Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife Chapter 690
“…Understood.”Ruth hesitated. “Then, do you still resent the idea? Since Luna brought it up, she won’t give up easily. The Blakewell family knows our wedding date, they might just choose the same day! But if you really—”Abel said, “As long as you’re happy, I’ll support you. Avoiding danger is what a man should do.”Ruth was perplexed and thought. “You can change your stance so quickly?! How did I not know this before?”......Ruth was right. Luna would not let go of such a good opportunity to show off. Even if they refused, she would not change her plans.Luna’s wedding date was set for the same day as Ruth and Abel’s. She even spread the news that she pitied her sister for being fatherless and had specially set the wedding on the same day as hers, hoping that her biological father would walk her down the aisle. It was treated as though RUTH was marrying into the Lovehart family.Various online supporters, along with bystanders who did not know the full picture, praised Luna

But, so what?Just because Abel, as influential as he may be, listened to a few words from Charles, did that mean Charles had the right to boss Abel around?He was not even Ruth’s real father!“Ruth, you’re too protective! How can your aunt not know her limits?” George could not bear to disappoint her. As he reprimanded her, he picked up his phone.Ruth said matter-of-factly, “Aunt Reina may know what to do, but Duke Cavendish doesn’t! He’s very competitive. What if he gets carried away?”George reprimanded her again, “That’s impolite, and stop calling him that. He’s your father.”Ruth did not care. “He’s not my real father. Does he really think he’s choosing a son-in-law?”George was speechless.As he spoke, the call was connected.However, there was no sound from the other side.While they were talking, the call connected, but there was no response from the other side. George glanced at the phone screen. He held it to his ear and tentatively called out, “Reina?”The person

Charles was actually the one who answered George’s call and happened to hear Ruth’s words.He was seething with anger for a while and did not know how to respond. When he saw Reina approaching, he coldly handed her the phone.The atmosphere in the castle fell into a strange silence.Generally speaking, at such times, the servants and bodyguards would automatically retreat. This was especially true for those who were reporting on official business. They knew better than to cause trouble at this time. The duke tended to involve others without reason when he was angry.However, Abel was unaware of this.Of course, it was also possible that he did it intentionally.Abel casually comforted him, “Did Ruth say that? She’s not wrong, you indeed aren’t her father. But it was impolite of her for being so direct. I apologize on her behalf.”Reina was speechless. She thought. “Silly boy, if you want to play like this, I can’t guarantee that you’ll get home tomorrow night.”Charles glared a

Then, he went to the balcony and the view became brighter. Abel lowered his voice. “How would you know if I’m not reacting?”Ruth said casually, “Prove it!”Abel remained silent as he contemplated what she meant. He was sure that the reaction she wanted was the same one he had in mind. But this “proof”...During the pause, Ruth also realized that her words might have conveyed a different intention. She did not mean THAT!“I-I only asked you to prove that you missed me! Not to prove a reaction, no… I didn’t mean anything else...” She quickly clarified. This was more embarrassing! She should not have said anything.Abel stared at her for a while before he switched to the rear-facing camera to capture the view outside. “Do you see that?”Ruth was clueless. “What am I supposed to see?”Abel seemed to take a deep breath. “Is there anything else you’d like to see?”Ruth was flabbergasted. This was getting a bit out of hand!Abel continued, “It’s afternoon here, and the sun is still

During a break in the conversation, a private jet descended. It touched down on the runway and decelerated as it taxied toward them. Ruth and her group went out to welcome it.After the plane stopped, four bodyguards got off first and took positions on either side of the steps. Then, Abel walked down and stood at the side before he reached behind like a gentleman.A young and elegant woman came out. She was dressed in casual clothes, a hat, and a mask. She placed her hand in Abel’s and descended gracefully. Immediately following her was a young girl who sprang down the steps three at a time.“Thanks, Abel. I can get down myself!” The girl jumped down and threw herself at Ruth. “Ruth! I’ve missed you so much! Did you miss me?!”Ruth reached out to catch her and greeted her perfunctorily while her gaze drifted helplessly toward Abel who was walking at the back.After not seeing him for a week, Abel seemed even more handsome and charming.After Lily hugged her, she quickly stuck to

Ruth’s heart was moved, and her dissatisfaction gradually dissipated. She only asked worriedly, “Then, will you be alright for coming back?”Charles paused for a moment before he calmly replied, “It’s fine. No one knows.”Gabriel and Lyla knew that they had a lot to talk about when their families met, so they stood a few steps behind and gave them some time.They had come to welcome the Cavendish family to show their respect, but they never expected to learn of such a revelation.When Ruth called Charles “father,” Gabriel and Lyla were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and then at Apollo behind them.Had they misheard?Apollo’s mouth was slightly agape. His sunglasses hung weakly on the bridge of his nose as he stared wide-eyed at the scene.His expression said it all, they had not misheard.After Ruth finished her greetings, she realized that Gabriel and Lyla had been waiting for quite some time, and she could not delay introducing the parents any longer.“Dad, Mom, come

Apollo’s eyes flickered. “You know Demz?”Lily raised her chin proudly. “Of course! I know all of Ruth’s friends! It’s a pity that I haven’t seen Abel in the past, but I’ve finally seen him now! He’s as handsome as I imagined. It’s just that Father and Mother are so annoying. They claim to have important matters to deal with and won’t let me play with everyone. Fortunately, Ruth promised me a while ago that I could come see Grandpa. Otherwise, they might not have brought me along this time!”Apollo was speechless.Lily was talking so much that he did not even know where to start with her. She was quite the little chatterbox. So, he decided to dive straight into the topic that interested him the most.“Your mom and dad have different nationalities. Why don’t you look like a mixed-race all? You actually look like a pure Sommersettian!”“Mother said that it’s enough for a girl to inherit her mother’s beauty. I don’t need to be like Father!”This little chatterbox had quite a sharp t

However, there was no record of Rose’s delivery time and date, and he had not found specific information related to it, either. The fire would explain it.Everything seemed to make sense, but it also seemed unusual. The Cavendish family was at the head of the aristocracy. Why would he risk his life for one individual?It was quiet in the car.Apollo suddenly realized that mentioning her biological father might have touched upon a sore spot for Ruth. He wisely changed the topic. “What about you? Why are your reasons for calling him ‘father’?”Lily said self-righteously, “Oh, this and that.”“Such as?”“You’re really something, aren’t you? When someone says ‘this and that,’ it means they don’t want to answer!”“Well, you could’ve just said that.”Neither of them was flattering themselves in this conversation.Ruth shook her head in amusement and tilted it to look at Abel. Although he was driving calmly, he was actually concerned about her answer, so she explained kindly, “Actual

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!
