He thought too highly of Ruth.

Before she could speak, Apollo unceremoniously pushed Owen away. “Get out of the way! Don’t use your narcissistic appearance to seduce Ruth!”

Owen stumbled after being pushed away. “Apollo Blakewell!”

“Hey, are you angry? Is this how you apologize? Sis, don’t take his things. I’ll pay your clothes expenses for the next year. Who cares about this lousy brand’s clothes,” Apollo said, adding fuel to the fire.

Owen glared at him and upped his offer. “Sis, your clothes expenses for the next three years will be on me! You can order from any brand!”

“Five years!”

“Ten years!”

“Twenty years!”

“A lifetime!”

When Owen said that, Apollo shut up.

He did not get angry as usual when he lost in bickering. Instead, he looked proud.

Owen suddenly realized what was going on. He thought. “Damn it! I was tricked!”

When he remembered the number of clothes Ruth bought some time ago, her lifetime expenses were not going to be so small.

He did not even put so much t

    After saying that, Ruth ignored their flushed faces, got up, and went upstairs.Apollo had a bad premonition. When he turned around, he found Owen next to him had a surprised and grateful expression on his face.He coolly said, “You’re doomed, yet you’re still smiling?”Owen was stunned. “Huh?”Apollo pondered over it. If the deception was exposed, he would also be doomed. So, he kindly explained all the ins and outs of the fun game between Abel and Ruth.After the explanation, he said indifferently, “Ruth is smart. She must suspect us now! If she finds out the truth, Abel is doomed. If Abel is doomed, you are also doomed!”Owen was shocked.Ruth came out after changing her clothes and found an unread message on her phone.It was from Abel. [Are you done with your work?][Yes. I dropped by to pick Apollo up and asked Mrs. Greenwell to cook your favorite food tonight!]As the sun set in the west, the faint orange-red light blanketed the earth in a warm glow.Near Lockton Ente

    Ruth was dumbfounded. The obscene emoji that Demi sent then popped up in her mind.The atmosphere became tense and awkward, which was even more terrifying.Owen belatedly realized he had said something wrong and forced a smile on his face. “Ha… haha… It turns out that you didn’t know, Sis, but it’s good that you prepared them. I really need them lately!”“Then have some more!” Apollo quickly put a few pieces of grilled lamb onto his plate.The atmosphere remained strange in the dining room.Abel cleared his throat and put his bowl down. He glanced at the table and broke the silence. “You’re very considerate today. Why did you suddenly think of asking Mrs. Greenwell to make foods that are good for my stomach?”Ruth stopped eating. “I wanted to thank you! The decision to remove all DH’s products gave me a lot of face!”“Cough… Cough…”A piece of grilled lamb got stuck in the throat of DH’s executive president. He could not swallow it nor spit it out.It turned out that today w

    The warm lights of the dining room shone on the four people, and the aroma of the curry filled the air.Owen flushed and held onto the man beside him tightly. His eyes were full of affection, and his voice sounded sad. “Do you know how sad I was when you said we are not close?”Apollo looked at the hand that held his wrist.A thought suddenly popped up in his mind.He was sullied.Ruth was shocked to see this. She did not expect this shocking news.Apollo and Owen actually had such an unspeakable relationship!No wonder they seemed familiar with each other when they quarreled earlier. Apollo also kept interrupting Owen for fear of him finishing his sentence. It turned out this was the reason why he did so.“Abel, Sis, I didn’t want to hide it, but Apollo wouldn’t let me tell you. We are in a special situation. He’s still growing his reputation as an actor, so we cannot expose our relationship. You understand, don’t you?”Ruth met his earnest and sincere eyes and hurriedly nodd

    Ruth and Abel left, and the dining room became quiet again.The atmosphere soon became awkward.After a while, the two slowly turned their heads to look at each other. They looked at the faces that made their “hearts beat” and quickly turned away.Blaargh!The price of this lie was too great.Ruth was in the corridor on the second floor. She wanted to give them space, but she wanted to gossip even more. Right after she passed the corner, she poked her head back and took a peek.She wore light-colored loungewear, and her long hair was casually scattered around her. There was a black cat ears headband on her head, and she was eavesdropping with her hip up and waist bent.Unlike her usual cold and arrogant look, she acted her age and looked cute.Abel turned and glanced at her with a helpless expression. He extended his hand to grab the back of her neck and easily pushed her into the bedroom.“What are you doing? Let me observe the situation! Aren’t you worried about Apollo’s lov

    After the two people downstairs, who were disgusted by each other, finished throwing up, the atmosphere finally returned to normal.Owen let out a long sigh and said sorrowfully, “I have sacrificed so much. Abel’s anger should have subsided, right?”Apollo nodded. “I think so.”He had done so much, so Abel should have forgiven him for telling Ruth about the family gathering, right?The two were silent for a moment. Then, they tacitly raised their glasses, clinked, and finished them in one go.After a while, they heard footsteps coming from upstairs.They immediately stood up.Abel had taken a shower in the next room and changed into loungewear. His hair was short and fluffy, and he looked lazy and sleepy. He did not look as imposing as when he was working.The two in the dining room were drowning their sorrows when Abel slowly walked downstairs. They quickly walked to him. Abel raised his head and glanced at Apollo, who responded tactfully. “You guys have a chat. I have a sho

    Ruth gulped and tidied her dress unnaturally. She slowly walked to the bed, climbed over Abel, and crawled to the inner part of the bed.She got inside the blanket and covered her head with it.Then, she slowly pulled it down and revealed her big eyes. She looked around, and her gaze finally landed on the person beside her.Noticing the gaze of the person next to him, Abel looked away from the tablet, turned his head, and glanced at her. “Are you sleepy?”Ruth looked at him and said nothing.Abel raised his hand and turned off the light. He only left a desk lamp on his side.Then, his gaze returned to the tablet.Ruth’s eyes gradually widened in disbelief.She thought. “That’s it? Aren’t you going to continue?“I just took a shower, applied a nice-smelling body lotion, brushed my teeth twice, used the mouth freshener spray, put on a mask, and applied my skincare products. After all of that, this is how he reacts after I lay down next to him?!”Ruth’s eyelashes fluttered like

    It was quiet outside the window. The moon was bright, and there were only a few stars.A gust of evening wind lifted the corner of the curtain.After a while, when Ruth felt she was about to pass out, Abel let go of her and called her name in a hoarse and seductive voice.“Ruth.”“Yeah?”Her voice sounded weak, as if she was in the water.Abel breathed even more heavily and remained silent for a while. Then, he got up to distance himself a little from her. “Make time for me next Saturday. I’ll let you fully understand me so that you won’t have to test me.”Ruth’s heartbeat raced, and her wandering mind returned. “Actually, I don’t mind it. Everyone has their own secrets.”It was people’s instinct to test something they were curious about, and she could not refrain from not doing so.“I do.” Abel sounded serious. “I want you to get to know me.”The incident was resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, and Ruth did not doubt him and even apologized to him.However, he did not feel

    Callum also felt horrible, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only hold the teacup tightly. “That rebellious girl must have forgotten her last name!”“Callum, if it was really Ruth’s doing, you must help Luna!” Bella pleaded with tears in her eyes.“Yes! We must make her pay the price!” Jasper also fanned the flames.However, Callum did not reply to them.He wanted to make Ruth pay the price too.However, Ruth was no longer the little girl he could control, like three years ago.She had become vicious and ruthless. Besides, she also had a strong supporter.Callum pondered the problem. Then, he suddenly asked, “What is Caelus doing right now?”They had been married for many years, so, as soon as Callum asked the question, Bella understood what he meant. Her eyes flashed with cunning, but her expression became even sadder. “Caelus is someone who values friendship. He must be sad about being tricked by Ruth.”Bang!Callum slammed his teacup on the table. “It was he who put Lun

    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!
