After Ruth hung up, she quickly called Dulcie. “The meeting went well. The wedding won’t have anything to do with the Lovehart family. What did Ouyan say about the publicity plan?”Dulcie paused for a second before she exploded. “I can’t believe you took so long to reply to me! Do you know how worried we were about you? I’ve already told Grandpa that if things don’t work out and the duke doesn’t come back, I’ll ask my uncle to make the wedding arrangements! The Rivas family will always be your maiden home!”The corners of Ruth’s eyes twitched. While she was touched, she still felt a little incredulous. “There’s no need for that.”It was just a simple wedding, but they were making such a big deal out of it.Moreover, she was not very interested in the wedding…Why did everyone want to help her make the wedding arrangements…“That’s not right. Also, why did you reply to me so late? You’re not lying to me, are you? Whatever! I’ll come over to you right away!” Still a little worrie

Abel was dumbfounded.She had already taken the car keys! It was clear that looking for him was an afterthought! However, seeing that she was in a good mood today, he did not argue with her. “There’s no need to go to the bar. Lily doesn’t have time to waste at bars these days.”Ruth looked at him in confusion.“Wait for a while. Ask her yourself when she comes back later.” Abel paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, she’s not as innocent as you think she is.”How could an innocent young woman have such a huge network in a foreign country?If he had not sent someone to follow her, he would not have discovered her secret!Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly. She could not help but recall their conversation after she returned from paying her respects at her mother’s grave.She said, “Lily is very innocent. My aunt sheltered her a lot…”“Wait… Is what he said true?” Ruth thought to herself.Ruth believed Abel’s words and put down her car keys. However, she could not help bu

Lily pursed her lips, and her face fell.She pulled a chair over with her foot and sat down. Her tone was helpless and emotional. “Ruth, you’ve really changed a lot in the six months since you returned to the country!”Ruth’s attitude toward her father had changed. She was no longer as cold and distant as before. It was quite nice.Ruth’s attitude toward her had also changed. She was actually starting to control her. It was very subtle, but it was noticeable.But it was not that annoying.“I know. I’ve become prettier.” Ruth’s expression remained cold and unmoved.Lily was speechless.Was Ruth being serious?Whatever!Lily decided not to discuss this topic and directly brought up what she had learned over the past few days. “Didn’t you ask me to investigate a woman who you thought was Notus’s mysterious lover?”Ruth paused. “Have you been investigating Notus these days?”Lily nodded. “Being here makes it more convenient to conduct the investigations! Besides, I’m bored!”Ru

Lily firmly believed in her previous theory.Ruth said nothing. It was as if she had been convinced.She looked at Lily with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking about something else.She thought that perhaps she really was not the daughter Notus had found.After all, she had lived with her mother for a few years. During those few years, her mother had always done whatever she wanted. Her mother did not look like a woman whose lover had abandoned herShe did not even try to avoid the Lovehart family.There was also that token and the pair of earrings. They were also the things that Ruth was sure had something to do with Notus.His mother did not have any special feelings for those things. She had just treated them like they were regular belongings.“Ah, it doesn’t matter. We’re just one step away from the paternity test results. When the results are out, the truth will be revealed.” Lily waved her hand impatiently.Ruth snapped out of her thoughts. “Paternity test? Did you manage to

Ruth returned to the bedroom to take a shower and went straight from the walk-in closet to the study on the first floor.Abel was on the phone when he saw her from the corner of his eye. He gave the person he was calling a few more instructions and quickly hung up.“Finished talking to Lily?” he asked.Ruth stood up from the sofa and walked up to him. Leaning against the desk, she crossed her arms and looked down at him. “Do you know what she’s been doing recently?”Abel nodded and said lightly, “I can roughly guess.”Ruth narrowed her eyes. “Then how did you guess her motives? Aren’t you surprised at all?”Abel met her scrutinizing eyes and quickly understood what she meant. He said rather ambiguously, “Grandpa asked me to keep it a secret.”Ruth was confused.She looked at his puzzled expression.It took Ruth a while to react. Perhaps what Abel meant was that Lily’s investigation was a step in the right direction. He could guess what was going on and was not surprised becaus
