Chapter 710

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
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

    Warmth spread into Ruth as Abel held her hand. She turned around and smiled at him. “Don’t worry. Many things that happened in the past don’t bother me anymore! I only remembered what Grandpa said after that: I’ve grown up and the Lockton family is mine now!” If Bella said they were a family, what did it matter? The Goldwell family could just leave the Lockton family. However, before this, Ruth had been giving Callum a chance. She even had some hopes of him being a good father again. That was all shattered three years ago when he listened to Luna’s one-sided story and heartlessly sent Ruth overseas. “It’s very strange. Ever since I made up my mind to cut ties with them, the memories of my mother have become clearer.” “It means you can’t have too many people in your heart,” Abel concluded calmly. Ruth agreed. “Yes, it only needs to hold the ones I care about!” The night breeze was cold and rustled dead branches by the road. There was almost no one in the quiet cemetery.

    Abel squatted beside Ruth and held her hand again. “I will make you happy.” He turned to look at the person in the photo and promised solemnly in his deep voice, “Since you helped us get together, it shows that you approve of me, Mom. I won’t disappoint you for the rest of my life.” Ruth was amused. “I was just saying that as a passing comment. Did you take it seriously?” Abel turned around. “All encounters are predestined. As long as something is about you, I’ll take it seriously.” Ruth retracted her smile. Perhaps it was because of his sincerity that she suddenly felt that the wind was not so biting anymore. Every time she came to pay her respects to her mother, she would stay from morning to night. What left the deepest impression from these visits was the cold loneliness. Even the summer wind was not very friendly. It carried an iciness to it, reminding her that she would always be alone. But this time, it was not so bad.The two of them sat in front of the tomb and

    Ruth briefly explained that when she was a child, she had offended the Rivas family when she was defending Luna, which led to Julius taking an interest in her. It was a chance encounter. Because of her talent, Julius insisted on taking her in as his disciple. “You also said that you helped Luna for the sake of the Lockton family’s reputation. Later on, Luna started using that to cause trouble for you. The bar incident three years ago is a classic example. What about before that?”“Are you suggesting that Luna purposely arranged for me to offend a member of the Rivas family?” Ruth asked. Abel nodded. “We can deduce a potential scenario. If it’s confirmed that your mother’s cause of death was poisoning, then it indicates that the Goldwell family has been in contact with the Rivas family long before. Your later conflicts with the Rivas family might not have been coincidental.” Moreover, if it were not for Julius, Ruth might have died a long time ago. Before Callum was taken a

    Abel was speechless. He was only being honest, how did it become “flirting”? Ruth moved closer and closer, rubbing against him like a cat. Her current cute and adorable appearance was very different from her usual cold and arrogant self. It was a side that belonged to Abel alone. At the thought of this, his heart felt warm, and he could not help but pull her into his arms and ravage her. She should be the one flirting! Abel pulled his arms out and carefully pushed Ruth back. His voice was hoarse and low. “I’m driving. Let’s talk when we get home.” Ruth was confused. What more did they have to discuss? With this interruption, the atmosphere became relaxed. Abel did not ask further about Lily or the Lockton family. He had a rough idea about some things. Ruth, on the other hand, decided not to dwell on it. She firmly believed that the mastermind’s evil deeds would eventually be exposed, and it was only a matter of time before the mastermind was found… There was very li

    Eilam had reported the situation to him in detail. When he explained that it was the Lovehart family’s car, Reina reacted very strongly and was not as calm as usual. “Let’s just pretend that Ruth was related to the Lovehart family. Why were you so nervous, then?”Reina looked up and regained her composure. She was not surprised by his question. “When the time is right, I’ll let you know.” Abel looked at her for a few seconds and replied, “Okay.” George looked at Abel, then at the two cousins playing happily in the garden. He shook his head silently. He got up and walked upstairs. “I’m old and can’t stay up late. You guys have fun.” Abel stood up and wanted to send him upstairs, but the old man suddenly came back and took out three envelopes from nowhere. “This is a small New Year’s gift for the three of you.” Abel paused for a moment before reaching out to accept it. He felt strange. Ever since he could remember, he had never received a New Year’s gift before. His im

    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!
