Chapter 465

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
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

    Ruth did not shout, but the people around could hear her clearly. No emotions could be detected in her voice, but the words were spoken with great arrogance. She was basically implying that if her passenger was interested in Joey, she would win him over. But wasn’t Regality a host club under Blakewell Corporation? Was she saying that she would win Joey over to become a host?They looked toward the passenger seat. In the next second, a tall person appeared before everyone’s eyes. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his perfect, handsome face was cold and distant. He cast a cold and profound glance at the stunned Joey, and his clear voice was frigid. “He’s so-so.”He spoke with an air of superiority, and he was nitpicking Joey’s looks, but no one could hate him. In fact, they thought this was all par for the course. Some people were just born superior to others. The people there fell silent, but Joey was the first to react to the situation. His expression turned sour. “What t

    The guesses with their negative implications and the horrible comments caused Abel’s expression to darken even further. Ruth, however, was not angry. She only cast Abel a nervous glance. Then, she tugged at his sleeve and wanted to say something to him, but Calian Colgera, Mountainside Club’s assistant manager, came forward with a group of employees behind him. He spoke respectfully and fawningly. “Welcome, Mr. Blakewell!”The crowd was stunned. When Ruth saw that Calian recognized Abel, she became a little more cautious with her actions. She put her hand down and stared at Abel with a pitifully pleading look that said: Please don’t kick up a fuss here. That would be too embarrassing. Also, people can easily recognize us here.Abel stared into her eyes for a few seconds. In the end, he said nothing and went into the club. Ruth quickly followed after him while they were surrounded by the employees. However, the crowd’s gazes followed them as well. They were still confused

    His sudden change in attitude confused Ruth. She could not figure out whether he was smiling out of anger or mocking her. Ruth then came up with an idea. She got up, walked to his side, hugged his arm, and sat down on the couch. “I watched Aquilo Lovehart’s races last night. Guess what I discovered.”Abel looked at her and went along with the conversation. “What is it?”Ruth said mysteriously, “I know him.”Abel widened his eyes. “Not only do I know him, but I also even raced against him abroad at a race my friend organized.”Abel was surprised, but he finally understood why she was so confident. However, he remained cautious and asked, “What’s the difference in skill between you two?”Joey and Aquilo were about the same in their level of skill. Even if Ruth had raced against Aquilo before, it was still too risky. After all, the stakes were really troublesome to Abel. Ruth was simply too rash. Even though Abel was right there, he did not manage to stop her. “I’d say we’re qu

    Right after he hung up, his father called him again. This time, the ringing went on for much longer, which showed just how anxious he was. Joey hesitated for a few seconds before he went to a quiet place and answered the call. “What?”“Are you insane, you idiot?! Why did you join the friendly race?! I warned you plenty of times to behave, but you just refuse to listen! Look at what happened! You—”It was the same angry spiel. Joey could already memorize the whole thing. He hung up and even turned off his phone. Meanwhile, before Keith could finish speaking, he heard the mechanical beeps of a busy ringtone. When he called Joey again, he could not even get through. In his anger and anxiety, he ordered his secretary to get his car ready. Then, he left the meeting he was having with his employees and went to the club. ......The race started amid the sound of cheers, and it ended while the spectators continued cheering. Aquilo came in first, as expected. A handsome man in

    Abel was shocked that Joey had not left yet and still wanted to race against Ruth. Aquilo was also surprised because he was not expecting Joey to be here. And what did he mean by that? Was he implying that he had a race with Ruth?Aquilo gave them a puzzled look before he gave Joey a questioning one. However, Joey did not look at him. He just stared at Ruth and said teasingly, “But this is the first time I see someone who’s not vying to get into Aquilo’s bed but is instead trying to get into mine.”…What?Ruth did not even know what to say as she stared at Joey. After a few seconds, she said, “Being confident is good and all, but being overconfident just makes you stupid.”Joey just thought she was being stubborn and did not mind. He just gave a signal with his hand. Someone drove a Lamborghini over and parked it in front of them. Joey gave Ruth a challenging look and walked past her to get into the car. When he sat in the driver’s seat, he grabbed the steering wheel with o

    “Joey finally got into the mood for a race, he definitely needs a Lady Luck.”“That’s right! That was such a pointless question!”“Are you going to choose one from among us? We’re all willing!”Joey’s fangirls began offering themselves. Aquilo could no longer watch and went to stop Joey from marching to his own death. He drew close to Joey and whispered, “Do you know who she is?”Joey just quirked a nonchalant eyebrow at him. “I don’t care who she is. She’s the one who flirted with me first.”Aquilo was skeptical. “She flirted with you first?”However, Joey did feel a little guilty when he said this to his best friend. After all, the root cause was that Joey was the one who flirted with her first and got angry because of her attitude. In the end, he was the one who had made that bet. He waved Aquilo off to signal that he did not want to talk about this anymore. Then, he shouted at his fangirls, “To all the girls who want to sit in my passenger’s seat, you can queue up now!”

    When Abel saw that Ruth was answering him seriously, he finally felt satisfied. Just as he was about to say something, Joey grew impatient. “What’s with the hold up? Are you going to race or not?”He had never been ignored like this before. This woman was going overboard with her entire act of playing hard to get. He was actually beginning to think that she really did not care about him.“Of course, she does,” Abel said coldly. “But, if you want to race against her, you’ll have to get through me first.”His words caused everyone else to fall silent. A number of Joey’s fangirls looked over, and their eyes lit up in excitement. They had been focused on Joey just now and did not notice this other handsome man appear in the club. Both his looks and temperament were outstanding. Joey smirked and looked at him mockingly before he stared at Ruth. “You want him to race against me? I’ll make this clear: I’m only racing against one person today. If he races against me, the results of th

    Ruth did not even know what to say to this. What was this? Did he have too much money to spare?Just when she was about to say something, Abel said, “Hang on tight.”They had come to a very steep and sharp bend. Abel did not even slow down. He turned the steering wheel. The back wheels of the car had such great friction against the road that sparks flew. Ruth was caught off guard. She fell toward the driver’s seat and crashed into Abel. Her chest rammed against the center console, and it hurt so much that she grimaced and wanted to curse. At that moment, Abel elegantly placed his hand on her head and pushed her back. “Be good now. If you do that, I can’t overtake him with ease.”“…Excuse you?!” Was Ruth to blame for Abel failing to overtake Joey?!Ruth returned to her seat and glared silently at Abel. But Abel’s gaze remained trained ahead. He was focused, and his face showed no emotions as he steered the car with a natural ease. It seemed like he was not at all affected

    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!
