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

    Kaylen and her husband were partners with Ruth’s jewelry workshop, but both of them were not as they seemed. The husband was a top-ranked hacker in the hackers’ association. Getting through various security systems was like taking a walk in his own backyard. Hence, asking him to get the security footage of a hotel was as easy as breathing for him. Not only was it as easy as breathing, the person himself even thought Ruth was wasting his talents. When they reached the hotel, Abel brought Ruth to the penthouse. Someone had already prepared a professional suit for her in the room. The measurements were also perfectly fitted to her size. After Ruth changed her clothes and came out, she sized up the luxurious presidential suite, and her face was full of shock and disbelief. “Honey, is the Blakewell family that rich? Do they prepare presidential suites for all of you?”“That ‘all’ is unnecessary. This suite is one-of-a-kind.”This room was specially prepared for Abel to rest. H

    Caelus stopped smiling. “Those people only like her because she’s somewhat pleasant to the eyes! Mr. Nicholas has seen plenty of beautiful women before. Do you actually think he truly likes her?”Mr. McGreen’s smile faded as well. “Since he doesn’t truly like her, how are you so sure that Mr. Nicholas will be satisfied by me doing this?”The day before, when Caelus came to him, he dissuaded Mr. McGreen from signing the contract with Ruth with a slew of perfectly logical reasons. He said that Ruth was in a relationship with Nicholas Blakewell. They were having an argument, which was why the Blakewell family did not support her. If he dared to invest in Lockton Entertainment, he would be humiliating Nicholas. However, if Mr. McGreen sent her to Nicholas’s bed, he would be happy with Mr. McGreen’s actions. “All men care about their ego. As long as he gets his woman, he’ll be fine with it. It doesn’t matter whether he really likes her or not.” Caelus snorted coldly. “Besides, thi

    Mr. McGreen returned to his couch and crossed his legs while he flipped through the contract. “I believe you must understand Lockton Entertainment’s current situation. I won’t keep it a secret from you, but your father has personally told us to not let Lockton Entertainment become a public listed company.”“Since you asked me to come here, that means you’ve made your decision. I believe you’re different from the rest,” Ruth praised him. Mc. McGreen cast her a look. His eyes shone with cunning. “Of course.”As he spoke, he took a wine glass and poured some wine into it before handing it to Ruth. “But I’m taking a huge risk here. Don’t you think you should show some sincerity?”Ruth stared at the wine glass in front of her. “What sort of sincerity do you want me to show?”“Patience. Just drink with me first.”Ruth said nothing in return. The light shone on the red liquid inside the wine glass. It sparkled and gave off a dangerous aura. Nathan narrowed his eyes and instinctivel

    Besides, she knew just how “good” her alcohol tolerance was, which was why she never drank a lot. This old fox tried to cause trouble to her right from the get go by making her drink wine, but she readily took the wine he gave her and did not question it. Most of the time, a person was not actually a problem when they were making a show of being difficult. They were more of a problem when they suddenly became understanding, even though they wanted to make things difficult. After the accident three years ago, Ruth was immune to and ready for such despicable tactics. Besides, she heard them talk about juice in the footage, so the juice was the one that was spiked. Mr. McGreen grabbed his throat and started coughing. His face was pale. “You b*tch! Catch her!”Four bodyguards swiftly surged into the room and surrounded Ruth and Nathan. Ruth remained where she was. She looked past the bodyguards and stared at Caelus, who was the last to show up. When she spoke, she sounded surp

    Everyone thought that Nathan was an assistant who could do any task thrown his way. They did not, however, know that he was a bodyguard as well. Not only did he have great academic qualifications, he was also skilled at fighting. He was good both in hand-to-hand combat and kickboxing. His only weakness was that he was stubborn. Just like his grandfather, he was loyal to the Lockton family. However, it was precisely because he was around that Ruth dared to march into the room so arrogantly. He just did not expect all that transpired later on to happen. After hearing Ruth praise his fighting skills, he nodded, albeit skeptically, and looked at Kallan and his group of bodyguards. Then, his gaze landed on Mr. McGreen. “How’re you going to deal with him?”Ruth thought about it. “Since we’re here, we might as well get his palm print and seal on the contract.”She was getting a partnership with Eternal Corporation. Mr. McGreen losing his job had nothing to do with her. Now, sh

    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!
