Chapter 344

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Callum jumped up excitedly from the couch and started pacing about in the living room. “That’s great! It’s wonderful news! These are two great pieces of news for us! When are you two coming back? I’ll meet you two with your mo—”

“It’s late now, Dad. We won’t be going back tonight.”

“Ah, of course. Silly me. Have fun on your wedding night. Just remember to come home tomorrow!”

Once he hung up, Bella went forward and asked him what happened. She had heard Callum talk about a wedding night, so her daughter must have gotten her wish.

Feeling giddy, Callum told the butler that his new son-in-law was coming over tomorrow, and that they were to prepare his welcome. He only told Bella about the two joyful occasions that were set in stone after he was done instructing the butler.

Bella was not as surprised and disbelieving as he expected, however. She just sighed. “I knew she could do it.”

Once he got over his excitement, Callum lamented. “It’s all thanks to Luna that we were able to hi

    The entire family sat down happily in the living room. Nicholas had a gentle smile practically plastered onto his face. This was his first time meeting Luna’s parents, but he was very friendly with him, as though he had known them for a long time. He was quite a smooth talker and put Luna on a high pedestal. Callum and Bella were beaming. “Since you’re so good to Luna, we are perfectly fine with letting you marry her.”Nicholas nodded modestly. “I’m sorry for making you two worry. I should have come to meet you sooner, but Luna said that the time wasn’t right. It’s because I can finally meet you two that we came so early in the morning to see you.”Luna took over the conversation naturally. “It’s still early, though. I haven’t even finished getting ready.”Nicholas held her hand and whispered dotingly to her, “We’re already married. It’s not like we’re asking them for permission to get married. Do you really need to dress up to meet your own parents?”Luna rolled her eyes and

    Callum remained stunned for a few seconds. He could not wrap his head around what Nicholas had said. But he did feel that while Nicholas always appeared to be a polite gentleman, he was really aggressive. A strange thought appeared in his head. Suddenly, Callum had a feeling that Nicholas might have married his daughter for Seema. In the end, Callum did not agree to the collaboration. He only told Nicholas that he needed to speak with the board of directors about this before he changed the topic. After breakfast, Callum and Bella saw Nicholas off, but they had Luna stay back. When they were alone in the living room, Callum asked, “Luna, be honest with me. Did you get into some sort of agreement with Nicholas? You two did get married in a hurry…”Luna was briefly taken aback before she grumbled, “What on earth are you saying? I’m not like Ruth. I don’t treat my marriage as a bargaining chip.”Callum was relieved to hear that. Then, he earnestly gave Luna some advice. He told h

    He changed the conversation topic awkwardly. “We’re done with the procedure to make Lockton Entertainment a publicly listed company. We were supposed to have a party to celebrate the event, but the headquarters has just hired an internationally renowned jeweler, and they’re going to throw a welcoming party for them next week. Our schedules clashed with each other—”“We don’t have to answer to any headquarters.” Ruth interrupted him. Mr. Herbert explained, “Lockton Entertainment still belongs to Lockton Corporation at the end of the day. Becoming a publicly listed company is a huge deal. We need the headquarters to come forward and organize the party on our behalf.”Ruth said coolly, “Lockton Entertainment no longer belongs to Lockton Corporation after I took it over. Just organize the celebratory party. You don’t have to talk to them.”Mr. Herbert was shocked by her words. He had been quite happy when the company was publicly listed, but, when he reported it to the headquarters, t

    Five minutes later, Demi and Apollo both showed up at Ruth’s office door. “Hello! I got here first! That means I get to go in first!”“Do you even know the pecking order here? I joined the company first. I’m your senior. Is that how you talk to your senior? You even want to go in before me? You want to get fired, don’t you?”“Yeah, sure. Go on and ask my BESTIE to put me on the shelf! Go on! I dare you!”“I’m going in right now! Move!”“Why should I?! I got here first! I’m going in before you!”“So long as I’m still here, I won’t let some witch get into Ruth’s office ahead of me!”As Ruth listened to the lame conversation outside, she massaged her temples. It was no wonder why Mr. Herbert could not handle them. She spoke up and interrupted the argument outside. “Could you two not be so lame? Whoever gets into my office later isn’t going to die, you know?” Demi yelled with an air of self-righteousness, “You don’t understand! This brat just keeps competing against me in eve

    “Have you read the script I asked Mr. Herbert to show you?”“I did. But I’m not working with this troublesome rich brat. I won’t entertain any discussions about it,” Demi said bluntly as she denied the suggestion of acting together with Apollo. In a rare blue moon moment, Apollo agreed with her. “Same here. I can’t work with her, either.”Ruth decided to start with Apollo. “Why not?”Apollo snorted. “Her acting is only so-so, but she keeps nitpicking mine. If it weren’t for Solomon, I would have quit the Gate to the Heart long ago!”“Stop making it sound like you’re the only one suffering out of the two of us. I’m tired of you, too! You’re so fussy with your personal habits! I’ve tolerated you for far too long!”“Fine, then! Don’t work with me anymore!”The office fell silent. Ruth stared at Demi and Apollo, who had both crossed their arms over their chests and turned their heads away from each other. She cocked her eyebrow in amusement. She picked up her cup, took a sip, a

    Apollo spent a few seconds spluttering, but he still did not manage to form a complete sentence. Ruth observed his expressions quietly and added regretfully, “The best combination is naturally the both of you. Besides, your fans do look forward to you two working together. But I can’t just go against your wishes and force you guys to do something you don’t want to.”Apollo hesitated a little. “It’s not like I especially don’t want to work with her…”“But she doesn’t want to work with you.”“Why?!”“Exactly. She’d rather work with Lamont Wolf than with you, and I’d like to remind you that she doesn’t even know him. What’s the grudge between you two?”Apollo pursed his lips and said nothing. Ruth continued on, “Lamont Wolf joined the company together with Demi. His greatest wish is to work with her. He even visited her when Demi went to film a show in a mountain. He asked about her well-being and was really concerned about her—”“No!” Apollo shot to his feet and wanted to run o

    Ruth could not understand it. “Why didn’t she turn up when your grandfather arranged for them to go on a date? She even asked someone to take her place.”Apollo got worked up. “She betrayed Abel! How could she still meet him after that?!”“How did she betray Abel?”Apollo quickly zipped his mouth shut when he saw Ruth’s puzzled gaze. He knew it. His brother really did not tell Ruth about it. He let his tongue slip again. Ruth started deducing the situation in a cool voice. “Someone can only betray another person if they have some kind of relationship with each other. If Abel didn’t have any relationship with her, how could she have betrayed him? If they did have some sort of relationship with each other, what kind of relationship was it? I highly doubt they treated each other like siblings.”“No... Wait! It’s not what you think it is. Strictly speaking, she’s also a victim…” Apollo wanted to explain what had happened but seemed to have a hard time saying certain things. He kept

    The moment Ruth heard Abel tell her to get out of the car, she automatically puffed out her chest and squared her shoulders, and she became a formidable woman again. She turned to Abel with disbelieving eyes. Were all powerful bosses such dictators? Was she not even allowed to express her emotions anymore?“Get out, huh? Fine!”She would be an idiot if she made up with him so easily again!Her mind was racing at three hundred miles per hour. Her face was red with anger, and it was as if there was fire burning in her eyes. She grabbed the handle and wanted to open the door... ...But Abel just grabbed her wrist and stopped her. Ruth snarled like a cat who had her tail stepped on. “What’re you doing now?! You asked me to get down, didn’t you?! I’m doing it right now! It’s not as if I want to get in your car, and it’s not as if I want you to pick me up, either! Did you actually think that I really wanted to go back with you and let a bunch of strangers stare at me like I’m 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!
