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

    Ruth did not know anything about analyzing the stock market. All she knew was that luck was also a skill. “No way! Of course I remember! I did my analysis on a strong foundation. I read plenty of financial news over this period of time!”Abel could not be bothered to expose her. He could tell on their wedding night that Ruth had a low alcohol tolerance and did not remember what she did when she woke up.“Stop drinking outside. You might end up getting abducted by human traffickers.”Ruth was rendered speechless. Then, she turned to look at him. His gaze was profound, and there was resignation in his eyes. Ruth felt a little guilty because it felt as if he could see straight through her. After all, this was not the first time she got drunk in front of him, and it was no secret that she blacked out when she got drunk. But, in a show of consideration, he did not expose her and protected her dignity. When she remembered how she had doubted him when she woke up, regret flooded

    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!
