Chapter 745

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Ruth’s lips were getting closer and closer. Abel gulped and slowly closed his eyes, preparing to kiss her scarlet lips.

Beep!

The sound of the combination lock of the door being opened was heard.

The next second, a crisp, familiar voice sounded at the doorway.

“Did I come back at the wrong time?”

Ruth was draped halfway across Abel, and they were in a very compromising position. When Ruth heard the voice, she looked up in shock.

The instigator at the door had a playful voice and a smile on her face. She looked like she was watching a trainwreck.

It was obvious what that look meant. As long as other people were embarrassed, she would be amused!

It was Lily!

If Ruth had known earlier, she would have let her stay with Grandpa in the manor!

Didn’t Lily say that she wanted to stay with her grandfather?

Her face and ears were burning, but Ruth had to pretend to be calm.

She naturally got off Abel’s body. “We were just playing a game. Don’t overthink things.”

“Oh, is this a game

    Lily pursed her lips, and her face fell.She pulled a chair over with her foot and sat down. Her tone was helpless and emotional. “Ruth, you’ve really changed a lot in the six months since you returned to the country!”Ruth’s attitude toward her father had changed. She was no longer as cold and distant as before. It was quite nice.Ruth’s attitude toward her had also changed. She was actually starting to control her. It was very subtle, but it was noticeable.But it was not that annoying.“I know. I’ve become prettier.” Ruth’s expression remained cold and unmoved.Lily was speechless.Was Ruth being serious?Whatever!Lily decided not to discuss this topic and directly brought up what she had learned over the past few days. “Didn’t you ask me to investigate a woman who you thought was Notus’s mysterious lover?”Ruth paused. “Have you been investigating Notus these days?”Lily nodded. “Being here makes it more convenient to conduct the investigations! Besides, I’m bored!”Ru

    Lily was extremely efficient Had she started investigating even before Reina had left?Ruth looked at her with more admiration. “Since when did you start to investigate this?”Lily was still looking at her phone and did not even look up. “That night, after my parents left, Notus was by the car. The topic of his conversation with Abel was strange.”Her grandfather was also there. The way he stopped her from asking questions was too obvious.He just did not want her to ask.If he did not want her to ask questions, that was fine. She would investigate on her own.“When did you do the DNA test with Aunt Reina?” Ruth asked again.“The next day. I went to send my mother off and stole a few strands of her hair.”Before Ruth could say anything, Lily had already pulled something out. “Look at this woman. Does she look like my mother?”It was an ID photo of a woman in her early twenties. It was quite old, and the image was rather blurry.However, from the faint outline, one could sti

    Lily firmly believed in her previous theory.Ruth said nothing. It was as if she had been convinced.She looked at Lily with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking about something else.She thought that perhaps she really was not the daughter Notus had found.After all, she had lived with her mother for a few years. During those few years, her mother had always done whatever she wanted. Her mother did not look like a woman whose lover had abandoned herShe did not even try to avoid the Lovehart family.There was also that token and the pair of earrings. They were also the things that Ruth was sure had something to do with Notus.His mother did not have any special feelings for those things. She had just treated them like they were regular belongings.“Ah, it doesn’t matter. We’re just one step away from the paternity test results. When the results are out, the truth will be revealed.” Lily waved her hand impatiently.Ruth snapped out of her thoughts. “Paternity test? Did you manage to

    Things would be fine as long as Lily did not have any other feelings for Notus. “I don’t care. I have to verify it! Besides, this matter is also related to you. You can’t let me give up halfway, right?” Lily’s attitude was very firm.To be honest, Ruth was also curious, but she did not want her to take such drastic measures. She thought for a moment. “Leave this to me. I’ll get the DNA sample for you.”Lily’s eyes lit up. “Really?”Ruth was helpless. “Why would I lie to you? Besides, you’re in my territory. Why would I let you potentially hurt yourself for such a minor matter?”Lily scratched her head awkwardly. “I’m not going to hurt myself. You’re overthinking…”“It’s not that I’m overthinking. It’s just that there’s something inherently wrong with this matter! If Father went on a business trip, would you arrange for special services for him and intercept him?”“How is that possible? Father wouldn’t do such a thing!”“Then would you help Father arrange it?”Lily thought a

    Ruth returned to the bedroom to take a shower and went straight from the walk-in closet to the study on the first floor.Abel was on the phone when he saw her from the corner of his eye. He gave the person he was calling a few more instructions and quickly hung up.“Finished talking to Lily?” he asked.Ruth stood up from the sofa and walked up to him. Leaning against the desk, she crossed her arms and looked down at him. “Do you know what she’s been doing recently?”Abel nodded and said lightly, “I can roughly guess.”Ruth narrowed her eyes. “Then how did you guess her motives? Aren’t you surprised at all?”Abel met her scrutinizing eyes and quickly understood what she meant. He said rather ambiguously, “Grandpa asked me to keep it a secret.”Ruth was confused.She looked at his puzzled expression.It took Ruth a while to react. Perhaps what Abel meant was that Lily’s investigation was a step in the right direction. He could guess what was going on and was not surprised becaus

    Abel hesitated for a moment before asking, “Are you sure you want to verify this?”Ruth was amused. “At this point, what reason is there not to do so? Besides, you must have helped Lily to find out about this, right? You didn’t plan to hide it from me, did you?”Lily could not find any information about Notus overseas, so there was no reason for her to suddenly find it in Sommerset.It was true that she had connections, but Janet’s medical records in the Lovehart family’s medical and beauty industries were very secretive. Not everyone could obtain them.“You already know that Callum isn’t your biological father. If Notus isn’t…”Abel’s words were careful, but he did not finish his sentence.He just stared at her quietly.People who grew up with such mysterious circumstances surrounding them would always want to find out the truth. Lily was an obvious example.What about Ruth?Would she also want to find her biological father?Her grandfather took care of Lily and did not rest

    Abel stared at her for a few seconds, a smile appearing in his dark eyes.However, he pretended to be confused. “What do you mean?”Ruth was speechless.“Mrs. Blakewell? Ruth? Miss Ruth?”Ruth frowned and looked up at him in dissatisfaction.Coincidentally, she locked eyes with him. There was a teasing smile in his eyes.She immediately reacted and slid down from his lap. “It’s fine. Goodnight!”“Sweetheart.”Ruth felt a tight grip on her wrist. The next second, she was pulled back into his warm embrace. “Be good. Stay with me to deal with work for a while.”Ruth pursed her lips and turned to look at the desk. “What? You need someone to stay with you? Most men let their wives sleep first and work overtime silently!”Abel wrapped an arm around her and placed his free hand on the keyboard. He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. “Come on, you know you love me.”Ruth was speechless.There was no way to reject this.Ruth leaned quietly in his arms, feeli

    “I know what you are worried about. The rumors on the Internet are just rumors. The Lovehart family has never said anything about it. But have you forgotten that I agreed to it when I visited the Blakewell family?”Notus’s gentle voice comforted her.Ruth’s frown deepened.Notus did not notice. He thought for a few seconds and continued, “I heard that your aunt met the Acker family. She’ll be back on the day of the wedding, right?”Ruth replied, “Of course.”Notus’s interest was piqued. “Are you very close to your aunt?”Ruth smiled and said, “Mr. Lovehart, you’re absolutely right. The only elders in the Lockton family are my aunt and Grandpa now. If I don’t get close to her, who else can I get close to?”“No, I mean, were you close to your aunt in the past?”Ruth did not say anything and just looked at him indifferently.Notus felt a little guilty when he saw that. He said in a stiff tone, “I was thinking that when your wedding is arranged by the Lovehart family, your aunt wi

    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!
