Chapter 717

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
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…

    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

    “Isn’t Ruth also your cousin? She will have her wedding sooner or later. When she marries into the Blakewell family, what will happen to Lockton Corporation? The Blakewell family doesn’t value the company. She should feel honored that we’re willing to help her.” A hint of greed flashed across Jasper’s eyes, and they shone as he stared at Bella.Bella continued, “Get ready tomorrow. We’ll go pay your grandfather and sister a New Year’s visit!” Jasper was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he thought of a better approach. “Mom, we’re not on good terms with Ruth, and mending the relationship will take time. If we need money now, wouldn’t it be more convenient to find Luna?” Bella sighed. “I thought about that too, but your sister told me that her position in the Lovehart family is unstable right now. We have to wait a little longer.” Jasper was impatient. “Why are we still waiting? Is she lying to us? Ever since they publicized the wedding, hasn’t the Lovehart family been listenin

    Jasper jumped up and ran away. “You old fart, are you crazy?! If you hit me again, I’m going to fight back!” Jasper had been pampered since he was young, and Callum had never hit him before. George never minded him, so Jasper fostered a spoiled attitude. He was undoubtedly unwilling to accept being whacked suddenly like this.Jasper grabbed George’s feather duster and was about to retaliate when Eilam appeared out of nowhere and quickly grabbed Jasper’s wrist. Then, he easily yanked it back and kicked Jasper’s knee with his shoe. Everything happened very quickly. Jasper was half-kneeling on the ground. One of his hands was pinned behind his back, and his head was pressed against the coffee table.“Argh!” After Jasper cried out in pain, Bella’s nervous voice followed. “Oh my god! Where did you come from? Let go of my son! I’m calling the police!” “You should report it! Coincidentally, I already told the police that the murderer’s son might attempt to break into the house and

    Thwack! The feather duster hit his mouth. Eilam’s expression was cold, as if he was not the one who had just hit him. He kindly said, “Watch your words in front of the elders.” Jasper wanted to say something, but the feather duster was pressed against the side of his face. Eilam’s actions were laden with threats and insults.Jasper gnashed his teeth so hard that they were about to break. Only then did he swallow his resentment. “Are you ready? You know how to bow, right? Bow and say, ‘Happy New Year,’” Ruth told Jasper casually. “This money is quite easy to earn.” Perhaps it was because there was no way out, or perhaps it was because the last sentence had a certain appeal, Jasper finally gritted his teeth and bowed in greeting. Then, he angrily took the two envelopes and stood up to leave. The pressure was on Bella. She watched helplessly as her son left without looking back.She forced an awkward smile. “Well, since my child is done giving his greetings, I won’t distur

    After a long time, Reina was getting impatient and was about to ask the bodyguards to chase her away when suddenly...Plop! Bella knelt miserably on the ground. Reina raised an eyebrow and stopped moving.Bella bowed to George. Her face was already flushed red. She said word by word, “Dad, my apologies. I wish you a happy New Year!” George looked at her coldly for a few seconds and handed her an envelope. “This is the last time I’ll tolerate this. You shall not address me as ‘Dad’ anymore.” Bella took the envelope with trembling hands and turned to look at Reina with a mocking gaze. “Do you still need me to bow to you? Will you even accept it?” Reina and Bella were considered peers of the same generation. But there was no tradition of bowing to one’s peers... as long as one was not afraid of offending the other.Reina was not afraid, and she smiled subtly. “Why can’t I accept it?” She sat up straight and assumed a proper posture. “Bow three times. I’ll accept your apolog

    Reina had a rough idea in her mind. Her voice became harsher. “Speak! Don’t make me go to Callum personally to verify it!” Ruth was about to talk when the doorbell rang. The door opened and an imposing figure walked in quickly. “What does the Lovehart family want by walking you down the aisle? Do they think that I’m dead?” Charles and the Acker family uncles did get along well, but as they chatted, they inevitably brought up some sensitive topics. Such as whether he was here to attend Ruth’s wedding or not. If he was here, why let the Lovehart family walk Ruth down the aisle? Would he have any regrets in the future? Would Ruth be treated badly? At that moment, Charles felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him! Putting aside whether or not Ruth would feel wronged or not, he felt pretty wronged at this moment.What?Ruth’s eye twitched. Before she could settle this problem with Reina, another one arose. Fine! Since they were both here, she could explain it to them

    Ruth felt that confirming the guest list was still a long way off. In reality, it was just that she had not been involved in it. All the invitations were prepared by Lyla. She had already spoken to George about the Lockton family, and George replied that he could not confirm the guest list from Reina’s side for the moment.And this uncertain factor, naturally, was the people Charles wanted to invite.“I’ve already communicated with my in-laws about the guest list last night. You don’t have to worry about it. What could Father and Reina have to discuss? They’re being so mysterious!” Charles’s deep brown eyes flickered with confusion.Ruth was still hesitating if she should tell him about Callum when Abel suddenly said, “It’s probably about the Lovehart family.”Charles nodded, and his interest diminished.After a few seconds of silence, he seemed to recall that when Abel mentioned the Lovehart family, he said that they should be familiar with Notus. He also said that Notus wanted

    Ruth beamed with a dazzling smile.After knowing her for so long, this was the first time Charles had seen her smile so happily. He was left in a daze for quite some time.Ruth was a little embarrassed by his gaze. She quietly covered her mouth and teasingly said, “What’s wrong? Was my laughter too exaggerated? Is it unworthy of the demeanor of a royal princess?”“You will always be the little princess of my heart!”Ruth was not used to her cold and strict surrogate father suddenly being so straightforward.Not only was she not used to it, but Lily, who had just woken up and was standing at the top of the stairs, was also stunned. “Hey, if Ruth is your little princess, what about me?”The sudden voice brought Charles back to his senses.He coughed awkwardly and forced himself to remain calm. “You both are.”“No, there’s only one little princess. If there are two of them, then it’s not special! Tell me! Tell me who your favorite is!”Lily ran down in her pajamas and looked at h

    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!
