In a show of great sensibility, Kallan asked, “Should I give orders to switch the actress?”Abel put down the name list. “No.”Kallan was surprised. “Tell Joseph to cancel all our current partnerships with Luna and that we won’t be working with her in the future.”Kallan could not quite understand what he meant. “Why aren’t we switching her out for the show if we’re going to cancel all of our other partnerships with her?”Abel’s gaze returned to his screen, and he said calmly, “She has a plan, so I’ll let her take care of it on her own.”The Ruth he knew would not surrender so easily. Since Vincent Dufor had yet to give the final okay, it meant that she had something prepared. Hence, he would give her free reign to do whatever she wanted while feeling completely at ease. On Monday morning, Ruth received a piece of good news when she got to her office. She had been liaising with a company that designed clothes, did makeup, and designed props for movies and shows. They had
Ruth smiled but did not deny the claim. “We talked about the Gate to the Heart before. Solomon Stone said he loved the novel, and I only spoke to him a little about how I intended to adapt it.”She was being subtle, but they worked in the industry, and Taylor almost immediately understood the full story behind it. The Gate to the Heart was rumored to be something Grand Empire would be producing by itself. But, in the end, they decided to let an unknown company join the production team. It had to be because of Ruth’s connections. Lockton Entertainment was an unknown entertainment company, but in Ruth’s hands, it was growing in fame in an unstoppable fashion. Taylor knew that she was pretty good, but, after speaking in depth to her, he learned that she had also hired Vincent Dufor for the Gate to the Heart. Vincent Dufor was also going to direct Lockton Entertainment’s web drama. It had to be said that Harper Williams was the person who had worked most frequently with Vincen
Ruth was loud, and the underlying meaning of her words was clear. Taylor had been feigning ignorance and acted as if he had only just noticed what was going on. He turned around to take a look with a surprised expression on his face. “What’s going on?”“We’re sincere in working together with your company. Since we’ve already signed the contract, stop cracking the whip at me and testing me. If you don’t want to work with us, cancel the contract right now. Don’t waste my time.”Both Joachim and Taylor were speechless. Apollo watched Ruth rage with a dark expression on her face and thought. “Bravo!”Once Ruth said that, she stood up to leave. “I’ll send someone to flesh out the details with you later. Please excuse me.”After Ruth left, Apollo did not linger around either. With a fake smile, he criticized Taylor, “Mr. Peele, I believe you weren’t the person who told that guy to do this. But, if you want to have a pleasant time working with us, you should know how to make the best
The elevator door shut closed. With those words, Apollo could clearly sense a pair of eyes he could not possibly ignore land on him. And he was sending a message to Abel!His heart raced. The question he had been awaiting for a long time was finally here. He straightened while leaning against the wall. With his height advantage, no one could see his phone’s screen, so he continued tapping away at the screen. “Yup. Did you notice already?” he answered casually. “No one else knows, though. Please don’t tell anyone about it, Sis.”Ruth nodded and hummed in answer. Then, she asked, “What’s your relationship with Blakewell Corporation?”Between the two brothers, one had a good relationship with the person-in-charge of the Blakewell family and had him generously sell them his mansion, while the other was a member of the Grand Empire’s upper management. He also had a close relationship with the richest man’s assistant. It was impossible for her not to think about Blakewell Corporat
Apollo was indeed in the wrong when it came to this. However, at the end of the day, wasn’t Abel in the wrong for deceiving Ruth first with a “romance scam”?That was what Apollo thought, but he did not dare to say it out loud. [Sorry. I’ll reflect on my mistake.]The car drove out of the parking lot slowly, and Apollo changed the topic by talking about what had happened in the room. He told Ruth that the person who caused trouble for her was one of Luna’s exes. Ruth was checking the stock market at that moment. When she heard this, she looked up. “Luna’s ex?”“Yup. Didn’t I put together a collection of Luna’s exes to take revenge for you? That’s why I remembered him.”He was talking about the engagement party. It was only then that Ruth learned that Apollo was the one behind it. Apollo might belong to Lockton Entertainment, but he did not have to do so much for her. Clearly, Abel had asked him to do it. When she thought of this, she smiled faintly. The anger she felt b
“This isn’t the first time you’ve heard that I don’t click with Luna and the Goldwell family. What gave you the impression that I decided to have a fall out with Luna because of you?” Ruth narrowed her eyes while speaking coldly. “I just took out my grudge against her this time.”Callum had dared to use her grandfather to threaten her. That was her berserk button. When Caelus heard her admit it, his gaze became pained. “So, you’re the reason why Grand Empire ended their partnership with her? When Luna thought you had a hand in it, I defended you! Looks like I misjudged you.”Ruth was puzzled for only a moment before she understood what he meant. In a nonchalant fashion, she leaned back against the chair. “It’s not too late for you to learn about me now.”Caelus slammed his palm on the table. “Ruth, snap out of it! The Blakewell family isn’t what it seems! How could someone like him like someone like you?!”Ruth narrowed her eyes and scrutinized him with a cold, fierce stare. He
“You had a social gathering here?” both of them asked at the same time. When Ruth saw how frightful Abel’s expression was, she went forward and grabbed his hand. “I didn’t want to come here, but a certain dog just had to block my way. It was really troublesome. I’ll tell you what happened when we go back!”No matter what, Abel had a hand in her getting to work with Taylor’s company. He also took revenge for her. Because of this, Ruth was patient and tried to make him calm down. This was something Caelus had never seen before. He was surprised but also jealous. “I thought you always regarded yourself above everyone else. To think there would come a day when you would submit to a man. You got together with someone more powerful than you and entertain him now just to take revenge on me? Are you happy like this?”Ruth had loved him and was loyal to him for three years. There was no way he could let her go so easily. Besides, they had been together for three years. He knew just ho
“I had a social gathering nearby, and I heard that my wife was catching up on old times with her ex, so I came over to take a look.” His voice was lazy, and Ruth could not tell what he was feeling. She grimaced. “I already told you. I had no other choice. I couldn’t let anything happen to Apollo.”Once she said this, she suddenly realized something was off. Abel heard that she was “catching up on old times with her ex”. Who else could he have heard it from except from Apollo?That b*stard. She sacrificed herself for him, and he betrayed her?“It’s not as if he’s dumb. He knows how to handle this sort of situation. Besides, if he trends on twitter, it’ll be good for your company. It’ll also be good for his new show,” Abel analyzed the situation coolly. Ruth agreed with a huff, “Makes sense! I’m not going to care about him again!”Abel was rendered speechless. Why had he never noticed that she was so obedient?Both of them fell silent in the car. The streetlights shone t
