Chapter 734

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
After the dinner, Charles sighed softly and announced that he was leaving the next day. He would handle his affairs in Endore before coming back to Sommerset to openly participate in Ruth’s wedding.

This was no surprise to Abel because he had been expecting it.

Lily quickly raised her hand. “I’m not going back! I told Ruth that I’ll stay here with Grandpa until the wedding is over!”

Reina promptly refused. “No, you can’t. You’ve been playing around for so long. Don’t you still have school?”

Lily showed no hint of embarrassment as she responded, “Oh, it’s not like you don’t know what kind of kids go to my school. They’re just fooling around! I don’t want to hang out with them. I want to hang out with Grandpa!”

Reina wanted to say something, but George happily said, “Okay, if you don’t want to go to school, don’t go. Stay at home and keep me company.”

Reina frowned and said disapprovingly, “Dad!”

George said nonchalantly, “It’s not easy for her to come here. Don’t be so hard on Li

    Reina seemed to be explaining and comforting her at the same time, which stirred up Ruth’s suppressed emotions.She wanted to insist that it was nothing and that it didn’t matter, but the words changed when they reached her mouth.“Then, why do you have to go to the Acker family’s house tonight? Can’t you discuss it over the phone with them? We don’t have much time together to begin with, and now you have to leave early,” Ruth mumbled.She thought that she was just asking casually, but her words sounded pitiful.She paused for a few seconds and explained, “And you haven’t even spent time with Grandpa!” Her raised voice seemed to hide something.Reina arched an eyebrow. This time, she did not continue to coax Ruth. Instead, she looked at Charles.The doubt in Charles’s eyes disappeared and was replaced by joy and disbelief.Did Ruth mean that she could not bear to be apart from him?She had always been cold and distant, and she was not close to him. Naturally, she would not free

    Ruth was moved by his words.However, as she watched the car leave, she felt a little embarrassed by her teary-eyed farewell. She awkwardly made a comment to lighten the mood.“What’s with all this talk about our family never being separated again? It’s like we’re bidding farewell for good.”“That’s right! Father must be under a spell, right? He got so sentimental that I’m almost embarrassed to see him off!” Lily paused and added, “But Ruth, you must have fallen under a spell, too. You actually—”“Hush! Don’t say it!”The two girls were still reminiscing about the magical parting just now, but Abel and George remained silent.Saying goodbye as if it were a matter of life and death could indeed be a cruel experience. They were fortunate enough to not have to experience nor understand it.Lily was the first to hop into the car. Abel opened the car door for George to get in.At this moment, the Lovehart brothers arrived at the parking lot to see Boyce off. Notus turned around an

    “Yes, on New Year’s Eve, the Lovehart family had a car tailing us. At that time, Notus was just curious.” Abel said, his tone sounded ambiguous.Before Ruth could speak, Lily stuck her head forward. “Why is he curious about my mommy? Does he know her? What does he want?”George’s loving voice said sternly, “Sit properly and fasten your seatbelt.”Lily turned around with a smile and said coquettishly, “Oh, come on. Abel drives so carefully, nothing will happen.”“You still have to sit properly. Your father and the others haven’t left the country yet. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have them to take you away,” George threatened, pretending to be angry.Lily quickly sat back down and obediently fastened her seatbelt. “There, I’m sitting properly. You’re not allowed to chase me away!”George praised her for being well-behaved. With this interruption, he forgot the previous question.Ruth looked at her grandfather’s expression through the rearview mirror and chose not to ask further

    It was a new year.The Goldwell family wanted to take advantage of the Lockton family, but they only received a few humiliating envelopes of gift money.They wanted to adjust their mindset and try talking to Luna again.Unexpectedly, Luna arrived the next day.She was not there to stand up for them, but rather, to use threats and enticement in an attempt to reclaim her own house. She even thoughtfully booked a high-class hotel for them. The hotel was only for one night. The Parsons family naturally disagreed because it meant losing their long-term meal ticket.However, Nicholas was already full of anger and was not in the mood to deal with them. After a fruitless discussion, he had the property management to chase them out and canceled the hotel reservation.The Parsons family had just moved in not long ago, but found themselves kicked out after airing their complaints.They also ended up on the blacklist of Kingsland Manor residential area.In the end, Luna could not bear it

    Reina was not angry. She did not even care about his attitude.However, when she heard these words, she cooperated and gave a surprised expression. “Really? You don’t have time to meet me, but you have time to investigate me?”Frank’s expression changed subtly.“During this time, You’ve been asking about us. I thought you were just really interested in me, but it turns out that I was wrong.” Reina did not seem to see his expression.Frank also caught the main point. “Us?”Reina smiled. “Yes, I’m not the only one who met with the Acker family. Don’t you already know?”Frank did not say anything. He just looked at her with a dark expression and waited for her to continue.However, Reina stopped talking and leisurely took a sip of water.She waved for the waiter to take her order.It was lunchtime, but there were not many people in the restaurant. The seats between the booths were not far away. It was quite private, but because it was quiet, the voices could be clearly heard by t

    Frank did not probe further. He understood that it might just lead to more frustration. To him, the members of the Lockton family were lowly and arrogant.He had no intention of investing more time in them or interfering in their affairs. He wanted to see how they would remain arrogant on the day of the wedding.Having said what he wanted to, he had lost his appetite and abruptly got up to leave.When Frank passed by the table beside him, he happened to look over. He saw a man’s side profile. The man had distinct features and an impressive demeanor that would always draw attention.Because Frank was restless, he did not think too much about it. He retracted his gaze and left.After Frank left, Charles stood up and sat opposite Reina.Seeing that Reina did not object, the observant waiter sensibly went forward to change the cutlery.The atmosphere was heavy.Reina looked up at his cold and unhappy expression and was not surprised at all. “Frank Blakewell is even meaner than the

    It turned out that Charles’s fierce determination had not diminished at all. Instead, as time passed, it became even more powerful.Right now, he only wanted to do all he could to ensure Ruth’s happiness.“Still, there will always be some things that are destined to be out of our control. Perhaps our decision was wrong from the beginning,” Reina said meaningfully.Charles regained his senses. “What?”Reina took a deep breath. “Let’s go. It’s time to go to the airport.”Her father had asked her to keep the truth of her sister’s death a secret because he did not want anything to go wrong at this juncture. They had been working behind the scenes for several years. They could not let a moment of impulse ruin everything.Now was not the time to get their revenge.The end to the liveliness of the festivities left Ruth feeling rather depressed. She took a week off to mentally recover.Alas, a work call interrupted her week off.Ouyan had already signed the contract, but they had not

    After Ruth hung up, she quickly called Dulcie. “The meeting went well. The wedding won’t have anything to do with the Lovehart family. What did Ouyan say about the publicity plan?”Dulcie paused for a second before she exploded. “I can’t believe you took so long to reply to me! Do you know how worried we were about you? I’ve already told Grandpa that if things don’t work out and the duke doesn’t come back, I’ll ask my uncle to make the wedding arrangements! The Rivas family will always be your maiden home!”The corners of Ruth’s eyes twitched. While she was touched, she still felt a little incredulous. “There’s no need for that.”It was just a simple wedding, but they were making such a big deal out of it.Moreover, she was not very interested in the wedding…Why did everyone want to help her make the wedding arrangements…“That’s not right. Also, why did you reply to me so late? You’re not lying to me, are you? Whatever! I’ll come over to you right away!” Still a little worrie

    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!
