Ruth had not sorted it out nor figured out what kind of person Abel was. If she let Serenity interfere in this matter, the situation would become a mess.She pondered it for a few seconds. “Did I tell you that Apollo is staying at my house for the time being?”Serenity raised her head and looked at Ruth in shock while standing beside the car. “Girl, this is not right. How could you two-time? That’s immoral!”“He’s Solomon’s fan, and, since Solomon is starring in the Gate to the Heart, they’ve gotten close lately. They often come to my house to discuss the plot—”“I suddenly remembered I have some stuff to do in the clubhouse. I’ll drop by next time!”Before Ruth could reply, Serenity was gone.Ruth was not surprised. She was happy to see Serenity, who seemed to be running for her life, disappear in the distance.Among the members of the Springfield family, only Solomon could control her.The red Bentley slowly merged into the traffic and stopped for a few seconds at the interse
Abel left the conference room in a hurry. However, he was not going to his office but to the elevator.Kallan barely caught up to him by running after him. However, he happily smiled as he knew that the wedding ring on Abel’s hand was designed by Seema.If Ruth could make an appointment to order the wedding rings while Seema was on vacation, she had to have a way to contact them!There was still a chance of inviting them!After entering the elevator, he said happily, “Mr. Blakewell, is it a message from Mrs. Blakewell? Can she help us contact—”“She’s coming to pick me up.”“Huh?”Kallan was puzzled.After getting into the car, Abel ordered coldly, “Get to Grand Empire within twenty minutes!”Then, he called Joseph.Abel ordered him to go downstairs to wait for Ruth and buy him fifteen minutes. After hearing that, Kallan understood what was going on.He thought. “Oh, it seems like Mr. Blakewell told Mrs. Blakewell he is an executive of Grand Empire. Mrs. Blakewell suddenly s
Abel got out of the car calmly and headed to the elevator. “Don’t make such a low-level mistake next time.”Kallan just stared at him with the most baffled expression ever. Next time?He would rather throw himself on the ground and beg Abel not to have to drive at such a speed and with such passion ever again. Ding. The elevator stopped on the first floor. Right after the elevator door opened, Abel saw two familiar people standing in front of him. Ruth had a huge bouquet of roses in her hands, Her aloof and beautiful face was bright with a smile, which made her even more gorgeous than the flowers. Beside her was Joseph, who stood a respectful step behind her. Even so, this sight made Abel frown. He found it a complete eyesore!“You’re finally done with work, Mr. Blakewell?”Joseph did not notice the hostile look in Abel’s eyes and just sighed in relief. Thank goodness he arrived on time. When he did see Abel’s cold expression, he started explaining what was going
Abel drove Ruth’s car on their way back. Ruth sat in the passenger’s seat, while the roses lay on the back seat. The small car was filled with the fragrance of roses and a long-period of silence. Ruth was happy when they left, but, perhaps because of the silence, she was starting to feel a little awkward. Now that this happened, how should they live together in the future?Should she increase his pocket money?After all, she did not expect this to happen before their marriage. They had never made any sort of contract related to this either. She turned around quietly to look at him. Abel’s face looked to have been chiseled out of marble, which made him look cold. But when the dim street lights shone on him, they cast a warm glow on him. When they first got to know each other, she thought that he was a cold man who was born with an air of superiority. Even when they did the most intimate things, he was still untouchable and unreadable. However, at this moment, she sud
She shook her head rapidly. They were just holding hands!There was nothing strange about that. They had already kissed and even slept together. She had to act like the imposing sugar mommy she was supposed to be!With that thought in mind, she grabbed his hand and squeezed her fingers between his so that they could interlace them. Then, she raised her head pridefully. “Of course. I won’t let him steal what’s mine so easily.”Abel looked down at their interlaced fingers and instinctively tightened his grip. “Some elaboration, perhaps?”Once they started talking about work, Ruth cast aside her girly shyness and excitedly shared her plans. She wanted to make Caelus waste his money and become her stepping stone. Abel was a little surprised. He only thought that Ruth wanted to make Caelus waste his money to vent her anger; he was not expecting her to dig a trap for him. Admiration grew in his eyes as he stared at her. As expected of the woman he liked. “When you cast your b
Caelus’ expression turned sour. The production company was Lockton Entertainment. It was a small, obscure company, but Ruth was someone he hated and feared. He had witnessed her strategies before. If she dared to do something like this at this point in time, then it meant that she came into this prepared. He had a bad feeling, and he became even more fretful. “Why is she causing trouble now?! Luna has already given up on the role of Remilia Walton! What else does she want?!”“I asked our friends over at Lockton Corporation. Apparently, she’s not happy with us ruining her reputation while doing our promotion.”With those words, Caelus remembered what he did. With the increase in Silent Love’s popularity, more and more people praised their relationship and compared the two daughters. Most said that Ruth could not compare to Luna, since she wanted to draw Caelus to her side with materialistic goods, among other things. Caelus had felt great when he saw those comments in th
However, in just an instant, reality gave him a harsh slap and snapped him out of his daydream. That plan was only suitable to take down a small production team with no money and support. Strictly speaking, Ruth did have someone supporting her. That person from the Blakewell family was her greatest bargaining chip. If he decided to interfere, the Goldwell family would not even have the right to speak. When Luna saw Caelus fall silent, she exercised an appropriate amount of control to not appear so confident and returned to be the gentle, frail, and delicate woman. She knew that Caelus loved gentle and kind women, so she drew upon her own strength. “Honestly, it’s because of you and Dad acting as my support that I did this. Without you two backing me up, I wouldn’t have dared to fight back with such courage.” Her words instantly reminded Caelus that people became fearless when they had support. If someone as kind as Luna would counterattack because she had support, Ruth, w
When Ruth and Nathan arrived at the Imperial City’s International Fashion Gala, they were denied entry by the staff. “Ms. Ruth, do you have an electronic invitation?”Ruth frowned. “What?”“We had some errors with the paper invitations. It seems like we sent more invitations than the amount of people we can accommodate in the hall, so we will only receive those with electronic invitations,” the staff told her politely. Those words were fine on their own, but there were other people standing beside the staff member. Those “other people” were from DH. They had gone through a lot of trouble choosing their brand ambassador while paying close attention to the news online. In the end, though, they still picked Luna. When the DH people saw Ruth again, they felt that they were now enemies with her. “All the people participating in the fashion show are big brands with new clothes to show, so they’re naturally only going to invite people who can afford those clothes,” someone said.
