Chapter 1286


    After that, Christopher left Elliot and Ruby to their own devices.


    "Boss, personally I think the reason your father asked for you to return was to keep Elliot''s power in


    check. I heard that Mr.


    Gould had told Elliot that if he can get back his money, he would give him some of the core business to


    manage," said one of Christopher''sckeys.


    When Christopher heard what hisckey said, he gritted his teeth in frustration. " Father still doesn''t


    trust me!"


    "Boss, you have to rx. I''m sure that if Mr. Gould asked you toe back, it means that he doesn''t


    trust Mr. Foster also. Even if Mr. Foster is Mr. Gould''s son-inw, he will never be a Gould. That''s why


    there is no way that Mr. Gould would give away his life''s work to him," said theckey.


    "If father hands over too much of thepany to Elliot Foster, there''s nothing I can do! What is the


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    stubborn old man thinking?"ined Christopher.


    Theckey fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "Boss, we have to act now, when we still can..."


    Theckey''s voice trailed off, but Christopher knew what he was insinuating.


    Ruby, at the same time, was totally drunk and she refused to let Elliot who was escorting her to her


    room, leave.


    "Elliot... why is it so hot?" asked Ruby.


    Before Elliot could say anything, Ruby started to take off her clothes.


    Elliot immediately picked her up, threw


    her in the bathtub, and sprayed her with cold water.


    Ruby immediately frowned as the cold water made contact with her skin, "Cold, Elliot, I''m so cold."


    "I thought it was too hot? I will call the nanny in to help you," said Elliot.


    "No! I don''t want the nanny, Elliot, I want you. You don''t have to do anything. Just stand there and be


    with me,” said Ruby as she embraced Elliot''s arm.


    Elliot could not help but feel that Ruby seemed like a totally different person when she was drunk,


    almost as if her usual demeanor was a mask she put on to please him.


    Elliot pushed Ruby away, "Don’t be stupid."


    Ruby was jolted awake by Elliot''s hard words.


    Ruby put her h>d-:PNP


    "Okay," said Elliot as he walked out of the room in big strides.


    The nanny immediately went up into Ruby’s room after Elliot summoned her.


    After making sure that Ruby was safely in the nanny’s hands, Elliot finally had the house to himself.


    In the midst of the deafening silence, Elliot could feel his heart racing in his chest.


    Elliot could not help but look at the rubbish bin in the garden.


    After a slight pause, Elliot gestured for the bodyguard to follow him as both of them slowly approached


    the rubbish bin in the garden.


    "Mr. Foster, is this rubbish bin here too smelly? Should I move it elsewhere?" asked the bodyguard.


    Elliot could feel his throat go dry as he said, "Open it."


    "But it would get really smelly," said the bodyguard.


    "Open it!" said Elliot.


    "Okay, fine. But could you at least tell me why are you so concerned about a rubbish bin? That way, I


    might be able to help..."


    Elliot had never seen a bodyguard that talked so much.
