Chapter 444

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Abel stopped moving. He stared at her and warned her awkwardly but sternly, “Don’t talk about this ever again. I might just end up getting angry and spank your butt.”

How shameless…

But the threat worked.

Ruth no longer tried to tease him, but she still looked embarrassed. “I don’t think we can do it tonight.”

Abel had yet to figure out what she was trying to say. “What?”

Ruth did not explain any further. She just quickly got to her feet and jogged to the bathroom.

After a long period of absence, her period had finally arrived.

Ten minutes later, Ruth shuffled back to the bedroom with a hand over her stomach.

The red flush on her face was gone, and she looked pale.

When Abel saw it, he quickly went to her to support her. “What’s wrong? Did your period come?”

Ruth leaned against him feebly. “Yeah. It’s late, but it’s here.”

Abel held her gently with one arm and bent down to hook his other arm under her knees. He then carried her to the bed.

    “Alright.”“It’s still hot. Blow on it more.”“Okay.”Ruth lay in his arms with her hair spilling down her shoulders. Her face was pale and haggard. Her dress was a mess, and one of the straps had slid off her shoulders. She also fisted his shirt. She kept on giving suggestions and occasionally frowned in displeasure. But Abel just kept patiently listening to her demands. He had to coax her for a long time before she finally finished her ginger tea. Then, he put down the bowl and held her shoulder while he reached under the blanket with his other hand to rub her tummy. He asked gently, “Feel any better?”Ruth’s tummy was warm, and that warmth spread through her entire body to chase away the chills and pain. Honestly, since she was taking medication and nursing her body back to normal, the pain was not as strong as last time. Perhaps she was making a fuss about it because she knew Abel would smooth her feathers. Ruth did not answer him. She just looked into the distanc

    As Ruth promised, Abel stopped keeping Jasper in jail. He was soon released with Frank’s help. When Jasper returned home, he and Bella cried in each other’s arms.Bella’s heart ached when she heard Jasper complain about being mistreated in jail while crying.“It’s all Ruth’s fault! I’ll definitely take revenge on that b*tch!” Jasper hissed.Callum slammed his teacup on the table. “Don’t do anything stupid! I won’t be able to save you if you get on her bad side again!”Jasper hunched his shoulders in fear.Bella looked at Callum in dissatisfaction. “He just came back. Why did you raise your voice at him?”With Bella’s support, Jasper became bolder and asked tentatively, “Mom, what happened while I was in jail? Why is Dad so afraid of Ruth?”The word “afraid” made Callum’s expression darken.Bella snuck a glance at Callum and sighed. Her choked-up voice was full of sorrow.“What else could it be? Ruth got back what belongs to her.”“She got back what belongs to her? Is there an

    Ruth wondered why Leroy got himself involved in this mess.“Do you think you’re his target?” Abel cocked an eyebrow.Ruth shook her head. “I don’t think so. It was true that he became famous by copying my designs, but he stopped doing it because he cared about his reputation. Also, he never showed off in front of me.”Leroy knew that his abilities were not up to Ruth’s level.He got his current status through marketing.If Leroy and Seema got too close to each other, the public could tell who was better by comparing their designs. If that happened, it would affect Leroy’s reputation.Eilam nodded in agreement. Then, he told Ruth the result of his investigation. “Mrs. Blakewell, Leroy is not targeting you or Seema. Someone entrusted him to preside over Lockton Jewelry.”That person was worried that the company’s reputation would plummet after the cooperation with Seema was suspended. He did not want other jewelry companies to look down on Lockton Jewelry, so he hired Leroy.Ruth

    Eilam was a professional bodyguard who had worked for Abel for a long time.He might feel a little uncomfortable with Abel and Ruth being lovey-dovey, but he soon ignored the discomfort and continued the report.“I’ve looked into the source of the funds. They were all from the same company, Mighty Jewelry. Mighty Jewelry’s person-in-charge is acquainted with Leroy.”In other words, Mighty Jewelry had been secretly helping Callum, and Leroy worked for that company’s person-in-charge.However, Eilam had not found out why Mighty Jewelry helped Callum.Ruth was surprised to hear this piece of news. When she glanced at Abel and noticed he had let his guard down, she quickly snatched the documents back.She looked at Abel’s dark eyes provocatively. “Lockton Corporation is mine! These are the things my mom and grandpa gave me. They are premarital assets—”“Mighty Jewelry may appear to be an independent limited company, but it actually belongs to Lovehart Corporation. It’s the company o

    “That’s because they hadn’t met you then. After meeting you, they want to become closer to you,” Abel explained in a low voice.Ruth narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “Really? Why do they want to become closer to me?”On the day of Callum’s birthday party, Lyla enthusiastically said she would attend the party and asked for a photo of Ruth and Abel.Ruth was clueless at first, but she figured out the reason for Lyla’s actions later. Lyla did not intend to attend the party. All she wanted was a photo of both of them.To be precise, she wanted Abel to accompany Ruth to the party.But Ruth had sent Lyla the photo. She should be at ease after receiving it.Why did Gabriel still ask Abel and Ruth to go back?“Well, probably because Mom received the photo, but Dad didn’t.” They still doubted whether Abel and Ruth had reconciled, so they wanted to create more opportunities for the two of them to talk.After being stunned for a while, Ruth came to a realization. “Did your father also

    Ten minutes later, Ruth sat on the couch and looked at the trending photos with a weird expression.To be precise, it was not a scandal between Apollo and Demi, but between Apollo and Ruth.Apollo was worried about letting Ruth go to the hospital alone that day, so he asked Luc to accompany her. He did not expect the paparazzi to take a photo of them talking.Ruth’s face was not in the photos, so netizens deduced that it was Demi based on her figure and clothes.Coincidentally, the production team of the new drama had just released the behind-the-scenes of Apollo and Demi as well.They were both equally famous. The news of them dating caused some fans to stop supporting them, but new shippers also flocked to them. Each actor's die-hard fans were also fighting on the internet. They were saying the other party was not worthy of their idol.Abel glanced at the photos, then glared at Apollo menacingly.Apollo hunched his shoulders in fear. “I didn’t know that we would be photograp

    Apollo immediately shot up from the couch. “They can’t do that! We’re not dating! Should I post a tweet to clarify it?”When Luc told him about the trending tag, he was stunned. He then told Luc to wait and see how the situation developed.Since it was a misunderstanding, he even calmly waited for Demi to get angry at him.However, he did not see her at the filming site all afternoon. When he went home at night, he heard about the real reason this scandal came out.“How are you going to clarify it? By saying that the woman in the photos is your boss? If the marketing accounts dared to post those photos, they must have other photos too. Do you want everyone to know that you accompanied your boss to see a gynecologist?” Abel asked in a cold voice.When Apollo heard Abel’s chilling tone and saw his menacing gaze, he hunched his shoulders in fear.Ruth kindly made a suggestion. “Saying that the woman in the photos is me will make other people misunderstand. Why don’t you just tell ev

    “Just curious,” Abel said casually. “Do you know why Notus Lovehart refuses to accept Sean Lovehart’s son as the heir even though he doesn’t care about Lovehart Corporation?”Gabriel sighed. “Notus Lovehart was deeply in love with that woman. He compromised and married his current wife because Zach Lovehart threatened to kill himself.”“You mean he doesn’t love his wife?”“They’ve been married for many years, so I think he has feelings for her. But he probably can’t forget that woman as well.”Abel’s eyes flashed with understanding. “Did he travel abroad because of that woman?”Gabriel shook his head. “I’m not sure about it. I only know that he wanted to take a break.”Even Apollo did not believe that Notus was really taking a break since he still paid attention to the company’s affairs. Since Gabriel had no intention of criticizing him, Apollo got bolder. He became interested in the Lovehart family’s affairs. “What about the love lives of the older generation of the Lovehart f

    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!
