"Ruby, I remember your words. You said that you would work hard to provide a good life for your family."


    "Now, your family is leading a better life than others. They live in a vi."


    Aleigha''s faint smile didn''t reach the bottom of her eyes, and there was a touch of coldness.


    "Miss Gardner, excuse me? No. I don''t know."


    Ruby''s heart was pounding lunatically, and she could not calm down at all.


    "You don''t know? Enormous sums of money flowed into your bank ount from time to time, and you transferred them to another ount quickly."


    "You have nothing in your name, but your family owns limos and vis."


    "Don''t try to fool me."


    Aleigha did some investigation on Ruby, besides what Mill told her.


    Out of question, Ruby betrayed her long ago.


    "Miss Gardner, you promised those money from


    Leona."


    "That''s all I get, and there is nothing else."


    Ruby trembled slightly. She braced herself up now and responded quickly.


    "Is that so? I made a mistake? Well, let''s hear what your family said."


    Aleigha produced a video in which the Forsters bragged about what Ruby had done to their neighbors.


    Ruby felt desperate and needed some time to collect herself.


    "Miss Gardner. There is some misunderstanding. I didn''t help Leona. I, I was just greedy."


    "How dare you!"


    Aleigha banged the desk and threw a stack of documents at Ruby.


    "Mypany lost several projects in thepetition with Leona."


    "Last month, Lennon got that German project at the critical moment."


    "I dare you to say that you are innocent!"


    "Well, you won''t shed a tear until you see the coffin. I will satisfy you."


    Then, Aleigha took out a small jewelry box from the drawer and the gold ring in it.


    "You got this ring from Leona, didn''t you? She told you to take it to me." "She said it belonged to Samantha, didn''t she?"


    "But you know what, it is a legacy from my mother. And I put it in her cinerary casket after she died."


    "Leona was trying to tell me that she didn''t spare my mother''s cremains."


    In the past few days, Aleigha pretended well. She didn''t even mention a word before Adrian.


    She did this to convince Ruby and make both Leona and Samantha to pay a price.


    "No, I don''t know. I really don''t know." Ruby was in a panic.


    Large tears fell down like beads.


    She would never present that ring to Aleigha only if she knew the story behind it.


    "You don''t know! Damn it! You don''t know what you are doing! You are helping Leona to go against me!"


    "What will you say now?"


    Shaking her head, Ruby cried so hard that she couldn''t utter a word.


    "Take her away. I don''t want to see her again."


    Aleigha waved her hand with agitation. She sat on the chair after Mill led Ruby away.


    "Aleigha, why didn''t you tell me?"


    Adrian looked at Aleigha with sorrow. He felt angry for Aleigha, and his tone was a bit harsh.


    "You will take action immediately if I tell you."


    "However, calmness is critical at a


    moment like this. I need an


    borate n to defeat themel


    for all."


    "I want Leona and Samantha to suffer more than death, which is too light a punishment for them."


    "I''m worried about you. For your sake, you can''t get angry now."


    Adrian took Aleigha''s hand and kissed it tenderly.


    "What doesn''t kill me makes me stronger."


    "Don''t worry, I will take good care of myself. You should have confidence in me."


    Adrian didn''t say anything and felt helpless.


    He was thinking if it was right for

    Later, Mill brought them a piece of good news.


    Next Monday, a Germanpany would

    Several bidders for this cooperation would disy their designs in this event.


    And Adrian''spany was one of those bidders.


    Aleigha was in charge of this project. So Ruby leaked what she knew about this project to Leona.


    Leona was preparing to defeat Aleigha and get the cooperation.


    Ruby, freaked out, confessed to Mill atst.


    And she proposed to redeem sins by good deeds, offering to help Aleigha.


    Aleigha spent half an hour thinking about what Mill said. Then, she called Ruby to ept the cooperation.


    It was a gamble, and she bet on the humanity of Ruby.


    The next morning, Aleigha already had a full n.


    She would like to enjoy the process of defeating Leona.


    Ruby was shown in Aleigha''s office again. She looked haggard overnight.


    Mill was a robust but thoughtful young man. The Woods family already lost power and influence.


    However, to realize his father''s desire, he helped the Woods family and Aleigha.


    He felt nothing, not even sympathy, to people like Ruby.


    He took her into the office and pushed her down to the ground rudely.


    Ruby struggled to get to her feet, lowered her head, and said nothing.


    "Think it over. I will give you onest chance, and there will none in the future."


    "I made up my mind. Miss Gardner. I will try my best. Please let me live on."


    "I.."


    "Don''t say that you love your family. You disgrace love with greed."


    "You are not helping me. You do it for your own sake. I promise to let you live on, and that is all."


    Aleigha squinted at Ruby and said coldly.


    "I know, Miss Gardner. I''ll try my best to get it done."


    Ruby knew what her fate would be if she was in the hand of Adrian.


    What was more, Aleigha wouldn''t spare her if Ruby sat by.


    "Don''t try. You must get it done."


    Aleigha wouldn''t ept any idents in her n. She knew Leona well. That woman was a smarty pant, and Aleigha had her way to defeat her.
