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
The Blakewell family had been very busy recently, mainly due to preparations for the upcoming New Year’s celebrations. This year would be special for them as it marked a significant reunion. However, the most important thing was that the Blakewell family was forming a relationship with the Lovehart family, and the families would be visiting each other. It was a matter of great importance.When Luna heard these rumors, she was overjoyed. Her former friends reconnected with her upon hearing this news. They used all kinds of reasons to explain their current situation and newfound awareness.This led to Luna making many new friends and successfully infiltrating the upper-class social circles.Of course, this would not have been possible without the help of Aquilo, who disliked Ruth from the bottom of his heart and thus favored Luna.......As New Year’s Eve approached, Gabriel called Ruth and Abel to invite them back to the Blakewell family’s mansion for dinner. He mentioned that it w
Apollo was stunned, and his confusion was written all over his forehead.How did Abel come to this conclusion?“That day, in the group chat, you were more urgent about receiving jewelry than a car. Mom suspects you might be gay and asked me about the men you’ve been close to lately.”The only person he could think of was Owen Salem, who had once “admitted” to a relationship with him.Apollo was so angry that he did not say anything for a long time. “Don’t you already know what my relationship to Owen is? It’s all for the sake of helping you cover up a lie.”Abel nodded. “I see, that makes sense.”Apollo’s mood improved a little. “That’s more like it! If you say it’s Solomon, I can tolerate it, but if you mention Owen, I won’t let you off the hook, especially if you mention it to Mom and Dad.”Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Apollo was a big fan of Solomon’s. Ever since Apollo became famous, he never played a supporting character except for when he got to act alo
She linked arms with Demi and walked inside naturally.Demi looked calm on the surface, but she was panicking on the inside.What was going on? She just wanted to quietly eat and enjoy some drama.The last time she met Lyla was at the Lovehart family’s anniversary celebration. They exchanged brief and polite greetings, without a chance for a more extended conversation. Demi’s impression of Lyla was one of grace, nobility, and inaccessibility.But why was the aloof Lyla, who barely paid any attention to anyone, suddenly so warm today? If Demi had known she would be so enthusiastic, she would not have come!She looked at Ruth for help. Ruth only gave her a reassuring look that said, “It’s okay, we have someone looking out for us tonight.”Apollo followed on the other side of Lyla unwillingly and whispered, “You remember her, didn’t I introduce her to you before? What ‘Galen’s sister’? Are you satisfied with her?”Lyla glared at him.Satisfied? She was very satisfied with this g
Lyla did not want to waste her breath on Aquilo. She stood up and said, “Notus, come and see what your daughter has done!”Notus had been chatting and laughing with Zach. When he heard the commotion, he was stunned for a moment before he hurried over.“What happened?”Luna’s tears immediately started to fall.But before she could speak, Notus looked at Ruth, who was beside Abel. He asked nervously, “Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”The corners of Ruth’s eyes twitched. How ridiculous. Since Notus brought Luna over to discuss business, should he not at least be concerned about his bargaining chips? Why was he concerned about Ruth?Luna was also shocked, but she quickly hid her resentment and called out in a pitiful tone, “Dad, she’s fine. I was careless and spilled all this wine.”Notus visibly heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Luna and paused. Then, he frowned deeply. “How did you end up like this? Quick, go change your clothes. Do you know what you look lik
