For once, Lily remained silent, her gaze fixed on her phone.After the car drove out, she lost her patience and made a call.After a long while, a gentle voice picked up the phone. “Darling, what’s wrong? Do you miss me?”“Yes, I just suddenly remembered that I haven’t called you in a long time, Mom! How have you and Dad been recently? Did you miss me?” Lily’s voice was sweet and gentle like it usually was.Reina smiled. “I miss you, but who knows about your father?”Lily pretended to pout in dissatisfaction. “Dad is biased. He must miss Ruth!”Reina asked casually, “Aren’t you with Ruth?”“No, she’s with Abel. Why would I be a third wheel there? Anyway, I made a new friend. We’re going on a date tonight.” Lily had never hidden anything from her.Reina quickly understood. “A boyfriend?”Lily said shyly, “No! A male friend!”Reina smiled and said, “Alright. Have fun, but remember to report your schedule to Abel. Don’t run around for no good reason.”Lily said helplessly, “Got
On the way to Kingsland Manor, Lily and Galen did not speak much.However, Galen’s heart, which had been silent for many years, could not calm down for a long time because of Lily’s last sentence.After spending half a day together, he was more curious about Lily.She was brash and impulsive. It was as if she did not think of the consequences of her actions.She was also arrogant, as if she did not care about anyone.However, when Galen thought about it carefully, every impulsive action of hers had actually been planned well ahead.She had attacked Sean in the office just now. She seemed arrogant and cruel, but in fact, she knew very well that she had a chance of winning. She also manipulated Notus using his feelings of guilt.After getting into the car, she seemed to call her mother casually to have a chat. However, after hanging up, her smile disappeared.The cold aura that she unintentionally emitted was different from before.Hence, Galen could not help but try to pry into
Ruth nodded in understanding and was about to say something.Beep! Beep!There was the sound of the door being unlocked. Then, a petite figure entered the house.“Good evening!” Lily walked in quickly. As usual, she seemed a little surprised to see Ruth. “Ruth, why are you back so early today? Didn’t you say that you were going to be late?”“There’s nothing much to do at the training grounds today, so I came back early,” Ruth replied casually.Lily sized Ruth up.Seeing that she was fine, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Ruth was not stupid. If she was really injured, why would she let Denver be taken away by the traffic police? Moreover, Sean had said that Denver did not hit Ruth at all.Lily sat down on the armchair opposite Ruth. “I’m so tired! From tomorrow on, I don’t want to work at Lovehart Corporation anymore!”A hint of surprise flashed across Ruth’s eyes. “Why don’t you want to work there anymore? Is someone looking fo
“It’s good that he’s fine…”Ruth heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to ask something else, the person on the other end continued, “Your aunt asked me to pass on a message. Because of the special situation, she said that we have to be more careful in contacting them. Also, there will be some explosive international news soon. Don’t take it seriously, and don’t worry.”Ruth understood. Her aunt and the rest had suffered terribly. They would not let it go so easily.Since the enemy had used a despicable method like poison, it would be very difficult to end this matter without paying a price.“Got it. What do you need us to do?”“Eat, sleep, and be cute.”“Huh?”Ruth’s face was full of question marks as she heard the cold voice on the other end explain, “Your aunt said that.”Ruth was speechless.This call was to Abel’s phone.If her aunt had said this to her, it would have been to comfort her. However, by saying it to Abel, her aunt had basically announced that she h
After waiting for a few hours, no matter how stupid Denver was, he finally realized what was going on. It was not that he could not contact Ruth at all, but that Ruth was deliberately trying to take revenge on him.After all, if she did not appear, he could not be released.He did not see anyone the entire night. He was forced to watch traffic safety videos the entire night and memorize the traffic safety rules.The next morning, he looked haggard, with obvious dark circles under his eyes and stubble on his chin. He was in a sorry state, completely unlike his usual cold and elegant appearance.It was only then that he received the news that Ruth was unharmed and magnanimously said that he did not need to compensate her.The anger in his chest surged. “She said she won’t make a fuss? Then who will pay me back for the time I lost!”The traffic policeman frowned and glanced at him in surprise. “Do you want the victim to ask you for compensation?”Denver’s expression froze. He was s
Abel paused and frowned. “Did he wake you up?”He had not slept much.Just as Ruth had said, they barely had the upper hand now. They had to attack first and catch their opponents off guard.Abel would let Reina handle the overseas affairs, but the Lovehart family refused to let them have any peace.Abel asked Apollo to pass the message to Lockton Entertainment and encourage Mr. Herbert to cooperate with Power Unlimited Group. This included some of Blakewell Corporation’s medium-sized projects and connections with Sean’s private company.If Notus started to fear Sean, he would definitely investigate Sean thoroughly.As soon as he dug out his private business, he would realize that it was already related to Abel. Notus would definitely take measures then.As long as he started to attack, it would be enough to make Sean panic!“You didn’t wake me up. Why are you like this, honey?” Ruth leaned on the back of the sofa and came closer, looking very upset.This time, Abel did not co
She was worried that Sean would cause trouble for them.For some reason, she felt like she was in a very vulnerable spot and that nothing was going according to plan.When she woke up in the afternoon, she was thinking about sowing more discord between two brothers of the Lovehart family. Since she had no idea what was going on and nothing would affect her, she would just do what she wanted to do.She had wanted to get involved with the Lovehart family for a long time.However, when she woke up, she realized that Abel had already done what she wanted to do.An inexplicable sense of relief washed over her.Abel understood her.He also took everything she cared about to heart.She loved this feeling of being valued and understood. It was more addictive than falling in love.Ruth’s hand subconsciously crept up Abel’s shoulder.Ruth’s clothes were scattered all over the house.She wanted to stop him several times and say that they could continue after returning to the bedroom.
Terran’s suppressed anger almost erupted due to her attitude. “But that is the Lovehart family! Don’t tell me that you’re just…”“Aunt Terran, was Solomon the one who gave us our first collaboration?”Ruth interrupted her and looked at her. “After that, he also introduced a lot of investors to you, but you weren’t interested in any of them. The public says you’re arrogant, but why did you pick me back then? I was relatively unknown, wasn’t I?”Terran paused for a moment, then looked at her with disdain. “How long has it been? Why do you keep bringing this up? Even if you try to act cute, I won’t agree to cooperate with them!”Her attitude was firm, and she casually brought the topic back to work.But Ruth was not here today to talk about work.“My mother was your junior. Is that why you’re taking such good care of me? Grandpa did the same. He personally sought me out and made me Julius’s apprentice. He did that because my mother was his apprentice. However, I felt it was unfair t
