Chapter 395

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Ruth received a call from Dulcie right after she drove out of the mansion.

Dulcie excitedly said, “How is it? How did your dad react? Will he hand over the company or give up on Luna?”

Ruth leaned back in her seat. “I don’t know. I only know that money and power are the most important to him.”

Dulcie was disappointed to hear that. “What should we do, then? Why aren’t you worried?”

Ruth casually said, “There’s nothing to be worried about. It’s still a piece of good news. I know it would be best if he handed over the company. But even if he doesn’t, it’s okay. We can still sue Luna.”

“You’re right. That b*tch deserves to be sued! How dare she set you up and snatch away your things!” Dulcie said angrily.

After a while, she became curious about another thing. “Speaking of which, the management of your company is quite unprofessional. The transfer of shares was done instantly, as if it was not a big deal.”

That day, Dulcie had impatiently asked for the shares of Lockton Corporation a

    On the way to Blakewell Corporation’s headquarters, Ruth looked at Eilam and thought.“When did he become so flexible? He could even grasp what Abel actually meant! That’s a huge improvement!”Eilam parked the car in the basement of the office building. He nervously helped Ruth open the door and spoke respectfully. “We’re here, Mrs. Blakewell.”Ruth averted her gaze from him and looked at the office building. She subconsciously muttered, “He’s still working, even though it’s already so late. He does take his job seriously.”“Since his grandfather is hospitalized and Nicholas is not dependable, Mr. Blakewell has had to deal with most of the work.”Ruth was surprised to hear that. “Grandpa hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet?”It had been a long time since the family gathering. Did Frank really fall ill after being angered by them?Eilam euphemistically said, “He can’t get better since Mr. Blakewell doesn’t visit him.”Ruth cocked an eyebrow in understanding.Frank refu

    Katie’s voice was gentle and full of patience. She sounded like she was talking to a boyfriend who was throwing a tantrum.Abel furrowed his brows even more. He looked at her with a sharp gaze that could see through everything.His gaze made Katie a little uncomfortable. She tried to keep her smile and sat on the couch without his permission. “I came today to help Grandpa pass a message to you and tell you about Grandpa’s condition—”“Whose Grandpa?” Abel interrupted.Katie was stunned for a moment. “Pardon?”Abel patiently repeated himself in a cold voice. “Who are you helping to pass a message to me? Your grandfather, Zach Lovehart?”Katie explained, “No, it’s your grandfather—”“In that case, please say his name. Otherwise, people who don’t know who you are may think you’re a member of the Blakewell family. The Lovehart family is also a renowned family. You don’t have to embarrass yourself by pretending to be someone from another family.”No matter how well-mannered Katie wa

    Katie stared at Ruth in puzzlement. Ruth slowly walked toward them and stood in front of Abel.Ruth placed her hands on the desk and bent over. She spoke in a cutesy voice. “You won’t get jealous just because I called her ‘sweetheart,’ right?”Unlike her harsh tone just now, Ruth’s voice was soft when she spoke to Abel. She sounded like she was acting cute but also like she was trying to calm Abel down.Katie knew they were a married couple and knew that Abel treated Ruth differently. However, this was the first time she saw them interacting.Abel was aloof and accustomed to controlling everything, but he got annoyed over such a trivial matter, and Ruth had to explain it to him?Katie believed that she did not hear it wrong. Ruth was really explaining herself to Abel.Wasn’t she supposed to get angry when she found Abel in the office alone with another woman? Abel should be the one explaining instead of Ruth!Katie was puzzled. Abel spoke seriously in a clear voice, “I won’t l

    Katie knew the talk with Abel would not go well, so she decided to speak with Ruth instead.She smiled understandingly. “Miss Ruth, it’ll be inappropriate for me to continue to speak with Abel if you dislike it. Why don’t we have a girl talk? But it’s not something Abel should listen to, so we need to find another place.”Katie’s last sentence was directed at Abel. Her gentle and magnanimous attitude cleared away the earlier embarrassment.Abel kept looking at Ruth. He did not even spare Katie a glance.Ruth smiled even more brightly when she heard Katie’s suggestion. She looked at her and said, “I don’t think we’re close enough for a girl talk. All we can talk about are just the Blakewell family’s affairs. If you knew about my relationship with Abel and wanted to talk about our family affairs, shouldn’t you call me Mrs. Blakewell?”Katie was stunned for a moment.She said in resignation, “I’m sorry. I was a bit careless and didn’t pay attention to details. Can we talk, Mrs. Blak

    Katie stared at Ruth’s bright smile. After a few seconds, she returned to her senses. “I’m not joking!”Ruth leaned back on the couch. “Neither am I.”“How can you be so selfish? Do you know how difficult things are for Abel in the corporation now—”“Does that have anything to do with you?” Ruth indifferently interrupted. She stared at Katie coldly. “You should know your place. When you did it for the first time, I could pretend it was unintentional. During the second time, you might have had good intentions. However, I won’t let it slide a third time. Step out of line again, and I’m going to make you regret it.”Ruth watched Katie. When Ruth removed her gentle front, her gaze became sharp. That gaze stunned Katie. It was the same as Abel’s when he had warned her coldly.After a while, Katie averted her gaze and chuckled. “I have a special relationship with Abel, so I understand if you don’t like me. But my suggestion is from the heart. Grandpa is still your elder. Do you think Ab

    Ruth knew that Katie had done something vile to achieve her goal. She just did not know what it was. Judging by what she said, did they drug Abel?They did that to their own family for their own selfish desires…“Because someone got to his heart first. That woman is the one who has always been on Abel’s mind.”She shut the office door. Ruth sank into contemplative silence while sitting on the couch with her head bowed. After a long while, she heard footsteps outside the door. Abel opened the door and came in. He stopped in front of her and looked down at her. “You sure took your time talking to her. Are we still eating together?” he asked with displeasure.Ruth looked at him and asked calmly, “Do you prefer to know what we talked about or to eat first?”Abel turned around. “Let’s eat first.”Kallan had booked a table at a Western restaurant near the company. It had a good environment and ensured privacy. It was long past dinner time, so only a few people were at the res

    Abel wiped his hands with the napkin and looked at her. “He’s my elder, not yours.”Ruth’s eyes widened. “What are you saying? Are you drawing a distinction between us?”“You’ve always been smart. Can you really not tell what I’m trying to say? My parents are good to you, so you should acknowledge them as part of our family. My grandfather doesn’t, so you shouldn’t acknowledge him. He hasn’t played the role of an elder properly to you, so why should he get your respect?”His words struck a chord with Ruth. If Abel had not said it, Ruth would have never known just how logical her husband was. He did not judge her actions without seeing the whole picture. “If my grandfather hits me or yells at me for no reason, I have to accept it. But you were angry for my sake. That shows that you care about me. How can I say that you disrespect your elders when you did it out of concern for me? I would be ungrateful if I did that.”“You’re right!” Ruth nodded, but then suddenly started shaking

    Ruth’s hands stiffened and looked at Abel in puzzlement. Abel put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth calmly before he said, “You acted too impatiently, and your goals became too obvious. Even if you managed to get the upper hand, you won’t get the results you want.”Ruth frowned and looked at him in displeasure. “When have I been impatient?”“You want him to act according to the share transfer agreement and transfer most of Lockton Jewelry’s shares to Seema, don’t you?” Abel asked. “Isn’t that his best choice at the moment?” Ruth retorted. “Of course not.” Ruth was no longer as calm as before. She narrowed her eyes. “What other choice could he have? Tell me.”“Break the contract, obviously,” Abel said.Callum was caught between a rock and a hard place. He could not abandon Luna, much less Lockton Corporation. However, Callum was also shameless. Hence, him breaking the contract was the most likely thing to happen.“Think about it. If he breaks the contract and is

    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!
