Chapter 725

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
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

    Abel’s gaze turned to his closet, and he casually picked out a coat and handed it to her. “He probably feels that it’s not convenient to air his dirty laundry in public.”Ruth nodded thoughtfully. “That makes sense. Although I call him Father, it’s not like we’re biologically related!”Abel’s hand paused. He looked at Ruth and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Don’t say that in front of him. It’ll hurt his feelings.”No matter what, Charles’s affection for Ruth was genuine. Abel had seen his situation first-hand, so he could empathize.Ruth took the coat from him. “Oh, right. We have to watch our words now. Our relationship is quite good at the moment!”Abel raised an eyebrow. “Was it very bad before?”Ruth pressed her lips together. “Well, it wasn’t that bad.”She casually brought up past events and her impressions of Charles from before. Anyway, they were not close, and they would always have disagreements over a few words.Abel did not seem surprised and repeated w

    Luna’s voice cracked. “W-What? What do you mean?”Notus said sternly, “I don’t mean anything else. The Lockton family raised you. It’s only right for you to pay a visit to Mr. Lockton. I’ll pick you up tomorrow and send you there.”Luna was speechless.......Ever since Reina followed George into the study, she had been in a daze for two days straight. When Ruth was talking to her, Reina was absent-minded and slow to react to anything she said.Seeing her reaction, Charles frowned subtly.......The sun was shining brightly on the second day of the New Year.While Abel played chess with George in the garden, Lily pulled Ruth to the balcony on the second floor to look at the wedding photos. They sighed as they browsed through them. Reina sat on the sofa with a magazine in her hand. However, she had not flipped through the pages for more than ten minutes. Charles was going out to watch the chess match, but when he passed by the living room, he suddenly stopped and stood the

    Seeing Charles’s obvious worry, Reina sighed softly and said, “There are just some things that I must face. Actually, I’m already prepared for it.”She had made the decision to come back and publicly attend Ruth’s wedding. It was just a matter of encountering someone she disliked. Reina had not done anything wrong, so there was nothing to fear. The only reason she was hiding was to avoid affecting the overall situation back in Endore.“No, I’M not prepared!” Charles suddenly growled. He stood up and walked out.Reina was puzzled.What did he need to prepare for?Charles did not like the Lovehart family. He had imagined countless times that when he saw that hypocritical sc*mbag Notus, he would teach him a lesson.However, he had never thought that he would see him under such circumstances. He could not even declare his identity, let alone reprimand Notus. It was too frustrating, and he could not accept it.In the garden, the sun was bright and beautiful.Charles stood beside t

    It was good that Ruth had run away. Luna did not want any unexpected incidents today. When Notus suddenly wanted to go visit the Lockton family with her, for some reason, Luna felt that Ruth might be the reason for this.Luna was different from before. She did not want to be used as Ruth’s scapegoat anymore.“What’s wrong?” Nicholas turned to ask her.Luna shook her head and withdrew her gaze. “It’s fine. Let’s go. Grandpa is waiting for us.”Nicholas nodded and drove toward Kingsland Manor.He surveyed his surroundings and casually asked, “I heard that your house was funded by Callum.”Luna paused for a moment, trying to figure out what he meant. She answered carefully, “Yes, it’s a gift for me, so it’s registered in my name. And now that I’m part of the Lovehart family now, the house was not counted among Callum’s frozen assets.”“Since it’s yours, you have the right to manage it independently,” Nicholas said.Luna was beginning to understand his point. “We’re husband and wif

    Meanwhile, Notus’s black car slowly drove out of Kingsland Manor residential area.Notus leaned back in the backseat and looked fatigued. He had been so excited to come here. Alas, he was bitterly disappointed.It was as if he had fallen from the clouds to the cold, dark ground.However, after calming down, he thought that this seemed more reasonable. If he really saw her, it would feel unreal.He had been looking for her for so many years, and there had been no news of her. She was the one who had been avoiding him.Perhaps she would not forgive him so easily, just as he would not give up looking for her.“It doesn’t matter.” After so many years, he was not in a hurry.As long as Notus knew that she was back, as long as he knew that they lived in the same city together, he would be satisfied…“Pull over,” Notus ordered the driver coldly.They were still in the Kingsland Manor residential area. Even if they had driven through the main gate, there was still a stretch of private

    Charles was stunned and asked curiously, “How are we supposed to interact?”Ruth said very seriously, “Like friends!”Charles remained puzzled.“You keep emphasizing that I should respect you because you’re my elder. Isn’t it tiring? Moreover, it’s supposed to be a private visit, so why don’t you let go of that stance? If you keep nitpicking everything, it’ll suppress my true nature!”Charles found the first two sentences absolutely ridiculous.Regardless of whether he emphasized it or not, he was still an elder. Moreover, just because they had the room to themselves, that did not excuse Ruth from disregarding etiquette, right?However, when he heard the last sentence, his dissatisfaction turned into surprise. “Your true nature?”Ruth blinked and held her face in her hands in a cute manner. “That’s right! I’m lively, cute, playful, and innocent!”Charles was at a loss for words. His silence made Ruth feel awkward, as she became creeped out by his strange gaze.Perhaps because

    Perhaps because this question was too sensitive, Charles did not even notice the direction of Abel’s gaze, as he was lost in his own thoughts.“My career doesn’t just represent personal honor…”“Are you saying you’ll give up on someone you love?”“Of course not!” Charles frowned in denial. “Some people are destined to carry many burdens besides love. Such as the responsibility of the rise and fall of their families. I hope to protect the people who matter to me and everyone I care about within the limits of my capabilities.”Abel stared at him. He was not surprised by this answer, but something in his heart became more certain.Ruth nodded seriously. It was rare for her to interrupt his conversation. “Yes, I think what you said makes sense. I support you.”Even with his powerful status, there were many things that Charles could not control. Compared to the kind of people who used women as pawns, he was already very kind.Perhaps it was because he could not be with the one he lov

    Reality proved that Reina’s judgment was never wrong.Oh, it was only when she was rational that it would never be wrong. Who cared about the past?At the dining table downstairs, Notus stepped forward to interrupt the cheery atmosphere.“Boyce, what a coincidence to bump into you here.”The two people at the dining table turned their heads in unison. The moment Sean Lovehart saw Notus, he frowned. However, he tried his best to sound calm. “Notus.”When Boyce saw who it was, he was somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, “Mr. Notus, what a coincidence. We were just talking about you.”Notus was interested. “Oh? Me?”Sean’s voice was cold and indifferent. “He said that you seem quite interested in that piece of land.”Notus stayed silent, but his heart skipped a beat. He was glad he came.They were indeed talking about this project. It was the reason why Sean was here.“We were just chatting. My trip to the Imperial City was impromptu. I wanted to explore the unique features

    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!
