When Nicholas heard Frank’s words, his eyes lit up sinisterly, and his heart was filled with glee.He originally thought that with Frank’s suspicious and profit-oriented personality, he would be more biased toward Abel after knowing his background.Unexpectedly, this made Frank dislike him.When this news spread, other than the shares in Abel’s hands and the empty reputation of being the person in charge of the Blakewell family, he could forget about taking away anything from Nicholas!It was no wonder that Frank was so decisive.This was because Ruth’s actions were too risky. In order to take revenge, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself.Night fell.After persuading her grandfather to sleep, Ruth returned to the bedroom with Abel.After taking a shower, she sat on the swing in the balcony to enjoy the breeze. Her gaze was fixed on her phone, and she was lost in thought for a long time.After a while, footsteps sounded behind her.Abel was also wearing pajamas. He slowl
This was because Prince Henry had ascended the throne and received the support of a large portion of the people. Thus, the celebration overshadowed the news of the illness.Most importantly, although the strange illness was aggressive, there were no signs of it spreading.The patients just needed to get better.Reina’s thoughts were very simple. Time would fix everything. After Prince Henry succeeded the throne, Charles’s power would return, and they would no longer have to tread so carefully.Thus, when this matter would be brought up again after so long, no one would care anymore.In the VIP ward of the hospital, Charles paced back and forth anxiously.His eyes were filled with anxiety.Reina lay on the hospital bed. She was eating a bowl of fruit with relish.Her actions were a stark contrast to him.However, looking at Charles like this, she could not help but tell him helplessly, ”I’ve already said that you can act according to the plan. I have plenty of time to go back i
Reina and Charles looked over in confusion.However, Dulcie kept them in suspense. “Forget it, you’ll find out later. I’d better not reveal it in advance.”Charles and Reina were incredulous.“Okay, then why are you here now?” Reina sounded helpless.Dulcie went to the sofa beside her and sat down. “I’m just here to ask you a few questions. Have you guys discussed it? Do you want to go back to attend Ruth’s wedding?”Reina did not say anything and looked at Charles.Charles’ expression was serious. He pursed his lips tightly and was silent for a while before saying, “If there’s really no other way, we won’t go back for the time being.”Reina frowned in disapproval. “Think about it carefully. It’s an important moment in Ruth’s life. If you keep missing out on these key moments, she might not keep you in her life in the future.”Ruth was very independent and had no actual need for a father.It was good that they got along. However, if this went on, Ruth might really just go back
Realizing that his goal seemed to have veered, Charles asked, “Can it really be cured?”The Sommersetese man gave him a jargon-filled explanation.Then, he quickly arranged for the hospital transfer to be on the same day.When the royal family received the news, they personally arranged for a private plane to send Reina to the Sommersetese hospital.In less than 24 hours, the issue of attending the wedding has been solved.Not only the hospital, but the mayor also personally received them.This was a matter of international relations, so he did not dare to be negligent.This time, it was different from the last sneaky visit Reina had made. Instead, it was a huge fanfare. Her arrival even made the headlines. It was, however, mainly to showcase the goodwill of the Sommerset medical professionals.On the other hand, Charles was no longer in a hurry after sending Reina away safely. Instead, he slowly stayed behind to pack his luggage.He could not let Ruth get married without a si
Ruth pushed the door open.Three gazes shot over.Noticing that it was Ruth, Lily heaved a sigh of relief. “Ruth! Look at Dulcie. She’s been bullying me from the moment she came back!”Narrowing her eyes slightly, Dulcie said, “Wow! What baseless accusations”Lily stuck out her tongue. “Blah blah blah!”Although Dulcie was older than Ruth and Lily, she got along with them very well. However, Dulcie still listened to Ruth, which was why she did not tease Lily all the time.Lily and Dulcie were close enough to bicker like siblings. Even though it sounded like they were arguing, this was how they got along.“Alright, stop fooling around.”Reina stopped them from bickering and greeted Ruth and Abel. “Why are you here so quickly?”Ruth stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Abel replied gently, “We were worried about you.”Reina looked into his eyes which were filled with worry. She rubbed her temples and explained the situation.“This is just makeup! I’m very healthy and there’s
Charles was a good man and had many responsibilities on his shoulders. Even though he had let down his loved ones once before, he was different from Notus.Everything he did was to ensure his family would survive and live a good life. He worked desperately for his family, not for his own selfish desires.“Why?” Ruth blurted out.Weren’t people like him very shrewd at critical moments like this?Moreover, why was she the only one who could not think that way?After all, they were only father and daughter in name…She looked at Reina in confusion and scrutinized her. “Actually, I don’t know him as well as you think.”Reina paused for a moment and explained, “He’s your father. Just based on the fact that he rushed into the fire to save your mother, he’s not a cruel person.”As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and told Lily, “And you, you have to believe him too. You can’t listen to rumors for no reason.”Lily, who was still feeling embarrassed, simply replied wi
In the ward, after the three young women left, the room became much quieter.The atmosphere became much more serious.Reina sized up Abel. “You know everything?”Abel leaned back in his chair and asked calmly, “Aunt Reina, what do you mean?”Reina was silent for a few seconds before she explained hesitantly, “Notus isn’t Ruth’s biological father at all. That was a lie I created to trick Sean.”If he mistook Ruth for the illegitimate daughter of the Lovehart family, he would try his best to hide her identity from Notus.Even if Notus found out by accident, Sean could still fake the paternity test.However, Sean did not expect Reina’s next course of action.Reina had sent a “fake” illegitimate daughter to the Lovehart family.“Yes, I know that. Lily also knows that because she has already met Notus.” Reina frowned in surprise. “She met Notus? When did that happen?”She would find out about this sooner or later, so Abel did not hide it. “I went to the Lovehart Corporation some
“Did you give her the news but not me?” As if she had thought of something, Ruth suddenly turned to look at Dulcie and asked in a questioning tone.“Of course not! I’ve never sent anyone a message ever since I got there. Your aunt won’t let me!”Ruth was confused. “Then, why did you come so fast?”Puzzled, Dulcie also asked, “Oh, right. Why were you so fast?”Through the rearview mirror, two scrutinizing gazes landed on Lily.Lily sat up straight, her expression stiff.“Well… Maybe I got the news from Galen. His team picked Mom up from the airport.”Ruth’s eyes twitched. “Did Galen know that he was picking up his future mother-in-law?”When Ruth said this, Lily became excited. “I think he did! He was very serious and careful! This was the first time I saw him in a formal suit. He was so seductive! Aah, he’s so handsome…!”Dulcie and Ruth wanted to roll their eyes. However, they silently let Lily gush over Galen.In the end, Lily and Dulcie started gossiping, and their conve
