Ruth sniffled and moved back aloofly. “Is that so? Alright, then. I’ll have my assistant send the book to you later. I expect an official announcement from you within two days, understand?”

Terran was speechless.

She wanted to throw the brat out of the car.

She gave her an inch, and she went straight for a mile.

Since Terran really did have work at Rising Star, Ruth stood at the foot of the building and waited for Nathan to pick her up.

But, before Nathan arrived, a familiar luxury car came over.

The red Maserati stopped at the foot of the building. Luna stared at Ruth and charged over while blazing with anger. “Ruth, why are you here? I thought you’re oh-so-aloof and don’t care about Caelus. Why are you still so shameless and came to find him?!”

Ruth just stared at her like she was looking at a retard. “Do you need to get your head checked? Does Caelus own this piece of land?”

Her casual attitude served as a stark contrast to how wary Luna looked. It also made her remembe

    Ruth could not be bothered to waste any more of her breath with Luna. She saw Abel’s car by the side and turned to go to it. “Stop!”Luna’s fall reduced her to a pathetic and embarrassing state, but she quickly regained her rationality. When the interview ended, DH might have not been too nice to her, but they did not say much. Clearly, Ruth’s words were nothing to them. Where did the b*tch get the confidence to threaten her?“You have to be responsible for what you say in public! I know you want to smear DH’s name to pull a publicity stunt, but DH won’t just agree to it and do nothing in return! When the truth comes out, I won’t let you off the hook!”She pushed herself elegantly off the ground and looked at Abel. “He’s pretty. It’s no wonder why you like him. Do you dare to tell him what happened three years ago? Are you sure he’ll still protect you after you tell him?”Ruth turned around. When she saw how impertinent Luna was, she scowled. “Don’t you think it’s strange t

    He simply could not continue talking about this with her.When Ruth saw that he was no longer saying anything, she asked, “By the way, why are you here? Are you here for work?”“I’m here to pick you up from work,” he replied calmly.After saying that, he noticed the coy look in her eyes, and he really wanted to bite his own tongue off. She was already smug enough. After hearing this, her ego would grow to the size of a football field. Just as he expected, Ruth smiled even more brightly and marveled that he actually remembered promising her to pick her up from work. She reached out to grab his hand, but Abel avoided it and put his hand back on the steering wheel. Yet Ruth did not give up and went for his hand again. “Stop fooling around. I’m driving.”“You held my hand last time. Why can’t we do it now?”Ruth grabbed his hand and interlaced their fingers. Then, she looked down at the back of his hand and said slowly, “Would you believe me if I told you that all that Luna sa

    Pearl’s phone vibrated. It was her livestream assistant. Whenever something like that happened, her assistant would call her and pretend to comfort her before asking Pearl to not stream for a while. She pulled at her hair, then rushed over to her phone and grabbed it. “I know! I won’t stream for the time being! In fact, I won’t stream ever again!”Her assistant was silent for a few seconds before she spoke tentatively. “That’s not it, Pearl. The boss wants to know whether you really have a bad relationship with Ms. Ruth.”When Pearl went to the hospital and streamed herself meeting Ruth and stopping her from leaving, the feedback was pretty good. The platform manager, thus, asked her to continue with this theme and stream herself doing things socialites do on a daily basis with Ruth, like going out window shopping or having afternoon tea. Pearl had rejected the idea with a vicious no and said that she was not close to Ruth. When she heard the question again, she remembered

    “I’ve been working as a housekeeper for a long time, and I noticed that those with weak stomachs prefer these dishes.” Mrs. Greenwell smiled and served Ruth a bowl of soup. Ruth took the bowl and looked at Abel in shock. “You have a weak stomach?”Abel nodded. “Yeah. I thought you knew?”Ruth was surprised and wanted to say that she did not. “I like biting down on soft skin, after all.” Why did he say it so self-righteously?Ruth bowed her head to drink her soup. When she emptied the bowl, it made a small clink that was especially clear in the quiet dining hall. Mrs. Greenwell felt guilty and wanted to leave, but she felt that it would be strange if she left without a word. After some thought, she asked, “What do you like, Madam? I’ll prepare it tomorrow.”Ruth pondered over it. “How about curry?”Her question was directed at a certain someone who had a bad stomach. Abel ignored the worried look Mrs. Greenwell flashed at him and nodded calmly. “As long as you like it,

    Abel noticed how calm she was. She seemed to find it normal. He put some smoked salmon on her plate and gave her a piece of advice. “You should give very clear hints of kindness to those who are a bit dense. Otherwise, they might misunderstand you.”“I just spoke the truth. I wasn’t trying to help her.”Ruth took a bite of the smoked salmon and looked at him. “You seem to know Pearl well.”Abel did not bother to hide it. “Not really. I just took the opportunity to learn about her after she got into an argument with you at the supermarket.”The Harlem and Lockton families were family friends and had been pretty close to each other in the past. Albert Harlem was a loyal friend. If Ruth asked him for help, he would not turn her away. While Pearl did not have a good reputation, she was not a bad person at heart. With Ruth’s current situation, there was no need for her to have a complete fall out with the Harlem family. Ruth was smart, so there was no way she would not understan

    It was pretty devastating to the heart. It was no wonder why she said everyone loved it. But this also meant that she and Terran went way back. After dinner, Ruth went to the study to send Terran all the related documents. Then, she took a look at her email, but found that she had not received anything work-related. DH was also staying silent online. Ruth went downstairs and asked Mr. Jackson, the butler, to get the recording of DH’s visit to her. “The master checked the recording this afternoon and sent it to DH in your name,” Mr. Jackson answered respectfully.Ruth was surprised. When Luna suddenly exposed her right in front of Abel in the afternoon, Ruth had actually been pretty anxious. She had been focused on hiding her anxiety beneath jokes, which led to her overlooking many things, such as why Abel went to Rising Star to pick her up when he said he was there to pick her up from work. He also immediately talked about the whole fiasco with DH at their mansion, which m

    Both of them had their own skeletons in their closets, and so, the conversation came to an end. Neither of them spoke about Mr. Kallan or the custom-made rings again. Ruth went back to business and talked about DH. She thanked Abel for helping her check the recording and supporting her in front of Luna. Abel adopted a stern expression. “I’m sorry. I didn’t take care of this properly.”“It’s not your fault. Who would have thought they would do something so out of left field? But, now that things have ended up in such a mess, I’ll take care of it myself.” She already had a plan. Abel did not refuse to let her do it. He just nodded. “Alright.”This entire mess boiled down to DH’s staff members acting audaciously and lying to their superiors. He had to show some respect to Philip, which was why he sent the recording to DH in Ruth’s name—he wanted to give them another chance. If they apologized and dealt with this matter properly so that Ruth was satisfied with it, he would no

    The next day, Ruth had nothing to do in the morning, so she could finally sleep in. However, a phone call woke her up.It was an unknown landline number, and the caller’s voice was sweet and formal. “Hello, Ms. Lockton. I’m a staff member from DH’s headquarters. We’ve received your complaint, and we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience that resulted from our mistake. We’ve made the decision to offer you an annual discount card. I would like to introduce you to this card. Do you have time for it?”Ruth’s drowsy mind cleared up. “An annual discount card?”“Yes.”Then, the woman started to introduce the card.Ruth did not pay attention to the speech, but found their actions even more unpleasant.Did they think such a huge mistake could be settled with an annual discount card?“Is this your final solution?” Ruth interrupted in a cold voice.Since Ruth had just woken up, she did not sound imposing, and her voice was soft. The staff thought Ruth wanted to take the opport

    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!
