Chapter 1849


    What''s with Ruby, talking smack about Hertha?


    The woman he adored like a precious gemstone, he wouldn''t let anyone cast a shadow over her!


    Hertha''s designs were splendid. He went all out for Ethan''spany, snapping up all of Hertha''s designs. And the final products? He carried them in his pocket, always close to his heart!


    And here was this woman, Ruby, daring to say that Hertha''s three nes couldn''t hold a candle to someone else''s single piece!


    ric, boiling with rage, grabbed Ruby by the throat, all his anger and hurt rushing to his head, making him tighten his grip.


    "Hertha, a nobody? Go do your homework. She''s way more famous than that so-called W!"


    ric spat out angrily.


    Ruby, already on her knees before ric, had no chance to fight back. Her face quickly turned the color of liver as she seemed to be in immense pain.


    Ethan and Richard, sensing things getting out of hand, knew ric was seriously pissed.


    Richard rushed to pull ric away, trying to calm him down, "ric, man, don''t lose it. We can talk this out."


    Ethan chimed in, "ric, W is Thssa. Remember her work you saw? Thssa''s been in the spotlight recently after a jewelrypetition. Ruby''s not lying."


    Despite Ethan and Richard''s efforts, ric was unmoved until Ethan mentioned W was Thssa. His expression softened slightly, but he was still furious at Ruby, coldly tossing her aside.


    Unfortunately, he threw her with a bit too much force, and at a bad angle. Ruby''s head hit the corner of the coffee table, eliciting a loud scream. "Ah!" She quickly clutched her head.


    "Ruby!" M and Alice, seeing Ruby in distress, yelled out in concern.


    In an instant, M gasped, covering her mouth, "Blood, so much blood!"


    Alice was equally shocked, "Ruby, you''re bleeding!"


    Ruby, looking at her hand now covered in blood, panicked and fainted.


    "Ruby!"


    Chaos ensued.


    Meanwhile, Kimberly had brought the kids over to Hertha''s ce for a rest. Hertha had just finished tucking Julian and Helena in with a bedtime story, ready to take a shower and hit the sack herself.


    Suddenly, her phone rang with a call from the police.


    Hertha, thinking it was a scam, responded irritably, "What do you want?"


    The voice


    On the other end spoke, "Is

    O your bail."


    "My friends are all ounted for, and non

    on bail. Don''t disturb my rest!" et


    Hertha retorted, about to


    Wang up.


    Then she heard a familiar voice on the line.
