Chapter 650

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
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

    Ruth squatted down thoughtfully. Her gaze was oppressive. “Since you trust him so much, why go to such lengths to create this drama? You mentioned paying a price. Did you intend to use this dispute to attract everyone’s attention? To expose your relationship with Aquilo and sabotage the engagement?”Sally avoided her gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”“It’s okay if you don’t understand, but when you were timing your fall, you saw Aquilo, right? Why do you think he didn’t follow you?”Sally subconsciously looked at the passage exit.Pearl did not really understand what they were talking about.She glanced at the passage as well and politely asked, “Why? She didn’t get a clear view?”Ruth smiled. “Look carefully. Either it’s because he thought it was unnecessary, or you’re not allowed to be here.”Sally became agitated. “He must have been stopped. Otherwise, he would definitely come here!”Ruth’s smile grew wider. “Silly girl, if he really wanted to come over, even a

    Notus’s smile did not change. He sized up the two of them and then looked at Ruth helplessly. “It’s good that you’re not injured. Go in. I’ll take over here.”Pearl was stunned.“You’re a girl. Don’t be too impulsive next time you encounter such a problem. It wouldn’t be good if others saw you.”These two simple sentences contained a lot of meaning.He had seen everything.It also confirmed what Ruth had guessed. Aquilo was indeed prepared to come over, but he was stopped. What they did was only permitted because of Notus.Pearl was shocked by this conclusion. She stared blankly at Ruth.Ruth’s smirk had disappeared, and she said slowly, “It’s not that I’m impulsive. I just feel that some lovesick girls are too pitiful. If your lover had been lucky enough to meet someone who helped keep a clear head before she met you, she wouldn’t have ended up like that, too.”Notus’s expression changed. “You—”“Then, I’ll leave the rest to you! I helped you clear the obstacle to Aquilo’s en

    That explained how Pearl greeted her when she first spotted Ruth.In other words, she had not even been sure if Ruth was there. Had she just been testing the waters by using their names?“Why are you here alone?” Ruth asked curiously.Pearl stayed silent.Ruth pursed her lips. Right. She forgot that they were no longer friends. She turned around and gave Abel a look.Abel got the signal and was about to ask, but changed his mind in the end.However, when they sent her to her house, he reminded Pearl, “For two people to make it work, the most important things are trust and communication.”Pearl’s hand on the car door handle froze. She turned back around nervously. “You told Tom?”Abel said, “No, but it might not be the same next time.”Pearl lowered her head and thanked him in a murmur. Then, she pushed open the car door and ran into the house.Ruth looked at Pearl’s retreating figure, then she looked at Abel as if she just understood something.Pearl had heard about the marr

    Ruth looked up at him and saw the suggestiveness in his deep gaze.This charming gaze was too familiar.Unknowingly, her mind helpfully recalled the bold words she had uttered. “I want to pounce on you right now.”Recalling what happened tonight, her impression of Abel once again improved. He was completely different from the typical rich playboys. He was calm and calculative. Moreover, despite his fame and fortune, he was still sincere and upright.Ruth had really chosen a wonderful husband.When the thought crossed her mind, she felt warmth in her heart.Her eyes shimmered. Then, she clutched his shoulders and raised her head to kiss him.Abel looked at those beautiful eyes, which went from confusion to shyness, and then to familiar joy and passion. His heart stirred when she kissed him.He was stunned for a moment before he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.The partition was slowly set in place without their notice.In the cramped space of the back seat, fill

    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!
