“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

    After hanging up, Ruth tapped on the unknown number and saved it under the name Puppy Pearl.Ruth had woken up on the wrong side of the bed because of the call from DH’s customer service staff, but her anger subsided when she looked at the name she saved.She felt that Abel’s words were correct. She should be straightforward with those who were slow on the uptake. Pearl was not smart, but she was not a bad person. There was no need for her to continue to be against her.Twenty minutes later, Pearl drove a flashy red Ferrari to the main building in Kingsland Manor residential area.From the moment she got out of the car and walked into the mansion, her mouth did not close. Her eyes were full of undisguised shock.Even though her name was Pearl, and she grew up in a luxurious place and lived an extravagant life, she was still amazed by the mansion.It had several times more ground than the surrounding mansions, and the yard was full of precious flowers and plants. When she opened t

    “I don’t believe it!” Pearl looked vigilant. “How can you be so kind? You purposely called me over, but you don’t need me to do anything, and you’re even going to help me restore my reputation. Have pigs learned how to fly?”If Pearl had heard it in the past, she might have been hopeful and believed Ruth had a conscience, but after being tricked many times, she no longer believed that to be the case.Ruth paused for a few seconds when she met her skeptical eyes. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not.”Pearl’s eyes widened, and she seemed to find it even harder to believe.She thought. “Damn! This woman didn’t even spend the effort to deceive me!“She even got impatient!”She glared at Ruth for a long time, but Ruth did not even spare her a glance.Pearl felt bored but did not want to leave. After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly asked, “Why would you help me? Don’t you want to help Luna take revenge on me?”“Why would I help her?”“You used to help her when we we

    Although Pearl said so, her steps were hesitant.She walked for several minutes but still did not reach the door.“Is there anything else?” Ruth asked.Pearl did not turn around, so she did not see Ruth’s impatient expression. Her eyes were fixed on a pink dress nearby.It was from Dio’s new collection. It was limited to ten pieces and pre-ordered before it was released, so she did not manage to buy it.“I think that dress fits my temperament very well!”Ruth did not say anything and looked at where Pearl pointed.It was a girly pink dress, which did suit her naive temperament. “You can take it.”Pearl quickly rushed over, took the dress off the coat hanger, and ran away.Of course, she did not get to wear it since it was Ruth's size. She could not zip it up.So, she took another dress from Ruth’s closet and decided to lose weight.Ruth could not bear to have her clothes wasted, so she kindly helped Pearl match her outfit with accessories and a bag. She changed Pearl’s whole

    Ruth understood what Mrs. Greenwell meant. She shook her head in dismissal. “Think of it as my compensation for her.”Mrs. Greenwell did not get it. “Compensation?”“Well, it seemed like I used to bully her a lot.”Mrs. Greenwell did not reply.She thought. “I see.“She is quite pitiful.”The phone rang and interrupted their conversation. It also made Ruth forget about the elevator.It was a call from Nathan. He said that Dio had made a move.Dio was indeed DH’s sworn enemy. In the time it took Ruth to change her clothes, they had released the video. They even contacted several brands that were present at the time and confirmed that the order for Kingsland Manor residential area was delivered that day.Some marketing accounts added fuel to the fire, and the news received a lot of attention on the internet.[Is she really from DH? She is so rude!][Could it be that someone’s deliberately defaming them?][Even if someone’s deliberately defaming them, they have to have dirt to

    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!
