Giselle glared at him, but did not continue to argue with him. She could not help but feel regretful. “It’s such a pity for our Galen. He’s such a good child!”She had mentioned him twice, so there was no way Abel did not notice.He had heard from Galen that his sister was a celebrity. Knowing that Ruth was close to Demi, he understood the relationship between them. However, Demi was still trying to pair up Ruth and Galen?“What’s going on here?” He thought.“Aunt Giselle, you said that Galen has someone he likes and is preparing to get engaged. I wonder who the lucky lady is? And when did you guys try to pair him up with Ruth?” His voice was cold and indifferent, as if he was asking casually.However, as soon as he said this, Joel and Giselle immediately fell silent. It went without saying that it was really indecent of them to secretly undermine Abel and try to match-make Ruth, who was Abel’s WIFE, with their own son Galen, who was Abel’s FRIEND.What was worse was that not onl
She leaned into his arms and whispered into his ear, “Honey, you look so charming in a suit. It makes me want to pounce on you!”What she meant was that he was too attractive, and some women coveted him. However, he misunderstood her and thought that SHE really wanted to ravage him.There was nothing wrong with that.“Of course, I’m not putting on an act. I’m being sincere!”“I’ll give you a chance tonight.”While the two of them were whispering, a strong voice came over the speakers.“Everyone, thank you for attending my company’s anniversary celebration. I haven’t been in the country over the past few years. It has been hard on Sean to manage the company in my stead. From now on, I’ll do my best in taking over...”These words were a clear signal that the head of Lovehart Corporation had changed hands.Under everyone’s unsurprised gazes, Notus continued to speak on-stage, “Apart from this, I have two other things to announce today. One is that my youngest daughter is married t
But perhaps it was because of Lyla’s influence and her strong dislike of the Lovehart family that Tom did not view Katie favorably, so the marriage alliance did not happen.“Do you think the Lovehart family is regretting it now? Not just Katie, but the rest of the family. If they hadn’t provoked us at that time, the Lovehart family would have ties with the Blakewell family by now.” Ruth analyzed objectively.Abel glanced at her. “Is that the outcome you’re hoping for?”Ruth shrugged. “I’m just expressing a thought. But I haven’t asked you yet. Do you feel any regrets?”Abel asked, “What do I have to regret?”Ruth replied, “Do you regret that the one you met at the blind date that day wasn’t Katie? You didn’t recognize me before we got married. At that time, you were just looking for anyone to marry, right? It didn’t matter whether it was me or Katie. Think about it, if you had married Katie, the legitimate heiress of the Lovehart family, it would have given you an overwhelming adv
His low and magnetic voice was bewitching and provocative.Ruth’s eyelashes fluttered. She held his large hand and was about to lean in when she was distracted by a commotion at the door.She subconsciously turned to look.Abel frowned and moved to block her line of sight. “I’m not done talking. Pay attention.”But he was too late. Ruth saw that it was Callum at the door.Their intimate bubble burst in an instant, and excitement lit up her eyes.“It’s here. Today’s drama has arrived!”Abel was not interested. In fact, he was a little annoyed.What drama? Why was she so tactless?Callum and Bella had arrived with their invitation in hand, but as soon as they stepped inside, they were chased out by security. How could he endure such humiliation?“What are you doing? We’re Luna’s adoptive parents. Don’t you know us?”“Apologies, but your invitation letter isn’t valid.”“Nonsense! Get Luna to come out and see me! Tell her to come!”Then, there was a fierce bout of pushing and
Bella, when she saw that the main host had arrived, immediately intensified her accusations. “Mr. Notus, when you sought Luna back then, we didn’t stop you from acknowledging her, right? Although you’re her biological father, we’ve raised her for more than twenty years! For such an important matter like her marriage, how could you heartlessly keep it from us?”“Yeah! Luna doted on me the most! The person she marries should seek my approval to marry her! But you had it all arranged behind our backs!”“Jasper, don’t be rude to older people.” Callum pretended to reprimand his son and acted as though he was a kind father. “Mr. Notus, we’ve caused you trouble today. But we were worried sick about our daughter, so we took the liberty to come here.”Notus pursed his lips. He was displeased, but his expression was composed. “It’s only right for you to come. This was an oversight on my part.”“Is that so? That’s what you’re saying in front of everyone, but we were told differently just now!
Abel nodded. “Yes.”“Different families?” Janet repeated.Ruth smiled meaningfully. “Otherwise? Are you saying you want to be my family?”Janet was speechless. She stared at Ruth for a while before she finally walked away.......It was unclear what Luna had said to Bella, Callum, and Jasper, but their expressions became unpleasant. They forced a smile and gave her a few words of advice before mentioning that they had something to attend to and left.Before they left, they subconsciously glanced at Ruth.After Ruth ended her conversation with Janet, she turned and happened to meet Callum’s gaze.He quickly averted his gaze, as though he felt guilty about something, and hurriedly left.Ruth stayed where she was and narrowed her eyes at the entrance before she turned toward the direction Janet had taken. “What do you think Luna said to them?”“Probably about some of the shady things they’ve done. They seem to feel guilty about something,” Abel replied calmly.Ruth lamented, “T
Ruth also nodded slightly in greeting.Notus had completely forgotten about the commotion at the door and was now warmly concerned about the two of them. He even invited them to his house for a small gathering after the banquet ended, saying that he had not seen them for a long time.Ruth did not show it on her face, but she could not help but mentally roll her eyes. This old goat had some nerve!Just as she was waiting to see how Abel would reject him, Abel patted her shoulder and said gently, “Your friend is over there. Why don’t you go have a chat with her?”Ruth looked in the direction he was pointing. “Pearl Harlem?”“Yes, she doesn’t seem familiar with those people.”Ruth turned and excused herself to Notus before she walked away.Notus’s smile disappeared, and he glowered at Abel. “What’s in it for you to let her distance herself from me?”Abel smirked. “Uncle Notus, you’ve misunderstood. It won’t do for you to let Tom’s woman get into trouble in your territory.”Notus
She did not give a straight answer, but her words showed her intention. She had indeed come to step in.Ruth walked over to Pearl’s side. Pearl, who had been standing stiff with feigned calmness, was suddenly full of confidence.She held Ruth’s arm, raised her head proudly, and said, “If it’s not enough, I can go get more!”Ruth was speechless as she thought. “You’re too arrogant! Shouldn’t you have introduced me to them first? Where did these two come from?”“You’ve got a big attitude!” The long-haired woman laughed and shot Ruth a glare. “Mrs. Blakewell, right? This is a private matter. Are you sure you want to interfere?”When she was targeting Pearl, she had been standing at the back. Unlike the short-haired woman, who openly mocked and belittled Pearl on Katie’s behalf, the long-haired woman seemed like she was waiting for an opportunity to deliberately cause trouble.The short-haired woman paused and suddenly gloated, “Sally is Aquilo’s girlfriend and the future lady of the
