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.

    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

    After getting a new person to act as her support, Luna had to come brag about it to Ruth.However, Ruth was also not someone to be trifled with. No matter who tried to snatch what was hers, whether it was Nicholas or Abel, she would not back down… Then again, Abel was rich. Maybe she would consider it if it were him.Her phone rang at that moment. Ruth casually picked it up and answered the call.“Hello?”“Have you gotten off work? I’m downstairs.”The familiar husky voice was a little sexier after passing through the phone. Ruth stopped moving her fingers and looked at the time. “Mr. Blakewell, are you not busy? I remember that you used to take your job seriously. You always went to work early in the morning and returned late at night. You also had video conferences at midnight.”Even though she woke up at noon, he did not go to the company, but sent her to work personally. It was not 6 p.m. yet, and he already came to pick her up from work.“Call me Honey,” Abel corrected he

    In the car downstairs, Abel looked at the blacked-out screen and smiled lightly.He put away his phone and stopped smiling. Then, he raised his head and said to Kallan, “Tell Mr. Thompson that Nicholas’s proposal is very average. I don’t have high hopes for it.”Kallan was stunned for a moment.Nicholas had been busy with a project in Cloud City lately. He cooperated with the Thompson family, who was well-known locally, to complete the project.At the last charity dinner, Nicholas made a lot of contacts and tried his best to get the help of other people. He was in a critical period, which would affect whether he could sign a contract successfully.Kallan hesitated and said, “Your grandfather has high hopes for this cooperation.” Abel did not care. “I also have high hopes for the development of Lockton Entertainment. He did something he shouldn’t do, so he has to pay the price.”Kallan knew it would be pointless to dissuade Abel. “Understood.”……As soon as Ruth walked out of

    Ruth was stunned.Abel’s words sounded familiar.It was what she said when she went to Grand Empire to pick him up from work for the first time.She said she did not need a reason to pick her husband up from work.“When I went to Grand Empire to pick you up from work, you weren’t in Grand Empire, were you? You also didn’t ask Joseph to give me flowers. He did that to buy you some time so that you could rush over. Am I right?”Abel said nothing.Sometimes, Ruth was so clumsy that she gave him a headache, but sometimes, she was so smart that it terrified him.He pondered for a moment. “Let bygones be bygones. I won’t blame you for overthinking and avoiding me, and you won’t look into this matter, okay?”Ruth looked at him. “You’re good at bargaining, Mr. Blakewell.”“What did you call me?” Abel said in a low voice and rubbed her slender waist suggestively.Ruth froze for a moment. Then, she stopped his hand. “Stop it. I still have work.”Abel held her tightly in his arms and s

    Ruth calmed down and said seriously, “You know me. I care about my reputation a lot, and I don’t want to be looked down upon by people who like me. The gap between us is huge, and I know it. However, I’ll try my best to keep up with you. I hope that one day, I can stand side by side with you and face all the challenges together with you instead of being protected by you and being someone who can do nothing.”After saying that, she looked straight at him.They stared into each other’s eyes. They were so close that they could hear the sound of the other’s breathing and heartbeat.Badump! Badump! Badump!Ruth felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.Abel was right in front of her. When she could hardly hold herself back, Abel said, “What about you?”Ruth was stunned for a moment. “Huh?”Abel looked at her and rubbed her chest. “How do you feel about me?”She said she cared about her reputation and did not want to be looked down upon by people who liked her.However

    At that moment, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside. A red Maserati parked itself in the courtyard. When Luna came in, she saw three people sitting in the living room. When Jasper saw her outfit, his eyes instantly lit up. “Did you just come back from Mr. Nicholas’s house?”Her nightgown was identical to the one in the photos that had just been uploaded online. The paparazzi were really up to date. “How did you know?” Luna did indeed only wear a nightgown, but she also wore a long trench coat on top of it because she had numerous marks on her arms and legs. She was worried about how she was going to return home looking like that. After Jasper’s words, she instinctively pulled the trench coat tighter around herself and stared at him warily. Jasper looked smug. “Everyone already knows that Mr. Nicholas is trying to win your heart.”Luna fell silent. When Jasper showed the photos on his phone, Luna smiled. Nicholas might act like a gentleman, but he had some

    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!
