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
“Thanks for not keeping it from me.”Abel smiled and held her hand. “There’s no need to thank me. Have you forgotten what I told you?”Ruth still remembered. “The most important thing between husband and wife is honesty.”However, she did not expect him to do as he said.“Therefore, if you have any countermeasures, you have to discuss them with me. You’re not allowed to make any decisions on your own,” Abel said in a deep voice. Ruth did not hesitate. “Okay.”The car started and slowly drove out of the Rivas Family Training Grounds.After a long silence, Ruth finally came to her senses.The Abel she knew was used to strategizing and controlling everything.He would never tell her something that he was confused about. Why was he acting strange today?Moreover, when he came, he said that he arrived early today because he saw an acquaintance nearby.So, had he planned to keep it from her in the first place?Thinking about what he had solemnly instructed her to do next—that
Ruth had waited anxiously all night. The Lovehart family was not at peace either.Denver had committed a hit-and-run and refused to cooperate with the investigation. Thus, he was taken away. Then, the police could not contact the victim and could not confirm the victim’s injuries, so they could not even mediate…Sean personally went to the police station, but he still came back empty-handed. Hence, he rushed to the company and took out all his anger on Lily.“What did you say?”Lily slammed the table. She looked even angrier than Sean.Sean paused for a moment. Then, he said with a dark expression, “I told you to contact your cousin immediately and cancel the report! We can discuss suitable compensation, but she insists on making a big fuss. I’m warning you: you might have to bear the consequences—”BANG!Lily angrily picked up the cup on the desk and threw it at Sean. “I think you’re the one who will have to bear the consequences!”Sean quickly dodged, and the cup brushed past
