[Let’s break up. You can’t give me the life I want.]

When Ruth Lockton received the message, she had just made her wish for her 23rd birthday.

“I want to get married this year.”

She stared at the message on the screen and scowled, then sank into deep contemplation.

She had been in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend for three years, and it was true that she did not do her duties as his girlfriend, but she was never stingy when it came to giving him money.

Weren’t they fine?

Why did he suddenly want to break up?

Ruth could not wrap her head around it. Hence, she packed her bags and booked the earliest flight back home.

When she arrived at her apartment, it was already 11:00 pm.

Ruth wanted to give her boyfriend a surprise, so she did not press on the doorbell. She searched through her messages with him for a long time until she found the password for the lock.

After keying in the password and opening the door, she picked up her luggage and tip-toed upstairs. When she reached the second floor, she heard people speaking in her room. Their voices were perfectly audible.

“They say that you can never forget your first love. Are you sure you can bear breaking up with her?”

“What on earth are you saying? I’ve always loved you, Luna! If it weren’t for her money, I would have never entered a relationship with no sex like this with her!”

“Ew! You’re horrible!”

“Horrible? But you like me, don’t you?”

“...”

The giggles and voices changed after that.

Ruth clenched her fists and went to the room.

The door was not shut tight, so she could see the debauchery inside. She took out her phone and took a few pictures calmly.

The sound of the shutter caused the two people on the bed to whip their heads toward her.

When Caelus Warren saw Ruth, he quickly covered himself and Luna Goldwell with a blanket. “Ruth? W-Why are you back?” he asked with panic and surprise in his voice.

Ruth leaned against the door frame and said with a drawl, “I came back to check what sort of life you want.”

“I-I can explain! It’s not what you think it is! Luna and I are just—”

“You’re not that great, anyhow. Does she really like you?”

Mockery filled Ruth’s eyes as she sized him up.

Then, she looked at Luna in puzzlement.

Before Luna could figure out what she meant, Caelus’s expression turned as dark as a thundercloud. “How could you be so shameless, Ruth? Luna and I really love each other! Do you really have to speak like that?!”

Ruth’s voice turned chilling. “Who’s the shameless one here?”

“It’s all my fault, Ruth! I shouldn’t have fallen in love with Caelus. You can hit me or yell at me if you want, but don’t upload the pictures online! No matter what, I’m your sister. Think about the Lockton family’s reputation!”

Luna was huddled up in the blanket while staring at Ruth pitifully. The next second, she started crying.

Ruth thought. “Yeah, she’s an actress, all right.”

With a sneer, Ruth said, “The Lockton family’s reputation is already ruined because of you and your mistress of a mother.”

When Caelus saw how pitiful Luna looked, his heart ached for her, and he hurriedly gathered her in his arms while cooing at her. “Stop asking her not to upload the pictures, Luna! I won’t let her ruin you, don’t worry! You’re the only one I love, now and forever.”

After saying that, he looked at Ruth, and the panic in his eyes was gone.

He sat up straight and said calmly, “Ruth, since you already know about our relationship, let’s talk. I know that you need a boyfriend and even a husband. I can satisfy that part of your wish.”

When he sensed how worked up Luna became, he patted her shoulder to comfort her wordlessly. “But the only person I love is Luna! Once we get married, let’s just live like before and not interfere with each other’s private lives!”

It was a demand. In fact, it even sounded like he was giving alms to Ruth.

She clenched her fists again and looked down at the takeout in her hands.

Her calm facade broke a little, but she still opened the box. “While I was on my way back, I passed by the restaurant you like. I was thinking about how we could have supper together if you weren’t asleep.”

The aroma of borscht came from the box. Caelus sighed. “It’s useless. There’s no love between us. Ruth—”

Before he could finish, Caelus felt a wave of heat charging toward his face.

“Ah! Are you mad, woman?!”

“What’re you doing, Ruth?! Are you trying to kill us?!”

The pure white sheets were stained red. Caelus pulled Luna out of the way, so they managed to avoid being hit in their faces, but their naked bodies were splashed with scathing hot liquid.

    Once Ruth threw the box, she rubbed the red mark left behind by the bag in which she had carried the box. She then looked at the two people on the bed. “Have I been so nice to you two that you think you can do whatever you want to me?”“You b*tch…”“Caelus Warren, even if I had to spend the rest of my life alone, I would not marry someone like you! I won’t say anything about who you like, but you shouldn’t have plotted against me! This is just the beginning. I’m going to make you pay in the future!”After saying that, she turned around and went through the door. Pained roars came from the room. “Ruth, you b*tch! This isn’t over!”Ruth left the apartment. Her heels made loud clacking sounds against the floor while her chest heaved. The next moment, she stopped. She had come to a sudden realization. “This is my apartment. Why should I be the one to leave?”She took out her phone and called the apartment complex’s real estate management company. Once she told the person who she

    While Ruth was sizing the man up, he was doing the same to her. After Abel heard her demands, he smiled a little and reached out behind him. “Hand me her documents.”His assistant had looked Ruth up after she scratched his car, which was why he was able to hand over her documents to Abel so easily at this moment. Abel swiped through the tablet with a finger while he skimmed through her information. Without even lifting his head once, he said in a clear and awe-inspiring voice, “One hundred thousand is too little. Add a zero behind it. Otherwise, it’s not befitting of Mrs. Blakewell’s status.”But Ruth did not even pay attention to the words “Mrs. Blakewell”. All she heard was him asking her to add a zero to his allowance, and she scoffed as she thought. “Wow. Gigolos nowadays even act pretentious to impress people?“But considering his demeanor and face, he really does have the right to be pretentious…“Still, one million is too much…”“Three hundred thousand. That’s my final

    Apollo stared at Abel in hopes that he would explain himself. He also wanted him to say that his accusation was utter nonsense. But Abel merely rubbed his finger over the card and ordered his assistant to investigate the Lockton family. Ruth had disappeared for three years, then got into a shotgun marriage the moment she returned to the country. She even got herself a husband whom she had never met before. Abel could not think of any other reason for this behavior other than an accident in the Lockton family. Kallan nodded respectfully. “Do you want me to investigate what Miss Lockton went through during her three years abroad?”The information he got yesterday just showed that Ruth went to another country to stay out of trouble. He received no information about what she did during those three years abroad. “You don’t have to.” He wanted her to tell him on her own accord. As Apollo listened to them, he found himself not agreeing to their decision. He had heard the gist

    The moment Ruth said that, the living room sank into a strange, pin-drop silence. Luna and Bella exchanged a look, and they could see wariness in each other’s eyes. Callum’s expression changed a little, and he blurted out the question that was on all of their minds. “You’ve only just broken up. Who could you have married?”Ruth’s heart sank to the depths. If she still had any shred of hope that her father loved her, that hope was completely squashed at that moment. “Oh! So you know that I’ve broken up? I thought you didn’t know that I was dating someone nor that your youngest daughter decided to destroy my relationship by cheating with him!”Callum looked awkward for a moment, but it did not last. He barked at her, “We’re a family. How could you say that about your own sister?”When Luna saw that her father was on her side, she felt smug, but she still pretended to be delicate and mature. “Dad, don’t blame Ruth for this. Caelus and I did betray her. We never mentioned it bec

    Caelus’s grating voice was laced with mockery, and it destroyed all of Ruth’s delusions. Honestly, he was no different from Callum and his family. Just like them, he was a hypocrite and a greedy man. He disgusted her. Ruth narrowed her eyes and stared at his face. Then, she yanked the handbrake down, stomped on the gas pedal, and sent her car flying forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. Caelus’s pupils shrank in fear. He instinctively took two steps back before dodging to the side to avoid the car. In his hurry, he tripped over his right leg and fell on the ground. He looked absolutely pathetic. The car charging over toward him did not slow down in the slightest, and all he could hear were surprised shouts. “Caelus!”“What’re you doing, Ruth?!”Luna had come out at some point in time, and behind her was Bella. When they saw what was going on, the two of them were so terrified that they shut their eyes. They did not dare to see what was about to happen. Scree

    Warm light shone on them, and the faint aroma of essential oils filled the dining hall. Ruth picked up her wine glass as well. Her cat-like eyes were charming and beautiful. “To a happy married life, Mr. Blakewell.”Since Ruth was not in a good mood, she drank her wine like it was water. During dinner, Abel went to the balcony to pick up a call, only to find out that Ruth had finished an entire bottle of red wine in the meantime. She was slouching in her chair, and the hem of her dress spilled over the chair like petals. Her long, brown locks curled up at her waist and framed her exquisite and charming face in such a manner that she looked lackadaisical and seductive. She was absolutely breathtaking. When Ruth saw him come back, she beckoned him over. “Come here.”Abel went over to her and stared at the empty bottle on the table. He frowned. “You’re drunk.”“I’m the queen of nightclubs. There’s no way I’d get drunk that easily.”She tilted her head to the side and slouched

    She tumbled backward, and her movements were so great that she fell off the bed. “Ack!” she cried out. With one sweeping motion, she grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself. As she stared at the stupidly handsome face in bed, all she could think about was her best friend telling her that the gigolo did not want to marry her. So…“Who are you?”Since she grabbed the blanket, the person in bed was fully naked. The lines of his abs were prominent on his lean and firm waist, and when she looked down… The man propped up his head in a lackadaisical fashion, and a smile bloomed on his handsome face. His eyes were smiling as well, and he said in a deep voice, “Are you so eager to deny our relationship that you’re going to do it before even putting on your clothes and walking out, Honey?”He called her his honey so naturally that Ruth’s face burned, and she looked away awkwardly. Meanwhile, Serenity started screeching, and it made Ruth unable to ignore the situation in

    Ruth shook her head and sized him up seriously once more. “Pardon my rudeness, but what do you do?”“I’m a businessman.”“A businessman? And you want to earn this sort of money too?”Ruth was in disbelief. Even her tone changed at the end of her question. Abel nodded and answered seriously. “A dime is still money, and if you get loads of it, you’ll be rich in the end. Haven’t you heard of this before?”Ruth was rendered speechless, but she would be an absolute idiot if she believed in him. She wanted to continue asking questions, but her phone rang at that moment. She took a look at the number, and her expression became slightly more serious. Then, she walked out of the bedroom with her phone in hand. ......When Ruth got the transfer agreement the day before, she did not hurry to the company. Instead, she got a person to investigate Lockton Entertainment’s revenue over the past few years. She logged into her email, and pages of data appeared before her eyes. Then, she

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?

    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!
