After she hung up, Serenity quickly sent Ruth the photo.Ruth tapped on the picture, and her gaze changed subtly.“Isn’t this...?”A cold male voice suddenly came from behind her. “Joey’s appearance is quite popular in Regality. However, because of the Oakland family, it’s not appropriate to force him to receive clients.” Ruth jerked her head around and saw a familiar figure. “Why don’t you make a sound when you walk? You almost gave me a heart attack!”Abel walked around the sofa and sat down beside her. “Only people who have done something wrong become jumpy.”Ruth tilted her head to look at him. “If you’re going to say I’ve done something wrong, I’m going to get mad.”Abel leaned against the sofa and gazed at her.Ruth put down her computer and looked at him with a faint smile. “You’ve been checking out the list of contestants who raced at the Lost Legends League over the past three years. Are you looking for a certain woman?”Abel was stunned. “Who told you that?”Ruth n

“Treat me to dinner tomorrow night! I’ll choose the restaurant. You treat, but I’m paying!” With that, Tom looked at Abel as if he was explaining something. “See? I didn’t take advantage of your wife!”Abel did not speak, but instead threw a disdainful look at him.They had known each other for so many years that Tom knew Abel’s thoughts like the back of his hand.But his attempt to placate Abel was too obvious. Even Ruth realized the inconsistency. “You’re paying? There’s no such thing as a free meal.”Tom smiled gently. “We’re all friends! Speaking of which, you’re practically my sister now, but I haven’t even treated you to a proper meal yet!”“Sister-in-law.” Abel corrected him coldly.Tom clicked his tongue and pointed at Abel. “Look at him fussing over these superficial things.”Abel put his arm around Ruth’s shoulders and walked toward the ward. “Let’s go see your grandfather.”“Alright! Sister-in-law, it is!” Tom quickly stopped the two of them. “I’ll book a restaurant

The night grew darker, and neon lights flickered as the city’s nightlife began.Inside Regality, someone bumped into an exquisitely handsome waiter and knocked over his wine glass. A group of women lounging nearby started teasing him.The youngest woman of the group was sitting on a sofa with her legs crossed. She said, “Young man, you’re too soft and delicate. You’re really not suited for this line of work! Why don’t you come with me tonight? I’ll cover all your expenses for next year!”As soon as she said this, someone immediately laughed and said, “Miss Coral is so stingy! You’re only going to keep such a stunning beauty for a year?”The girl crossed her arms. “What do you know? It’s natural for women to want new things! What if I fall in love with someone else a year later? I can’t be two-timing, right?”“Hahaha, Miss Coral is so thoughtful!”“Hey, handsome! Just listen to her! Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences tonight!”“You should feel honored that Miss

Serenity was caught off guard and almost lost her balance when Joey pulled her. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she gazed at his tall and straight back. This kid was righteous. He actually moved to protect her. It was a pity that she was not a damsel in distress, but a hero.Serenity stood on tiptoes and leaned close to Joey’s ear as she praised him, “You’re quite impressive, suddenly getting all tough! Are you worried about me? You’re too considerate...”Joey jerked to the side when he felt her breath in his ear. He glared at the fearless Serenity. “You still have the mood to joke at a time like this?! Do you know whose territory this is?”“I know. It’s the Blakewell family’s establishment!” Serenity still looked indifferent.Coral’s expression turned even uglier when she saw the two of them conversing in low whispers. They were not taking her seriously at all!Her cold eyes glared at Joey as she gritted her teeth and said, “Alright! Since you want to act like a hero, I’ll fulf

Mr. Drew was the manager of Regality. Although he had heard of Serenity’s reputation, he did not take her seriously.The reason why he even paid attention to her was because Mr. Blakewell had personally instructed him to send a few seasoned hosts to Miss Serenity’s establishment.Mr. Drew dubiously did as he was told and secretly asked Mr. Kallan about it. It was only then that he learned that Miss Serenity had brought Mrs. Blakewell to Misty Rain to look for hosts, which provoked Mr. Blakewell.The ins and outs of the matter became unimportant. The important points were: One, Mr. Blakewell was married; and two, Mrs. Blakewell and Miss Serenity were friends!Therefore, Mr. Drew had to be especially considerate of Miss Serenity. It was as though she had a big sign above her head that read: Mrs. Blakewell’s Bestie!However, even if she was Mrs. Blakewell’s friend, she could not insult Mr. Drew like this.“I’m sorry, I was careless with my words,” Serenity apologized sensibly and th
