family set up, they clearly would not let Ruth transfer Geor

    Callum was caught off guard, while Ruth was surprised.She thought. “I thought he would just watch us argue and do nothing. I didn’t expect him to help me.“He has a logical way of thinking and didn’t forget to agree with me!”Callum had been deliberately ignoring Tom. He wanted to make Ruth change her mind via forceful means before apologizing to him.Tom was not a busybody, so he never bothered to meddle in other people’s family affairs.That’s why Callum never expected him to help Ruth.“You—”“I’m Tom Acker. When the patient was undergoing examinations, the medical staff were not cooperative, so Miss Ruth suggested transferring the patient to another hospital,” he explained, which was something he rarely did. When the medical staff heard this, they looked away with unnatural expressions.Callum glanced at them. He withdrew his hand and casually said, “Is that true?”Tom smiled. “Don’t you know, Mr. Goldwell?”“Of course I don’t!”“The medical staff took the liberty of

    Galen stood nervously at the side. At first, he wanted to step in and help, but he held himself back.In the end, he gave up and watched the fight.The more he watched, the more startled he was.Despite her delicate frame, her moves were calculated and ruthless.Many of her moves were lethal.She was a young woman who was loved. She was pampered and adored by everyone. How was such a person so ruthless in combat?It was as if she often fought to the death…Mr. Watson was shaken as well. He covered his neck with one hand, while his other hand hung limply by his hand. He looked at Lily in shock. His other hand hung weakly by his side. He looked at Lily in shock.How could such a small and delicate-looking person possess such strength? Was she really the heiress of the Cavendish family?“Do you want to verify it? The wounds match with the one who attacked me. I broke his right wrist on the spot, though. After that, I didn’t wait for reinforcement to come. I moved immediately an

    Her hand paused while hefting the silver fork.Ruth’s husband was really very considerate. He loved her sister truly and everyone in her family.She decided to find a boyfriend like him for herself in the future.“I definitely will!” She thought.She stood in the spacious living room and looked at the man beside Galen who wanted to get to the bottom of this investigation. Her fingers tightened on the fork. “Words might not be enough to explain. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you give this a try?”Galen had not reacted when Charles spoke, nor when Abel had talked about switching it to a blunt weapon, but he definitely did now. “Nonsense!” he said sternly and stood up.Lily’s fighting spirit was ignited, but his stern rebuke deflated half of it. “Why not? Is it now allowed? You said attacking a police officer wasn’t allowed, didn’t you?”“He doesn’t count!” Galen said with disdain.Lily’s aggressive stance was completely deflated. “Well… if he doesn’t count, then his skills

    The seemingly innocent question was directed at the young police officer.He looked troubled.Her delicate appearance did not help.The young police officer turned to the stern-faced man beside Galen for some help. The man pursed his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice.“Your Excellency… Madam… the nature of this case is severe, but the process of investigation is smooth. If your daughter doesn’t reveal the whole truth, it’ll be difficult for us to reach the crux of the issue. I assume that you don’t just want the result from this investigation but also the truth?”His firm voice was authoritative yet respectful.Charles turned to look at him. His brown eyes were calm, and he was sizing up this person.The police officer’s cold demeanor momentarily faltered. He quickly looked away and did not dare look him in the eye. “We’re just following procedures. To prevent this matter from escalating further, we hope for your cooperation.”He sounded intimidated yet resolute. It seemed

    He was already determined to stake everything on his plan.“Right,” Lily said, “What about those bodyguards assigned to protect me? How were they swapped?”“Abel offered them ten times the price and bribed the group of bodyguards hired by Denver. The two poor people were taken down. The rest were replaced by our own people,” said Galen icily.Lily was shocked. She looked at him and then at Abel, who was driving calmly.Ruth looked at her husband with the same shocked face.So, this was how money made the world go round!When Denver had transferred money to that company, Lily had caught wind of it, but it seemed Abel had found out even sooner.He had already made arrangements to take drastic measures.“Don’t they have any morals? I heard that those kinds of organizations have principles. They won’t willingly betray the ones who employed them,” said Ruth.“As long as it’s not a terrorist organization, every organization needs connections. William’s group was already in dire stra

    It was mainly because Denver clearly fabricated an alibi. But he had appeared on the scene and had been taken away.It was indeed quite puzzling.At that point, everyone looked at Abel in confusion.Abel looked straight ahead and did not speak. He only spoke when he was asked directly.“The father and son lost because they didn’t know each other’s motivations. It’s easy to bribe their people to send a message to the other and get them to the scene…”Before they set off, Sean received news that Denver was going all out and wanted to go down with Lily in the manor in the suburbs.Sean did not doubt it because Denver had been acting increasingly strange recently.He was transferring his assets and buying and renovating manors. It was as though he was prepared for death.He had even arranged for his funeral.Afraid that his son was taking things too hard, he put down whatever he was doing and rushed over to the scene.Since that was taken care of, it was easy to deceive Denver af

    “See what you are doing? What if something happens to your sister?”Charles was not known for showing affection or caring about people outright.However, when his daughter cried and threw a tantrum, he could not stop himself.Charles stood by Lily without hesitation and scolded Abel for his incompetence.Ruth was originally filled with resentment and wanted to vent it out on Abel too, but when she saw that the father and daughter duo had joined forces to attack her husband, half of her resentment dissipated.With four bodyguards that had been arranged to deal with two outsiders, coupled with Lily’s abilities, her life was indeed not in danger…She glanced at Lily hesitantly. At this moment, Galen had cleaned up all the stains on her palm.Other than the redness between her thumb and index finger, she did not seem too badly hurt.All the resentment was gone. In fact, she was even a little protective. “Why did you have to deal with the four bodyguards?” Lily lowered her head an

    Everyone was speechless.This discussion was fruitless. Everyone had their own opinions, and no one wanted to give in.In the end, Reina and the old man took a car, while Ruth, Abel, Charles, Galen Barker, and Lily got into another.The fire slowly died down.The cars left one after another.After Mr. Lockton got into the car, his cloudy eyes became shrewd. He asked his daughter, “Do you think that police officer is also interested in Lily?”Otherwise, why would he be so active and rush to the front? Why would he find such a lousy excuse to be the one to drop her home?“I think so, but unfortunately, Lily doesn’t seem to be as interested as before,” Reina said helplessly.Otherwise, why would she reject such a good opportunity to get into his car?Wouldn’t she have acted pitiful enough to earn his sympathy to get into the car?Mr. Lockton frowned. He was in deep thought.The last time he had heard that his granddaughter had fallen in love with another man who happened to be

    Also, she was sure that if it was Luna being attacked at that time, he would have helped her without hesitation.This man was just like Notus. He was stupid, stubborn, and hypocritical.The reason why she spoke on his behalf was that she could not stand Luna’s smug face. Even if she wanted to drag someone down, she had to ask first.It was just the truth. She would not die if she made that clear anyway.Luna’s smug look cracked as she stared fixedly at her. Her gaze shifted from doubt to resentment and unwillingness.Aquilo was not surprised when Lily accused him. He knew that he had done something wrong. If not for Abel’s careful consideration, they would have died here today.However, he was quite surprised to hear her defend him.As he was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, he could not help but turn to look at her.“Lily…”Lily was about to walk to her car.She paused for a moment and turned to look at him calmly.Her usually playful eyes were indifferent at that

    Aquilo opened his mouth but did not know what to say.Just then, a team of uniformed police officers rushed over to the scene to rescue the hostages.Looking at the people standing before them, they could not tell which ones were the hostages.Galen Barker walked over from behind and glanced at them. “What are you still standing here for? Get out quickly!”This manor had an ancient Sommersetese courtyard.The place where they were gathered was a small open space in the courtyard.After passing through the desolate artificial mountain pavilion, they arrived at the large courtyard outside the manor. There were many people gathered there, with many police cars parked nearby.A fire truck had also arrived.To Lily’s surprise, Sean Lovehart and his father were also there and were being escorted into the police car.When he saw her coming out, Denver’s face filled with hatred. He wanted to rush to her and strangle her. “You’ve got guts! You risked your life to drag us down with you!
