Abel went upstairs and left Ruth alone at the dining table. She stared at the plate of vegetables while spaced out for a long time.A wedding…It was a little difficult to hold one right then. She did not want to publicly announce her relationship with Abel, since Lockton Corporation was still in the hands of others. What if they attacked him?But they could have the rings. After clearing her mind, she noticed the plate of greens in front of her, and she stared at it for a few seconds. “Was it that bad?”She grabbed a fork, took a piece of vegetable, and put it in her mouth.Her expression changed the next second, and she swiftly stood up, then bolted to the toilet. She rinsed her mouth several times after spitting the vegetable out.She could not help but feel admiration toward Abel. “He really is a warrior! He swallowed it expressionlessly despite how disgusting it is.”Abel went to review some papers in the study while Ruth went to bed after taking a shower and brow
Even the famous Apollo was just a supporting actor.It was impressive already that Luna could secure the role of a supporting actress.This had to be thanks to her connections.Caelus gently reached out to Luna. “I’m sorry that you have to bear with only being a supporting actress, my little princess. Come to Rising Star once you finish shooting this movie. I will use the best resources to build you up.”Luna was delighted, but she maintained a calm front. “Being able to work with an award-winning actor is something I’ve always dreamt of. I don't mind it at all.”“Luna, you’d better join Caelus’s company sooner rather than later! I’ll be able to hold my head up high in front of my classmates when you are awarded the best actress in the future!” Jasper made no effort to conceal his desire.Bella criticized him for what he said. Then, the entire family chattered happily in a harmonious atmosphere.“You should get going!” Callum reminded Luna. “Although you’re only a supporting act
It was 7 p.m. at Kinsale Clubhouse.Ruth met up with all the actors and found it regretful that she did not meet the richest man. Since Apollo was familiar with the script, he initiated the discussion, and everyone gradually became acquainted with each other.Ruth listened to the conversation for a while and noticed that everyone had studied the original work and was enthusiastic about it. She did not participate much in the discussion. Instead, she went to the balcony to get fresh air and call the atelier about the specifics of her wedding rings.She had been looking for wedding rings for the past few days, but she could not find any that satisfied her, so she got the idea to pick up a pen and design the rings herself.When the call was answered, the woman on the other end sounded excited. “Miss Ruth, I’ve received the sketches, and I must say that your design is amazing! However, they have high processing requirements, and we might be short of time.”“How soon can you get it d
“We’re all family, so get Luna back into the cast immediately. You don’t want to become enemies with me!” Callum said in a cold voice.“It’s impossible. Someone else has already been chosen for Remilia Walton’s role,” Ruth said without hesitation.Callum was fuming with anger because of Ruth, but, when he looked at her and saw her perfectly calm, as if she was in control of the situation, his heart started to race from anxiety.He had a hunch that Ruth was serious about her return to Sommerset this time. She was determined to get Lockton Corporation.But Callum had run Lockton Corporation for many years and had poured his heart and soul into it, so how could he just hand it over to her?Callum’s eyes were ferocious, and he spoke with menace in his voice. “Ruth, don’t forget, that old man at the hospital still needs my signature!”Ruth was ready to bypass him and leave after rejecting him, but when she heard those words, she froze and fixed her fierce gaze on him.Callum finall
Once night fell, the black Bentley sped down the road.Kallan looked at the man in the backseat through the rearview mirror. Abel had his eyes closed while he rested. After some thought, he ultimately chose to ask him. “Mr. Blakewell, the Rolls Royce has been fixed. Would you like to switch to it?”Abel did not have high requirements when it came to material things, which meant that he was easily satisfied when it came to material goods. Outsiders thought that he enjoyed collecting luxury cars, but he just wanted to use the most comfortable one.The Rolls-Royce was one of the good ones that caught his eye.Since he needed to fix the car and keep a low profile in front of his wife, he ordered to get him a Bentley to solve these two urgent problems.But he did not expect to drive it for so long.“No need,” Abel responded in a soft voice.Kallan was surprised. “Does Mrs. Blakewell still not know your real identity?”Abel opened his eyes and glanced at him. “Would you believe the
Apollo followed after her and got out of the car. He complained, “Abel, I think there’s something wrong with Vincent. Tonight, he kept on toasting Ruth! And he seemed to be quite aware of Ruth’s tolerance for alcohol, so he had no difficulty getting her drunk!”Ruth waved her hand in dismissal. “What bad intentions could Vincent have? He was just afraid that I'd beat him up.”Abel did not comment.“Honey, please carry me back. I can’t walk much more.”Abel remained silent.He then carried Ruth back into the house, set her down on the couch, and got up to make her honey water.Ruth kicked off her high heels and sprawled all over the couch. She looked up at the crystal chandelier above her head; the lighting was harsh and hurt her eyes.The Goldwell family was made of robbers who took everything she owned and even tried to control her.After all these years, they not only did not change in the slightest, but they even became more shameless and no longer had any morals.“Drink th
Apollo was shocked. “Ruth is injured? Who would dare to hit her?”He had seen how vicious Ruth was when she beat people up, yet someone actually managed to hit her?Just how badly beaten up was the other person, then?Wait…“When I heard Victor Dufor comfort her, he was also cursing Callum Goldwell. Does it have something to do with the Goldwell family? Luna Goldwell did audition for Remilia Walton’s role, and the actress playing Remilia Walton was missing today.”After he said this, everything became clear. Callum hit Ruth because he was trying to get a role for his youngest daughter. Abel looked down. His aura was cold. When Apollo noticed his brother’s bad mood, he started acting like a proper lackey and encouraged Abel to do something. “The Goldwell family went overboard by mistreating Ruth like this! Why don’t you reveal your true identity now? Kill that father-daughter pair and get Lockton Corporation back! You have to fight evil with evil when faced with people like tha
Ruth grabbed her phone and charged downstairs to argue with Abel, but she was stunned when she saw the living room. Servants in uniforms were cleaning up the place. She could even hear a nanny cooking in the kitchen. When she looked out through the french window, she saw a gardener tending to the plants in the courtyard. After standing frozen on the spot for a while, she suddenly smacked her own head. “Ack! Ow!”She was not dreaming. Abel was reading a magazine on the couch and had long since noticed that she came down. He was already prepared to hear her questions. To his surprise, however, she chose to do something weird instead. “Good morning,” he said with a smile. Ruth approached him while feeling dizzy. “What’s going on, Abel?”At that moment, Mrs. Greenwell came over and said respectfully, “Sir, Madam, brunch is ready.” Apollo came in from the courtyard. “You’re finally awake, Ruth! I just told Abel about these people that I hired.”Ruth was dumbfounded. “You
