Chapter 705

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
“What were you talking about?” Abel said from behind.

Tom laughed dryly. “Nothing! Grandpa said today is about you and Ruth, so I won’t be stealing the limelight from you.”

As he spoke, he walked with Ruth into the house. He talked about how he and Abel were born on the same day, but it was at different times. Still, the gap was not far apart.

“So, who was born first?” Ruth asked cooperatively.

Tom smiled. “That’s not important. What’s important is that don’t you think it’s a coincidence? We’re both the eldest in our respective families, and my father also happens to be...”

“Oh, then I understand. You’re the younger one!”

Tom spluttered. Their pleasant conversation had come to an end.

He was silent for a few seconds before he leaned closer to whisper, “Pearl is here today, too. She’s a little reserved. Please spend some time with her. Don’t let her feel neglected.”

Coincidentally, he had just invited Pearl to come here when he learned that his family would be hosting Ruth’s fam

    As soon as she said that, the living room fell silent, and everyone looked at her.Ruth and Abel had been sitting at the table and quietly listening to the elders talking. But Ruth’s sudden interjection caught everyone off guard.The sudden silence made Ruth feel awkward. She thought that her tone might have been too harsh and that she had offended the elders.“I-It’s just a suggestion. My aunt will make the final decision.” With that, Ruth quickly looked to Reina for help.Before Reina could speak, a deep voice said, “Listen to me, let’s do it.”Ruth frowned and responded, “Can you be more rational? If you’re really that capable, why can’t this trip be an official one?”Charles looked at her. “Are you blaming me?”Ruth was speechless. “What for?”The atmosphere descended into another strange silence. There was a peculiar tension between Ruth and Charles.The people who were watching them were either perplexed or uncomfortable.Reina was used to such a scene and casually spok

    After a few sentences, the topic returned to the wedding and the atmosphere became relaxed again.Reina’s direct and honest words closed the distance between their families.Charles was slow to react. When he heard what Carlos said, he was stunned as well.He inherently believed that many things had to be dealt with independently, and he had a strong aversion to nepotism. He had previously researched the dynamics of marriages in Sommerset and could not accept the idea of Ruth taking on a role where she had to integrate with and be subservient to another family.Charles had been skeptical about the Acker family, but when he heard that Carlos was willing to use his connections to help the Cavendish family, he had a new perspective on the situation and started to feel like they were becoming one family. It was a subtle shift. After all, in his current situation, ordinary people ordinarily would not side with him so easily. After all, losing in this situation meant more than just los

    The Acker family was relaxed and happy this New Year’s Eve, but it was different for the Blakewell family’s mansion.It seemed harmonious on the surface, but in fact, everyone had their own thoughts.“Grandpa, since Ruth hasn’t given a response, can we assume that she agrees to have her wedding on the same day as us? Do we need to help prepare anything?” Luna asked gently.At the mention of this, Frank recalled. “Did the Lovehart family agree to let Ruth join your family?”Although he did not want to meddle with Abel’s wedding, he was still a Blakewell. It was too embarrassing for him to choose to marry a woman with no background. If Ruth married into the Blakewell family as a Lovehart, it would be the best of both worlds.Moreover, on that day, their primary focus would be on Nicholas, so the VIP guests would definitely be on his side. Ruth and Abel would be the secondary couple.This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to make a public appearance for Nicholas.That b*stard Abel

    Luna looked terrified as she looked at everyone at the table. “Did I say something wrong?”Medina beamed. She was starting to like Luna. She piled some food onto Luna’s plate for the first time and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s someone else who did wrong. You’re simply stating a fact.”Dillon sneered and said coldly, “Luna, you should be careful with your words. You can’t say this in front of them! Abel is blinded by women now. If you dare to say that they’re in the wrong, you’d best watch your back.”Ever since Dillon’s hand was crippled, he had been recuperating at home. At the same time, he hired famous doctors to restore his left hand to its original state.However, the many doctors he consulted all said that the nerve tissue was completely necrotic. There was nothing they could do.Some time ago, he happened to learn from an expert that the necrosis was due to poisoning. The whole family was shocked and furious. They condemned Abel for being so ruthless.However, Dillon was

    Soon, Frank received news that Ruth’s aunt, Reina, had returned. Both families were at the Acker family’s mansion, and there were several rows of bodyguards stationed at the entrance. They forbade anyone from disturbing the family gathering and insisted that any matters should be discussed the next day.Coral came back late and overheard the details as soon as she entered. She could not help but sneer and comment, “Are they so poor that they’re afraid of being seen? They’ve even stationed bodyguards at the entrance. It would be hilarious if word got out!”Frank frowned. He was somewhat perplexed.He glanced instinctively at Luna, who happened to look bewildered. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, “Luna, do you know her aunt?”Luna recovered her composure and quickly hid the panic in her eyes. She said awkwardly, “As someone younger, I shouldn’t pass judgment.”Frank said, “It’s fine. Just tell me about her.”Luna pursed her lips and said, “Her aunt has said that she wants to remain

    “Your return is absolutely confidential, except for those who have seen you in the past two days. Also, I’ve made special arrangements to prevent anyone from finding out about you and the Cavendish family.” Abel’s gentle voice reassured her, but after explaining, he asked, “Or do you think there are others who will investigate you?” Reina let his words sink in before shaking her head. She leaned against the back seat. “It’s best if there’s no one else.” Abel was silent and exchanged looks with Ruth. They could see the doubt in each other’s eyes. They had a feeling that Reina was not telling them something. At the Lovehart family’s mansion, Notus received a report that Luna was investigating Reina Lockton. Ever since he acknowledged Luna, he had arranged for someone to accompany her at all times. Although he said that it was for her protection, it was actually a form of supervision. “Why is she looking into Reina’s background?” Notus was puzzled. The bodyguard answered, “I

    South Mountain Cemetery was in the suburbs, which were dozens of kilometers away from George’s mansion. Rose’s last request was to keep her away from the bustling area of the Imperial City, saying that she wanted to sleep in an undisturbed place. Abel felt that Reina could really take care of herself, so he did not insist and drove away. He and Ruth had just left for a few minutes when Eilam arrived. Reina stood where she was and was not in a hurry to get into the car. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at the car that had clearly slowed down a distance away. Eilam opened the car door for her. She bent down and got into his car. Raising her chin slightly, she instructed, “Call Mr. Blakewell. There’s something wrong with that car.” She had been paying attention to the car for a long time. It had been following them ever since they left the Acker family’s mansion. The few minutes it had stood there, waiting, had confirmed her guess. Because the person inside saw her get out

    “Does this car have the Blakewell family’s license plate?” Reina rubbed her temples and closed her eyes to force herself to calm down.She could not let Notus find out about the Blakewell family. It was no secret that the Lockton family was having dinner with the Acker family tonight. He must have seen her when he caught up with their car. Whether he could confirm that it was her or not, he would still be suspicious. However, if they managed to track it back to the Blakewell family at this time, they would quickly find out about her… Although Eilam did not know what Reina was worried about, he knew that she did not want to be found out. He quickly explained, “No, other than Mr. Blakewell’s car, the car we used to pick you and Charles up do not hold any personal information. You can rest assured.” Reina heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She leaned against the back seat dejectedly, devoid of her usual elegance. Seeing her like this, Eilam’s eyes flashed with doubt

    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!
