Ruth’s whole attention was taken by Abel’s alluring Adam’s apple, and she gave a casual reply, “I have a friend who’s in the investing business. They said this show is definitely going to blow up.”Abel found it amusing. “Is your friend Harper Williams?”No one in the entertainment industry aside from the genius investor Harper Williams would dare to say such a thing about the script of a show. He had never seen anyone else with such guts. Ruth’s head flew up, and she stared at him with wide eyes. “How did you know?”Abel was stunned speechless. Her eyes sparkled, and her face was full of surprise. A few stray strands of hair stuck to her fair face, which added to her charm. His eyes darkened, and he tucked her hair behind her ear. His voice was raspy when he spoke. “So, you want to work with Grand Empire?”“Yup!” Ruth nodded. “You’re close to Apollo, so you should be part of the higher management in Grand Empire, shouldn’t you? If you secure this project, I can guarantee y

The sound of heels clacking against the ground came from up ahead. Ruth could tell that someone was approaching her quickly based on the rapid footsteps. “I’m sorry. We just moved here, and it’s really hard trying to find parking around here…”Ruth wound down the window, and a beautiful face showed up before her. Luna’s apology came to a screeching halt. “You?”“Every mansion has its own private courtyard. Ms. Goldwell, you’re one of the owners here. Can’t you park your car in your own courtyard?” The question was spoken casually, but it rendered Luna speechless. Of course she knew that every mansion had its own private courtyard and came with a huge garage. Caelus had always loved luxury cars. When they passed by the main mansion, he could not help but look inside. Apparently, the main mansion belonged to the person-in-charge of the Blakewell family, and it was rumored that he had a hobby of collecting luxury cars. But, unfortunately for him, he saw nothing. He only saw a re

Caelus’s expression was dark, but he swallowed the truth. “Just ignore her.”Luna thought that he was disappointed in Ruth, and she felt smug. She turned to look at the gate and swore in her heart that she would move into this rich area no matter the cost. Ruth drove out of Kingsland Manor residential area. Even though she had managed to vent her anger, she still felt horrible. She stomped down on her accelerator, and her car wove between the cars. At that moment, her phone rang, and she put in her bluetooth earphones. “‘Sup?”“Ruth, Grand Empire agreed to it! They said their boss made the decision to buy the licensing rights to the novel and the other three works at the same price!”Screech!Ruth stomped on the brakes, and her car skidded off the road. She tightened her hold over the steering wheel. Her eyes were wide with shock. “Their boss made the decision?”“Yeah. His assistant contacted me.”“And he bought the other three’s licensing rights too?”“Yup? Includ

Abel said nothing. If he had been displeased before, he was absolutely livid right now. Ruth called Apollo her sweetheart?Who was Abel to her, then?He hung up. The cold beeps made Apollo’s heart leap into his throat. He quickly called his agent. “Book a flight ticket for me. I’m going to Palis to receive Solomon Stone! Do it now, pronto!”His agent was flabbergasted. Apollo would be showing great respect to Solomon Stone by welcoming him at the airport. Why would he need to receive him at Palis?How could he degrade himself like that?“Apollo, you’re an A-list actor—”“Shut up! Another second here, and I’m going to die!”He said nothing else. Ruth returned to her office and looked at her company’s situation. After she took over, the schedules for their projects had been pushed forward. They had started working on new reality TV shows, movies, and TV shows. Even if she was not in the company, Nathan did a good job managing the company, and, just as she expected, the

Ruth’s eyes lit up, and she sat up straight. “I’d dare to!”Abel’s gaze was full of doting affection, even if he did not realize it himself. “You’d dare to publicly go against Blakewell Corporation?”Ruth gave a small smile, but her bright eyes sparkled full of life. “I came here today to talk about this, but he’s too busy to meet me. Lockton Corporation belongs to my family, so it’s only logical for me to want its companies. He’ll have to forgive me for wanting to buy them. I believe he’ll be able to understand my reasoning and won’t hold it against a nobody like me.”Abel coolly gave her a reminder. “I thought you said he has a few screws loose in his head and is a bald, single man, who only cares about profit?”Ruth had lost her rationality from anger earlier, and it was only at this moment that she realized that Abel belonged to Grand Empire, and she had just cursed at his boss. She also needed his help…Her smile gained a flattering edge. “Those were just assumptions! If yo
