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

    Serena could not help but speak up for Luna. “How could you be so ungrateful? Luna came to celebrate your birthday with you, and she even brought Mr. Nicholas’s gift for you! Are you being rude to him?”Once she mentioned the Blakewell family, everyone started agreeing with what she said. They stood by Luna and tried to persuade Pearl not to be so mean to her. After all, she was someone Nicholas liked. When Ruth heard this, she looked at Luna in slight surprise. “Nicholas Blakewell?”Luna put on a look that made her seem a little guilty and attempted to explain their relationship, though she kept some parts of it secret. “I’m just friends with Mr. Nicholas. He asked me to bring a gift on his behalf when he heard that I’m attending a friend’s party.”As she spoke, she took out the gift box again. It was a small box that had Kismet Jewelry’s logo on it. Luna opened it straightaway and brought it to Pearl’s eyes, as if she was worried that Pearl would reject the gift again. She

    The fake friend beside Pearl also laughed. “Miss Ruth, you’ve made a lot of money. Why are you so stingy with your friend?”“She has made a lot of money, but it doesn’t matter, does it? She still doesn’t earn as much money as Lockton Corporation. How can she compare to Luna?” “Yeah! Luna is a famous celebrity. She can make tens of millions of dollars with a single endorsement!”Ruth said nothing.People were snobs.After Luna mentioned Nicholas, many people became biased toward her.When she casually took out a precious gift, everyone hurriedly fawned over her.Luna smiled even brighter.Ruth ignored everyone and signaled at Pearl with her chin. “Open it and have a look.”Pearl was stunned by Ruth’s sudden act of giving her a gift.Her mind was blank as she subconsciously opened it.It was an exquisite necklace. The pendant was a small crescent decorated with diamonds on the sides. The necklace reflected the clear and bright lights in the garden. Serena leaned over to hav

    While Ruth laughed at Luna, an onlooker found the video of the award show.After careful comparison, the result surprised her. “Kattie really wore it! It was just that the dress she wore was too stunning, so the media’s attention was on the clothes instead of the necklace!”“Oh my goodness! Then what is this?”“Nicholas is very caring. Would he make such a mistake?”“Did Luna lie?”People’s curious gazes made Luna feel embarrassed. She wished to dig a hole and hide in it.However, she could not just leave like this. If she left without explaining, everyone would think she was lying.The necklace was really from Nicholas. She had to do something to make a connection with him. “Maybe he took the wrong one since he was busy. Let me call him and ask about it.”After saying that, she really made a call.Ten minutes later, a black Maybach parked at the door.Luna straightened her back. She could not hide the pride in her voice. “He insisted on coming to pick me up, so I’ll take my

Luna chose the wrong man and suffered several setbacks, then set her eyes on Nicholas and wanted to invest in Lockton Entertainment with his help.She was smart, but she was not honest. If she told Nicholas the truth, he might help her.“Don’t worry. I’ll use my own money. I only want to invest in your name,” Luna quickly explained herself after noticing his silence.“Do you think I would let my woman spend her money?” Nicholas stared at her with a gentle smile.Luna did not answer him and looked at him in puzzlement.Nicholas’s voice was gentle, but it contained a hint of arrogance. “It’s just a small

    The car drove out of the mansion. Roland was a little frustrated. He wanted to use his advantages to impress Ruth, but he left a bad impression at the first step.Ruth did not pay much attention to him. She felt her phone buzzing and picked it up.It was a message from Serenity. Ruth had messaged her at the party to ask her to check Abel’s family.Ruth tapped on Serenity’s message. [You finally want to check out your husband? Didn’t you say a man is a book, and you want to read it slowly? What is it now? Do you suddenly feel anxious?]Ruth could feel Serenity’s teasing through the screen.She calmly corrected her. [Look at my message carefully. I told you to check out the Blakewell family.][Got it. You want me to focus on checking your husband and his family while I’m at it.]She sent another message. [I’ve collected the information a long time ago. I was just waiting for you to get curious. I’ve already sent the information to your email.]Ruth sent a string of dots over.

    It was around 11 p.m..The gate of Kingsland Manor residential area was quiet. There were not many people and vehicles passing by.Only a black Maybach and a Rolls Royce were parked at the gate, and three people were caught up in a drama.Mr. Collis was dumbfounded. He thought. “Are boys nowadays so straightforward? He even said he doesn’t want to work hard anymore.”The window of the Rolls-Royce was wound down, and Ruth could see her husband’s handsome, regal face, which had a proud expression. When she was about to say hello, she heard Roland volunteer to be her sugar baby.She clearly felt a chill coming from the car.She stiffly turned her head and raised her hand to show the wedding ring on her ring finger. “Sorry, but I’m married.”“I don’t mind.”Roland had been paying attention to Ruth since he saw her at the filming location. He had noticed the wedding ring on her ring finger, but did not care.Apollo’s hand did not have a wedding ring. If Apollo could be her sugar ba

    “Don’t let me see him on the screen anymore,” Abel said in a moment.Kallan respectfully replied, “Understood!”The Rolls-Royce drove away. Roland sat on the ground and looked at the rear of the car with shocked eyes.The license plate number was a string of 9s!After they got in the car, Abel’s expression became gloomy. He was not as elegant, confident, and superior as he was in front of Roland. His handsome face was cold.Ruth sat upright and secretly turned to observe his expression. She could not help but complain in her mind. “He changes so fast. His elegance and dignity are for other people.”She pursed her lips and cleared her throat twice. Then, she took the initiative to start the conversation. “Didn’t you say it would take a week? Why did you come back so soon?”“If I didn’t come back, how would I know that you drove my car to bring a celebrity, who was more worry-free and better at serving people, back home?“He didn’t mind that you were married.“He also didn’t min

    Before Ruth could finish her sentence, Abel grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he pinned her against the door.Ruth wanted to say something, but Abel kissed her passionately. He did not get to kiss her to his heart’s content before leaving, so he forcefully kissed her to make up for the loss.He placed her hand on his waist and hugged her tightly.His kiss made Ruth go weak in the knees. She felt dizzy, so she could not help but push him. “Abel…”He moved away a little bit. When he saw Ruth’s teary eyes, the drizzle in his heart gradually turned into heavy rain. The emotions he had been suppressing for a long time were released and set off a storm.He did not plan to let her go. He picked her up into his arms and walked to the bed.Abel put Ruth on the bed and pinned her down. Then, he kissed her again. He lifted her dress and held her slender waist.The hot palm made Ruth’s dizzy head clear a little. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared into the

    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!
