Semua Bab Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife: Bab 221 - Bab 230

It was a question, but it was also a statement. Ruth nodded with a grunt. She had nothing to hide about it, anyway. After all, if Abel wanted to check how her company was doing, he could do so easily. Abel was silent for a few more seconds, as if he was waiting for her to continue, but Ruth showed no intention to continue talking. She just picked a watch, put it on, and started putting on her shoes. After some thinking, he asked, “How do you intend to take care of it?”Ruth did not even look up when she answered casually, “If Callum wants to target Lockton Entertainment, he will definitely use the connections he has to put stumbling blocks in my path, but I have certain connections that he can never hope to touch.”Abel’s eyes crinkled into a smile, and he gently asked a leading question, “Such as?”Ruth grabbed her handbag, stood up straight, and faced him. “Such as the genius investor of the entertainment industry, Harper Williams. She’s coming back next month and will join

Yeah… When Ruth put it that way, the excuse did sound kind of fake. Pearl went a little overboard there. Could she get a chance to redo?Of course not. Ruth would not give her that chance.Five minutes later, at the overpass of Riverside Road, Pearl stood by the roadside and refused to budge from where she clung to a signboard for dear life. She yelled at the Ferrari that left without a care in the world, “Ruth, you witch! If some car comes and kills me, I’m going to haunt you!”A car came charging in her direction, which terrified her so much that she hugged the signboard even tighter and shut her eyes in nervousness. It was Monday, and it was the morning rush hour. There were plenty of cars on the overpass, and they were whizzing down the road at lightning speed. There were no pedestrian underpasses nearby, so Pearl did not dare to move. The scorching sun rose to the sky and cast its bright rays on the ground. It also shone on the alloy signboard, so the rod that was curre

Then, forget Eternal Corporation, other investors would pour in, and they would have many other choices. Ruth cocked an eyebrow and asked seriously, “Would you believe me if I told you I was Harper Williams?”Just as she asked the question, she got a sense of deja vu. When Abel handed the property ownership agreement of the main mansion of Kingsland Manor residential area to her, he had asked her a similar question. “What if I told you that I’m the richest person in Sommerset?” At that time, she had not considered that possibility at all. She just thought that what Abel said was ridiculous. Who would believe that the man who married her for money would be the person who lacked money the least in the whole country?“Got it.” Nathan’s eyes shone with excitement. He picked up the paper and turned to leave. Ruth called after him. “Wait! Come back!”Nathan turned back. “What is it?”She just stared at him in disbelief. “You believed me? Just like that? Why? Don’t you find it

He did as he promised. Ruth saw all that he did to make it up to her. All the things he did to get into her good graces made her feel ashamed to ask him for parking fees. She could only secretly offset it for him in her heart. “You’ve already given me enough. I’m honored to receive the treatment of the richest man’s wife,” Ruth said coolly and put her arm on his chest to maintain a distance. Abel looked down and stared at her for a long time before he sighed softly and kissed her forehead. “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. If you need any help, go to Joseph.”Ruth was really averse to his affection, but her eyes lit up when she heard that he was leaving. “How long will you be away?”“For around five days,” Abel said gently.She was slightly disappointed. “Five?”“Yes. I’ll try my best to finish work as soon as possible so that I can—”“You don’t have to!” Ruth waved her hand. “There’s no hurry. Besides, it’s better to be more meticulous at work. Once you’re done, you c

Ruth’s mind was in clouds, and she only belatedly realized this was what he meant when he said that she would know once she tried. Abel did not do anything else. He only buried his head in the crook of her neck as his chest heaved. “You said that we got to know each other after living together all this time, didn’t you? Did you actually think that I would waste my time putting on an act before someone who is of no importance to me?“You never even asked me whether I liked men and just decided that I did based on rumors and the image you cooked up of me based on those same rumors.“I must say, it must have been really hard for you to maintain the marriage with that belief, considering the fact that you’d have to endure great humiliation to do so.”Once he said that, he pulled back, got up, and headed to the washroom. The sound of flowing water rose. Ruth laid on the bed in the same position as before while she stared at the ceiling. All she could think of were his words just now.
