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
His breath came down and mingled with Ruth’s. It made her feel as if the air had become thinner. She immediately became a little nervous and mumbled, “I don’t know the type of kisses you do.”“I suppose it’s my fault for not teaching you.”He drew closer while saying that. Ruth moved back feeling unprecedentedly uneasy. Her mind raced. “If you’re going to kiss me, do it! Stop moving so slowly to torment me! My heart’s about to reach the speed of light here!”Just when his mouth was going to touch hers, there was a knock on the door. “Abel, Ruth, your food’s cold. Are you two done?”Ruth whipped her head to the side and forced herself to sound calm. “We’re coming out soon. Start without us.”Then, she turned to Abel and pointed to the door. “Your friend’s asking us to hurry up.”Abel had stopped moving. He did not get up but did not give any answer either, as if he was doing this on purpose. He just stared at her intensely. For some reason, Ruth felt that she always lost t
