Chapter 98 Make Unreasonable Demands
“You … ” Declan just wanted to get close to Ruby, just as he opened his mouth, Ruby took out her mobile phone with her head down, looked at it, and walked away while answering the phone.
Declan’s raised hand froze in mid-air as he watched Ruby walk away, his face full of pity.
“Dad, why are you calling me at this time? Is there something wrong?” A cold smile played at the corners of Ruby’s mouth, but her tone was tinged with care.
Spencer was comforted and felt more and more that Ruby was far, far better than Rita.
The Harold family has been in trouble until now, Rita has not even concerned about him, and he has not even been able to see her. It was Ruby who not only cared for him, but also tried every possible way to convince Levi to help.
Unfortunately, that man, Levi, has no intention of helping at all.
“Ruby, do you have time today? Can you come home? I miss you, so many things have happened at home recently and there’s no one at home.” Spencer said with a sigh, his tone carrying a few moments of despondency.
“Sure, I’ll be back later then.” Ruby agreed with great alacrity.
After hanging up the phone, she gave a dismissive sneer before turning around and going to get her car.
“Miss Harold, are you going out?” Declan greeted hurriedly when he saw Ruby walking back.
“Yes, something came up and I had to do with it.” Ruby nodded politely.
It was not yet certain whether the Declan was Lone Wolf or not, and it was not good for her to ask directly now, lest she might alarm him, so it was always right to make good relations first.
Lone Wolf is one of the top international mercenaries, and as long as he takes on the orders, he never misses it.
Unfortunately, the man hadn’t taken on an assignment for some years.
Ruby has recently had a very important assignment at the Institute that she needs to find a reliable person to take on, and after thinking about it, only Lone Wolf actually meets her requirements.
This is an important reason why she showed up at the Starry Night Club, looking for Lone Wolf.
“Do you need a ride?” Declan was enthusiastic and raised the car keys in his hand.
Ruby looked down at the car keys she held in her hand and smiled politely at Declan.
Declan saw this before scratching his head, “Right, I forgot you have a car yourself.”
“I’ll leave first, Mr. Bell, in any chance, let’s drink together.” Ruby said to Declan and got into the car to leave.
It was already two hours later when she arrived at the destination.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Since the accident, the house looks much more depressed and the flowers and plants inside are left untended and growing very rough.
Ruby glanced at the door as she entered, no extra emotion in her eyes.
The mansion originally belonged to the Grant family. When Spencer married Nellie, Grandpa gave this old mansion to Nellie as a dowry, but he never expected that Nellie would end up being entrusted with the wrong person, not only to his own detriment, but also to the detriment of Grandpa and Grandma.
Ruby looked at the overgrown flower garden and the corners of her lips curled before she stepped inside.
As soon as Spencer saw Ruby return, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face: “Ruby, you’re back. Are you tired? What have you been up to lately? I haven’t seen you home for a long time, have you been with Levi lately?”
“Dad, if you have anything you want to say, just tell me directly, no need to beat around the bush, we are family.” Ruby looked at Spencer in a good manner and spoke thoughtfully.
Spencer rubbed his hands together, his face full of relief, “Actually, it’s nothing, I just hope you can do me a favour.”
“I really can’t do anything about Levi. You heard what he said last time, so don’t hit on him. What about Rita? Since she and Lennon are engaged, she must be able to convince Lennon to help the Harold family through the difficulties, right? How come I don’t see her at home?” Ruby didn’t wait for Spencer to say anything before she simply cut him off.
Spencer smiled awkwardly, his face was pale, but he still managed to speak: “What I want you to help is not this matter. I know about Levi, he is iron-faced and selfless, everything has to be done according to the rules. I am asking you to help me with another matter.”
Ruby looked at Spencer with some doubts; it was not like Spencer to stammer like this.
She guessed Spencer was trying to make a mess again.
“Then tell me, Dad, I’ll see if I can help.” Ruby squeezed out a smile.
“You will stay at home tonight. I’ll order the housekeeper to prepare the meal now.” Spencer took Ruby’s hand and went over to the sofa and sat down.
Ruby frowned, wondering what kind of tricks Spencer was playing.
Soon, though, she knew.
Just after six o’clock, the sound of a car engine rang outside.
Ruby at first thought it was Rita who had returned, but when she got a look at the person who entered, her face changed slightly.
The person who came was not Rita, but Lennon.
With a cold smile on his lips, Lennon looked at Ruby who was sitting on the sofa and walked straight over.
“It was you and Rita who set me up? You caused me to be lectured by my grandmother and my mother. Ruby, I had underestimated you, I didn’t expect you to be so capable.” Lennon smiled sinisterly and looked at Ruby, wishing to eat her alive.
Ruby glanced at Spencer, who had already left at a fast pace, and instantly understood everything.
Spencer is really the same as ever, he will sacrifice anything for the sake of profit and for himself.
She guessed Lennon gave him a generous enough offer, so he tricked her into coming back.
Ruby felt very ridiculous.
“Rita told you that?” After Ruby figured everything out, she was in no hurry, so she looked at Lennon and asked in a cold voice.
Lennon sat down beside Ruby and reached out to rest his hand on the backrest of the sofa, looking at Ruby with a touch of lustfulness under his eyes.
Compared to Rita, Ruby is completely better in terms of appearance and temperament.
There is no second woman in the whole of Sea City who is more beautiful and has a better temperament than Ruby.
Lennon was originally a lustful man who had played with countless women, but it was the first time he had seen such a superb beauty as Ruby.
In particular, Ruby is also the fiancée of his elder brother, Levi.
Lennon feels excited just thinking about it.
“It doesn’t matter who said it, what matters is that you have set me up, then you have to pay the price. Ruby, your father has already sold you to me, tonight, you won’t be able to escape.” Lennon laughed heatedly and reached out to hook Ruby’s chin.
As his hand had only just reached out and touched Ruby, Ruby reached out and grabbed his wrist, breaking it with a slight force, which immediately caused him to scream in pain.
“You, you, you, what are you doing! Ruby, you are turning against me? How dare you make a move against me? Do you know that I can crush your family to death with a single move of my finger?” Lennon was in pain and anger, he spoke viciously and intimidatingly to Ruby, and reached out to grab Ruby’s hand again.
But Ruby’s skills were so good that even Levi had to suffer under her hands if he was not careful, so how could she possibly be taken advantage of by Lennon?
