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
Later that night, Luna read the online comments while she waited patiently in her room. She believed that Janet, being the proud woman she was, would not be able to tolerate such slander. Luna was certain that Janet would come to get even with her.In her anger, she might even do something.Luna was prepared. If Janet dared to make a move, it would be exactly what Luna wanted. With concrete evidence, she would be able to drag Janet through the mud. She might even have a chance to push Janet out of the Lovehart family.Luna had observed Notus’s attitude over the past few days. He did not like Janet, hated her, even. He even went along with Luna’s tricks.Even with her influence as Nicholas Blakewell’s wife, the attention could only develop to a certain extent. She needed something for that extra push.However, after waiting through the whole night, Janet did not come to see Luna. When Luna went out the next day, she learned that Janet had gone for a beauty treatment... at the E
Janet’s interest was piqued.When she took Luna to a high-class place, Luna was always timid and inexperienced.She was nothing like Ruth.Not only was she calm hearing about it, she even boasted about already having a membership herself.While Janet was miffed about it, she was also a little surprised. Ruth was actually worthy of Lyla’s attention!It made sense. After all, the first time Janet met Ruth, she felt that Ruth had more character than Luna.“Help me clean up, and you may all leave first.” Janet dismissed the beauticians indifferently.She ended the session early to have a good chat with Ruth.However, Ruth was not done enjoying herself. She said calmly to the beautician beside her, “Don’t go. You can continue. After the facial treatment, give me a full-body treatment. Don’t worry, I can afford it. Even if I can’t, Miss Janet is here.”Janet sputtered. She stared at Ruth coldly and could only watch and wait as Ruth finished with her beauty treatments.Afterward, Ru
There were two photos attached at the end of her comment. One was a family photo of the Lovehart family. The other was a photo of Katie, Janet, and Luna together.When Katie made the post, it broke the Internet.Countless articles started trending, and they were all about the Lovehart family.Most people were shocked by Katie’s identity, and a number of people were speculating what Katie meant by making this post.[No wonder Katie’s temperament is outstanding! She’s the real daughter of a wealthy family!][There’s no Luna in the family portrait. Does this mean that the Lovehart family hasn’t completely accepted Luna yet?][I’m so happy. The two beautiful ladies I like are actually biological sisters!][You’ve got to be kidding me! Katie is the legitimate daughter. How can that pathetic-looking Goldwell brat be worthy of the Lovehart family?][Hey, do you have to be so mean?! Katie has already acknowledged Luna!][Can’t you see it’s just a clarification? Do you think it’s some
