Hamish’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away.“There’s a doctor here. He won’t die,” Ruth looked at Hamish steadily and said coldly. She continued, “But everyone here is a suspect now. I advise you not to get too close to each other. You never know when misfortune might hit you.”When the other new students who went up to check on Hamish heard this, they quietly moved away.The young man next to Hamish did not dare retort after being rebuked by Ruth. He subconsciously took his anger out on her. “Don’t sow discord between us!”Ruth wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips.It was Hamish’s turn to be searched, but they did not find anything.However, when they searched the young man, the sharp sound of the metal detector rang out.The investigator immediately turned his head to look at Adrian. Adrian personally went forward, and the onlookers also nervously stuck their heads over.The young man lowered his head in a panic.He saw a black, uniquely designed r
Hamish and his friend stopped arguing and looked over.Denver lowered his head, hiding his expression.He was silent for a long time. He seemed to have accepted things. “I admit that I was the one who attacked first. However, I was forced to do so.”Julius frowned and looked at him. “Who forced you?”“Ruth is your favorite apprentice. We can’t compare to her, and we don’t dare to do so. She can do whatever she likes here. With you and Mr. Frederick backing her up, we simply accepted this.”He paused for a moment. “But I was the one who picked this batch of new students! Every student was carefully nurtured by me and my fellow apprentices. Ruth just suddenly came back and snatched away the fruits of our labor. Mr. Julius, not only did you not stop her, you even indulged her. What can you say about that?”At this point, he suddenly raised his head and looked questioningly at Julius and Ruth.Everyone knew that Julius doted on Ruth.They had accepted this.However, no one could a
Abel sneered and continued, “You’re selfish, and you’re shirking your responsibility. You framed your fellow students to save yourself, but you brushed it off with a perfunctory sentence. You weren’t forced to retaliate. You were doing this with vicious intentions. If we hadn’t uncovered the truth, did you think about what would have happened to Ruth? If you put yourself in her shoes, do you think you’ll be acting like this?“As he spoke, Abel’s cold gaze swept across the few people who had spoken up for Denver earlier.They looked embarrassed and lowered their heads guiltily.Abel turned to look at Julius. ”You might have been biased toward Ruth in the past, but you always tried to side with Denver in today’s matter. Now that the truth is out, why are you still hesitating?“He stared coldly at Julius.His words were slightly threatening.His message was clear. If Julius did not deal with this appropriately, Abel would not let the matter rest.Julius was stunned for a few second
It was late at night when things had finally settled down.Seeing that Julius had left, Abel did not stay any longer and followed him with Ruth.At the entrance of the Rivas family’s residence, Julius turned to Ruth and said, “It’s a good thing that you want to remain in the institute. I won’t try to stop you anymore. Just visit us more often, please. I’m sorry this happened today.”Ruth smiled and said, “I’m alright. Don’t worry! I don’t regret returning. It was good to see my fellow seniors and get to know them better!”Julius smiled and nodded. He walked into the courtyard.On the way back, Ruth thought about everything. Despite a few mishaps, things had gone smoothly.Other than Denver, who was trying to sabotage her, Julius and Frederick did not even put in much effort to get her to leave.“Do you think I’m overthinking? Do you think Julius and Grandpa are just worried that I’ll be overworked?” Ruth began to doubt herself.Abel replied, “Perhaps.”Ruth continued, “But the
The car had sped past so fast that her coat had nearly flown off. Ruth did not want to imagine what would have happened had she not jumped back.“During emergencies, the head of the family and a few seniors are allowed to drive along the inner roads. The car just now seems to belong to Mr. Denver,” the person beside her replied. He was one of Julius’s assistants.Ruth was surprised. “Denver? Wasn’t he put into solitary confinement?”The assistant explained, “It’s just called solitary confinement. We can’t actually lock people up. In actuality, the wrongdoer is barred from entering the training grounds for the duration of the punishment. They can leave if they like.”Although the Rivas family was powerful, it was not powerful enough to restrict the students’ freedom.They had to follow the law.Furthermore, the students who came here were not nobodies. It was unrealistic to think that the Rivas family could imprison them.“I heard that something happened to the Lovehart family la
Denver drove away.When he made a turn, he saw Ruth’s figure disappear. His lips curled into a cold smile.There was more to come!He would never let this b*tch off!When he returned to the Lovehart family, he had received news from his family that a newcomer had entered the company.The newcomer was quite arrogant.In just half a month, she had easily gotten rid of many of the people Denver had planted. Lucas found out that the girl said that she was the real young lady of the Lovehart family and that Notus had allowed her to join the company.The real young lady of the Lovehart family?What a joke!He knew that Luna was a loser, and he also knew that his real opponent was Ruth.However, who was this woman? How dare she claim that she was the real young lady of the Lovehart family?Did she think that the Lovehart family was a weak family that anyone could mess with?He wanted to go back and see who was using Ruth’s name to cause trouble in his territory!Her phone rang at
Upon being asked, Ruth remembered. “Oh, Uncle Hoz let something slip. He said that Grandpa had a talented apprentice who had the ability to compete for Julius’s position. However, they were a pacifist and didn’t fight for it…”At this point, she frowned.Wait, didn’t that last apprentice want to compete for the position anyway? Why was Uncle Hoz saying otherwise?This apprentice did not seem like a pacifist.When she started to probe, Uncle Hoz seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and immediately shut up.“Actually, this last apprentice should be my mother-in-law,” Abel said calmly.Ruth’s pupils trembled as she turned to look at him in a daze. “My mother?”The car drove into the courtyard.Ruth got out of the car and was about to ask more when she saw a familiar face in the courtyard.Hamish?“Ms. Ruth, you’re back?” He stood up and greeted her respectfully. He was a completely different person from his previous disrespectful and unruly self.Ruth sized him up
Hamish noticed that Ruth was smiling.Her smile was filled with contempt and disdain.A bad feeling rose in Hamish’s heart. “What are you laughing at? Do you still think I’m lying to you?”Ruth’s voice was relaxed and calm. “I’m laughing at your stupidity. These tricks of yours will work on someone naive like Coral, but they’re nothing to me.”“How dare you!”“Denver’s mentor isn’t Grandpa’s last disciple. You know nothing about this. Who are you trying to deceive?”Ruth dismissed Hamish and walked straight into the house.Hamish looked at the tightly shut door. His face was dark and angry, and his expression was getting more and more twisted.How dare she!Since this b*tch forced his hand, he was not going to let her off!Ruth did not take this incident to heart at all. When she entered the house, she saw Abel packing his suitcase. As she helped, she asked him how he knew about her mother’s relationship with the Rivas family.Abel placed his luggage in the car and opened th
