He then changed the focus. “He might be thinking about commissioning a piece of jewelry. Last week, Mr. Kallan was contacting all sorts of major jewelry brands, but he wasn’t satisfied with what they offered.”Ruth cocked an eyebrow. “He has pretty good taste.”Her gaze instinctively moved to the bag beside her while saying that. He should like her gift, then. After Joseph left, the office fell silent. Ruth waited for a little over ten minutes. During that time, she flipped through the magazine in boredom, went to the french window, and looked at the cars underneath. When Abel came in, he saw a woman in a red one-piece dress. Her legs were straight and long, and her feet were wrapped in a pair of slingback heels. The straps encircled her fair ankles, which made her look delicate and aloof, but beautiful. Ruth added a splash of bright colors to the originally monochrome-colored office. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around and saw Abel standing at
When his lips touched Ruth’s, she fell silent. She blinked and stared at his now entirely too close eyes. She was stunned for a few seconds. However, soon, she reached out to grab his neck and clumsily but enthusiastically responded to his kiss. Once Abel noticed what she did, the love he had been suppressing burst forth like a flood. He grabbed her waist and deepened the kiss. When they broke off, Ruth leaned into him like she was boneless and panted softly. After a few seconds catching her breath, she said softly, “We kissed. You’re no longer mad, are you?”Abel looked down and put his forehead against hers. His voice was husky and deep. “Who taught you this? You know how to bribe someone now, huh?”“You did. Just last night.”He liked it when she acted cute and cooed at him in a cutesy voice. He liked it so much that he even taught his sugar mommy to do those things!Ruth suddenly remembered something and smiled mysteriously. “I have a present for you!”She sat up str
Abel pursed his lips. “Sorry. I should have been the one who prepared the rings.”Ruth’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. She already told him that she would prepare the rings. Why would he be the one to prepare them?But that was not important. As long as her husband was happy, the rings completed their mission by 200%. She picked up the man’s ring and put it on his finger before inspecting it carefully. The metallic surface of the ring seemed to shine even more when placed against his fair skin. It looked really good. “Do you have a wish? I’ll fulfill it,” Abel suddenly said. “Hmm?” Ruth gave him a puzzled look. “You want Lockton Corporation, don’t you? I can help,” he elaborated.The cold feeling on his finger went straight to his heart and made him feel an impulse he never had before. He wanted to fulfill all of her requests. Ruth was stunned for a few seconds, then she laughed. “How could you help? Lockton Corporation doesn’t consist solely of Lockton Entertainment. It
In the last few years, Caelus had spent more time at the Goldwell family’s mansion than the Warren family’s mansion. The moment he saw Callum’s behavior, he could tell what he planned to do. His heart sank, and ruthlessness appeared in his downcast eyes. The old coot had always looked down on him. Whenever anything a little bad happened, he wanted to cut ties with him. “The screenshots are real. I can’t deny them,” he said faintly. Callum flew into a rage and grabbed the ashtray beside him to throw at his head. “You’re an embarrassment to us all! Are you really going to marry Luna while everyone knows that you were the sugar baby of a woman?!”Caelus did not avoid it and let the ashtray hit him. “Of course not! I won’t let Luna be unhappy because of this!”Callum scoffed. “And how are you going to not make her unhappy? With your words or your face?”Those incredibly scornful words dealt an even more destructive blow than the ashtray. Caelus balled his fists and let the blo
“I didn’t want to bother you with this, but Rising Star has just spent a lot of money buying the copyright for a major piece of work. It’s something that I custom-made for Luna. It’s her welcome gift from Rising Star. I’m also going to be spending a lot of money later on, so I can’t fork out any extra money.”His last few words made Callum feel sympathy for him. Even though Caelus was mediocre in all other aspects, he did manage to make Rising Star become an influential company, and Callum was also satisfied with the way he treated Luna. Hence, his expression became more pleasant. He only criticized Caelus a little more before he dismissed him. “Treat that wound and leave. I’ll donate the money as soon as possible. Take care of everything else on your own.”……Ruth noticed that her sweet words and present had managed to make Abel happy, but not fully. He went straight into the study after he returned home. He did not eat dinner with her and did not say whether he was coming
Abel had been feeling distressed for a long time because he missed the best chance to tell Ruth the truth. However, he soon smoothed out his train of thoughts. As long as he was not lying with the intent to hurt Ruth, it should be harmless. He would just look for a suitable chance to tell her the truth. Ruth was not an unreasonable person, anyway. After all, this entire thing started because of a misunderstanding. Besides, she had a strange way of thinking. She might actually be glad once she learned of his true identity and would work even harder to curry his favor. But he would have to push back his plan of going to the family gathering with her…It was close to midnight when Ruth returned to her room to take a shower. Then, she turned on her laptop to answer some emails, but no words actually entered her brain. Abel did not tell her anything about the family gathering. Was he still angry?That shouldn’t be?It was just a misunderstanding, and she already told him all th
Abel’s mind was blank. He only realized what was going on when he was pulled onto the bed. “Apollo, you incompetent idiot! You betrayed me again!”Ruth’s reply to Caelus remained trending for an entire night, and things spiraled further out of control. After the screenshots of the money transfers were uploaded, they were followed by screenshots of countless orders for luxurious items. The enthusiastic netizens put two and two together and realized that they had seen all of the luxurious items on Caelus before. It was practically a sealed deal that Caelus was Ruth’s sugar baby in the past. #SugarBabyCaelus##CaelusDatedRuth##PitifulRuth##WhosTheHomebreaker#These were the tags on trending on the second day. The topic’s popularity just kept increasing, and the netizens were arguing nonstop about it. [Why aren’t you saying anything, Caelus? Shouldn’t you be thanking Ruth for spending so much money on you?][Unless Caelus is revealed to be Mr. Blakewell’s illegitimate s
If even someone who was not part of the family knew this, Ruth naturally did as well. She had never thought about asking Caelus to pay up, but since he offered, it would be a waste to refuse it. “Is that so? Wait a minute. Demi Barker’s manager will contact you soon.”Mr. Herbert could not make heads or tails of what Ruth said. Demi Barker was a famous artist from Rising Star, similar to Apollo in popularity. She was a real A-list actress, and her acting skills as well as fame were both on point. But what did she have to do with this?Ruth hung up and called an unregistered phone number. “Sweet—”The word “heart” got stuck in her throat as she remembered something. She then swallowed it and went straight to the point. “Sign a contract with me? It’ll be the same as last time. I’ll pay the breach penalty.”When she first took over Lockton Entertainment, she had wanted to hire Demi Barker to help her stabilize her position as the boss. However, due to Apollo stepping in, she
