Chapter 629

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
However, Ruth was not in the mood for gossip. Her mind was filled with what Abel had just said.

“Are you serious? What good would it do for him to lie? Did he say that just to protect my reputation?”

“Are you tired?” Abel asked with concern. “We’ll leave once you’re finished with the game.”

Ruth was speechless. From his tone, it made it look like SHE was the one who wanted to play this drinking game.

“Let’s go now!”

Abel was never really into the game. He just came because he was already here and wanted to show courtesy to Matt, the resort owner, and enjoy a meal.

Everyone already knew this about him. Therefore, no one was surprised that they left early.

Coincidentally, it was more convenient for them to gossip about the couple after they left.

As soon as the door of the private room closed, the young heir who started the game immediately became excited. “Abel and Ruth actually knew each other from before! Their connection runs so deep! No wonder Abel never got close to other w

    Ruth’s excuse for leaving was because she was tired.As the owner of the resort, Matt knew that they wanted to leave the party, but he could not really say much against it. Instead, he thoughtfully arranged a room for them to rest in.Coincidentally, Abel was not thinking about resting as he brought Ruth to their room.The moment they entered the room, Abel’s phone rang. He went to answer it on the balcony.Ruth poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down to calm herself down.As soon as she put down the cup, she saw Abel finish up his call and return from the balcony. His calm gaze landed on her.Then, his gaze moved down and landed on the empty glass of water on the coffee table.Ruth followed his gaze and said angrily, “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a lady drink water?”Abel said calmly, “I’ve never seen a lady pour only for herself.”Ruth’s eye twitched as an impulse to retort surged within her. Didn’t he have hands? He could pour himself a drink!

    However, just as she took a step, a strong force tightened around her wrist and pulled her down. She immediately fell into a firm embrace.Ruth was in a fit of rage. Just like the countless times they had exchanged blows in the past, she instinctively swung her hand.Slap!Abel did not evade it, nor did he intend to exchange blows with her. He simply took the hard slap.Stunned, Ruth sat in his arms and stopped struggling.The air was dead silent.She curled her fingers and looked up at the handsome face she had struck. “I... Why didn’t you dodge? I thought you wanted to fight me.”“Violence done out of anger is called domestic violence,” the man said in a low voice. “Are you calm now?”Ruth was silent.“You should be well aware of my relationship with Katie. If you’re still bothered by her now, then you really are stupid.”Ruth did not care about Katie’s little tricks. However, the unknown person who existed in his heart bothered her a lot. He even admitted that he had a cru

    That really was not the point. Ruth asked, “How did Lily’s lighter end up in your hands?”Abel asked, “You’re asking me?”Was she speaking in another language? Was it something she could not ask about?However, when she met his cold eyes, she inexplicably felt that she should not have asked.But if she did not ask, her mind would be even more confused.So, the woman he had a crush on was Lily? That was even more ridiculous. Just impossible.Seeing the change in her expression, Abel reminded her kindly, “You participated in the Lost Legends League, right? I couldn’t find any information about you, and the car you used belonged to the Cavendish family.”“Why were you investigating this?” Ruth asked instinctively.“During the league, I was drugged and assaulted in the VIP lounge. Do you think I would let that slide?”“Oh, that humiliating incident happened overseas. But wasn’t that Frank’s doing? The woman who went into his room wasn’t Katie?! Wait a minute...”Ruth recalled

    Ruth pursed her lips and stole a glance at his face. She muttered softly, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”“So, it wasn’t on purpose when you readily called me a hypocrite?”Ruth shut up.“You even called me a liar. Do you really believe me to be the kind of person who casually lies about relationships?”Ruth lowered her head even more.How could she maintain her rationality when she was furious?! She just wanted to say whatever came to her mind, even if it sounded harsh.“I can let all this slide,” Abel suddenly said.Ruth snapped up and stared at him in surprise. She could not believe that he would be so magnanimous as to let it go.As expected, Abel had more to say. “But do you remember what we agreed on?”Ruth was confused. “Agreed on? What agreement?”Abel looked at her coldly. “In order to avoid unnecessary quarrels and maintain the harmony between husband and wife, when you are dissatisfied with the other party’s actions or words, use the agreed secret signal to stop the q

    When Ruth heard him, she instinctively turned to him.Abel placed the first aid kit on the coffee table.Ruth was at a loss for a few seconds before she immediately reacted. She nodded and quickly opened the first aid kit to help him tend to his wound.The swelling on her face was fine, but some ice would help make it disappear. However, the place at his jawline where her nails scratched him was not so simple.Ruth carefully disinfected the wound with a cotton swab. At such a close distance, she could almost see all the hair follicles on his face, but she could not see his pores.His skin was perfect…“Ouch!” The man gasped and Ruth quickly retracted her hand. “I’m sorry, I didn’t use that much strength!”Abel glowered at her. He said in a drawl, “You still intend to use more strength?”Ruth was speechless.Why did that phrase sound so strange?She did not give it much thought and only softened her actions. She could not help but mutter softly, “Can’t leave a scar.”As soo

    Demi glared at her.Serenity also sensed Ruth’s despondency at her statement and tried her best to make up for it. “But you’re married. It’s different from dating, right? You shouldn’t break up just like that!”“We argued.” Ruth turned around and looked up at the chandelier above her, sighing softly.Demi imitated her actions and leaned back. “It’s normal to argue. Apollo and I argue every day.”Ruth turned to her. “Really? Did he hit you?”Demi was shocked. “Abel hit you?!”Serenity was also angry. “He got physical with you?!”Ruth pursed her lips and fell silent for a few seconds. “Is hitting someone really unforgivable?”Demi raised her voice. “Of course! That’s domestic violence! Where were you hurt?”As she spoke, she picked Ruth up and tried to examine her.Serenity was calmer and only reminded her softly, “Have you forgotten that she’s Dulcie’s senior? There’s no telling who would actually come out on the losing end if they fought for real.”The mood turned awkward.

    The warm lights in the courtyard spilled onto the snow, dyeing the cold scenery around in yellow hues.Abel was still aloof and arrogant, as if a barrier had been erected around him to keep others at bay. However, it was this sentence that showed the crack in his icy exterior.The familiar feeling returned.He was indeed very angry, but he was not so angry that he really ignored her. Instead, he was giving her a chance to find a way to make it up to him.Ruth blinked and suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart and a lump in her throat.She lowered her head and buried her face in his neck. “I just haven’t thought about it yet, so I didn’t dare to go back to the room.”Her voice was soft and a little choked, which made Abel’s body stiffen. His grip on her waist tightened. “There are times when you’re afraid?”“Yeah. You’re scary when you’re angry. I thought you didn’t want anything to do with me.”Abel was speechless.In his opinion, other than the obvious guilt she felt befor

    Abel did not say anything, and alarm bells rang in Ruth’s head.Oh no, as the guilty party, how could she even think about falling asleep?“T-To be honest, it was just okay. I wasn’t really in the mood—”“You promised to bathe in the hot spring with me, but ended up enjoying it without me,” Abel said in a low voice. It was hard to tell what he was feeling.Ruth scratched her head and thought of a simple solution. “Why don’t I stay with you for a while longer?”Abel nodded. “Sure.”Ten minutes later, Abel leaned comfortably against the side of the hot spring with his arms spread open and his eyes closed. His sharp facial features were blurred by the warm mist.Ruth was wrapped in a robe as she knelt by the side and massaged his shoulders diligently.“Honey, is there any point in soaking alone? Isn’t it bad to enslave me like this?”Abel lifted his eyes and glanced at her. His voice was cold. “Do you think it’s fun to soak alone?”Ruth was speechless.Fine, she had been too ca

    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!
