“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.

    It was impossible!She blinked. Her eyes were open wide when she met his gaze square on and tried to make herself appear as sincere as possible. However, she did not notice that when she spoke to Abel, she subconsciously did so in an adorable voice. The inflections at the end of her sentences were elongated, and she sounded like she was whining while being sure that Abel would not say no to giving her more time if she did this. His gaze was dark and burned with passion. Just when Ruth was about to wilt under it, he finally looked away, sat up straight, and looked ahead. While he fastened his seat belt and started the car, he warned her, “Best hurry. My patience is limited.”Ruth sighed in relief once the oppressive feeling went away. But, when she heard his order, she scoffed and rolled her eyes. What was this? Was he addicted to playing the domineering CEO?Did he forget who called the shots at home?When Abel received no reply even after a long time had passed, he cast

    Abel’s pupils dilated, and his eyes turned as black as night. Ruth’s mind went blank. She grabbed her phone and locked it in a panic. The embarrassing sounds came to a halt. But the atmosphere in the room was already awkward. Ruth’s face was burning. Even so, she tried to remain calm. “I-I wasn’t expecting you to be done so soon.”Abel did not answer her. Instead, he went to the bed and knelt next to it on one knee before leaning over to Ruth. Ruth instinctively wanted to shift away from him, but the shadow cast on her seemed to be enchanted with a spell that pinned her in place. Abel reached out and grabbed her chin to force her to look at him. His heavy breathing spilled on her, and lust raged in his dark eyes. “Aren’t you thirsty, Mrs. Blakewell?”Ruth said nothing. Her eyelids twitched, and complicated emotions raged in her heart. The room was dark, with only the moonlight spilling in through the cracks between the curtains and landing on the maroon-colored wood

    Ruth frowned as she read the message. Did Caelus have a few screws loose? Why did he suddenly change his strategy?Some time ago, he showed the world that his love for Luna would never die and even told Ruth that he would marry her out of the kindness of his heart. It had not been a long time since that happened. Did he realize that things were not going his way and decide to be disgusting?Ruth had blocked Callum and Caelus’ contact numbers, but it seemed that he had changed his number pretty quickly. When she scrolled up, she saw the photo of his property deed. She smirked coldly. She had only casually asked him about the mansion in the afternoon, but to think that he would send it to her so easily…She saved the photo and sent it to Nathan along with a message. The next afternoon, after Apollo finished work, he was summoned by his brother to be his sparring partner at a boxing gym. Abel did not even waste his breath on him. He just started beating him up. It was t

    During the entire afternoon, Apollo remained in a state of extreme shock. He did not know what exactly had spurred his brother to make such a decision. At the same time, Luna was scrolling through twitter while resting from a shoot. When she saw the new trending tag, she was pretty satisfied. The marketing accounts were really sensible and had already uploaded the news about her move. Some nosy citizens had even managed to find their property deed. The discussion online around this topic was harmonious. Her fans praised her to high heavens, which caused the news to trend. [Is this the love between a princess and a prince? I’m so jealous!][Thank you for feeding us Caelus/Luna shippers!][You’re so blessed, Luna! You’re a winner in life!]As Luna read through the comments, her vanity was immensely stroked. An incoming call came. It was from her agent. “Luna, darling, DH has just contacted us. They hope that we can sign the contract for you to be their brand ambassador as

    Just as Ruth expected, the tag only trended for the duration of the afternoon before other types of opinions started popping up. [Luna, you’re a kind person. I heard that you’re going to donate sixty million dollars to Ventworth Ravine!][Huh? But there’s been no follow-up about the donation, hasn’t there?][Has she donated? I heard nothing about it!][What’s with that sarcastic tone? What on earth are you trying to say?][We’re just asking. There’s no need for you to go around complaining about it like we stepped on your tail, okay? We’re all Luna’s fans here.]The marketing accounts had been blindly praising Luna in the beginning, but, during the process, they suddenly remembered her donation, which caused another tag to start trending. This time, it was the question whether Luna had donated to Ventworth Ravine. Her fans eagerly defended her by arguing with random bystanders. The arguments grew in size and spurred quite a lot of sparks. Luna’s mood rose up and down like a

    Ruth soon picked up. She sounded lazy and relaxed. “‘Lo?”“Ruth, what are you doing?! What good would it do to you to ruin the Goldwell family and Luna’s reputations like that?! Even if I still like you, that love is going to disappear if you continue treating your family and Luna like this!” Caelus’s voice was dark, and his face was twisted from anger. Ruth was not surprised to receive his call. “Isn’t it obvious? You guys stole something from me, and now’s the time to prove whether you’re good enough to keep it! As for whether you like me or not? Heh…”She scoffed and did not say the latter half of her sentence, but her tone was filled with derision and mockery. Caelus sucked in a deep breath and did not expose her “lie”. He only squashed his anger as he spoke to her. “Is that role that important to you? She’s your sister. Why can’t you just give her the role?”“It isn’t. But I’d rather use a new actress than Luna.” Ruth’s voice became cold. Everyone in the Goldwell family w

    Once Ruth finished teasing him, she did not pursue the matter of him betraying her. Instead, with a serious face, she asked after his condition and whether he needed to go to the hospital. Apollo felt his wounded heart heal, and he waved his hand in dismissal. After Ruth returned to her bedroom, she went to take a bath. Since she was finally able to clock off work on time and did not have to go to any social gatherings, she took a comfortable, warm bath. It was only after she finished taking her bath that she realized she had forgotten to bring in a set of clothes. When she went to the bathroom, she had been thinking about the bidding for various intellectual works tomorrow. She wanted to buy some, but was worried that Lockton Entertainment could not handle them. Besides, there were other miscellaneous things she had to handle in the company. With her mind focused on them, she forgot the most important step of taking a bath—bringing in a set of clothes. She listened for a

    Her pleasant voice rose up at the end due to her question. That one word sounded like a seductive note that made Abel’s heart skip a beat. His pupils dilated further, and his voice became raspy and magnetic. “Join them together. Ask me in full.”Ruth was smart and immediately understood what he wanted after he gave her the hint. She knew that he was satisfied with the way she asked now, and she spoke much more smoothly and naturally this time. “Honey, could you get me a set of clothes? Pretty please with a cherry on top?”She thought that she was being nice and doing whatever Abel wanted to make him happy despite him being unreasonable and causing trouble for her, which made her feel resigned. However, when she said those things out loud, she was stunned. She did not sound like she was trying to make him happy. She sounded like she was acting cute instead. It was just like how Luna acted cute with Caelus…Ew!Disgusting! Blergh!When she saw Abel’s doting look, her cheek

    Galen stood nervously at the side. At first, he wanted to step in and help, but he held himself back.In the end, he gave up and watched the fight.The more he watched, the more startled he was.Despite her delicate frame, her moves were calculated and ruthless.Many of her moves were lethal.She was a young woman who was loved. She was pampered and adored by everyone. How was such a person so ruthless in combat?It was as if she often fought to the death…Mr. Watson was shaken as well. He covered his neck with one hand, while his other hand hung limply by his hand. He looked at Lily in shock. His other hand hung weakly by his side. He looked at Lily in shock.How could such a small and delicate-looking person possess such strength? Was she really the heiress of the Cavendish family?“Do you want to verify it? The wounds match with the one who attacked me. I broke his right wrist on the spot, though. After that, I didn’t wait for reinforcement to come. I moved immediately an

    Her hand paused while hefting the silver fork.Ruth’s husband was really very considerate. He loved her sister truly and everyone in her family.She decided to find a boyfriend like him for herself in the future.“I definitely will!” She thought.She stood in the spacious living room and looked at the man beside Galen who wanted to get to the bottom of this investigation. Her fingers tightened on the fork. “Words might not be enough to explain. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you give this a try?”Galen had not reacted when Charles spoke, nor when Abel had talked about switching it to a blunt weapon, but he definitely did now. “Nonsense!” he said sternly and stood up.Lily’s fighting spirit was ignited, but his stern rebuke deflated half of it. “Why not? Is it now allowed? You said attacking a police officer wasn’t allowed, didn’t you?”“He doesn’t count!” Galen said with disdain.Lily’s aggressive stance was completely deflated. “Well… if he doesn’t count, then his skills

    The seemingly innocent question was directed at the young police officer.He looked troubled.Her delicate appearance did not help.The young police officer turned to the stern-faced man beside Galen for some help. The man pursed his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice.“Your Excellency… Madam… the nature of this case is severe, but the process of investigation is smooth. If your daughter doesn’t reveal the whole truth, it’ll be difficult for us to reach the crux of the issue. I assume that you don’t just want the result from this investigation but also the truth?”His firm voice was authoritative yet respectful.Charles turned to look at him. His brown eyes were calm, and he was sizing up this person.The police officer’s cold demeanor momentarily faltered. He quickly looked away and did not dare look him in the eye. “We’re just following procedures. To prevent this matter from escalating further, we hope for your cooperation.”He sounded intimidated yet resolute. It seemed

    He was already determined to stake everything on his plan.“Right,” Lily said, “What about those bodyguards assigned to protect me? How were they swapped?”“Abel offered them ten times the price and bribed the group of bodyguards hired by Denver. The two poor people were taken down. The rest were replaced by our own people,” said Galen icily.Lily was shocked. She looked at him and then at Abel, who was driving calmly.Ruth looked at her husband with the same shocked face.So, this was how money made the world go round!When Denver had transferred money to that company, Lily had caught wind of it, but it seemed Abel had found out even sooner.He had already made arrangements to take drastic measures.“Don’t they have any morals? I heard that those kinds of organizations have principles. They won’t willingly betray the ones who employed them,” said Ruth.“As long as it’s not a terrorist organization, every organization needs connections. William’s group was already in dire stra

    It was mainly because Denver clearly fabricated an alibi. But he had appeared on the scene and had been taken away.It was indeed quite puzzling.At that point, everyone looked at Abel in confusion.Abel looked straight ahead and did not speak. He only spoke when he was asked directly.“The father and son lost because they didn’t know each other’s motivations. It’s easy to bribe their people to send a message to the other and get them to the scene…”Before they set off, Sean received news that Denver was going all out and wanted to go down with Lily in the manor in the suburbs.Sean did not doubt it because Denver had been acting increasingly strange recently.He was transferring his assets and buying and renovating manors. It was as though he was prepared for death.He had even arranged for his funeral.Afraid that his son was taking things too hard, he put down whatever he was doing and rushed over to the scene.Since that was taken care of, it was easy to deceive Denver af

    “See what you are doing? What if something happens to your sister?”Charles was not known for showing affection or caring about people outright.However, when his daughter cried and threw a tantrum, he could not stop himself.Charles stood by Lily without hesitation and scolded Abel for his incompetence.Ruth was originally filled with resentment and wanted to vent it out on Abel too, but when she saw that the father and daughter duo had joined forces to attack her husband, half of her resentment dissipated.With four bodyguards that had been arranged to deal with two outsiders, coupled with Lily’s abilities, her life was indeed not in danger…She glanced at Lily hesitantly. At this moment, Galen had cleaned up all the stains on her palm.Other than the redness between her thumb and index finger, she did not seem too badly hurt.All the resentment was gone. In fact, she was even a little protective. “Why did you have to deal with the four bodyguards?” Lily lowered her head an

    Everyone was speechless.This discussion was fruitless. Everyone had their own opinions, and no one wanted to give in.In the end, Reina and the old man took a car, while Ruth, Abel, Charles, Galen Barker, and Lily got into another.The fire slowly died down.The cars left one after another.After Mr. Lockton got into the car, his cloudy eyes became shrewd. He asked his daughter, “Do you think that police officer is also interested in Lily?”Otherwise, why would he be so active and rush to the front? Why would he find such a lousy excuse to be the one to drop her home?“I think so, but unfortunately, Lily doesn’t seem to be as interested as before,” Reina said helplessly.Otherwise, why would she reject such a good opportunity to get into his car?Wouldn’t she have acted pitiful enough to earn his sympathy to get into the car?Mr. Lockton frowned. He was in deep thought.The last time he had heard that his granddaughter had fallen in love with another man who happened to be

    Also, she was sure that if it was Luna being attacked at that time, he would have helped her without hesitation.This man was just like Notus. He was stupid, stubborn, and hypocritical.The reason why she spoke on his behalf was that she could not stand Luna’s smug face. Even if she wanted to drag someone down, she had to ask first.It was just the truth. She would not die if she made that clear anyway.Luna’s smug look cracked as she stared fixedly at her. Her gaze shifted from doubt to resentment and unwillingness.Aquilo was not surprised when Lily accused him. He knew that he had done something wrong. If not for Abel’s careful consideration, they would have died here today.However, he was quite surprised to hear her defend him.As he was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, he could not help but turn to look at her.“Lily…”Lily was about to walk to her car.She paused for a moment and turned to look at him calmly.Her usually playful eyes were indifferent at that

    Aquilo opened his mouth but did not know what to say.Just then, a team of uniformed police officers rushed over to the scene to rescue the hostages.Looking at the people standing before them, they could not tell which ones were the hostages.Galen Barker walked over from behind and glanced at them. “What are you still standing here for? Get out quickly!”This manor had an ancient Sommersetese courtyard.The place where they were gathered was a small open space in the courtyard.After passing through the desolate artificial mountain pavilion, they arrived at the large courtyard outside the manor. There were many people gathered there, with many police cars parked nearby.A fire truck had also arrived.To Lily’s surprise, Sean Lovehart and his father were also there and were being escorted into the police car.When he saw her coming out, Denver’s face filled with hatred. He wanted to rush to her and strangle her. “You’ve got guts! You risked your life to drag us down with you!
