Chapter 770

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
There was a long silence.

It was so quiet that Ruth finally realized what was wrong.

Bang!

Frederick slammed the table angrily and stood up. “You’ve really drawn a clear line between our family and yours. It’s my fault for asking you to come back today!”

“No, Grandpa, I—”

“You don’t have to bring him to the Rivas family because of that! I don’t deserve to be called grandpa by you!”

With that, Frederick quickly left without giving Ruth a chance to respond.

Julius looked at Ruth with disappointment in his eyes.

Ruth panicked. “That’s not what I meant. I didn’t mean to cut ties with the Rivas family!”

Julius remembered the role he was supposed to play, and his anger subsided, which allowed him to respond more rationally. “Then, what do you mean? Are you saying that you didn’t plan on telling us about the Lockton family’s affairs or the wedding?”

Ruth pursed her lips and told the truth. “I planned to settle the Lockton family before coming back to apologize to you and Grandpa.”

    Charles had already put Abel in a difficult position when Ruth had gone overseas.She had to help Abel get the Rivas family’s approval!Anyway, this was an issue she had caused.Abel looked at her serious expression and smiled slightly. “That’s right. When you face Grandpa and Mr. Rivas again, just keep acting cute!”Ruth felt incredulous.Didn’t her sacrifice touch him at all?Why was he exposing her motives like this?“Let’s go. We’ll come visit the Rivas family again when we’re prepared. We’re not here to ask about the Lockton family anyway. We just want to give them an apology and invite them to our wedding.”“No way.”Ruth sat up straight. She looked resolute.Abel looked at her in slight confusion. “What?”Ruth met his gaze. “Since we’re already here, we can’t run away! We have to face our mistakes like true warriors!”Abel rolled his eyes.Today was the day of the freshman assessment of the Rivas Family Training Grounds.The Rivas family was very strict when it cam

    As soon as Julius said this, the entire venue fell silent.The final round of the assessment was to fight a senior. They could pick any senior they liked. As long as they could last five moves against their opponent, they would pass.This was the most difficult stage. Every year, only a third of the fresh candidates would pass.Therefore, they usually chose a senior who was close to them in age.Most of them had already decided on who to pick. However, a dark horse had suddenly appeared!Looking at the pretty young woman in front of them, many examinees’ eyes lit up.Some of the bolder ones could not help but pipe up.“Mr. Julius, are you kidding? Is the new instructor really the pretty young woman beside you and not Mr. Blakewell?”“You’re not joking, right? We’ve heard of the mysterious apprentice’s reputation. They’re talented and outstanding! I can hardly believe that this girl is the mysterious apprentice!”“Hahaha, that’s right! She looks so delicate! Wouldn’t Mr. Julius

    Abel let her go without a fuss and even nodded in agreement. “Right, my bad. You’re an instructor, and you definitely have to act serious.”Ruth was dumbfounded.Was he making fun of her?……Due to Ruth’s appearance, the event became even more lively.When the seniors who were not present heard this news, they hurriedly ran over to watch.They all greeted Ruth with an air of familiarity.Abel, who was sitting in the first row, raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little surprised. Ruth was popular here. Everyone was very friendly to her.Well, it could be due to her rank.In places like this, the strong would naturally be respected.By noon, a few candidates had arrived at the third round ahead of time.Many people had chosen to spar with Ruth.A commotion broke out below the stage.It was surprising to see that the seniors were the ones jeering and not the arrogant newcomers.The candidate on stage was confused, but his confusion only lasted a moment. He quickly regain

    Normally, it would not be possible to see the second floor from where the audience and the judges were seated. However, Abel was sitting at the edge and could just about peer into the second floor.Abel’s eyes flickered as he got up and walked toward the stairs at the end of the corridor.The assessment was still ongoing.Ruth was about to walk back when a voice from below the stage stopped her.“Ms. Ruth, please wait. I would like to spar with you!”It was hard to believe that Ruth had defeated the first candidate so fast. People were starting to speculate that the first candidate was a weakling.The young man who had spoken just now was different. He was one of the best among the candidates.Ruth sized up the young man in front of her and was about to walk back when someone in the judge’s seat coughed twice, attracting her attention.She turned around and saw Finnian winking at her.Ruth’s eyes flickered. She understood.This was someone that Finnian had his eye on. She had

    It was a powerful punch.Being punched in the face during a fight was one thing. However, as a man, being punched by a woman was extremely embarrassing.The young man’s face was red with embarrassment and anger. He punched her back fiercely.Ruth had predicted his move. However, she still appeared laid-back. She easily caught his fist and subjugated him with a backhanded grab.The referee announced that exactly five moves had been made, and Piers had passed this round.Ruth was not in a hurry to let go of him. Instead, she leaned in closer and told him in a low voice, “I’m letting you off on account of Finnian. However, brat, this is the definition of lucky. Do you understand?”Piers’s face was even redder than before as he fiercely tried to break free from Ruth’s grip.However, he realized that he could not break free despite using all his strength.He tried again with more force. Ruth let go at this moment. Thus, he staggered and almost fell off the stage.The referee kindly

    Julius’s eyes widened in dissatisfaction as he listened to Abel.Abel retracted his gaze and looked at the two men in front of him. “She’s very guarded. When we first met, other than the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Lockton family, I didn’t know anything else about her.”Frederick’s eyes flickered in understanding.He wanted to ask if Ruth was apparently level-headed at all other times.He pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. Then, he retorted, “We just met. Why are you telling us your life story?”Abel lowered his gaze. “Even though I was in love with her, it took me a long time to find out her secret identity as a famous jewelry designer. She also excels in other fields.”Julius was stunned. How had Ruth hidden this from them?Frederick frowned and listened to Abel’s accusatory tone before chiming in.“That means that you didn’t work hard enough to make her let her guard down in front of you! If she had trusted you enough, she would have told you

    “What’s the point of sucking up to her? Ruth has always been one of Mr. Julius’s favorites. Even if he’s mad at her, he will still let her do whatever she wants. Do you think she’ll starve if you don’t treat her to this meal?”A cold and harsh voice came from behind them.Everyone turned their heads in unison.It was a handsome, fashionable man in his thirties. He was wearing a regular training suit, but he exuded a unique aura.He did not look like a burly combat training instructor, but more like a celebrity.However, his haughty expression at this moment was quite unlikable.“Denver, we hardly get to see Ruth because of how busy she is. Why are you singling her out?” Finnian felt indignant.Denver sneered. “Do you think I care about her enough to single her out?”Everyone was incredulous.His cold treatment of Ruth had always been obvious! He had been like this ever since she became Julius’s apprentice!It was all because he felt that she had stolen his spot!It was so un

    Everyone looked over.A tall and handsome man leaned over the railing. He was looking at Ruth gently.He took off his jacket. The aura around him was relaxed. It was as if he belonged here.Julius and Frederick had been staying upstairs. It looked like this man had been with them.Had Ruth told them the truth?Was she really going to have lunch with the head of the family?The seniors looked at Ruth and heaved a sigh of relief. There was no need for another argument.In contrast, the newcomers looked at Ruth with admiration and excitement.Ruth was indeed Julius’s favorite. No one could replace her.Ruth glanced up at the stairs, stared at Denver, and left.After she walked far away, the crowd started chattering.“Who said that she was bluffing? Mr. Julius really likes her! In the past three months, have you seen Mr. Julius eat with anyone?”“We haven’t even seen him eat at all!”“Why? Denver is so talented! How could she beat him?!”“That’s right! How is she so lucky?”

    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!
