Chapter 600

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
After Callum left the ward, Ruth pestered George for a long time.

She clearly knew that there was something wrong with Callum. Knowing that he had issues about Ruth being fully capable of taking over Lockton Corporation without anyone’s help or support, why would he make such a decision?

Did he want her to thank him?

Was what Callum had done all these years worth thanking?

She only hated herself for not having enough evidence to publicize what he had done.

George was still smiling. His voice was gentle and loving. “Are you still upset about this? After all, he’s your father. Just give him some idle shares to show you’re a filial daughter!”

Ruth suddenly asked, “Grandpa, is he really my father?”

George paused for a moment before laughing. “He’s certainly not the greatest father, but we can’t stoop to his level!”

Ruth was silent. After knowing that she could not get anything out of him, she gave up.

She stayed with George for a while longer before leaving the ward unhappily.

    It was absolutely impossible to ignore this outcome!She told Abel about what happened in the ward just now. After hearing this, the latter was silent for a few seconds before speaking indifferently.“Grandpa has his own thoughts on the matter. Haven’t you always listened to him? Why are you so upset now?”Ruth looked at him in disbelief.Abel felt her gaze and tilted his head to look at her. “What’s wrong?”Ruth asked, “Are you trying to get me to accept this outcome?”Abel paused for a moment. “No, I was just curious. I thought that with your personality, you wouldn’t mind.”Ruth pursed her lips and remained silent.Her grandfather might be surprised by her objections, but Abel definitely should not be surprised.He knew that there was something wrong with her grandfather’s medicine in the past, and he also knew how dissatisfied she was with the Goldwell family.More importantly, he had always supported her decisions unconditionally in the past. He rarely tried to convince

    “Isn’t that obvious?” Ruth thought to herself.There was something wrong with Luna’s identity. The information was too flawless. It was obvious that someone had deliberately set it up. Moreover, if Ruth’s guess was correct, the person behind this should be Sean.The Lovehart family’s trivial affairs had dragged the Lockton family into it…Anyway, this was not new information.Ruth lost interest and tore off the mask on her face. Just as she was about to say something, Serenity said, “Wow! You really are depressed! Are you out of your mind?”Ruth was silent.“Don’t you think these earrings look familiar?”“Huh?”“They belong to you! To be precise, they’re the earrings your mother left for you!”The water sloshed as Ruth slowly sat up straight and looked at her phone. She opened the image file again and looked at the picture seriously.At the same time, Serenity’s disbelieving tone came from the other end of the phone. “Did you really forget? The first time I came to your house

    Ruth paused for a while and suddenly smiled. She leaned back leisurely and popped some of the bubbles in the bathwater. “I think I understand.”It was obvious that Abel did not like Notus. If they were collaborating, it had to be because of something he cared about.Abel supported Notus’s actions and hoped that the Lovehart family’s press conference would go smoothly. This matter clearly had nothing to do with Abel himself, so it could only be related to Ruth.Therefore, he also hoped that the position taken over by Luna would not receive too much criticism.Eilam was her personal bodyguard. Keeping an eye on Notus could be considered part of the job, but Abel had specially instructed him not to tell her.He probably had the same thoughts as Serenity. He was afraid that Ruth would not be able to accept the truth if she were found out to be an illegitimate daughter.He had even corrected her before. He had specified that the daughter that Notus had been looking for was not illegit

    Their eyes met.Ruth was calm, but Abel was stunned for a moment.Then, he smiled and pinched her cheeks. “Ruth, you’re so smart. You should know that whatever we hide from you isn’t anything good, right? Thus, why would you worry about it?”Ruth slapped his hand away. “That makes sense, but what if I insist on asking?”Abel pursed his lips.After a while, just as he was about to speak, Ruth sighed softly and wrapped her arms around him. She buried her head in his neck. “Honey, thank you for being so good to me!”Abel held her waist and patted her back gently.“But I’m not a fragile little girl. My mental fortitude is far stronger than you think. So, don’t hold back when it comes to such things.”Regardless of whether it was him or George, they were both worried that she would be hurt.Ruth had thought about it. The only reason Callum could make her grandfather compromise and willingly give up 10% of the shares to ensure that he would not have to worry about living expenses fo

    Why did Abel know? That was the main point of Ruth’s question! It was clear he knew about it, but did not tell her anything!In the car, she even asked him about the surveillance cameras in the VIP ward, but he refused to talk about it.He even said something about protecting the patient’s privacy…“Very well!” Ruth thought.She had also decided that she would not bring a man with her to the hot springs!......When George woke up, the acting chairman of Lockton Corporation officially stepped down and handed over the company’s matters to the eldest daughter of the Lockton family. This piece of news spread quickly throughout the industry.On Monday morning, at the board meeting, a rare solemnity filled the air. Everyone praised Ruth for her achievements.The reason for all this reverence was because of the old man sitting at the head of the table.Even though he had been bedridden for many years, George’s authority did not diminish. The higher-ups of the company were also in aw

    Callum frowned. He did not like the expression on Ruth’s face. However, he was indeed curious.Unexpectedly, she took a few steps closer and leaned close to his ear. Callum only heard her gentle voice say slowly, “Because I am Seema.”Callum’s eyes widened. ......On the way back, George leaned against the back seat of the car and closed his eyes to rest. He looked a little tired. Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he opened his eyes and looked at Ruth beside him. “What were you whispering to your father just now? Why didn’t you let me hear it?”After sending a text, Ruth put down her phone and clung to his arm. “Don’t you also have secrets that you don’t want me to know?”George chuckled. “Brat, are you still holding a grudge against me?”Ruth said, “Of course! But I can give you a chance to redeem yourself. How about we exchange secrets?”George said, “There’s nothing much to exchange. I don’t have any secrets. You don’t have to look into it too deeply.”Ru

    Katie paused for a moment. She could not hide the reluctance on her face. “But Mom, this shouldn’t have happened!”In the past, she knew that Abel had someone in his heart. She knew that she could not simply take that woman’s place, so she did not force him to like her and gave him more space. She thought that when reality finally caught up to him, he would realize who the perfect girl for him was.When that time came, he would take the initiative to pursue her!Alas, what happened instead?Another woman had waltzed into his heart and became even more important to Abel than the first woman!Katie could not accept such an outcome!She could accept losing to that mysterious woman! After all, she was one step too late to claim Abel’s heart.However, to lose to Ruth, someone who appeared out of nowhere, was hard to accept.What did Ruth do to deserve this?In terms of family background, talent, looks, reputation, and status, how could Ruth have beaten her?“When it comes to relat

    “What kind of cheap love is that? Buying me clothes and a few handbags? Do I need any more of them? He said he would reveal my identity, then he should just do it! In front of the cameras, let everyone see his illegitimate daughter!”Regardless of what choice he made, the public would gossip anyway.If he really valued her and wanted to introduce her to the public, he would bring her into the upper-class circles and integrate her into the Lovehart family!Janet and Katie looked like they had been struck by lightning.Katie’s gaze became colder as she looked at Luna. “You disgusting loser! How can we ever introduce you to the public when you look like that? You don’t know your place! You messed things up! Despite that, you still want to take your anger out on us?”If it was in the past, Luna would feel ashamed and angry when she heard these insults. Alas, she did not care anymore.She was already in hell. Thus, all she wanted was to take the person who pushed her down with her.“

    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!
