Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife Chapter 427
Even if Kallan leaned backward, he could not fit both Abel and Ruth into the frame.He politely said, “Can you two sit closer to each other? This looks like carpooling. I don’t think you’ll find this moment nostalgic when you look at this photo in the future.”Both Abel and Ruth were a little embarrassed. They had no idea that Kallan was so humorous.Ruth remembered the call with Lyla. She had firmly told Lyla that she had reconciled with Abel. Lyla would know she was lying if they appeared distant. To avoid that from happening, Ruth leaned toward Abel. Abel had the same thought and leaned toward her cooperatively. The distance between them immediately shortened.Ruth could feel the warmth of Abel’s body through her thin gown and his trousers. When Abel’s familiar scent enshrouded her, memories of their intimate moments flooded her mind.Ruth was stunned for a few seconds. She did not want to separate from Abel, as she wanted to let the scent that she had missed continue to surr

Ruth was impressed once again. As expected of Kallan. Not only was he a thoughtful all-rounder, but he could also accurately guess what Abel wanted. Kallan knew Abel well, and he knew that Abel would want the photos, so he naturally snapped a few more shots.Ruth was stunned when this thought crossed her mind. Abel had liked her, so in the past, he would create many opportunities to be alone with her and would try every means to flirt with her. However, Abel had a cold attitude toward Ruth after they had a disagreement about having a child. He was disappointed to know that Ruth thought nothing was more important than getting Lockton Corporation back.In turn, Ruth thought Abel had decided not to love her anymore and returned to how they got along before.Why did Kallan act as if nothing had happened between Abel and Ruth?“Is there something wrong?” Abel’s clear voice had a hint of dissatisfaction.Ruth regained her senses and shook her head. “Nothing.”Ruth chose a photo in

Kallan did not say anything else. He quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Ruth.After Ruth got out of the car, Kallan took the gift, which had been prepared in advance, from the car and stood by her side respectfully.Ruth looked at the gift Kallan was holding. Then, she looked at Abel, who was still wearing a gloomy expression and was waiting nearby. A thought appeared in her mind.It seemed that Abel had dressed up today because he planned to attend this birthday party with her.……The appearance of Ruth and Abel successfully attracted everyone’s attention.Callum was talking to other people when he saw them. He quickly walked to them with a kind smile, and he gently said, “Ruth, Abel, you’re both here.”Bella put on the airs of an elder and said in a sharp voice, “Ruth said you were busy, but look who’s here! I knew you would come to Callum’s birthday party, because you respect him.” Abel glanced at her coldly. Bella was intimidated and immediately shut up.

Ruth looked at Abel. She hesitated and said, “Okay.”Abel nodded at her. Then, he bypassed her and left.Ruth stood where she was. She lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.This was what Ruth had hoped for. However, she still had a complicated feeling when it happened for real. She took a glass of champagne from a waiter beside her and slowly walked into the event hall.Callum and Bella quickly exchanged glances when they saw the interaction between Abel and Ruth.They were surprised to know that Abel did not come as Ruth’s partner. Did he come as a representative of the Blakewell family to show that they approved of Nicholas and Luna’s marriage?This further proved that Abel did not care about Ruth as much as they had thought. In that case, the talk with Ruth later would be much easier.To knock Ruth down a few pegs, Callum ignored her despite having asked her to stay. He walked around the hall and introduced Luna and Nicholas to his business partners as his daught

However, if Ruth did not admit that she was Seema, then she would be “forced” to side with him. After some thinking, she said, “What do you want me to do?”Callum smirked and said, “You’re good friends with Seema. Talk to them in my place and see whether they’re willing to null the contract.”Ruth nodded. “Sure.”Callum was delighted. “Really? You’re not drunk, are you? Will you remember your promise when you wake up?”“I’d be helping myself by helping you. You said it yourself. Lockton Corporation will be mine eventually. You also promised me that you will transfer Lockton Corporation’s shares to me if Lockton Entertainment does well.”“Alright. I’ll think about it. You—”“I’m not drunk, Mr. Callum,” Ruth interrupted him coldly. “Hand over the shares my mother left for me, and I’ll negotiate with Seema. I don’t know how much money you’ll need to pay for breaking the contract, though, so be prepared to pay compensation.”“I—”“That’s all I have to say. If you agree to it, han

But Callum could not let her leave so easily, not when he finally got her to come back. He ran after Ruth. But, when he reached the courtyard, he saw Abel’s signature Rolls-Royce parked under a dim street lamp.He stopped, stunned. He was not the only one surprised. Ruth was, too. She stood still for a few seconds before she smiled and strode forward. Before Kallan could step out and open the door for her, she got in herself. But there was no one in the backseat. Ruth’s smile froze on her face, but she refused to give up hope and looked toward the passenger’s seat. Abel was not there. Kallan returned to the car. When he saw Ruth’s confusion, he said respectfully, “Mr. Abel asked me to send you home, Madam.”Ruth positioned herself properly in her seat. “Does he not like me anymore?” she asked dejectedly.The question seemed to be directed at Kallan, but also like she was just talking to herself. “Um…” Kallan said. He did not dare to answer the question. Not that

Kallan knew it. He should not have believed a drunkard’s words. He closed the door quietly and high-tailed out of the place. Abel was dressed in casual clothes and sat on a one-person couch. He was reading something on his tab and looked toward the door when he heard some noise outside. He frowned. “Did you drink too much again?”“No! Also, do you not like me anymore because I don’t want children? Your love for me was so short-lived! You stopped loving me in an instant! While Katie told me that you’ve liked someone else for a long time!” Those thoughts had been at the back of Ruth’s mind for days. She was finally unable to hold herself back from saying them out loud. With a couch between them, they stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before Abel asked, “This isn’t about children. Also, who’s this ‘someone else’ you mentioned?”Ruth kicked away her heels, threw her handbag near the door, and strode to him, as if she wanted to talk about this at length with him.“B

In the end, Abel sent Ruth back to her bedroom while he returned to the guest room. Ruth lay in bed. Since only one light was turned on, the room was dim. She stared at the chandelier above her head for a long time. Then, as if she remembered something, she got up and headed outside. The guest room door was shut tight. She knocked on it twice. When she got no reply, she opened the door, only to have Abel also open it at the same time. Ruth already had one foot raised to walk in. She did not manage to stop in time and crashed into Abel. He instinctively brought his arms up and caught her by the waist to help her stand on her feet. He looked at her. “What’s wrong?”Ruth felt as if she had crashed into a bouncy rock. She staggered back and felt dizzy. When she finally regained her footing, she looked up and was stunned. Abel had just come out of the bathroom and had a bathrobe on. Its collar was loose around his neck and showed his pecs. Water dripped from his hair and slid dow

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!
