Semua Bab Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife: Bab 311 - Bab 320

“Let’s wait here for them to come. Besides, to them, I should already be half-dead from the fall. I don’t think they’ll bring a large group of people to kill us.” “...This is a gamble. It’s too dangerous.” Eilam might be giving her a warning, but his eyes were flashing in excitement. Honestly, he did not care for the fights these rich people had. To him, these were just playground fights. And these tricks to kill women were especially childish to him. However, this was a task assigned to him by Abel, and he was to prioritize the madam’s safety. Still, he was in the special forces once, and the blood of a fighter flowed through his veins. Naturally, he did not want to run away like a coward. Ruth could tell what he was thinking, and she cocked her eyebrows in amusement while she continued to stir him up. “If you’re scared, you can leave first.” Eilam fell silent. He had to admit that the reverse psychology tactic worked. Even so, he had to consider one problem. “What i

Ruth’s mind snapped back to the present. Her body moved before her mind could react, and she quickly turned her body to the side. Jasper did not manage to stop in time, and he fell off the cliff. The smugness in his eyes turned into fear. In the next second, someone grabbed the back of his shirt collar. Ruth’s clear and arrogant voice rang beside his ears. “I shouldn’t live, huh? Who should live, then? You?”Due to the rain and fog, Jasper could not even see the end of the cliff. He gulped. “Ruth, don’t—”“Who do you even think you are? Do you actually think you’re that great? That the Imperial City doesn’t welcome me just because you don’t? Nicholas is using you, and you’re feeling proud of it! You even said God is helping you. Hah! Your mom must have dropped you on your head when you were a baby. Your IQ is practically the same as an infant’s. Even an ostrich has a brain, but you don’t!”Ruth’s grip was unsteady, and Jasper swayed in her hands. No matter how good of a fighte

Abel could not believe she was reacting to the situation this way. He patted her back and asked patiently, “Were you scared?”Ruth shook her head and nuzzled against his chest, but she said nothing. Galen got out of the car and was just about to greet Abel when his phone rang. He went to the side to answer the call. It was from his subordinate, who was reporting the situation on his side. After hanging up, Galen walked over and saw how Ruth was huddled up like a frightened bird in Abel’s arms. His expression twisted into one that cannot be described by words. Perhaps it was because his stare was burning into her back, but Ruth was able to get herself out of her funk. She looked at him. “Did they seriously manage to escape?”Abel scowled in displeasure. “They ran?”Galen shook his head. “No. They’re all in the MPV. We managed to capture all of them.”Ruth nodded. “That’s good.”Galen continued staring at Ruth’s calm face. In the end, he could not quell his curiosity and a

Abel was surprised. He did not expect her to ask this question. When he saw her inquisitive and anxious eyes, his heart fluttered. “You’re worth it.”“But—”“No buts.” Abel cut her off before she could launch into any sort of self-doubt. “Didn’t you say you wanted to apologize? Are you trying to change the topic?”He did not like seeing her look so vulnerable and helpless. She should shine brightly and confidently at all times. At the sight of him asking for her apology so sternly, Ruth snickered before she put on the face she always had when she talked about something serious. “Alright. Did you think that I didn’t want to go watch a movie with you because I wanted to see Caelus?”Right after the words left her mouth, Abel’s expression froze, and he fell silent. The silent agreement verified Ruth’s theory. With an expression that said, “I knew it,” Ruth explained in resignation, “That wasn’t the case. Brendon Hollis sold the formula for the medicine, and Caelus was the buyer.

Abel had looked her over just now; Ruth was not injured. Besides, considering how gutsy she was and how she had actually waited for Jasper to arrive, there was no way Jasper could have actually scared her. So, what exactly happened that made Ruth feel so down when she came back? Abel had never seen Ruth behave like that before. She was dejected, frail, and in despair. In fact, she looked like she was doubting everything, including herself. Ruth’s eyes were partially shut. She nuzzled against his chest and said in a drawl, “What could he have possibly done to me? You should be asking what I did to him.” Abel looked down at her and asked, “What did you do to him?”Ruth sneered and looked at him. “You already know. I asked Eilam to beat them up and strip them naked before leaving them there.”“You knew that I would send someone to pick you up, and that’s why you made sure they couldn’t leave?”“Nah.” She did figure that Abel would notice she was in trouble, but she did not kn
