《Yes, I'm the Richest Man's Wife》全部章節：第 771 章 - 第 780 章

As soon as Julius said this, the entire venue fell silent.The final round of the assessment was to fight a senior. They could pick any senior they liked. As long as they could last five moves against their opponent, they would pass.This was the most difficult stage. Every year, only a third of the fresh candidates would pass.Therefore, they usually chose a senior who was close to them in age.Most of them had already decided on who to pick. However, a dark horse had suddenly appeared!Looking at the pretty young woman in front of them, many examinees’ eyes lit up.Some of the bolder ones could not help but pipe up.“Mr. Julius, are you kidding? Is the new instructor really the pretty young woman beside you and not Mr. Blakewell?”“You’re not joking, right? We’ve heard of the mysterious apprentice’s reputation. They’re talented and outstanding! I can hardly believe that this girl is the mysterious apprentice!”“Hahaha, that’s right! She looks so delicate! Wouldn’t Mr. Julius

Normally, it would not be possible to see the second floor from where the audience and the judges were seated. However, Abel was sitting at the edge and could just about peer into the second floor.Abel’s eyes flickered as he got up and walked toward the stairs at the end of the corridor.The assessment was still ongoing.Ruth was about to walk back when a voice from below the stage stopped her.“Ms. Ruth, please wait. I would like to spar with you!”It was hard to believe that Ruth had defeated the first candidate so fast. People were starting to speculate that the first candidate was a weakling.The young man who had spoken just now was different. He was one of the best among the candidates.Ruth sized up the young man in front of her and was about to walk back when someone in the judge’s seat coughed twice, attracting her attention.She turned around and saw Finnian winking at her.Ruth’s eyes flickered. She understood.This was someone that Finnian had his eye on. She had

Julius’s eyes widened in dissatisfaction as he listened to Abel.Abel retracted his gaze and looked at the two men in front of him. “She’s very guarded. When we first met, other than the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Lockton family, I didn’t know anything else about her.”Frederick’s eyes flickered in understanding.He wanted to ask if Ruth was apparently level-headed at all other times.He pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. Then, he retorted, “We just met. Why are you telling us your life story?”Abel lowered his gaze. “Even though I was in love with her, it took me a long time to find out her secret identity as a famous jewelry designer. She also excels in other fields.”Julius was stunned. How had Ruth hidden this from them?Frederick frowned and listened to Abel’s accusatory tone before chiming in.“That means that you didn’t work hard enough to make her let her guard down in front of you! If she had trusted you enough, she would have told you

Everyone looked over.A tall and handsome man leaned over the railing. He was looking at Ruth gently.He took off his jacket. The aura around him was relaxed. It was as if he belonged here.Julius and Frederick had been staying upstairs. It looked like this man had been with them.Had Ruth told them the truth?Was she really going to have lunch with the head of the family?The seniors looked at Ruth and heaved a sigh of relief. There was no need for another argument.In contrast, the newcomers looked at Ruth with admiration and excitement.Ruth was indeed Julius’s favorite. No one could replace her.Ruth glanced up at the stairs, stared at Denver, and left.After she walked far away, the crowd started chattering.“Who said that she was bluffing? Mr. Julius really likes her! In the past three months, have you seen Mr. Julius eat with anyone?”“We haven’t even seen him eat at all!”“Why? Denver is so talented! How could she beat him?!”“That’s right! How is she so lucky?”

“Why haven’t I heard you mention this before? Also, why haven’t I seen your fifth apprentice before?” Ruth asked in surprise.Julius replied, “Before he became my apprentice, he didn’t come here much.”Ruth asked curiously, “Why?”Frederick took over the conversation and ended the topic. “Alright, this has nothing to do with him. You don’t have to care about him.”Ruth was incredulous.She was just curious!She did not continue asking.However, she wanted to ask directly if Denver was related to the clue that they had found out from Dulcie.However, when she thought of her main purpose for coming back, she was worried that they would misunderstand her again, so she did not say anything.She was distracted as she poked at her food.Julius treated Ruth like his own daughter. Back then, he had taught her everything and treated her with love and respect. Naturally, he knew what she was thinking.He sighed softly and took the initiative to clarify her doubts. He also brought up t
