Chapter 669

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
“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

    Abel happened to see this last message when he checked the group chat.Abel: Even if you begged me for another car, it’s useless. You’re just going to have Ruth give you a ride whenever you visit us.It took Apollo a long time to finally figure it out. So, the reason why his beloved car was disposed of was because, a long time ago, he had asked Ruth to give him a ride...Was such an extreme reaction necessary?!Gabriel: Buy him a new one! @AbelLyla: Buy one for him now! @Abel......On the set of a certain drama, Apollo was wrapped in a down jacket and sitting in a corner.When he saw the messages, he was utterly shocked.To think that something like this would happen.What Ruth said was absolutely true! Men who doted on their wives would not do badly!He immediately tried even harder to get the jewelry from Ruth. He planned to give them to Demi and make her happy. Apollo replied, [There’s no hurry for the car, but you have to give me the jewelry. I’ll buy them from you!

    The communication between them was often like this.If there was an emergency, they would call each other. If either one sent a message, the other would usually after waking up.“She contacted you last night, and I replied.”Surprised, Ruth closed the door, then went back upstairs to find her phone and opened the messaging app.What she saw when she opened it took her by surprise.Some men had such a strong desire to share, especially late at nightIn her group chat with Demi and Serenity, she had more than ninety-nine unread messages. The same was true for the conversations with Seema’s workshop and George. Even Pearl and Albert were not spared from the barrage of stunning photos.All of them had replied, but the messages were all marked as unread. Abel had only focused on sending the photos and did not seem interested in what they had to say about them.The only conversation that was not unread was the one with her aunt, which she had to scroll further down to find.[Auntie,

    That was true.Although Reina was laid-back and treated Ruth and Lily with a hands-off approach, she had high expectations for their partners.Ruth could get away with her antics and coax her aunt by acting playful. However, that cold and haughty duke had made it clear that their future husbands had to excel in all aspects.Abel’s eyes flickered as he asked, “You call him Duke Cavendish?”Ruth said casually, “Yes, didn’t you find out about my overseas connections?”Abel asked again, “Why not call him Uncle?”Ruth was speechless.“Don’t change the subject! Are you deliberately trying to leave a bad impression on them? Do you not care about first impressions in front of my family?!” She decided to play the morality card upfront.Abel did not press further, and his attitude became serious again. “Of course not! Couldn’t you tell by my attitude toward your grandfather?”Ruth pressed her lips into a thin line. She could tell, and this was not the time to dig into Abel’s faults.“W

    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!
