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
They did not sleep until she thought of the day to whisper in his ear what she had learned in the first video she watched. Abel did fall into her trap, but he had already run out of energy, so he surrendered.The next day, Ruth slept until noon despite it being a work day. The space beside her was empty, though.If it were not for the pain in some unmentionable places and her sore body, she would have thought that the night was just a dream.The bedroom door was open, and a handsome man walked in. “Are you awake? It’s time for lunch. Should we have it in the room, or should I help you get dressed?”Ruth did not answer.She did not want to talk to Abel. However, she felt that it was embarrassing to get angry because of this kind of thing.She pretended to get up from the bed easily, but her movements were too much, and she gasped in pain. “Hiss!”Abel quickly stepped forward and supported her by the shoulders.Then, they looked at a part of the bed sheet in unison.It had a few
Ruth was puzzled. “When?”Abel did not bother to help her recall that day. He just stared into her eyes and emphasized it once again. The reason he did not tell her his identity was because he was worried that she would be angry with him.Ruth was in disbelief. “But you said you suspected that I had ulterior motives.”“That was just the beginning. You really weren’t listening.”Ruth spluttered.“Although taking care of my wife is a matter of course, if you think you’ll owe me favors for it, I can’t force you to take it,” Abel indifferently said. He stretched his slender fingers to the bank card Ruth was holding.Ruth twisted her wrist and pulled her hand away from his. “You can’t take back what you gave me.”She put the bank card into the pocket of the loungewear and muttered unnaturally, “Besides, this is the second time you gave it to me. It would be disrespectful of me if I didn’t take it.”Seeing the familiar attitude, Abel smiled in satisfaction.He rubbed her head. “Let’
Abel became interested when he heard “Lockton Entertainment,” but the sentence that followed its name made him frown. “What does Nicholas want?”The president of Eternal Corporation, Mr. Hamilton, was surprised. “You don’t know? Nicholas intends to acquire Lockton Entertainment. The news just came out this morning!”The news was circulated in the industry, and those who planned to invest in Lockton Entertainment changed their mind.They all speculated about Blakewell Corporation’s plan.Mr. Hamilton was also nervous. He planned to transfer the money to Lockton Entertainment before the news came out.He was relieved that he did not act rashly.“Blakewell Corporation is not interested in Lockton Entertainment. Mr. Hamilton, it’s a good thing that you want to make a stand, but you need to figure out the situation first,” Abel said. “I have to leave now, so please excuse me.”Abel left the room.Mr. Hamilton was puzzled and panicked.Kallan was behind Abel. Before he left, he kind
Mr. Herbert’s expression darkened. He wanted to refute Cyrus but did not know what to say.Nathan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and corrected Cyrus softly, “The Lockton family only has one young lady. Lockton Entertainment belongs to Miss Ruth. It has nothing to do with the Goldwell family.”His calm tone made the expressions of Luna and Cyrus darken.Cyrus snapped. “Who do you think you are? After Nicholas buys over the company, I’ll fire you first!”Thud!It was the sound of a metal signature pen falling on the table.Cyrus subconsciously turned his head and looked toward the desk. When he saw Ruth’s cold gaze, he could not help but shiver.“You also know that what you said will only happen after Nicholas buys over the company. Until someone from the Blakewell Corporation comes here, Lockton Entertainment belongs to me! Who gave you the right to cause a ruckus at my place?”“You!”“Security, come to my office,” Ruth said to an intercom.Luna was not angered b
