“Sorry for not keeping an eye over Luna.” A cold and carefree voice drew closer with the sound of heels hitting the floor. Ruth opened the door with a stack of papers, and her eyes fell on Callum’s face. “But I’m only an intern who just joined Lockton Jewelry. I haven’t even seen the participants’ name list before. There’s no way I can keep an eye on a certain person who is not a professional jeweler.”When Callum saw Ruth, his eyes turned wary, and he was instinctively on guard against her. “Why are you here?”Ruth waved the stack of papers in her hand and said innocently, “For the meeting, duh. I’m a minor shareholder now. I have the right to come here, don’t I?”Callum fell silent. He almost forgot about that. But hadn’t she been absent from the company over the past few days?Ruth took a seat and immediately fell into her work mode. She went straight to business. “Based on what I know, these two jewelers aren’t the only ones missing from the name list. There are other jewel

The meeting room gained an unreadable atmosphere, and the air felt suffocating. Someone came to mediate the situation and took up Ruth’s suggestion. They said that everyone wanted to think this through, and the meeting ended. The shareholders got up and left, but Callum did not. In the end, only a few people remained in the meeting room. The person sitting closest to Callum stood up and went to his side to whisper to him, “Mr. Callum, don’t lower yourself to the same level as Ruth. She just joined the corporation, that’s why she’s being so haughty. We’re the ones deciding whether we’re going to take up her suggestion or not. If we don’t take it up, her suggestion is useless.”“Do you have a better idea other than hers?” Callum asked that person coldly. That person fell silent. He did not have a better idea. Callum knew that he could not reject Ruth’s suggestion, either. However, agreeing to it and being forced to agree to it were two entirely different things. He initial

Ruth did not shout, but the people around could hear her clearly. No emotions could be detected in her voice, but the words were spoken with great arrogance. She was basically implying that if her passenger was interested in Joey, she would win him over. But wasn’t Regality a host club under Blakewell Corporation? Was she saying that she would win Joey over to become a host?They looked toward the passenger seat. In the next second, a tall person appeared before everyone’s eyes. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his perfect, handsome face was cold and distant. He cast a cold and profound glance at the stunned Joey, and his clear voice was frigid. “He’s so-so.”He spoke with an air of superiority, and he was nitpicking Joey’s looks, but no one could hate him. In fact, they thought this was all par for the course. Some people were just born superior to others. The people there fell silent, but Joey was the first to react to the situation. His expression turned sour. “What t

His sudden change in attitude confused Ruth. She could not figure out whether he was smiling out of anger or mocking her. Ruth then came up with an idea. She got up, walked to his side, hugged his arm, and sat down on the couch. “I watched Aquilo Lovehart’s races last night. Guess what I discovered.”Abel looked at her and went along with the conversation. “What is it?”Ruth said mysteriously, “I know him.”Abel widened his eyes. “Not only do I know him, but I also even raced against him abroad at a race my friend organized.”Abel was surprised, but he finally understood why she was so confident. However, he remained cautious and asked, “What’s the difference in skill between you two?”Joey and Aquilo were about the same in their level of skill. Even if Ruth had raced against Aquilo before, it was still too risky. After all, the stakes were really troublesome to Abel. Ruth was simply too rash. Even though Abel was right there, he did not manage to stop her. “I’d say we’re qu

Abel was shocked that Joey had not left yet and still wanted to race against Ruth. Aquilo was also surprised because he was not expecting Joey to be here. And what did he mean by that? Was he implying that he had a race with Ruth?Aquilo gave them a puzzled look before he gave Joey a questioning one. However, Joey did not look at him. He just stared at Ruth and said teasingly, “But this is the first time I see someone who’s not vying to get into Aquilo’s bed but is instead trying to get into mine.”…What?Ruth did not even know what to say as she stared at Joey. After a few seconds, she said, “Being confident is good and all, but being overconfident just makes you stupid.”Joey just thought she was being stubborn and did not mind. He just gave a signal with his hand. Someone drove a Lamborghini over and parked it in front of them. Joey gave Ruth a challenging look and walked past her to get into the car. When he sat in the driver’s seat, he grabbed the steering wheel with o
