Chapter 354

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
That incident had indeed impacted him quite a bit. But it had nothing to do with Katie. At most, she was the cause of it, but things had then developed in a manner that went against everyone’s predictions.

Everyone around Abel, including Apollo, thought that Katie was special to him, so they carefully made sure that they never gossiped about it because they were worried that it would trigger him.

He knew what they were thinking, but he just could not be bothered explaining what he really thought to them.

However, this embarrassing event had caused Ruth’s mind to run wild, so he believed that he had to explain to her what had really happened.

“I see.” Ruth came to an understanding. “I thought…”

Abel looked at her coolly. “You thought what? You thought that there’s something between Katie and I in the past and even now? And that I had even shamelessly decided to keep it a secret from you?”

“Um…”

Even though that was really what she thought, Ruth still felt awkward when Abel sai

    Someone knocked on their car window. Ruth immediately became aware of her surroundings and moved quickly to the door.Abel froze. Then, he wound down the car window and glared at the perpetrator. Kallan still had his phone in hand. When he saw how displeased his boss was because he had obviously been c*ckblocked, his heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and pointed at his phone. “Mr. Blakewell, they’re already asking where you are.”Ruth quickly answered for Abel, “Got it. Let’s go.” ……As usual, the family gathering was held at the Sky Hotel. When Ruth and Abel arrived at the venue where the family gathering was held, it was already past 8 p.m.. They were, without a doubt, the last to arrive.“You sure kept a mysterious front, Ruth. Many of our elders have been looking forward to meeting you, and you’ve only just arrived. I suppose even if you’re an hour late, it’s nothing.” A clear voice brought the underlying tension within them to light. It was Coral. Due

    It seemed that Frank was very dissatisfied with Ruth.Ruth chuckled. “I didn’t know that you’re the head of the Blakewell family, Coral! I apologize for being rude just now. Please don’t take my words to heart.”Coral was stunned for a moment. She was bewildered by the sudden change in Ruth’s attitude. However, she also became more cautious.After stealing a discreet glance at Frank, she raised her voice and retorted, “What on earth are you saying?!”Ruth raised her eyebrows. “Am I wrong? You just asked me why I had the gall to come here when I had never heard of you before. Doesn’t that mean that you have a higher standing than your grandfather? This is a family gathering. Aren’t we here to eat and chat with your grandfather? Your grandfather doesn’t mind us being late, but you still picked on us and even wished to kick us out! “If you’re not the head of the family, what right do you have to say such things before he does?”Ruth’s words made Coral’s expression change. Everyon

    “You bought those sports cars in the company’s name, so it’s reasonable for the company to take them back.”“No! You can’t—”“I’m the head of the Blakewell family, so I have the power to make decisions. Since you dare to be rude to my wife, you should be prepared to face the consequences.” Abel’s voice was calm and emotionless.When Coral met Abel’s gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to refute but did not dare to. She knew very well that if Abel got angry, he had the power to take back everything she had.Even if Nicholas tried to stop him, nothing would change.Coral glared at Ruth fiercely and turned to her parents for help.George and Medina were also shocked when they heard Abel’s words. They secretly glanced at Frank, who sat at the main table.Frank’s expression had also darkened. He glared at Abel and Ruth fiercely and wished to cut them to pieces.Seeing Frank’s reaction, Medina wanted to add fuel to the fire, but Nicholas stopped her and said, “We’re a family.

    Seeing that Frank did not intend to pursue the matter, Lyla immediately asked in a warm manner for Abel and Ruth to sit down.The quarrel had ended, but Frank still wanted to establish his power. He would not move on without doing so.After Ruth and Abel sat down, Frank said, “Coral, Nicholas said that you took a fancy to a car a few days ago, but it’s temporarily out of stock in the country, right?”Coral was still angry. When she heard Frank’s question, she gloomily said, “Yeah.”Frank glanced at Abel and casually said, “Which model is it? You can tell Liam later. He’ll ask the brand to send you one immediately.”Coral’s eyes brightened. “Grandpa, are you serious?!”“Of course! You’re already an adult. You can buy cars in your name. On top of that, you won’t have to buy them in the company’s name anymore.”Coral smiled awkwardly and said nothing.The cars Coral collected were all limited-edition luxury cars. Even the cheapest one would cost at least ten million.She could no

    In comparison to Lyla and Gabriel, George and his family looked happy. Medina almost got carried away, and she gazed at Frank expectantly.Frank did not let her down. He talked about Nicholas’ achievements in detail and praised him. Finally, he made the announcement. “I’ve decided to let Nicholas inherit Delilah’s shares!”Medina instantly smiled. “Nicholas is diligent and not as high-profile as the others. I thought he would get the short end of the stick since he never asked for help, but it seems like I was narrow-minded. Dad, thank you for giving him this chance. I’m sure he will do better!”“It’s Nicholas’s honor to have Dad’s trust. Nicholas, hurry up and thank your grandfather for letting you inherit the shares,” George hurriedly said.“Everyone knows how hard Nicholas has worked for the company. Grandpa knows, too.” Dillon sounded triumphant.“Yeah. Nicholas deserves it!” Coral also spoke excitedly.Nicholas’s family were all happy for him. However, Nicholas was calm. He

    The room was as silent as a grave. Everyone could even hear their own breathing.Gabriel had been biting his lip for many years. It was the first time he objected to Frank’s decision, and Gabriel did not plan to back down. “If you insist on doing as you like, I, along with the company’s shareholders, will object to your decision.”Bang!Frank slammed his glass down on the table. He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Gabriel. “What did you say? I didn’t hear that clearly. Can you repeat yourself?”Gabriel knew Frank best. He knew the real meaning behind Frank’s questions.Frank had actually heard what Gabriel said. When he asked Gabriel to repeat himself, he was giving Gabriel a chance to take his words back.If it were the past, Gabriel might have cowardly taken his words back. However, he would not do so after seeing what happened to Abel during this period. Abel was treated unfairly because he chose his own wife.Even though they were Ruth’s elders, they had set her up and trie

    Ruth’s gaze sent a chill up Frank’s spine.His face burned, as if someone had slapped him hard twice. He became angry. Even his hand was trembling as he pointed at Ruth. “You have no manners...”Ruth took another teacup and played with it. “Not only do I have no manners, but I’m also violent! If you don’t believe it, you can try and see for yourself.” Frank immediately shut up.Luna glanced around and quickly went to stand in front of Frank with an expression that showed her loyalty.She bravely said, “Ruth, vent your anger at me however you like, but please don’t hurt Grandpa.”Ruth looked at Luna’s hypocritical action and snorted lightly. She put the teacup down and walked outside.The teacup spun several rounds on the table and rolled to the carpet with a dull sound.Abel had been watching Ruth the moment she threw the teacup. He did not stop her and did not get anxious. On the contrary, he was a little amused.He looked at her in a relaxed manner to see how far she would

    Ruth looked at Abel in surprise. Although he had a serious expression, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.She had been feeling tense and anxious since she left the hotel. When she noticed that Abel was joking, she immediately relaxed.However, she was still in disbelief. She confirmed with Abel again. “You’re not angry?”Abel casually and calmly said, “Why should I get angry? Do you think I’m an ungrateful person?”He was happy that Ruth stood up for him.After Ruth learned of his identity and that he was no longer her sugar baby, she still subconsciously protected him like before. Since he could not stop her from protecting him, he thought he might as well gladly accept it.What was there to be angry about?“I’ve offended your grandfather for sure.” Ruth pursed her lips. She used a cotton swab to disinfect the wounds and reviewed the situation rationally.Abel nodded. “But the situation did not get worse because you managed to pull Mom and Dad to our side. That’s a s

    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!
