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
“Madam, the brand dealers have brought your clothes here,” Mrs. Greenwell whispered to her and effectively disrupted her thoughts. Ruth was puzzled. “Brand dealers?”Mrs. Greenwell nodded. Behind her, a large group of people in professional suits walked in, and the sight of all sorts of items from luxury brands dazzled Ruth. She remembered then. On the day they went to the supermarket, Abel had mentioned contacting the brand dealers to get her new things. He was being serious?!As she stared at the famous logos, Ruth felt her money readying itself fly out from her wallet. “I’m sorry for making you come here, but I don’t need anything new for the time being,” she rejected them awkwardly. The employee standing at the front was surprised. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Blakewell, but these items have been paid for,” she said kindly. “We also don’t support refunds for limited edition items unless there’s a special reason for it.”Ruth was surprised. The employee of another brand standing
When Mrs. Greenwell saw that Ruth was not a doormat, she sighed in relief and answered happily, “Alright. I’ll call DH’s headquarters later. Please bring the clothes out.”Her last sentence was directed at the harsh woman. Brand dealers were not idiots and would not destroy their own reputation for a bit of money, especially after receiving complaints from customers. The woman’s expression changed. She could not believe that Ruth would take such a tough stance. “Mrs. Blakewell, don’t they say that we should never burn our bridges? You won’t get anything from making me lose my job! I have the best resources you can imagine. If you want them, they’re yours! I’ll reserve whatever you want for you whenever you want, including the limited-edition dresses! No one else can get their hands on them! Think about it!”This was a trick she habitually used. Limited edition dresses could be used to both threaten and tempt her customers. This was a useful method she could use while she worked
