Abel had said just a few days ago that she could do whatever she wanted because he liked her being prideful and aloof.

And what happened? He just blackmailed her with the project and asked her to help him pack up.

He even said something as stupid as it feeling domestic.

She did not think it was domestic in the slightest.

She only felt that she did not have a lot of power in the family.

Ruth pouted. While she was busy criticizing Abel in her heart, his hands started moving again. “Mrs. Greenwell can pack up for us later. Let’s do something else,” he said in a rough voice.

Ruth turned her head away to avoid his kiss and rejected his advances while whispering in displeasure, “We have to wake up early tomorrow.”

To that, Abel just narrowed his eyes and looked at her. He then started tempting her like a snake. “But we’re not going to see each other for a long time because of our business trips. Aren’t you going to miss me?”

Ruth fell silent.

She looked up, and, when she saw

    The driver’s hands jerked in shock. Since he was holding onto the steering wheel, the car jerked as well. Then, Kallan saved Ruth from her predicament. He said respectfully, “Mr. Blakewell, Mrs. Blakewell, we’ve reached the hotel.”“Oh. Okay,” Ruth answered.The woman—Kaylen—was a little confused by Ruth’s rapid fire mentions of “your husband” and “my husband”. “You could have just told me that you’re not in big trouble, you know. Do you need me to come back sooner?”“Your husband is just using me as an excuse to make you come back because he misses you. It’s your call whether you want to come back sooner or not.” Ruth did not care either way. “Haha! My husband was right! He said that you’re stubborn and won’t admit that you need me. But I’m a kind person, so I’m coming back the day after tomorrow. Remember to pick me up!”…Really?Birds of a feather do flock together. The two were as stubborn as mules, but they always insisted that Ruth was the stubborn one. Fine. She wou

    Abel went still. Ruth’s body was soft, but her personality was anything but. She was prideful and cared too much about her dignity. However, whenever she shed her prideful facade in front of him, his heart melted. The morning sun shone through the french window and into her bright eyes. It made them shine brilliantly. It felt as if all of her loving tenderness was for him alone. His pupils dilated, and he hugged her a little tighter. But Ruth slithered her way out of his embrace like an agile snake and stepped to the side. “Off you go. I’ll be leaving in a bit. Don’t wait for me for lunch!”Abel stared at his hands and the empty spot between them. He chuckled. “Take Eilam with you.”Eilam Black was the bodyguard Abel assigned to her. Ever since the fiasco with Dillon, he stayed by her side whenever she went out. Eilam had a stoic face 24/7 and did not show any emotion. He did not seem to have any hobbies either. He was also really quiet and practically had the words “I’m

    While they were on their way to the company, Ruth read up on the place. Eilam was the one who provided the report. Hence, she asked him questions whenever she saw things she could not understand, but his response was always the same: “The details are at the back”.Suddenly, Ruth shut the folder and asked, “Have you read the report?” Eilam stilled for a moment, then grunted in reply. Ruth shut her eyes and leaned against the back of the seat. “Good. Give me a simple description of the company. Abel said you’re good at analyzing information.”The underlying meaning was this: I don’t believe you, so I’m going to test you. Eilam’s expression darkened, and the atmosphere in the car grew tense.No one had ever doubted his skills before, not even Abel. Ruth thought. “He does have a unique work background, alright. You don’t notice him when he’s not talking, but, when he’s angry, he’s pretty intimidating.“Not bad. At least he’s not that impassive anymore and is no longer pretend

    In the few days that Eilam had been accompanying Ruth, the place they frequented the most was Lockton Entertainment.His responsibilities included carrying her bag, doing all sorts of errands, and driving her around. He just stood around like a camera and recorded her every move.Then, he reported it all to Abel.Honestly, it was boring.He used to be Abel’s personal bodyguard and the head of all of his bodyguards. This meant he was not only responsible for Abel’s safety, but also had to deal with some confidential business documents.The things and people he dealt with every day were at the top of the pyramid.He was overqualified to work for Ruth.In the days since he was reassigned, he hoped that Abel would rescind his order and transfer him back to his original position, but it never happened. So, when he heard Ruth say she could ask Abel to transfer him back, he was tempted, but also a little confused.Was this another test? “No need. I’ll follow Mr. Blakewell’s arrangem

    Ruth thought that they would be secretly slacking off, but it seemed like she had underestimated them.“Mr. Hollis, you have Lady Luck on your side today! You won half of my monthly salary in one morning!”“Angela, your words didn’t sound pleasant to the ear. It’s our honor to have Mr. Hollis in our game! You can get whatever you want if you serve him well!”“Yeah. Mr. Goldwell values Mr. Hollis a lot. He invests in the company simply for Mr. Hollis’s sake.”“I’m sorry for being narrow-minded. Please don’t mind what I said, Mr. Hollis.”The group continued to fawn over Brendon.The man with his back to the door was leaning against a chair in a lazy and casual posture.He shook off the ashes from his cigarette, then put it back in his mouth. “Let’s continue. Everyone will get a raise of ten thousand dollars next month!”The others were overjoyed. “Thank you, Mr. Hollis! You’re so generous!”Ruth thought the person Callum valued would know his stuff. She did not expect him to be

    Ruth sneered and looked at Brendon and Angela coldly.Brendon was extremely anxious.It was bad enough that he was caught gambling during work hours, but such a misunderstanding was even worse.Brendon was shocked when he heard Angela’s words. Before he could reprimand her, Ruth said, “I didn’t know that the staff of a subsidiary of Lockton Corporation have such relationships. Mr. Hollis, please tell her who I am.”Her cold voice showed that she was enraged.Brendon’s heart jumped to his throat, and he hurriedly introduced Ruth. “This is Miss Ruth, the daughter of Mr. Goldwell. What nonsense are you guys talking about? That’s not something you should joke about!”Angela’s face turned pale.Everyone fell silent.Ruth was in no mood to observe the changes in their expressions. She walked inside and casually ordered, “Everyone goes out except you. Remember to close the door.”The people began moving.Those who played poker or watched the others play ran out.Only Brendon stood

    There was information on all the drugs except for the two Ruth looked for.“Are all the documents here?” Ruth asked while casually flipping through the documents.Brendon looked at Ruth’s expression nervously. When he heard her question, he hurriedly answered, “Yes. All the documents are here. Is there something wrong?”Ruth looked away from the computer screen and looked at him.She pondered.She thought that her sudden visit would catch Brendon off guard. Unfortunately, she was still too late.However, her visit was not fruitless.Since Callum let Brendon take care of the pharmaceutical company, it meant that Brendon knew nothing about it. He was only a scapegoat. However, Brendon kept avoiding Ruth’s questions, so he was hiding something. But what could he know?Was the data transfer done by Callum or by him?He did not seem to be smart enough to transfer the data. Who was he colluding with?Ruth threw the mouse to the table and sized him up. “Brendon, can you tell me wh

    Half an hour later, Ruth walked out seeing a totally different atmosphere than before.The receptionist had changed into formal attire and professionally stood at the desk. Many people passed through the hall in a hurry. Ruth could see the wide and orderly work area through the transparent glass. All the staff was busy working.The sight of them working carefully made Ruth suspect that everything she saw when she first came in was just a dream.However, the tension that could not be hidden on the receptionist’s face proved that it was no dream.Ruth stood in the hall and sneered. Then, she walked out of the company.She waited for Eilam for a long time in the car before he returned.He opened the door and got into the car. Then, he immediately reported to Ruth. “Mrs. Blakewell, I went to the factory in the back, and it was full of undisposed garbage and unfinished materials. However, the production area is kept clean, so I couldn’t find the two drugs you were looking for.”Ruth

    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!
