Mr. Herbert understood just how biased Calum was, but he was a wily old fox who looked down on Calum and did not trust Ruth, so he decided to protect his own interests by staying out of their family’s affairs and refusing to say anything about it. Nathan diverted the subject by saying regretfully, “But it’s still sad that we lost the copyright for Silent Love. We assessed it so thoroughly and planned for it, but it ended up benefiting someone else instead.”“Don’t be sad about it. I never wanted the copyright for that book.”What?Both of them stared at her. Ruth gave them a mysterious smile. “Just wait. You’ll understand what I mean later.”Nathan was patient and phlegmatic, so, when he saw how confident she was, he felt at ease and did not ask any further questions, while Mr. Herbert did not care about it. His sole goal was to deal with Ruth’s current scandal. He happily went out with his phone in hand and waited for a crucial moment to add fuel to the flames and stir the p

Just how busy was he that he could not check his phone even after a few hours had passed?They both worked in the entertainment industry. There was no way he would not pay attention to what was going on in his field, right?If he saw it but did not ask anything about it and ignored Ruth, it was clear that he was not busy but angry!Night fell. Kingsland Manor residential area was bright due to the streetlights. When Ruth got home, she found Apollo sitting in the living room and playing games. He was the only one there. The special effects on the screen were really flashy and loud, so he did not even notice her when she opened the door. Mrs. Greenwell came up to her respectfully to take her handbag and handed her a pair of slippers. “You’re home early today, Madam.”Ruth grunted in acknowledgement and looked upstairs. “Where’s Abel?”“He’s not back yet. He said that he won’t be coming back for dinner.”Ruth froze while changing out of her shoes. She looked at Mrs. Greenwell

Abel was surprised. “She’s coming over?”“Not to where you are right now. I was worried that it wouldn’t be convenient for you, so I asked her to go pick you up at Grand Empire. I said you’re going back to work overtime at the company.” Apollo continued, as if he was asking for praise for his deeds. “Aren’t I smart? Ruth is really smart. If she saw your friends, she might suspect who you really are. She’s feeling guilty over what she did, but, if she finds out that you’ve been hiding your true identity, you’re going to be the one in the wrong.”Abel sneered. “Then, should I thank you for being such a smart boy?”He was currently at a club near Kingsland Manor residential area, which was far away from Grand Empire. What Apollo did was make both him and Ruth take a huge detour to meet over there. Besides, he did not show up at Grand Empire often. Aside from the top brass, only a handful of people knew him. It was not appropriate for Ruth to go to Grand Empire.“It’s nothing. This

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

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
