When Callum heard this, hope lit up in his fearful eyes. “Ruth, I was framed. Someone is trying to tear our family apart! Please don’t call the police. Let’s resolve our family issues ourselves, without outsiders interfering. I’ll compensate you—”Ruth stared at him for a few seconds without saying anything, but her smile grew colder as the seconds passed. This silent stare made Callum’s mind tense up, and his voice became softer.“You... You can’t be this heartless. After all, I’m your biological father, right?”“Biological father? Are you sure about that?” Ruth’s voice was cold and deep. Under Callum’s panicked gaze, she continued, “Let’s not even talk about how unworthy you are. You’re worse than an animal, willing to sacrifice your wife and father-in-law for your own gain!”Whatever glimmer of hope Callum had earlier had completely disappeared. “You... You really know? Impossible! He said this method leaves no trace, and no one can trace it—Argh!”Before he could finish his
The sound of police sirens was getting closer and closer. Ruth could not be bothered to waste her breath anymore. She got up, tidied herself up, and leisurely descended the stairs.When she appeared at the staircase, she drew a group of terrified gazes.Everyone had heard the muffled screams from upstairs. It was unbelievable. This crazy girl was really like this...“Ruth! What goes around, comes around! Aren’t you afraid of retribution for bullying and disowning your own family?” Andrew’s face was livid, but he forced himself to remain calm.He did not dare to confront these bodyguards head-on, but he still dared to scold Ruth.Ruth glanced at him and sneered. “That’s right, what goes around, comes around. There will be consequences.”Andrew was speechless.Police cars soon filled the courtyard.When Callum was taken away, his face was pale, and he could not walk steadily. The two police officers flanking him almost had to drag him into the police car.When he passed by the d
“Dulcie, stop treating this place like it’s a crime scene investigation. What do you see?” George pretended to rebuke her.With a smile on her face, Dulcie turned back and said, “I can see that these are all expensive breeds. You have good taste!”George chuckled. “I’m just passing the time, since there’s nothing else to do.”They laughed and chatted as they entered the house. Ruth hesitated for a while before she decided to tell George about Callum’s arrest. After all, he was a victim.She tried her best to be tactful because she was worried that George would be as disappointed as she was.Unexpectedly, he was only surprised for a moment before sighing. “It’s karma, I tell you.”Ruth blurted out, “You don’t seem surprised.”George smiled. “I may be old, but I’m not stupid. I had my suspicions about Rose’s condition back then, but I couldn’t find any evidence. I also knew the formula for the medicines he gave me...”He even knew how to modify the formula, making it non-lethal,

The stylist had served many rich wives and was not inexperienced in this field. She honed her attitude to be respectful but not obsequious. It was a perfect balance. However, over the past few days, the extravagance of this billionaire’s household had left her in awe.Especially at this moment, the stylist could not contain her excitement. After all, which woman could resist such a collection of masterpieces? She sat across from Ruth, and her hands hovered near the jewelry box. It seemed like she wanted to reach for the jewelry, but she also wanted to maintain some restraint, so she hesitated. Eventually, she could not resist any longer and cautiously touched the box with her fingertips.Seeing her awkward behavior, Ruth smiled. “Do you like Seema’s designs?”The stylist nodded vigorously. “I like them very much, but her pieces are always in such high demand, and there are limited slots for pre-orders. I’ve never been able to get a single one! This set is my favorite. There are only
The photoshoot team was very professional, and Ruth and Abel both had exceptional looks, so the entire process went very smoothly.The photographer could not help but marvel at every frame as he considered them to be potential masterpiece materialWhen it was over, Ruth had just changed her clothes when she heard someone call for her. She was a bit surprised and turned to see Maureen, the stylist, with a slightly apologetic look.“I’m sorry, Mrs. Blakewell. I was too excited just now and shared the pictures with my friend! She said that the matching of the outfit and accessories looked so good that she rushed here to propose a collaboration.”Ruth’s eyes flickered. She was shocked by the efficiency of the Ouyan brand.Thinking that Ruth might be upset, Maureen quickly added, “I understand that this is your private time, and it’s inappropriate for us to intrude. I’ll reject her now.”“There’s no need for that. Since she’s already here, let’s talk.”The person in charge of Ouyan’s
As his handsome face came close to hers, Ruth’s mind became a mess.What was she like when they just got married?Abel kindly helped her remember. “Back then, you really liked me. You even cashed out all the stocks that were doing well to help me repay my debts.”Ruth chuckled. “It’s only right, no need to be too touched...”“But now, you’re enslaving me to work overtime for a small collaboration. Have your feelings faded?”“How can you call it a small collaboration...”At this point, Ruth swallowed the rest of her words. What she had to clarify first was... “How can my feelings fade? I only keep liking you more and more!”Her lively expression seemed serious, but those who knew her well understood that the more serious she was, the more guilty she felt.Abel narrowed his eyes, and they glinted with a dangerous light as he leaned in even closer.“Really? Then prove it to me!”Ruth was getting a headache.What could she do when her husband had “love on the brain”?She had
Ruth did not say anything and quietly buried her face in his arms.“Your banking password?” Abel asked.Ruth continued to play dead in silence.Under the warm light, he could vaguely see the girl’s red ears, which confirmed his guess.Abel could not help but laugh. He raised his hand and slapped her butt lightly. “You little money-grubber! You’re obsessed with money!”......Later that night, as soon as Tom finished his surgery and Galen had sorted out the case details, their phones started vibrating.They took out their phones. There were over ninety-nine chat notifications from a three-person group chat they were in. When they tapped on it, their screens were immediately filled with a long series of pictures.Galen flipped through a few of them and left the chat in confusion. “What does this mean?”Tom did not quite understand it either and replied, [Were you planning to send these to the family group chat but posted them in the wrong place?]After a while, just as he and G
