Frank swore he would not show Ruth mercy.As he thought about it, he grew angry and worried. If Ruth dared to threaten him this time, she might really dare to hit him the next time. He tossed and turned all night, and his blood pressure soared. He could not sleep peacefully at all.Luna took on the role of a thoughtful granddaughter-in-law and took care of Frank conscientiously in the hospital the whole night.When Frank woke up the next day, he thought he would see Abel and his entire family standing in a row in the ward to apologize for their mistakes. However, all he saw was Luna’s unfamiliar face, which held a fake smile.“Why are you here?”“Grandpa, Nicholas is worried about you, so he asked me to take care of you. He received a call from Dad just now and went to deal with work.”Frank fell silent with a darkened expression. He wanted to vent his anger, but when he thought of Seema, the woman Lockton Jewelry hired, he swallowed it. Blakewell Jewelry still planned to coopera
Luna walked out of the ward in embarrassment and sat in the corridor.Inferiority shrouded her. When she thought of Katie’s face, which looked like Ruth’s, she could not help but hate her, too.After a long while, Katie opened the ward door and walked out elegantly. Instead of leaving, she walked toward Luna and greeted her respectfully, “Hi. You’re Miss Goldwell, right?”Luna looked at her coldly and did not answer.Katie did not seem to notice Luna’s hostility and explained her actions just now. “Grandpa values his dignity and always acts like a child. All you need to do is to agree with and support everything he says.”She patiently told Luna in a gentle voice about Frank’s living habits and personality traits. At first, Luna thought Katie was flaunting the fact that she knew Frank well. However, she realized she was wrong when she listened to Katie’s tone. Katie seemed to stop by and told Luna only because she saw her.Luna frowned and asked, “Why did you tell me all these t
Blakewell Real Estate was in a mess due to the Acker family’s actions. The senior executives of the company were dissatisfied with Nicholas.They all kept asking about Abel’s whereabouts.Kallan euphemistically revealed Frank’s plan to let Nicholas inherit Delilah’s shares. Since Nicholas would inherit those shares, he needed to deal with all these matters, and Abel could not intervene.The senior executives were shocked after hearing this news and strongly opposed it, causing chaos in the company.Meanwhile, Abel was leisurely staying at home and enjoying Ruth’s meticulous care.Ruth helped him with everything from replying to work emails to helping him eat and drink.One morning, Ruth fed Abel breakfast as usual. She thought of something and said, “I have a party tonight, so I have to leave in the afternoon. I might be home late.”Abel was watching the financial news with his phone using his right hand. When he heard what Ruth said, he looked at her and asked, “A party?”Ruth
Abel froze.His guess was correct. Ruth would never be so considerate all of a sudden.He pursed his lips and pondered for a moment. Then, he took away Ruth’s spoon. “Actually, hurting my left hand won’t affect my ability to use my right hand. I can still eat on my own.”Ruth stared at his hand in surprise. “Are you sure? The nerves of both hands are connected. How can you use your right hand when your left hand is injured?”“Don’t worry. They’re just minor cuts, and my hand is already healed.”“Is it okay for your hand to get wet?”“I think it’ll be okay.”“You think?”“Yeah. If you don’t believe me, you can help me shower tonight.”“F*ck off!”Abel immediately shut up. After the lovely breakfast, Abel’s left hand, which had been unable to move for several days, miraculously healed.To show his gratitude for Ruth, he promised her that he would attend Lockton Entertainment’s celebratory party.Ruth was surprised to learn that he would not attend Lockton Corporation’s welc
Luna explained softly, “Ruth, many members of the Blakewell family will attend the welcoming party, and they all have a bad impression of you. Why don’t you skip today’s party and go back?”“When I handed Lockton Entertainment over to you, the contract clearly stated that you have the right to make all the decisions by yourself. You’re no longer a part of Lockton Corporation, so you don’t have to attend the party,” Callum said coldly. “You know that Seema has a weird personality. Lockton Corporation has spent a lot of effort hiring her. If you offend her, it’ll affect the company! I wouldn’t have to worry if you were as thoughtful as Luna. All right, enough talking. Mr. Tyler, send her back!”Luna and Callum had taken turns to speak, and Callum decided to send Ruth back. Ruth did not even have a chance to say anything.Mr. Tyler heard Callum’s order and walked toward Ruth coldly. He extended his hand to pull Ruth away and said impatiently, “Miss Ruth, please listen to Mr. Goldwell’s
Eilam nodded. “Yeah, they’ve gone too far.”After a pause, he stiffly comforted Ruth, “I think Mr. Blakewell has the invitation to the welcoming party. We can go to the party later.”Ruth gave him a strange look. “Why should I go when I know I’m not welcome?”Eilam was stunned. “You’ll be happy so long as they’re unhappy, right?”Ruth did not know what to say. “You’re not wrong, but your thinking is too naive. You haven’t grasped the way to get revenge. There are many ways to make others unhappy without making yourself unhappy.”Eilam’s eyelids twitched. Ruth’s words were like tongue twisters, and he could not understand them.He was at a loss for words when Ruth said he was too naive. He was almost in his forties, alright?Ruth ignored his reaction. She walked to the elevator while making a call. “I’ve changed my mind.”The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. “You want to attend the welcoming party? Didn’t you say that you don’t want to make it pub
“Honey, I’ve been abused.”In a show of solidarity, Kallan and Eilam turned their heads to the side. Abel looked down at Ruth’s face and cocked his eyebrow in amusement. “Who could possibly abuse you?”“Callum.”Abel’s smile faded away. “What happened?”Ruth did not answer straightaway. Instead, she tilted her head and pondered over her words for a while. “Did you know that Lockton Corporation is going to throw Seema’s welcoming party here?”“Yes,” Abel answered. Ruth said nothing for a moment and just gave him a profound look. “So, are you here solely to attend my company’s celebration party?”Abel understood what she meant. The amused glint in his eyes disappeared, and he answered coolly, “Of course not.”Ruth unwrapped her arms from around his neck and straightened up.She knew it. His nonchalance was just a facade. He had not given up on going to Lockton Corporation’s welcoming party. She could not be this tolerant all the time. While she was thinking that, Abel pul
Everyone looked toward the door and saw two people come in. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman pretty and full of life. The two were clearly from completely different worlds, but, when they stood together, they looked like a perfect fit. Perhaps this was because when a handsome man and a beautiful woman stood together, they were a pleasant sight.The invited news media reporters lit up when they saw Abel. There was an immediate sound of camera shutters. Mr. Herbert was surprised, but he quickly went to the two people. Naturally, he first addressed Abel. “Mr. Blakewell, what brought you here? Regardless, welcome!“And you! Why didn’t you tell me?! I didn’t prepare anything!” He glared at Ruth reproachfully. Mr. Herbert had wrinkles on his round face, and their lines became even more prominent when he smiled, so he looked like a shriveled raisin. Ruth shuddered and took two steps back in fright. “I was waiting for him downstairs. That’s why I’m late,” she expla
