A few seconds later, a phone in the glove compartment rang.Ruth paused for a moment and finally looked up at the driver. She assumed that he was her usual driver, so she politely said, “You may go first. I’ll wait for someone to pick me up.”The driver ignored her, took out his phone, and answered it.At the same time, Ruth’s call went through. Her cold tone changed instantly. “Honey… I’m drunk...”“So drunk that you can’t even recognize me?”Ruth’s hand paused, and she thought she was hallucinating. The voices overlapped. Abel’s voice on the phone and the driver’s voice in the car came at the same time.Ruth craned her neck to look at the driver from the rearview mirror and said into the receiver, “Say something again.”Abel remained silent on the other end of the call. The long silence did not stop Ruth’s curiosity. She tilted her head and placed her hand on the driver’s seat. She wanted to confirm her guess.Abel put down his phone and let out a soft sigh. He moved his
Ruth, who was completely oblivious, nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah! We shared a lot of secrets tonight!”Abel asked, “Like what?”Ruth opened her mouth, but she suddenly stopped herself and cautiously closed her mouth. “It’s girl talk, so I can’t tell you!”Abel’s lips twitched. “Looks like Joey was useless.”“Huh?”“Let’s talk about husband-and-wife things.”Before Ruth could reply, Abel grabbed her chin and pulled her into a passionate kiss. She paused momentarily before she placed her hands on his shoulders and slowly responded.Her sweet breath mixed with the smell of alcohol made Abel gradually lose his mind. Especially when he looked into her charming gaze, his own eyes darkened.“You’ll definitely remember this when you wake up tomorrow?” he asked hoarsely.“Yeeeees?”“Remember it well, then.”Ruth’s entire body relaxed as she let him play with her. She turned around and held the steering wheel as she looked out the window at the courtyard. Abel held her waist and pre
At times like these, Simon did not need to seek permission anymore. He followed up with a statement saying that Lockton Entertainment would also never work with immoral artists.Grand Empire was the leading company in the entertainment industry. When they made a statement, it could be seen as taking a stand against unethical behavior. However, Lockton Entertainment’s statement sparked a lot of discussion.[They’re family, after all. Is it really necessary to kick someone when they’re down?][Who gave you the right to be so self-righteous? Luna’s a real homewrecker! Does anyone have to show mercy to someone like that just because of blood ties?][Imma tell you something shocking. Luna has already ditched the Goldwell family to join the Lovehart family!][I’ll stand on Miss Ruth’s side this time. Well done!][Speaking of which, when the video was released, Miss Ruth didn’t dare say a word. Now, with Seema clearing their name, Lockton Entertainment quickly issued this statement. Doe
Alarm bells were blaring in Ruth’s head.Looking at Abel’s deep, dark eyes, she could see a hint of amusement in them. It was obvious that he was teasing her on purpose.She smiled and said generously, “Why can’t I tell you? We were just discussing our problems and asking about each other’s love lives!”“You’re—”“Gasp!” Ruth gasped and interrupted Abel’s questioning.The man was stunned. When he saw her uncomfortable expression, worry flashed across his eyes. “What’s wrong?”Ruth rubbed her waist. “Did I get into a fight with someone last night? My whole body feels sore!”Abel was speechless.“My legs are also sore! Didn’t anyone send me back? Did I walk home by myself?” She widened her eyes and looked at Abel in disbelief. “No way! It’s fine if you didn’t pick me up, but where was Eilam?”Seeing that Eilam was about to lose his job, Abel said, “Do you need to go to the hospital?”Ruth shook her head. “It’s not necessary.”“Come here.”Ruth was immediately on guard. She gl
Since that was the case, Ruth decided not to pretend anymore.She hugged Abel’s neck and asked sweetly, “Then do you still mean what you said last night?”Abel understood what she meant and replied, “Yes.”This time, there was tacit understanding, and he did not expose her.After receiving that answer, Ruth’s waist no longer felt sore, and her legs were no longer weak. She cupped his face and planted a kiss on his cheek. Then, she jumped out of his arms and walked quickly into the house.Abel touched the side of his face and stared at her back. He did not hide the grin on his face.......After dinner, Abel went to the study as usual to deal with some unfinished work.Less than two minutes after he sat down, there was a knock on the door.“Come in,” he said.The door opened and Ruth walked in. She said in a clear, even voice, “Hey, handsome, is that seat beside you taken?”Abel’s gaze landed on her and he froze.Ruth was dressed in a simple white dress. Her hair draped natu
This was supposed to be their first dating experience. She even dressed up and came up with a little scene to set the mood at the last minute, but it ended with her getting humiliated!She told all this to her best friends through a video call. At the other end of the call, Demi howled with laughter. Dulcie showed a bit more restraint. She kindly stopped Demi and advised her, “It’s nothing. Don’t you usually get humiliated in front of Abel and Alex? She’ll get used to it, too.”“How can I get used to it?! Every time I get humiliated, it’s always in different ways!” Ruth sounded like her world was ending.Demi tried to stifle her laughter as she said, “That’s impressive! Ordinary people can’t achieve that!”Ruth deadpanned, “Thank you. That does not comfort me at all.”“Geez, fine! It’s a sign from the universe telling you that dating isn’t for you! Why don’t you get started on work? When is the Lady in Red line going on the market? The expectation is so high that I’m getting nervo
However, a man like Alex actually agreed with Serenity’s style of doing things?Ruth could not understand this and asked Dulcie for clarification.Dulcie took the opportunity to tell them what Alex had found. Serenity had investigated Joey some time ago and learned that there was actually another reason why Joey gave up his dream of becoming a professional racer.Saying that his family did not support it was a superficial excuse.To pave the way for his own son and reduce the competition, Sean greatly supported Aquilo’s hobbies. He even pulled some strings to elevate Aquilo’s standing in the racing circle. Around that time, Joey’s skills were on par with Aquilo’s. But then, the Lovehart family pressured Joey to leave the racing circle.“Whoa! What a plot twist! Aren’t they supposed to be best buddies?” Demi was shocked. Neither she nor Apollo could comprehend it.Dulcie continued, “Joey and Aquilo didn’t know about it, either.”Ruth thought for a moment. “That makes sense. Wit
Ruth actually had something on her mind.She had thought about asking Dulcie for help in acquiring some gossip overseas, but this was actually something Serenity excelled at. High society gossip and the intimate affairs between men and women were all things she had in-depth knowledge of.“Do you think Luna isn’t Notus’s daughter?” she asked after some thought.Serenity replied, “I thought it was quite obvious! Even a dog can see through the Lovehart family’s tricks!”Ruth was speechless. Maybe she had overestimated the “dog.”“But Luna is finished this time. No one in the Lovehart family will protect her, and Callum can’t do anything about it! Janet seems to be making a move. Sean is so preoccupied that he doesn’t even care about the Lockton family. You can focus on your own affairs!”Her words showed that she was aware of the situation. Ruth and Janet’s collaboration and the Lovehart family’s twists and turns did not escape Serenity’s notice.Ruth decided to ask directly, “Do y
