“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.“
She had thought it through. Even if the press conference was ruined, she would still be introduced to the public.As long as the Lovehart family did not publicly give up on her, she would still be a member of the Lovehart family.They wanted to kick her out without saying a word?Dream on!She wanted to expose Ruth’s identity and make Janet feel disgusted. She also wanted to hold onto this position to secure benefits for her future.After all, Janet was right about one thing: one had to work hard to achieve one’s goals.The living room returned to silence.Katie and Janet had different thoughts about what had just transpired and did not speak for a while.After some time, Katie spoke first, “Mom, do you think her words can be trusted? Is Ruth really...”She did not finish her sentence. She was puzzled and in disbelief.“She’s just tricking us! She wants to sow discord,” Janet said. She paused for a second and added coldly, “But there’s no smoke without fire. We have to invest
