Ruth felt even more uneasy when she met Abel’s penetrating gaze.She had subconsciously raised her voice, and she sounded embarrassed and upset. “Yeah! That’s right! Someone pulled that same stunt on me before! It’s very disrespectful!”Abel was dumbfounded.“Joey deserved it, sure, but I didn’t do anything wrong. How could that b*stard make a fool out of me like that?!” Ruth scratched her head in frustration. She was getting angry as she recalled the past. “I wanted to compete with him again, but who would have thought…”Abel asked, “Thought of what?”Ruth waved her hand. “It’s fine. I didn’t lose out anyway. I beat him up.”Abel was speechless. After realizing the mistake, he felt helpless.However, knowing how she dealt with it, he felt even more helpless. “You beat someone up after losing the race? You’ve done such a tasteless thing before?”Ruth clenched her fists. “He deserved it, just like Joey did! No, he’s even worse than Joey!” When Abel heard this, he frowned sligh
Ruth was stunned for a few seconds before she glared at Abel.It was his fault for being ambiguous! Why was he turning it around on her?Ruth decided to ignore the question for the time being. However, both of them came to understand the way of getting along as a couple, which was an unexpected gain.Aquilo’s thoughts were also interrupted by Ruth’s words. His mind was filled with thoughts about why Sean valued Lockton Corporation so much.Even if the Lockton family was at their peak, they were not worthy of the Lovehart family’s attention. What benefits were involved that Sean had to help Callum like a charity case?As a result, Aquilo forgot about Keith’s request for help, and Joey ended up working in Regality.Ruth later heard about Joey again from Serenity.“Ruth, your husband has no taste! How can he use such a stunning beauty as a mere waiter? I’m tempted to take him home after one look at him! How can Abel underutilize him like that?”Ruth was sitting on a sofa. She had
After she hung up, Serenity quickly sent Ruth the photo.Ruth tapped on the picture, and her gaze changed subtly.“Isn’t this...?”A cold male voice suddenly came from behind her. “Joey’s appearance is quite popular in Regality. However, because of the Oakland family, it’s not appropriate to force him to receive clients.” Ruth jerked her head around and saw a familiar figure. “Why don’t you make a sound when you walk? You almost gave me a heart attack!”Abel walked around the sofa and sat down beside her. “Only people who have done something wrong become jumpy.”Ruth tilted her head to look at him. “If you’re going to say I’ve done something wrong, I’m going to get mad.”Abel leaned against the sofa and gazed at her.Ruth put down her computer and looked at him with a faint smile. “You’ve been checking out the list of contestants who raced at the Lost Legends League over the past three years. Are you looking for a certain woman?”Abel was stunned. “Who told you that?”Ruth n
If Serenity heard this, would she be proud?Abel did not explain his dissatisfaction with Serenity. He had just recalled that he came down to find Ruth about a serious matter. “I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”Without hesitation, Ruth said, “The bad news.”Abel said, “Callum Goldwell used the mansion they’re living in as collateral to borrow 500 million from the bank.”Ruth was not surprised by this news. The compensation for the breach of contract between Lockton Corporation and Seema had yet to be negotiated. If Lockton Corporation did not relinquish the shares, Dulcie would not show any mercy in terms of the compensation.Callum had very little capital at this point, so he had to think of a way to take out a loan.But Ruth was still very angry. The mansion they were living in belonged to her mother.However, Abel’s next words made her furious. “The bank is under Blakewell Corporation, but the loan officer is Nicholas.”In other words, this
“Treat me to dinner tomorrow night! I’ll choose the restaurant. You treat, but I’m paying!” With that, Tom looked at Abel as if he was explaining something. “See? I didn’t take advantage of your wife!”Abel did not speak, but instead threw a disdainful look at him.They had known each other for so many years that Tom knew Abel’s thoughts like the back of his hand.But his attempt to placate Abel was too obvious. Even Ruth realized the inconsistency. “You’re paying? There’s no such thing as a free meal.”Tom smiled gently. “We’re all friends! Speaking of which, you’re practically my sister now, but I haven’t even treated you to a proper meal yet!”“Sister-in-law.” Abel corrected him coldly.Tom clicked his tongue and pointed at Abel. “Look at him fussing over these superficial things.”Abel put his arm around Ruth’s shoulders and walked toward the ward. “Let’s go see your grandfather.”“Alright! Sister-in-law, it is!” Tom quickly stopped the two of them. “I’ll book a restaurant
When he initially advised her not to offend Pearl, it was so that she could gain the support of the Harlem family. Thus, he had always thought that her relationship with Pearl was solely for the sake of benefits, which gave them a superficial harmony.However, Ruth’s words just now had impressed him. Not only was she vengeful and mercenary, but she was also sincere to the people she truly accepted...Ruth explained casually, “We’re not close, but that doesn’t mean we’re enemies! Besides, who said I’m standing up for her? I just don’t want to get involved in their trivial matters! Once you do something for someone, they’ll keep coming back for more! They’re going to ask again, just wait and see!”Looking at her disdainful expression, Abel’s eyes darkened, and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.Ruth’s only flaw was her stubbornness.......Later that night, Abel left the ward with his phone while Ruth dozed off in front of George’s bed.He went to the end of the corr
The night grew darker, and neon lights flickered as the city’s nightlife began.Inside Regality, someone bumped into an exquisitely handsome waiter and knocked over his wine glass. A group of women lounging nearby started teasing him.The youngest woman of the group was sitting on a sofa with her legs crossed. She said, “Young man, you’re too soft and delicate. You’re really not suited for this line of work! Why don’t you come with me tonight? I’ll cover all your expenses for next year!”As soon as she said this, someone immediately laughed and said, “Miss Coral is so stingy! You’re only going to keep such a stunning beauty for a year?”The girl crossed her arms. “What do you know? It’s natural for women to want new things! What if I fall in love with someone else a year later? I can’t be two-timing, right?”“Hahaha, Miss Coral is so thoughtful!”“Hey, handsome! Just listen to her! Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences tonight!”“You should feel honored that Miss
She screamed and jumped up in pain.After taking a few steps back, she heard a leisurely voice beside her ear. “Wow, I’m really sorry. My hand was shaking! The boiling water I poured didn’t scald you, did it?”Everyone was speechless.Wasn’t that obvious? She already knew that she poured boiling water, and yet she had the gall to ask if it scalded her? No matter how everyone looked at it, it seemed like this lady did it on purpose.Serenity Springfield slowly walked forward, grabbed Joey’s arm, and pulled him up.Her beautiful eyes sized him up. “Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Why are you suddenly on the floor? Do you owe her money or something?” With that last sentence, she glanced sideways at Coral.Joey looked at Serenity and was somewhat stunned.Before he could speak, Coral raged at Serenity, “You crazy b*tch! Where did you come from?! Do you have a death wish? How dare you pick a fight with me!”Serenity nodded and said nonchalantly, “So what if I do? Are you going
