Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife Chapter 227
He did as he promised. Ruth saw all that he did to make it up to her. All the things he did to get into her good graces made her feel ashamed to ask him for parking fees. She could only secretly offset it for him in her heart. “You’ve already given me enough. I’m honored to receive the treatment of the richest man’s wife,” Ruth said coolly and put her arm on his chest to maintain a distance. Abel looked down and stared at her for a long time before he sighed softly and kissed her forehead. “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. If you need any help, go to Joseph.”Ruth was really averse to his affection, but her eyes lit up when she heard that he was leaving. “How long will you be away?”“For around five days,” Abel said gently.She was slightly disappointed. “Five?”“Yes. I’ll try my best to finish work as soon as possible so that I can—”“You don’t have to!” Ruth waved her hand. “There’s no hurry. Besides, it’s better to be more meticulous at work. Once you’re done, you c

He made it up to her by giving her things, and she helped keep his secret. Their marriage could now be maintained in this manner. Wasn’t that enough?There was no need for him to pretend to be kind and considerate to throw her heart into confusion. “Me? Acting? What exactly am I doing that you think is unnecessary? And how exactly am I acting?” Abel narrowed his eyes. “Those things you said just now. They’re not necessary.” Ruth grew stern. “We only got married to get what we need, and thus, we just need to live in harmony. Your fake concern and deliberate acts of intimacy are not within the contract. I’m not in the mood nor have the duty to act with you.”As she spoke, she wiped her forehead, as if she wanted to wipe off the mark he left on her. Her words and actions reminded Abel of the kiss he gave. The helplessness he felt toward Ruth giving him the cold-shoulder had turned into him trying to appease her and showing that he would miss her when he left. He tried to convi

Ruth’s mind was in clouds, and she only belatedly realized this was what he meant when he said that she would know once she tried. Abel did not do anything else. He only buried his head in the crook of her neck as his chest heaved. “You said that we got to know each other after living together all this time, didn’t you? Did you actually think that I would waste my time putting on an act before someone who is of no importance to me?“You never even asked me whether I liked men and just decided that I did based on rumors and the image you cooked up of me based on those same rumors.“I must say, it must have been really hard for you to maintain the marriage with that belief, considering the fact that you’d have to endure great humiliation to do so.”Once he said that, he pulled back, got up, and headed to the washroom. The sound of flowing water rose. Ruth laid on the bed in the same position as before while she stared at the ceiling. All she could think of were his words just now.

The apology came abruptly, but Abel understood what she was trying to convey. When she woke up after she got drunk, he apologized to her. After his explanation, he asked what she had to say. She apologized reluctantly, threw a tantrum, and left after slamming the door shut. This time, she was as aloof and indifferent as ever, as if it was a casual remark on her part, but her rapidly fluttering eyelashes betrayed her nervousness. Since she had just woken up, her voice was a little lethargic and soft, which made her sound like she was acting cute. Her long hair spilled over her shoulders, and the straps of her nightgown slid off her shoulders. Abel had no resistance against how defenseless she looked. He grabbed her hand. Ruth instinctively looked up and saw his deep-set, black eyes. “For being a good girl who acknowledges her mistakes and takes responsibility for them, you should be rewarded,” he said. “Rewarded?” Ruth was puzzled. Abel nodded and fixed his eyes on her

“Something would, actually, but to you only, because you wouldn’t be paying your parking fees.”Pearl was rendered speechless. “If you have nothing else to say, I’m hanging up. I’m busy, you know?” Ruth said and wanted to hang up. “Wait! I have something else to say!” Pearl hurriedly stopped her. She did not call Ruth just to complain and check whether she had called her dad. There was something else more important. “We’re now kind-of friends, right?”Ruth did not reply and just waited for Pearl to continue. “My birthday is the day after tomorrow, and I’m throwing a party. Remember to come!”Ruth said nothing. ……Lockton Entertainment released news that they were fortunate enough to form a long-term partnership with Harper Williams. The industry burst into a ruckus. Harper Williams was the most mysterious independent investor in the entertainment industry and never worked with any company. She had also never attended any of Sommerset’s events. But Lockton Entertainm

It was 7 p.m..The Harlem family mansion was brightly lit up. The garden was filled with all sorts of champagne, food, fruits, and desserts. All sorts of colorful lights hung on the trees, and the melodious sound of violins rang in the air. Pearl was Albert’s only daughter, and he doted on her, which was why he organized a party for her birthday every year. This year, she was twenty-four, and her birthday party was even more special. Not only did the Harlem family invite her friends, they also invited quite a number of famous people from within the entertainment industry. There were also quite a number of rich men who were of marrying age. Clearly, this party was meant to find a suitable marriage partner for Pearl. But Pearl did not notice it nor did she care about finding a partner. She wore a purple Lolita dress and a few bracelets on her wrists. When she moved, they made clinking sounds. She held a champagne flute in one hand and a phone in the other. Meanwhile, her e

Luna politely answered the questions from the people around her before she said to Pearl, “Don’t listen to Serena. I’m just good friends with Nicholas. After learning that you’re celebrating your birthday, he even asked me to bring you a gift.”She took out the gift she had prepared and handed it to Pearl in a cordial manner. To the others, there was nothing wrong with her actions, but Pearl could see the boastful look in her eyes. Pearl absolutely hated Luna’s fake behavior…She glared and intended to be rude and unreasonable to the end by throwing her gift to the ground when the sound of a car engine entered the courtyard. A black Maybach came in, and with a beautiful drift, it stopped in the parking lot. Luxury cars and amazing driving skills easily caught people’s attention. Serena was the first to speak. “Luna, Mr. Nicholas picked you up with a Maybach last time. Is that him?”Luna was stunned, and she appeared confused. “I didn’t see the license plate number clearly, b

The people present were either the Harlem family’s friends or business partners. They were not completely out of the loop regarding the Lockton family’s situation. When they heard what Albert said, they understood his position in the matter and agreed to what he said. “Of course. Ms. Ruth, you’re like Mr. George when he was younger. We look forward to what you will achieve.”Ruth said nothing, but she did look at the middle-aged man standing in front of her. Her image of him had not changed since she saw him when she was a child. He always had a smile on his round face, which made him look like a Samoyed, and he always brought a lot of gifts to her whenever he came to visit. But, after her mother passed away and Callum took over Lockton Corporation, she seldom saw him anymore. She thought that they were no longer close to each other, but what he said just now made her think that they were still as close as when she was younger. Ruth felt warmth bloom in her heart, and 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!
