“Cough!” Demi spurted out the beer and started coughing.Apollo quickly put his beer down and patted her back naturally. “I know you’re excited about getting together with me, but you don’t have to overact.”Demi calmed down and stopped coughing. Then, she stared at him with a flushed face.Her gaze made Apollo feel a bit embarrassed, so he moved back slightly. “W-Why are you looking at me like that?”“I wanted to know what your skin is made of. How can you be so thick-skinned and say something so shameless?” Demi’s expression was serious, and her voice was filled with disbelief.Apollo spluttered.He sighed and explained the reason he thought of on the way to her house. “It’s the only solution if you don’t want me to quit being an actor.”Demi smiled. “I think it’s a good idea for you to quit, so no thanks.” Apollo lowered his head and said nothing.When Demi saw his reaction, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.“Seriously? Did your family scold you and

Apollo caught himself with one hand on the carpet to avoid falling on Demi and used the other hand to cover the back of her head.If anyone else saw it, they would think he was hugging her.This was the second time they got so close to each other, and Demi’s face flushed. She was not as insensitive as when Apollo tripped and fell on her earlier, but she could not tell if it was because of the beer or the topic they were discussing.Demi pushed at Apollo’s chest and softly said, “Get up.”Apollo saw her embarrassment, and his lips formed into a mischievous smile. “Give it a second thought.”Demi was at a loss for words.“Hey, are you threatening me? You won’t move away unless I help you?” She tried to lighten the flirtatious atmosphere.Apollo adjusted his posture. He lay sideways and spoke in a lazy voice. “I have to take a photo to pose a threat in this situation.”“You wouldn’t dare!”Apollo stopped teasing her and said seriously, “I promise you’ll just need to help me deal

Apollo’s eyes brightened, and he pretended to be reluctant as he turned back.Demi and Apollo sat side by side on the carpet.After a long silence, Demi still wanted to change Apollo’s mind. “You only want to bring a girlfriend home to meet your parents. It doesn’t have to be me, does it?”Apollo shook his head. “No, they only like you.”Demi then asked, “What about you?”“What?”“Do you like me?”Apollo was taken aback for a moment, then showed a sly smile. “We always bicker and have seen each other’s ugliest sides. There’s no way we could have feelings for each other. Even if I saw you standing naked, I wouldn’t find you attractive!”Demi let out a long sigh of relief. She patted him on the shoulder and said, “I’m glad to hear that because I feel the same. In that case, I won’t have to worry about you falling in love with me.”Apollo’s smile faded. He looked at her with a hurt expression.He only gave a random excuse, but Demi was being serious.Did she not have any feelin

Abel wanted to change the topic to redirect her focus, so he said, “What did you talk about with my mother upstairs?”Ruth was mildly surprised by the sudden change of conversation. Even so, she still picked up her cutlery. “It’s nothing. We looked through your photos. You were pretty good-looking when you were young. You’re certainly my husband.”Abel gave her a stupefied look. “You just looked at my photos? You didn’t ask about the Lovehart family?”Ruth froze. She actually forgot. At that time, all she could think about was Abel. Seriously, men were such distractions.“Did you ask your father?” she retorted. Abel nodded. “But my father doesn’t care about these things, so he doesn’t know much. I think my mother does, so I thought you’d ask.”Most of the time, men were not interested in gossip, but women were, so they would know more about such things. That was why Abel thought that Ruth would ask Lyla about it and learn something. “I forgot. Should we stay here until after

“Sorry for not keeping an eye over Luna.” A cold and carefree voice drew closer with the sound of heels hitting the floor. Ruth opened the door with a stack of papers, and her eyes fell on Callum’s face. “But I’m only an intern who just joined Lockton Jewelry. I haven’t even seen the participants’ name list before. There’s no way I can keep an eye on a certain person who is not a professional jeweler.”When Callum saw Ruth, his eyes turned wary, and he was instinctively on guard against her. “Why are you here?”Ruth waved the stack of papers in her hand and said innocently, “For the meeting, duh. I’m a minor shareholder now. I have the right to come here, don’t I?”Callum fell silent. He almost forgot about that. But hadn’t she been absent from the company over the past few days?Ruth took a seat and immediately fell into her work mode. She went straight to business. “Based on what I know, these two jewelers aren’t the only ones missing from the name list. There are other jewel

Callum fell silent. It was his fault for always maintaining the image of a kind father in the corporation. When he was trying to draw the old-timers of the corporation to his side, he often said this. “Lockton Corporation will belong to Ruth eventually, and I’m just taking care of it in her place. Please work together with me for the Lockton family’s sake.” If he wanted to stand up for Luna, these stubborn old coots would not buy it. Ruth felt better when she saw that Callum was rendered speechless. “Thank goodness the name list was not announced, and we can still solve the problem.”But Callum remained stubborn. “What can you possibly do?”Ruth smiled. “Of course, I can’t do anything, but Mr. Leroy can. Have him upload all the jewelers’ designs along with the criteria for the competition. Then, change the name list.”Leroy was just as famous as Seema. If he did it, he could resolve some of the public’s skepticism. And since he had just become Lockton Jewelry’s person-in-cha

The meeting room gained an unreadable atmosphere, and the air felt suffocating. Someone came to mediate the situation and took up Ruth’s suggestion. They said that everyone wanted to think this through, and the meeting ended. The shareholders got up and left, but Callum did not. In the end, only a few people remained in the meeting room. The person sitting closest to Callum stood up and went to his side to whisper to him, “Mr. Callum, don’t lower yourself to the same level as Ruth. She just joined the corporation, that’s why she’s being so haughty. We’re the ones deciding whether we’re going to take up her suggestion or not. If we don’t take it up, her suggestion is useless.”“Do you have a better idea other than hers?” Callum asked that person coldly. That person fell silent. He did not have a better idea. Callum knew that he could not reject Ruth’s suggestion, either. However, agreeing to it and being forced to agree to it were two entirely different things. He initial

While waiting, Callum was growing more confident. He had a preconceived notion that Seema was close to Ruth and wanted to scam him out of his shares. Hence, he believed that so long as he could meet Seema in person, he could figure out their weakness. Then, he would convince Seema to switch to his side and stop being friends with Ruth. There was no way he could not offer Seema the same benefits as Ruth did. However, he waited the whole afternoon. When night came, no one had called him. Feeling dissatisfied, he called Seema’s workshop. Dulcie picked up again, and wherever she was, it was a noisy place. Her voice was filled with impatience. “Seema’s not meeting you! Didn’t I tell you? Oh? The shares? We don’t want it for the time being! We’ll talk some other time!”Before Callum could even say anything, Dulcie had hung up. He was flabbergasted. Dulcie did not seem to have faked her impatience. Seema was not moved by the benefits he offered. Were they really not interested in t

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!
