Chapter 534

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
When Janet saw Luna’s wound, she was at a loss.

Although she was mean to Luna, she had never been rough with her.

Janet thought about how Luna spoke just now, she had seemed flustered and anxious, and her words were littered with half-truths. She was, in fact, trying to fool Notus.

She let Notus think that Janet was harsh, disgusted, and jealous of her. Furthermore, she made Notus believe that Janet would even hurt Luna for a small endorsement just to let Katie have the privilege of choice.

It was a poor performance, but the enraged Notus, who already hated Janet, readily took Luna’s side.

Janet was suddenly amused. She got up and went upstairs. When she passed by Luna, she lowered her gaze and looked at her wrist.

She softly said, “My, aren’t you careless. I hope you recover well and that your endorsement goes smoothly.”

Luna shivered.

After Janet left, only the Lovehart twins and Luna were left in the living room.

Luna looked up at them pitifully and said nervously, “Katie,

    Katie sighed helplessly and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Don’t get involved in the conflict between Mom and Luna from now on!”Aquilo’s eyes flashed, and he asked, “You don’t like her, either?”“Do you like her that much?”“I can’t say that I like her. I just think that she’s quite pitiful.”“Pitiful? Ha! Please use your brain more. Does this ‘pitiful’ person always provoke conflict when Dad comes home and cause him to be even more dissatisfied with Mom?”“It has to be a coincidence. She can’t be that mean.” Aquilo thought for a moment and remembered something. “By the way, do you think Dad still hates Mom for what she did back then?”Katie closed her eyes. “Indeed, only foolish men like you can be fooled by such cheap tricks. And who cares if they hate each other or not? After all, we’re family.”As soon as she finished speaking, a face flashed through her mind.It seemed that HE was the only one who would never fall for Katie’s tricks. Whether it was sophisticated or

    Erica was called over in the morning to help Demi put on the new jewelry.She was a little surprised to see Ruth there. However, when she stood at the side and accidentally heard a few words, she stayed rooted to the spot as though she had been struck by lightning.What?Ruth designed the rings herself? Ruth and Abel Blakewell were preparing to hold a wedding?Her mind went blank for a few minutes.It was not until Dulcie called for her to set up the order that Erica suddenly came to her senses. She nodded and walked over quickly to Dulcie.“You want me to set up an order?”“Yes. Can you?”It was not a question of whether Erica could or not. She was still an employee of Lockton Corporation, after all. Erica could not help but ask nervously, “You trust me enough to handle setting up an order?”Amused, Dulcie said, “Do you mean as an employee of Lockton Corporation? You didn’t read the employment contract carefully, did you?”Erica was confused by this.“You’re Ruth’s assist

    Erica widened her eyes and followed Dulcie.“You ate it yourself? Are there no side effects? Or are all the members of the Rivas family immune to poison?”Dulcie paused and wordlessly stared at her. “Have you watched too many TV dramas? Immune to poison, my foot.”Erica parroted Dulcie’s line, “‘The things shown on TV can also come from real life’!”Dulcie was amused again. She handed the small bottle to Erica and said kindly, “This pill has another name: Chocolate Beans! It can lower your blood sugar. Want one?”Erica was speechless and politely declined.Not long after, Demi came over. After the fitting, she went straight to the photoshoot area to get the promotional photos done as soon as possible.Erica was busy the entire time, and her mind was reeling. She only recovered a little after filming started in the afternoon.She had heard too much news this morning—about the workshop, and about Ruth. Despite her shock, she was also excited. It was as though they had accepted he

    Ruth realized at that moment that it was Leroy’s group!Erica had said that it would be announced tomorrow.How interesting. He was also doing his shoot today, and coincidentally, they had rented the same studio.“Ruth, you’re here, too!” A surprised voice sounded from outside the door.Luna walked in with a group of people. The moment she saw Ruth, a smile bloomed on her face. Ruth thought. “What a hypocrite.”Ruth glanced at her. “From designers to spokespersons, and now schedules, too. You people certainly have a talent for clashing, don’t you?”Luna’s smile froze. “Ruth, you’re mistaken. I haven’t been feeling well for the past two days, so I couldn’t do the shoot as scheduled. Mr. Leroy wants to release the promotional photos tomorrow, so we rushed here.”“This studio is rented by the company. What do you mean by ‘clashing schedules’? I think you should mind your tone, Miss Ruth,” Cyrus, Luna’s manager, said unhappily.“Cyrus, forget it,” Luna said in a voice that sounded

    As long as it was Lockton Corporation, everything should be fine! After all, Callum had personally instructed them to prioritize Leroy’s needs.But this lady was telling him that her team was not from Lockton Corporation, but from that famous designer, Seema?The staff member could not make up his mind and ordered someone to find the manager.Luna and her group waited nearby, but they were drawing a lot of attention.When they heard the commotion, people from other shooting sets snuck over to see what was happening.“Isn’t that Luna? She’s taking promotional photos here today?”“It’s almost the deadline, and they’re just starting the shoot. She truly lives up to being from the Lovehart family! Is this how unprofessional she has become?”“She has really changed from when she was with the Goldwell family.”Whispers broke out around them. Cyrus frowned and wanted to chase the onlookers away, but Luna shook her head at him.She wanted to use this press conference to make a comebac

    Everyone was silent. She had just been thinking that Luna had grown more sensible and recognized when to retreat in the face of adversity. However, by shifting blame onto the staff member who brought her in, she had put her own shooting at risk.Ruth had been hesitating about whether to let it go and not pursue the matter further to avoid harming the innocent co-workers. But it seemed that she had been too optimistic about Luna.Luna was not only bad at her job, but her mental endurance was even worse. She deserved to face the consequences of her actions.“What’s going on?” Realizing that something was wrong, the manager quickly walked over.Abel’s eyes darkened. “Your Tantal Press agency’s standards seem to be deteriorating. Why are you recruiting all kinds of people to the agency?”The manager had some tact. When he saw that it was Abel speaking, he went forward to greet him respectfully. After understanding the situation, he immediately said that he would handle the employees

    “Did you think I was joking when I said that I would personally handle it?” Abel said.Ruth was moved. “Thank you! I’ll reward you with a kiss!” She leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips.Abel was stunned for a moment. His gaze was warm, but his expression remained cold. “There are still people around. You should be careful.”Kallan was speechless. “Treat me like a sack of potatoes, it’s fine! I’ll count myself lucky if you two don’t end up arguing again.”Ruth chose a photographer whom she had worked with before and said that she still had to think about the venue because she had to take care of some special guests.At this point, Abel asked, “Do you want to invite your aunt?”Ruth did not even look up from the tablet. “Of course, and her whole family!”Understanding flashed across Abel’s eyes. If she had a family, then being a voluntary celibate was just a cover for Ruth’s aunt.When they were almost home, Ruth put down her tablet and picked up her phone again. She

    Ruth’s eyes lit up. She sat cross-legged on the sofa and hugged a cushion to her body. She was ready for some gossip!Abel told her about Notus’s affair.After that, Ruth pinched her chin and frowned in deep thought. “Well, it does seem like she was unjustly criticized by outsiders, doesn’t it?”Abel’s voice was calm. “‘Heavy is the crown,’ and Janet willingly bore the weight.”Ruth’s mind snapped back to the present, and she looked at him with an unreadable gaze. “So, are you trying to defend Luna or not?”Abel was puzzled. “Why would I defend her?”“You just corrected me and told me not to call her an illegitimate daughter!”“I’m just trying to be objective.”Ruth ever so slightly raised her eyebrows at him.It was, indeed, good to keep things in an objective perspective. However, Abel was rarely objective about such details, especially when it came to someone Ruth hated.“What do you think?” Abel suddenly asked her.“What do I think?” Ruth was confused.“Do you agree wit

    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!
