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

    With that decision made, Luna felt wronged and was “forced” to listen to her parents to dissociate from Caelus.Caelus knew nothing about it. He had a headache while dealing with the huge mess on his hands and stayed in the company for a couple days.After receiving countless termination of business notices and payments for liquidated damages, the company did not have enough money to stay afloat. At this time, Caelus finally remembered his father-in-law.He also suddenly realized that he had not contacted Luna for several days.When he thought of this, he found it strange. Since the day he hung up on her in agitation, she had not called him again.He had a bad premonition and hurried back to Kingsland Manor residential area. However, his car could not enter. The mansion belonged to Luna, so it was obvious why he could not get in.He called her more than a dozen times, but no one answered. He rushed to the Goldwell family’s mansion in a panic. While on the way, he received news fr

    Ruth was puzzled. “What do you mean?”Pearl just looked smug. “Aren’t you busy?”“Stop wasting time. Talk.”Pearl cursed in her heart, but she still told Ruth all that she saw. “I remember that person. I think he’s the vice president of Eternal Corporation. My dad said that you’ve been talking about working with Eternal Corporation. Heh. Someone stole your partnership from right under your nose, huh?”Ruth fell silent, which led to Pearl widening her eyes. “Are you seriously thinking that I’m lying to you? You can choose not to believe me if you want—”She had a photo, but she would not hand it over. If Ruth refused to believe her, it would be entirely her fault that she got unlucky with Eternal Corporation. “Why were you at Eternal Corporation?” Ruth suddenly asked. “For work, duh. Did you actually think that you’re the only one with a job?” Pearl said haughtily“Oh…” Ruth said languidly. “Carry on, then. I’ll treat you to a meal some time later. Bye.”Ruth was so vague t

    Pearl wore a dress that made her look young and full of life. But she also wore a gold bangle, two gold bracelets, a jade bangle, as well as two pearl necklaces…All of that coupled with her flashy makeup made her look tacky, but rich. She was a painful sight. Pearl’s heart sank, and she gave Ruth a wary look. “What’s with that expression? I’m telling you, don’t look down on me. I’ve gained a lot of followers over this period of time!”Ruth said nothing. She headed to her office while Pearl followed her. Fortunately, Pearl knew that she should avoid arousing suspicion, so she did not start causing a ruckus outside. She only whispered to Ruth when she entered the office. “You’re looking for investors for your company? Why don’t you get your husband to help? Isn’t he really powerful?”Ruth sat down in her office chair and did not even look up. “How did you come up with the conclusion that he’s powerful?”“He’s related to Blakewell Corporation removing DH from its shelves, isn’t

    What was going on?With this question in mind, Ruth got up languidly. After she finished washing up, she changed into a fresh set of clothes. The moment she opened the bedroom door, Mrs. Greenwell came in with a group of people. A fashionable woman looked around the bedroom before she decided to choose the balcony to do Ruth’s makeup. The natural lighting over there was good, and it was perfect to do makeup. Ruth did not even have the chance to give an opinion before she was dragged over like a marionette. The makeup artist sized Ruth’s face up and praised her. “Mrs. Blakewell, you have the most perfect face I’ve ever seen. Your skin is really good! The event you’re going to tonight is quite formal, so I’ll put light makeup on for you.”Ruth felt speechless. She was just going on a date. Come on…How formal could it be?Before she could finish the thought, someone spoke from beyond the door. “Amy, I’ve got Mrs. Blakewell’s dressing gowns. Should I bring them all in for her

    Abel bent down and drew even closer to Ruth to press his forehead against hers. The tips of their noses were right across from each other, and there was only the distance of a finger between their lips. This was too intimate! There were still plenty of onlookers around them! Ruth’s face burned, and she struggled to shove him away. “You’re shameless! We’re about to be late! Come on! Follow me!”After saying that, she bypassed him and went straight to the door. “Got it, honey.” Abel smiled and went out. Amy and her group of stylists stood where they were. They were baffled by the sight, just like when they were shocked when they received Kallan’s call. Who on earth said that Mr. Blakewell was obsessed with work and had no feelings?He clearly loved his wife!He sent a private plane to pick Amy up from another country just to give his wife the perfect look for a small dinner. There was also a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the courtyard. Its license plate was one-of-a-kind t

    It was Ruth’s phone. She looked at the caller and was a little surprised. The call was from Eternal Corporation’s vice president. She answered it. “Mr. McGreen?”“Ruth! My staff and I had another meeting after we dropped by to gain an understanding of your company yesterday. Lockton Entertainment is a company with great potential. We have absolutely no problem investing in it. Bring your contract over. I’ve sent the location to your phone.”What?!It was a Saturday! Was their company so motivated to work that they actually worked overtime to discuss investing in her company?Also, why did they have to have a meeting now?!She instinctively wanted to refuse it, but, when she saw the location Mr. McGreen sent to her, she hesitated. It was the Sky Hotel. The message with the location was followed by another one. [I’m going to be discussing a partnership with another person here. For the sake of convenience, why don’t we meet up here as well? You don’t mind, do you?] It wa

    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!
