《Omnipotent Mrs. Finn》 Chapter 1 The Engagement Chapter 1 The Engagement In the hospital, Ruby Harold was sitting on the bench in the hallway, looking at the two aggressive men in front of her, ¡° You want me to marry into the Finn family, and that¡¯s fine. But you have to give back my mother¡¯s possessions¡­¡± ¡°What?! Do you think you are eligible to pose a condition to me, Rube?¡± the woman interrupted her with a shrill voice. Ruby turned to look at her stepmother, Susan Shaw, who had driven her mother to death, reced her as Mrs.Harold. She sent her and her grandma abroad, and then left them without any further support. After more than ten years since she was sent abroad, her stepmother came to her abruptly and urged her to go back and marry into the Finn family. Ruby tried her utmost to restrain the hatred to her as she pushed her sses up, ¡°Now it¡¯s you asking for a favor. If you think it is uneptable, just go away.¡± Susan was annoyed, ¡°It¡¯s your honor to marry into such a noble family! Besides, the engagement was made by your dead mother at the very beginning!¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Ruby nodded while asked rhetorically, ¡°But does the engagement still be recognized by the Finn family?¡± Her question embarrassed the woman, who didn¡¯t answer but turned to look at a middle aged man, Spencer. ¡°Ruby, they always keep their promise! How could they reject you after making the engagement?¡± Spencer broke the silence in an abnormal tone of tender. ¡°Dad, I hear that Levi has to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life due to his leg problems. Besides, it¡¯s almost impossible for him to be the heir of his family,¡± she interrupted him. Then, she nced at them and said aggrievedly, ¡°I know the Finn family doesn¡¯t want to see Levi dies without issue, so they offer generous rewards to the woman who can give birth to his heir.¡± ¡°I guess my dear stepmother must be so eager to build a rtionship with the Finn family but unwilling to let my little sister Rita marry a cripple, so youe to find me as the alternative.¡± Spencer turned scarlet from embarrassment but still trying to excuse it, ¡°Your mother and Hattie were good friends back in the day!¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Ruby said, ¡°If Levi wasn¡¯t crippled, you would have asked Rita to marry him.¡± Since his real intention was seen through by her, Spencer got irritated for the shame, ¡°Watch your tongue, Ruby!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste your breath, Spencer,¡± Susan spoke up, ¡°she has no idea about how lucky she is to marry Levi!¡± ¡°Now that you know how lucky it is, leave it to Rita. I¡¯m pretty sure she won¡¯t let you down.¡± The engagement didn¡¯t really matter to her. After all, it wasn¡¯t the only way to get back her mother¡¯s legacy. Rudy stood up immediately and was about to walk away. But Spencer stopped her hurriedly. He gritted his teeth as if he had made a tough decision, ¡°Well, I¡¯m not that sure how many stuffs your mother left. You know, I can¡¯t remember everything so clearly after so many years now. I have to make it clear.¡± He tried to act like a loving father, but she didn¡¯t bite at the bait at all. ¡°I am not negotiating with you. I¡¯m informing you.¡± ¡°The door is over there, you guys can get out of here now,¡± she said straightly. Spencer blurted out with his teeth gnashed, ¡°Fine! I promise you! But you have to marry Levi! You have one day to pack your stuffs and then back with us!¡± Such a hurry. As if he was afraid that she would break the deal if he hesitated. Ruby restrained herself from mocking him but made a bright smile instead. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Done! Thank you, dad! You are so generous!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 2 Open The Door! Chapter 2 Open The Door! A dayter, Ruby went to the airport carrying a suitcase and took the earliest flight. When she went back to her mothend, it was already at night. So she checked in the Hilton and waited for the arrangement of the Harolds in the suite. The jagg made her feel so fatigued, and then she slowly fell asleep on the bed. Before she lost consciousness, she heard some faint sounds of footstepsing from somewhere in the room. And then¡­ Hearing a snap all of a sudden, she opened her eyes quickly and became alert, reaching for something This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. under her pillow¡­ The next second, someone raised the quilt and got on the bed, and Ruby pushed him with her hand instinctively. However, her arm was grabbed by a cold hand and got pressed on her neck. ¡°Don¡¯t move, or I will kill you immediately,¡± the man said coldly. Ruby was frightened. Her body was rigid with fear, but she could smell something she was familiar with in these years. It was blood. This guy was wounded. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I need to hide,¡± the manmanded. Hide here? Ruby frowned. This was a suite, not a sanctuary! She grabbed the pen under the pillow and stabbed him in his neck under the moonlight. But before she could make it, somebody was knocking at the door hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m FBI officer, open the door!¡± Given the emergency, she withdrew her hand quickly. FBI? More like an illegal operation. Even though in this situation, the man made a further demand to her, ¡°Don¡¯t you open the door if you don¡¯t want to die.¡± Ruby smiled coldly, ¡°Why should I listen to you?¡± Hearing this, Levi Finn frowned. He lowered his head and made eye contact with Ruby identally. Under the moonlight, she saw a pair of deep cold eyes, which made her feel familiar¡­ And because of this, she hesitated. The man seized the chance and grasped Ruby¡¯s other arm. Because of his sudden move, the pen was forced to be released and fell off from her hand. ¡°You have no choice right now,¡± the man said faintly and breathe quickly, indicating that he was suffering from acute pain. While the man outside was knocking the door heavily like he could break into the room very soon. Levi ripped off her clothes quickly andmanded, ¡°Moan!¡± Moan? Though Ruby was still young and pure, she knew what kind of ¡®moan¡¯ he was asking her to make.She blushed in a sudden. His hunky body was in close contact with her, barely naked, and although he was trying to prop up himself, it was still unavoidable for skin contact. How could he urge her to moan under this circumstance? What a jackass! She gritted her teeth with her hand going downwards, and suddenly stabbed her finger at his leg, right on the wound. Chapter 3 A Silver Tongue Chapter 3 A Silver Tongue The sudden pain made him loosen the control on her for a moment. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Ruby took the chance and pressed him down immediately. Levi didn¡¯t expect this. The girl got him so easily that she made him unable to move only by pressing his shoulder. He was so weak now. Ruby looked down at him, while the wound in his leg was still bleeding. However, the bleeding was stopped significantly thanks to her pressing the wound with her finger. ¡°I prefer you moaning rather than I, sir,¡± Ruby smiled, trying to take a good look at his face under the moonlight. But the door was kicked open with a bang. The man flipped over his body and pressed her down immediately, and kissed her with his cold lips. She was surprised by him and groaned. Soon, the man started moving and pretend like he was having sex with her. Ruby tried to knee him hurriedly but was stopped by him, ¡°If you don¡¯t cooperate with me, I have to do this for real.¡± His breath was so close to be felt, reminding her of something horrible in her memory. As she lost the chance to suppress him, and was terrified by the trauma came from her memory, she could no longer stop him anymore. She felt pain all of a sudden and saw him take a bite at her shoulder, so she groaned and scratched his back in return. Meanwhile, the lights were on. Seeing the broad back of the man and the exposed body of the girl who was flushed on the bed, the man in ck moved back to the entrance of the room embarrassingly before they could see the face of the man. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry about this, mister and madam. Please show me your identification.¡± But the man just threw a vase to him and yelled, ¡°Who the hell are you? Get out!¡± The searchers apologized and left the room, frightened. Ruby could hear what they were talking outside, ¡°He¡¯s not here!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The door was shut down and the room became silent once again. She didn¡¯t hesitate to attack him with all she got, but he had expected this and defended against her attack easily. ¡°Who are you? Who sends you here?¡± he tried to grasp her wrist but missed. ¡°I¡¯m the one who is supposed to ask you the questions,¡± she stepped back and stared at him cautiously. Nobody knew she was back in the country except Dr. Moore. This man¡¯s fighting skills made her feel familiar and dangerous. The man was surprised and said coldly, ¡°If you really don¡¯t know who I am, you should have asked for help.¡± Let alone her skills, the fact that she could handle this kind of situation in calm had already made him feel she was not an ordinary woman. ¡°I just don¡¯t want to cause any trouble. Besides, I¡¯m the one who just saved you. Why are you questioning me?¡± She didn¡¯t care about who he was at all, she just never started a feud. But the premise was, he was not offending her. Ruby had been living a peaceful life abroad for 5 years with this principle. If she hadn¡¯t heard the news she was concerned about, she wouldn¡¯t take the proposal of the Harolds so easily. If it was her only purpose to take back her mother¡¯s possessions, she had more aggressive methods to achieve the goal. Levi licked his lip and said, ¡°You really have a silver tongue. I regret that I didn¡¯t take the chance to taste it just now.¡± Chapter 4 The Same Trick Chapter 4 The Same Trick When he was speaking to her, his hand had reached her body. Ruby kicked him immediately. When he was dodging her kick, his wound was grazed. This annoyed him immediately. He stepped forward and pushed Ruby hard against the wall regardless of his bleeding wound. Then, he grabbed her arms in one hand and put them over her head. ¡°You''re trying to use the same trick, huh?¡± Ruby struggled for a while, but it was in vain. A trace of hormone she sniffed from the man above her was mixed with the smell of blood, which made her feel he was getting more wild and evil. He looked at Ruby like viewing his prey, touching her ear slightly with his nose. His warm breath spread on her neck, making her face flush. She raised her leg and tried to kick him back, but he had anticipated this and pressed her against the wall. Now that she was in a shameful pose with her long leg raised up, her face was redder than before, ¡°Let go of me, you bastard!¡± Many years ago, she was raped by someone in such a pose. At that time, the man bumped her so cruelly that she could only feel heavy pain and helplessness. The sense of humiliation rushed into her mind and made her spasm. Levi was surprised by her reaction and the next second he touched something wet on her face. She¡­cried? At first, he just intended to scare this arrogant girl, but he didn¡¯t know she would cry so easily. So he released her and put a nket on her shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t tell anyone about anything that happened in this room.¡± Ruby huddled under the nket and shivered like a poor puppy. Levi remained silent for a while and left. Making sure that there was no other person in the room, Ruby stood up slowly and opened her hand. It was a white jade lying in her hand. The jade was so nicely polished and craved that the cost of hand-finishing must be higher than the jade itself. However, this piece of jade was not supposed to match such an borate craft. It could be told that it meant a lot to its owner. Ruby raised her lips and smiled. Sometimes, even the preditor couldn¡¯t know how cunning a prey could be. Meanwhile, in the house of the Finn family. A lot of used bandages were put on the tray and the pungent smell of the disinfectant spread all over the sickbay. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. A man was sitting in the office chair with two doctors closing his wounds in the leg with stitches. The buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing his tanned and muscr chest. The nurse around him said worriedly ¡°Mr. Finn, you need to have an injection of local anesthetic¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t need it¡± someone said in a teasing tone. A man with fair skin and a beautiful appearance was walking to him at a brisk pace. Seeing his wounds, even such a rakish man couldn¡¯t help but take out the handkerchief from his suit and cover his nose and mouth, ¡°You sure you don¡¯t need a local anesthetic with that deep wound?¡± Levi opened his eyes slowly and nced at him in scorn, ¡°Just a scratch.¡± Chapter 5 Who Else is Gonna Be? Chapter 5 Who Else is Gonna Be? Just a scratch? He was asked to here at such ate night by Levi and watched the doctors treating his bloody wounds. Thanks to his solid status built up in these years, otherwise his injury must be gossiped in the EastGarden. The man didn¡¯t ask how he got the wounds, but grumbled, ¡°These guys really want to kill you! They didn¡¯t show any mercy to you!¡± Levi smiled coldly, ¡°Mercy? It¡¯ll never happen to the Finn family.¡± Since he was five, he had witnessed numerous idents all these years. And it was at the age of five, he saw his mother leaped to her own death, and then another woman walked into his home a monthter. At that time, he didn¡¯t know why the people around him treated him differently, until he saw the people from his grandfather¡¯s family. And it was at that time, he started to realize that howplex the situation was in his family. As he grew older, he found that the things he knew about his family were only the tip of the iceberg. The Finns, the wealthy and influential family in the city, was covered with dirty things. Here, kinship was nothing but a joke. The only things that mattered were interests and the incidental, endless fights never ceased to happen. Levi couldn¡¯t remember that how many times he had been the target of an assassination. But every time he just treated the wounds in here and left like nothing happened. They didn¡¯t kill him in the car identst time, so they found a woman to spy on him this time with the excuse of looking after him. He had gotten familiar with this kind of scheme for a long time. He also knew that affection was the most meaningless thing in the marriage of his family, since they never marry someone because of love. ¡°I heard that they started to suspect you. Are you going to keep pretending to be a cripple until you die?¡± the man said. Pretending to be a cripple? ¡°I¡¯m a real cripple now. Do you want to check my leg?¡± Levi said indifferently. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± the man shrugged and leaned on the wall, watching the doctors warping up his wounds with bandages. ¡°Levi, someone told me that the girl returned now,¡± the man frowned. Levi stubbed out his cigarette, ¡°the girl from the Harolds?¡± ¡°Who else is gonna be? In the view of the Harolds, even a cripple is a good choice to them,¡± he said with an expression of scorn. Obviously, he had been investigating the Harold family for a while. ¡°She was sent abroad at a very young age. Though she looks pretty sophisticated, I think she is probably an ignoramus considering her father. She had never been in school when she was abroad, and my man who was responsible for following her reported that she was using an expensiveptop¡­¡± He continued, ¡°How can a girl without ie afford such an expensiveptop? His father never gives ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. a cent to her.¡± After hearing him talking so much about her, Levi knew he just trying to tell him that this girl from the Harolds was nothing but a material girl just like his family members.¡± Well, girls, he did meet a distinguished one tonight. She was swift and unruly like a wild cat, evoking his desire to conquer her. He hadn¡¯t had this kind of feeling for a long time, but it really wasn¡¯t the time to meet her¡­ ¡°What are you thinking?¡± His words drew Levi back from the recall so that he had to keep hearing him chattering. ¡°That¡¯s why you need to be careful. Maybe she will be bribed by those from EastGarden,¡± the man paused for a minute and continued, ¡°Besides¡­ If you decide to marry her, what about Amelia?¡± Chapter 6 Where is Your Pendant? Chapter 6 Where is Your Pendant? Amelia¡­ Levi lost in thought. Every time he thought of her lovely face, he would have aplex feeling in his Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. mind. Every time he faced Amelia Moore, he couldn¡¯t calm himself down. ¡°Jare, I have no choice,¡± Levi required the medical team to leave the room and sit in the wheelchair, ¡°Only when all the potential risks are removed can I give Amelia a peaceful future.¡± Before that, he could only live with lies. Jared sighed and said helplessly, ¡°I will try my best to hide the truth from her. But if she knows it one day¡­¡± ¡°Then I will take care of her.¡± Jared nced at his chest and frowned, ¡°Where is your pendant?¡± ¡­ Ruby couldn¡¯t fall asleep all night. When she was abroad with her grandma at the beginning, she was just 18. To earn her living, she went to sell beers in the bar and was targeted by a group of drunken hooligans. Before she could run away from them, she fell down to the ground, but she didn¡¯t give up. She stumbled to a man who looked decent and asked for help, but it turned out that he was not better than those hooligans. He just pulled her against the wall and kissed her, bumping her so hard that she cried due to the pain. The man kept apologizing to her, wiped her tears from her face, and said in panting, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I will be responsible for this¡­ Just remember to find me¡­¡± He raped her. And after he finished, he put a cheque into her pocket. But Ruby was so painful and exhausted that she couldn¡¯t speak anything to him. She struggled to leave this ce as soon as possible and then passed out near the hospital. When she woke up, it was three dayster. In these three days, the doctor contacted her grandma and cashed the cheque. What happened couldn¡¯t be changed now. She had to lie to her grandma that she had met some robbers, and her grandma believed it. But only Ruby knew, that her life was going to be different from now on. She got into medical school with the money. She was so talented that she skipped grades for many times. In her twenties, she had been a medical doctor, but she still pretended to be naive and innocent in front of everyone, until she received an email¡­ Leaving the hotel, Ruby sit in the car indifferently and saw the sun shined on the crowded street. She loved the bustle of her hometown. It was so real and nice at least. When Ruby was having her moment, her phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw a message, ¡°Miss. Harold, Dr. Moore has got everything ready. Do you need anything else?¡± Ruby nced at the street and replied, ¡°I want a quiet ce to live.¡± ¡°OK! Please feel free to tell me anything you need at any time!¡± The driver of the car couldn¡¯t help but peek at her. She was sitting in the backseat without saying a word and wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. ¡°No wonder she was sent abroad by her family without support. White shirts and jeans, she must live a tough life there!¡± the driver thought. Thinking about the order from ¡®that person¡¯, he braked the car slowly. Chapter 7 Show the Strength Chapter 7 Show the Strength ¡°Are we arrived?¡± Ruby asked when she noticed the car was stopped. ¡°Given the traffic jam, I suggest you get off the car now and walk to the destination,¡± the driver said. Ruby raised her head and saw only a few cars on the road. You called this a traffic jam¡­ ¡°Fine,¡± Ruby didn¡¯t want to argue with him and got off the car. And the driver neither helped her open the door nor said goodbye to her like he didn¡¯t give a shit about Ruby, until she went to talk to him by the window. ¡°Mr¡­Lee?¡± Ruby took a look at his name tag, which made the driver start to feel stressed. ¡°Can I help you?¡± he covered his name tag quickly. Thinking about his master, it was his only way to keep the job. ¡°No, I¡¯m fine,¡± Ruby smiled slightly and patted his shoulder, ¡°Keep up the good work.¡± She came to him suddenly and left quietly. Ruby had walked away before the driver noticed. The driver swore at her quietly and was about to drive away. But before he could get on the road, the car lost control and hit the greenbelt nearby. Seeing the driver was yelling for help in the driving seat, she snorted and walked away. Nobody knew that she just put some silver needles back in her bag. She knew there was something wrong with the driver when he was treating her like nobody. But she didn¡¯t want to think too much about it and took a taxi to the shopping mall. Since she was using Spencer¡¯s credit card, she put everything she wanted into the cart without looking at the price tag, until Spencer was calling her on the phone. Picking jewelry at the counter, she took the call and felt the restrained anger of Spencer. ¡°Ruby, why are you buying so many expensive things¡ª¡± ¡°Really? I hear that Rita¡¯s Hermes handbag was paid for by your credit card.¡± ¡°Ruby, why are you so rude? Where did you learn it¡ª¡± ¡°I hear that you paid for Rita¡¯s car too¡± ¡°Ruby, you can get everything you want when you marry into the Finn family. Can you just save some money for me?!¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°The Finn family will look down upon family if so, you know?¡± Spencer was speechless. She really hit his weak point. And she was really good at this. She was appreciating the bracelet she was trying on. The novel design and delicate craving left a good impression on her. ¡°You can¡¯t show the strength of our family without maxing out your credit card, right, dad?¡± Ruby said at ease. Spencer felt like he was being scammed, but after weighing his options, he had no choice but said, ¡°Fine, take it.¡± ¡°Thanks, dad.¡± Then, she wore the matched ring and swiped the credit card. When she was about to leave, a message popped up on her phone, ¡°Miss Harold, someone is following you. Do you want us to deal with them?¡± Ruby turned her head slightly and saw some sneaky men were walking behind her. She didn¡¯t put them in mind and replied, ¡°No. I can settle it.¡± She thought there would be some new trick, but it turned out to be the old one. Chapter 8 My Master Wants to See You Chapter 8 My Master Wants to See You When Ruby walked to a back street, one of the bludgers couldn¡¯t help but approach her, ¡°Where are you going, chick?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s cut the crap. Who sent you here? What do you want?¡± Ruby raised her head and looked at him, ¡°Or, what kind of a message does your boss want to leave me?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Nobody knew what was going on. He was only osting her! The bludger had no idea about how to reply to her. Since she had something important to do, she took a look at the watch and said, ¡°So you want to have a one-on-one? It¡¯s also fine for me to fight against all of you at the same time.¡± It was the first time for them to hear such a proposal. ¡°What do you mean? Do you mean we can¡¯t even defeat a little girl?¡± the bludger was irritated, ¡°I¡¯m going to teach her a¡­Ahh!¡± His torturous scream echoed in the back street, andter, more screams came out. More and more people were gathering around to see what happened. Soon, the police arrived and brought them and Ruby back to the police office. In the interrogation room, Ruby was sitting on the chair quietly. ¡°What happened down there?¡± the policeman said. ¡°They tried to sexually harass me,¡± she said coldly and nced at the bludgers, who were frightened by her nce at the corner. ¡°Does she look like she was harassed?¡± they said. The policeman looked at Ruby who was nice and clean and then turned to look at the muddy bludgers. ¡°Why are they covered with dust and mud?¡± he frowned. Ruby shrugged and said, ¡°They got what they deserved.¡± ¡°Help us, policeman! This woman is a god damn lunatic!¡± ¡°Shut up and be quiet!¡± ¡°If we have done something wrong, please punish us by thew, not by this madman!¡± they cried. But the policeman only nced at them scornfully. While Ruby was ying with her phone carelessly like it was none of her business. ¡°Miss¡ª¡± ¡°I was only acting in self-defense. You can check the security footage.¡± Ruby stood up slowly. ¡°Can I leave now?¡± ¡°Sure, we will check it. Please leave your contact details here before you leave so that we can inform you when it¡¯s needed.¡± Ruby nodded, wrote down her contact details, and left. When she walked out of the police station and moved on, someone blocked her path right in front of her. She raised her head and saw a strong man in ck. ¡°My master wants to see you,¡± he said coldly.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Ruby nced at him and walked past him without paying attention, ¡°Tell him I¡¯m busy.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After she walked past him, she hit the firm chest of another man. Raising her head to take a look at the man in front of her, she was stunning and felt like her body was frozen. It was him! Chapter 9 Playing the Fool Chapter 9 ying the Fool ¡°Surprise, huh?¡± Levi lit up a cigarette and blew the smoke to her delicate face. That night, he ran away so hurriedly that he forgot to take a good look at her face. This time, she didn¡¯t tie up her long hair or wear the sses. Her long, thin eyshes were flutter like a butterfly on her bright eyes and fare face. Ruby stepped back and said, ¡°I have no idea what you are talking about, sir.¡± Given that he could locate her and block her way in such a short time, she felt that he was not easy to deal with. He looked down at Ruby and said meaningfully, ¡°How dare you take away my thing?¡± This is from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No, I have never taken anything from you.¡± She denied, and saw more than five bodyguards from the corner of her eyes. Like he had already known what she was thinking, he walked up to her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t even try to slip away. Either you give my thing back to me, or I take you with me.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know what¡­Ahh!¡± He grabbed her wrist and put her into the backseat of the car with himself. The doors were locked, and the driver started the engine. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± she said in a wobbly voice like a frightened rabbit. Levi smiled coldly and approached her, ¡°You think you can fool me?¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know what are you talking about!¡± He pinched her jaw and spoke in a fierce whisper, ¡°Still trying to y the fool? So, you don¡¯t intend to give it back to me, do you? I guess I have to take you now?¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Ruby was convinced that he was definitely not easy to deal with. She raised her head and looked into his eyes coldly, ¡°Are you trying to hurt me? Do you know who I am? I¡¯m the daughter of the Harold family and the fiancee of Mr. Finn. If you hurt me, the Harolds and the Finns won¡¯t leave you alone!¡± Looking at her arrogant face, Levi squinted and smiled, ¡°The fiancee of¡­ Mr. Finn?¡± ¡°What? Are you scared? Release me right now or you wille to a sticky end!¡± Ruby thought he was scared and felt even more arrogant. Levi burst intoughs and said, ¡°Yeah, really.¡± He was so ¡®scared¡¯ that he couldn¡¯t help butugh. Ruby closed her lips and looked disappointed. Of course, the Harolds and the Finns wouldn¡¯t scare a man who had the guts to kidnap her in broad daylight. Chapter 10 Playing the Fool Chapter 10 ying the Fool ¡°What about the thingsst night? I helped you to get away with those people and that¡¯s how you are going to repay me?¡± Ruby was a little bit worried but still pretending to be calm like she wasn¡¯t even afraid of him. She had ced a silver needle in between her fingers. Once he was going to do something bad to her, she would let him regret it right away. ¡°Oh? So, how do you want me to repay you?¡± Levi took a look at her fingers and smiles scornfully. Ruby forced herself to look at Levi and said, ¡°If you are grateful to me, you should release me right now¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, she was astonished. The man approached her all of a sudden. Ruby tried to move back instinctively, but Levi held the back of her head and pushed it towards him. She felt numb with shock at that moment. The face of Levi was so close to her that his warm breaths were blowing by her ear. His hand moved down slowly to her neck and clenched slightly. Levi was appreciating this like a hunter appreciating his prey, ¡°Your neck was so thin¡­¡± ¡­That he could break it easily. Ruby opened her eyes widely out of fear and surprise. She left her weak spot open to him! That was a silly mistake she had never done before! While Ruby was thinking about making a suicide attack with the silver needle, Levi said, ¡°If you really don¡¯t want to give it back to me, that¡¯s fine. But the pendant is the love token I¡¯m going to give my fianc¨¦e. Now that you want to keep it, does it mean that you want to marry me?¡± Ruby broke out into cold sweat after hearing his words. Levi touched the sweat on her neck and smiled, ¡°Are you afraid?¡± With her idea being disclosed, she pushed Levi away and said coldly, ¡°Shameless!¡± ¡°It sounds disgraceful to let you betray Mr. Finn and marry me, but¡­¡± Levi said. ¡°I love doing this,¡± he smiled. ¡°Can you prove that I¡¯m the one who took your pendant?¡± Ruby believed that he had no evidence about it, ¡°Maybe you lost it the way you were being hunted down, and that was not my fault.¡± Seeing him hesitating, Ruby knew she made the right choice. He couldn¡¯t prove that. So, she even felt more wronged with the rims of her eyes turning red, ¡°I was so kind to help youst night but now you are kidnapping me in return and ming me for something I had never done. You can¡¯t bully me just because Ie back from abroad not long ago!¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. After hearing this, Levi stopped hesitating and smiled, ¡°You almost got me fooled.¡± Before he could say something, a message wasing through his earphone, ¡°Sir, the men from the Finn family areing to us. They are going to crash into our car.¡± The men from the Finn family? Levi gave the order decisively, ¡°Stop the car.¡± The driver hurriedly parked the car by the roadside. Levi adjusted his sitting gesture and moved away his sight at her, ¡°I don¡¯t know whether you took my pendant or not, but you better not let me find any evidence about it. Get out of the car.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ruby got off the car and saw the car leave the ce quickly. She frowned and felt weird about his behavior. Did he really afraid of the men from the Finn family? Chapter 11 Does It Look Good? Chapter 11 Does It Look Good? The Finn family was the greatest family in the city. No matter how tough that man was, he wouldn¡¯t dare to go against the Finns. Soon, a motorcade consisting of luxury cars appeared in her sight. She knew it was the Finn family Because The Finn family and the Harold family were going to discuss the affairs about the marriage today. And the men from the Finn family were on their way to the house of the Harolds. Watching the expensive ornaments on her hand, Ruby made a cold smile. Maybe she should buy more to help Spencer ¡®show his economic strength¡¯. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. So, she got into a taxi and began another round of purchasing in the mall before she went back home. When she finally arrived home, she saw a lot of luxury cars were parked in the yard with a lot of bodyguards standing around. It looked like she got a lot of things to do today. Spencer was chatting with Hattie and smiling happily. Though the messages of payment records kept notifying him, he didn¡¯t care about it. After all, it was worth it to make the Finn family his ally! In the hall of the mansion, Hattie was wearing a white long dress with luxury decorations and felt a little bit impatient. ¡°When will Rubye back, Mr. Harold?¡± Seeing Hattie get angry, Spencer felt embarrassed and started to worry that Ruby might ruin his alliance with the Finn family. He wiped the sweats in his head and said, ¡°Ruby will be here very soon. She just told me that she was buying presents for you. So maybe she just met a traffic jam and couldn¡¯te back in time.¡± ¡°Yeah. Ruby has always been a considerable girl,¡± Susan followed him and made thepliance. Hattie just smiled coldly with scorn in her eyes. Everybody knew Ruby was an ipetent who was sent abroad at a young age and never behaved herself. But on the other hand, that was why she became the best candidate to marry Levi. ¡°I see. Maybe we should take it easy and give her more time. I can wait,¡± Hattie raised the cup and took a sip of tea. Susan and Spencer looked at each other, having no idea about what she was thinking. At this time, they heard some noisesing from the gate. Spencer turned around and saw her walking into the house. She was wearing a casual white shirt and blue jeans, standing straight in the hallway with a pair of bright eyes and a warm smile. Spencer looked at her surprisingly, recalling the memory of her mother in youth. But soon he stopped thinking about the good old days after he saw the heavy gold chain and multiple bracelets she was wearing. Spencer shouted in rage, ¡°Ruby Harold!¡± ¡°Dad, does it look good?¡± she raised her arms with several bracelets proudly. Chapter 12 Demean Yourself Chapter 12 Demean Yourself Spencer held his chest painfully. Hattie nced at Ruby and made a disdainful look at the beginning. But soon she was satisfied. If Levi had such a vulgar and stupid woman as his wife, he would no longer be a threat to her son! ¡°You must be Ruby,¡± Hattie said warmly. Ruby smiled and replied in a rude manner, ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m the young master of the Harold family, Ruby Harold. Who are you? And why is this old woman in my house?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Ruby Harold!¡± Spencer was so angry that he wanted to p her face immediately. How could she still act like a troublemaker at such a critical moment! How could she be so arrogant to Hattie! What if Hattie was irritated and then canceled the engagement! ¡°Enough, Ruby! This is Hattie and you should greet her!¡± Susan stepped forward hurriedly and apologized to Hattie, ¡°I¡¯m so sorry. Ruby grew up abroad and got used to being unrestrained. Please don¡¯t put it in mind. I¡¯m sure that I will teach her a lessonter.¡± ¡°Apologize, Ruby. Hurry!¡± Susan couldn¡¯t hold her anger when she saw Ruby was still standing there and did nothing. ¡°What makes you think you can give orders to me?¡± Ruby didn¡¯t even care about Susan. Right at once, Susan burst into anger. But she couldn¡¯t lose his temper right in front of Hattie, so she had to hold it back and cursed Ruby silently. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. However, the more rude Ruby was, the more satisfied Hattie felt. She was as terrible as the rumor said. Besides, she looked like a seductive girl who was unlikely to be loyal to her husband. What would happen if she has a cripple as her husband? Maybe the scandal about her having an affair would be posted in the newspaper a few days after the wedding ceremony. And then, Levi would be the standing joke in the city. ¡°That¡¯s fine, Mrs. Harold. She is still young after all, you should give her some time. Maybe we should talk about something else,¡± Hattie was so content that she hoped Ruby could marry Levi immediately. She looked at Ruby smilingly and spoke up for her. Ruby just took a nce at Hattie. How could she stand this? ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Hattie. We didn¡¯t teach her properly,¡± Susan sighed sadly. ¡°Take a seat, Ruby. Let¡¯s talk about the engagement between you and Levi,¡± Hattie didn¡¯t care about Susan but spoke to Ruby kindly, which made Susan feel embarrassed. ¡°Mr. Finn wants to get things done as soon as possible, so I hope we can finish the preparations this month and make sure the wedding ceremony will be held next month. Is that all right?¡± Hattie was trying so hard to restrain her joy as she pretended to be calm. ¡°Next month?¡± Spencer didn¡¯t expect that things would go on so well, even though she could ept Ruby¡¯s rudeness. He was thrilled. If they were engaged, the Harold family would benefit a lot and could be influential with a favor of the Finns in the city! ¡°We are fine with that arrangement,¡± he epted her proposal without hesitating, as if he wanted to arrange the date of marriage as soon as possible. Ruby couldn¡¯t help but take a peep at Hattie. She had been trying so hard to demean herself. How could she still ept their marriage? And confirm the date with them in such a hurry? Was she a stepmother, too? Chapter 13 Not Familiar With You Chapter 13 Not Familiar With You But whether Hattie was his natural mother or stepmother was none of her business. No matter she married him or not, her n would still move on. It was a good idea to have him as her husband since a cripple was less likely to impede her n. But if he did interfere with her business¡­ Ruby squinted her eyes and licked the corner of her mouth carelessly. ¡­ When Hattie was passionate about discussing the affairs about the wedding ceremony, Ruby felt bored about the conversation and kept yawning. ¡°So, ording to the schedule, we will pick her up at your house at 9 am on the 8th of next month. We will prepared a decent marriage for her and all the details of the ceremony will be scheduled based on the traditions.¡± As she noticed Ruby sitting in a improper posture, Mrs.Finn smiled in satisfaction. She confirmed the arrangement in detail with Spencer and then asked her servant to bring in the gifts before saying goodbye to the Harolds. ¡°These are antiques, right? How generous the Finn family is!¡± These antiques, paintings, and jewelry seemed so valuable. It seemed like the Finn family cared much about the marriage indeed. Sitting on the sofa, Ruby blurted out to remind Susan as she put on a greedy look at those gifts, ¡°Be careful when you are touching these things, Susan. If you break it, you are going topensate me for it.¡± ¡°Compensate you?¡± Susan red at her. ¡°These are the gifts they give to me, so I¡¯m going to take these with me when I marry into the Finn family. What will they think if they find you appropriating all these stuff? They must reckon that you guys are so poor,¡± Ruby smiled and gave the remark on them. But Susan couldn¡¯t ept that! These treasures were worth over a million dors! Why did she have to leave them to Ruby! ¡°Stop! What are you thinking? Just put these things into the room upstairs and give them to Ruby when she gets married,¡± Spencer nced at Susan disdainfully. She was pursuing short-term interests while ignoring the long-term profits from the alliance with the Finn family. What a superficial woman! Susan ordered the servants to put the things upstairs unwillingly. Ruby smiled coldly. ¡°Ruby!¡± When Ruby felt bored and prepared to leave, she caught a whiff of perfume and heard a sweet voice ¡°Hello, my dear sister! How¡¯s your life in France? I heard that there was a lot of crime in the country you had been living in, especially rapes. For a pretty girl like you¡­¡± Rita stared at her attractive face enviously and felt unfair. She was the firstborn of the family after all. How could Ruby be prettier than her! Ruby nced at hernguidly and made a faint smile, ¡°If you really want to know it, just ask your father This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. to send you there and stay for several years.¡± Rita was embarrassed by her reply. ¡°You are so humorous, Ruby. I haven¡¯t seen you for so long. Now that you are back, I¡¯ve host a wee party for your return. Since you got nothing to do now, why don¡¯t you juste with me? There are a lot of people who want to know about you.¡± The embarrassment on her face was quickly reced by a smile. She reached out her hand and held Ruby¡¯s arm. Seeing this, Ruby raised her eyebrow and took out her hand slowly, ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with your friends, and you.¡± Chapter 14 What a Pity! Chapter 14 What a Pity! ¡°Ruby!¡± Rita said coyly and held her hand again, ¡°You hurt me so much! We are sisters! I have been worried about you these years and even wanted to visit you in France once, but I was so young and the crime rate of France was so high that I had to give up the idea. Are you ming me for not giving you a visit?¡± Ruby said nothing but was standing there. She was staring at her coldly while feeling a great deal of heartache. After all these years, Rita hasn¡¯t changed at all¡ªa hypocrite who had a harmless exterior and a wicked heart inside. That was why her mother Be would fell into Rita¡¯s trap and died miserably. And that was why she would be expelled from the country and struggle abroad. Rita was frightened by her. She felt like Ruby became different after she came back from abroad, which made her scared. ¡°Ruby¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, Ruby interrupted her and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± She suddenly changed her mind and stood up with her hands in her pockets, adding a touch of mour for her originally unique beauty. A perfect match with her cold expression ¡°So, where is the wee party?¡± Rita felt more envious. But the answer from Ruby also made her excited, ¡°Are you going to the party in this outfit? Why don¡¯t you change your clothes? You can dress in my clothes.¡± Rita stepped forward and held her arm like she was her bestie. Ruby nced at her and rejected calmly, ¡°I love it, and I don¡¯t want to change it.¡± Rita took a scornful look at her stealthily and cursed her for being so ungrateful in her mind. ¡°You are pretty, after all. Unlike me, you always look attractive no matter what you are wearing.¡± ¡°Yeah. You are pretty ugly indeed,¡± Ruby replied to her bluntly. Rita was astonished at her reply. Why was she so annoying? Restraining her anger, she was walking out of the room with her hand holding Ruby¡¯s arm. ¡°Dad, mom, I¡¯m going to hang out with Ruby,¡± she didn''t forget to inform her parents before leaving. ¡°Goodbye, don''te back toote!¡± Spencer replied. He was gratified to have such a nice daughter. While Ruby was quite the contrary, never saying goodbye or showing any politeness. Rita brought Ruby into a bar, which was a dodgy ce with the mixed smell of liquor, cigarette, perfume, and something strange. As a doctor, Ruby was so sensitive to these smells that she could even infer that someone was taking drugs. It seemed like Rita had prepared a ¡®perfect¡¯ party for her. She lowered her head and walked at the bar with a scornful look. In the dim light, one could only see her fascinating lips, which looked more attractive when she smiled. Rita led her into a private box. Ruby had changed her expression. Her clear and luminous eyes were just visible even in the dimness. ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that such a beautiful girl stayed in such a chaotic country for so long. Who knows how many affairs she had ever had! What a pity,¡± they sighed silently. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Jared was thrilled after watching Rita and Ruby walk into the box and then talked to the man sitting behind him, ¡°Levi, she is the daughter of the Harold family, Rita. And the girl next to her is your fianc¨¦e, right? She looks awesome.¡± He was really surprised by her delicate face. Fairdies from distinguished families are quitemon in the city. He had seen many, but none of them is as unique as Ruby. However, it is said that she was a material slut? That was crazy. Chapter 15 You Got a Incredible fiancee Chapter 15 You Got a Incredible fiancee ¡°Uh-huh,¡± Levi replied to him calmly instead of feeling surprised. Jared looked around and said with relish, ¡°Rita seems to prepare a big surprise for her. The guests here are mostly yboys who love to get womenid by some currish means.¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What a pity,¡± Jared ended the conversation and only felt sorry to see such a pretty girl in trouble. Pity? Knowing what was going to happen, a hint of slyness shed in Levi¡¯s eyes. He smiled. He should feel pity for those yboys. Here back to Rita, she introduced Ruby to the others smilingly, ¡°This is my sister Ruby. She just came back from France yesterday.¡± More than ten guests were sitting on the seats and watching them. Among them, some rascally men had fixed their eyes on Ruby since she showed up. Once they heard that she came back from France, they burst intoughter. ¡°Rita, your sister is such a beauty,¡± one of the men rubbed his chin and licked his lips excitedly. He loved pretty girls, especially loved them deadly in bed. While Ruby was the kind of haughty girl he preferred most. He could even imagine the scene that Ruby was crying and begging him on her kneel to be gentle. ¡°Thanks for your kind remark, Mr. Sean,¡± Rita smiled gently and kept a distance from Ruby stealthily. Ruby frowned and nced at Mr. Sean, who looked more excited when he noticed that Ruby took a look at him. From his expression, she could tell he had taken drugs She swept her eyes over them and found they were all in a state of unusual excitement. Given the white powders on the table, she concluded that they were all drug addicts. It was surprised for her to see Rita hanging out with this kind of people, but she hadn¡¯t seen any sign about Rita taking drugs yet. It looked like she wanted to keep herself away of this. Meanwhile, someone handed to her a cup of wine with bubblesing up from the bottom. Obviously, the drink was drugged. ¡°Have a drink with us, Ruby?¡± Ruby saw the cup of wine and leaned backward, ¡°My father doesn¡¯t allow me to drink.¡± But Rita just said with a surprised look, ¡°Ruby, dad never care about this¡­Oh!¡± Then she held her mouth and looked frustrated, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I spill the beans.¡± Ruby was speechless. ¡°If you don¡¯t ept the toast, you will have to learn the hard way,¡± the man warned her with a fake smile. Rita had told them that Ruby was nearly abandoned by the Harold family, so they could do whatever they want to her except killing her. They knew it at the beginning and wouldn¡¯t show any mercy to her. At first, they didn¡¯t show too much interest in her, but after seeing how pretty she was, they changed their mind. ¡°This is the rule of this ce, Ruby. You¡¯rete and you have to drink this¡­¡± Rita said embarrassingly. ¡°Oh. Maybe you can drink it for me.¡± Before Rita could finish her words, Ruby took the cup of wine in one hand and put it to her lips while she grabbed a sliver needle and pricked the back of Rita in another hand. Rita tried to scream due to the sudden pain, but soon she found that she only opened her mouth without making any sound. Ruby looked at her in confusion, ¡°You want me to help you? Fine.¡± She raised her hand and poured the wine into her mouth. Rita tried to stop her, but soon she realized she couldn¡¯t make any move for unknown reasons. The wine ran down through her throat, some of which spilled out from the corner of her mouth and flowed down to her neck and clothes. She didn¡¯t let Rita go until pouring thest drop of wine into her mouth and threw down the cup. Ritay on the side of the sofa and kept coughing with her face turning red. She left Ruby aside and put her finger into her throat, trying to induce vomiting and get the wine out of her body. She knew what these people would do to Ruby, so the drug they added in the wine must be something with strong effect. Soon, she felt her head was dizzy, her throat was aching, and her body was scorching. She turned to look at Ruby in horrified disbelief. How could this bastard treat her like that! ¡°Holy moly! Your fiancee is so incredible! That¡¯s so cool!¡± Jared was watching all of these upstairs. Though he couldn¡¯t hear the sound downstairs, he was thrilled when he saw how Ruby forced Rita to drink the wine. Levi turned to look at Jared and frowned, feeling he was pretty noisy tonight. ¡°Levi, your fiancee is really a tough guy. Maybe she will beat you up if you two have an argument after you¡¯re married! ¡± Jared told everything that happened downstairs to him enthusiastically in a surprised look. Chapter 16 My Boyfriend Is Waiting For Me Chapter 16 My Boyfriend Is Waiting For Me Levi raised his eyebrow and smiled. Unlike Jared, his eyes were pretty sharp. He could see the silver needle in between her fingers clearly. Interesting. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°¡­Levi, are you smiling?¡± Jared looked at him in surprise. In Jared¡¯s view, Levi was a man who never smiled and always looked cold and indifferent. Even though he smiled, it was a fake smile that didn¡¯t show any real emotion about him. For so many years, this was the first time for Jared to see him smile out of joy. That was sensational. Levi nced at him calmly, ¡°You made a mistake, forget it.¡± Jared said nothing but stared at him for a while, and found he was as emotionless as he used to be. Maybe the smile was his hallucination? Maybe he¡¯s right? ¡­ ¡°¡­Sister?¡± Rita looked at Ruby dully. When she realized she could talk again, she held her throat immediately. She felt her head was in a mess, and her body was scorching. That was terrible. What did Ruby do to her! Why couldn¡¯t she move or speak just now! ¡°Firstly, I¡¯m the only child of my mom, so honestly, I don¡¯t have any sister. Secondly, it¡¯s better to be self-aware, especially for an idiot. Don¡¯t get cocky before you coulde up with some good ideas,¡± Ruby patted her back and talked to her smilingly. They were talking to each other by their ears, which looked like this pair of sisters were having an intimate conversation. But only Rita knew how cruel her words were. ¡°Take your time. I¡¯m going home,¡± Ruby let go of her and walked away. ¡°Wait, you can¡¯t juste and go so easily like everyone in the room is nothing to you. If you want to go, you need to drink the wine first.¡± Before Ruby could walk to the door, Mr. Sean got in her way and stopped her. She raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, ¡°She just drank it for me.¡± He was looking at Ruby in a lustful way, which only made her feel disgusting, ¡°You have to drink it by yourself.¡± Then, he took a step towards her. ¡°Stop approaching me,¡± she said in a calm tone. But everyone in the room started tough all of a sudden, and he took another big step toward her on purpose. She reached out her hand to push him away without thinking, but he grabbed her arm before she could touch him. He was staring at her in obsession and rubbed her arm with his hand. Ruby looked at him coldly and gave out all her strength. Without realizing what was happening, Mr. Sean only felt an acute pain in his stomach and saw everything around him was moving back quickly. Then, he hit the ground heavily and lost consciousness. The whole bar waspletely silent for a while. The guests on the seat didn¡¯t make any sound. They just looked at Ruby in astonishment and forgot to do what they should do. ¡°I told you to stop, but you didn¡¯t listen,¡± she said regretfully and patted the dust off her hands. After finishing her words, she walked away as nothing happened. ¡°¡­¡± What was going on! A cute girl just went ballistic? ¡°Mr. Sean¡­Mr. Sean¡­¡± Someone finally figured it out and ran to check Mr. Sean. The bar returned to be noisy and chaotic once again. On the second floor, Jared was still reying the whole thing in his mind, while Levi had disappeared. Outside the bar, the rain was stopped not long ago. Ruby was breathing the humid air and stepping on wet ground with a patter of sound. Before she could get away from it, some gangsters were approached and blocked her way. ¡°Hey, what a pretty chick! Now that you are alone, why don¡¯te with me and have some fun?¡± Since this was not the posh part of town and Ruby was having a in outfit, they thought she was just an ordinary girl and wasn¡¯t afraid of her at all. While she was already annoyed by all these things, and the only thought in her mind was to stop pretending innocent and deal with these punks quickly without being noticed by somebody else. But soon, she felt someone was watching her. She looked in the direction out of the corner of her eye and saw a silhouette leaning on the telegraph pole. He looked familiar. She took another look but was confused. What was he doing here? Just looking on? When she realized he was looking on, she lowered her head and rxed her muscles, withdrawing the hand she just reached out. And then she put on a weak and poor look, saying in a trembling voice, ¡°My¡­My boyfriend is waiting for me there.¡± Chapter 17 The Newcomer Chapter 17 The Neer No sooner had she said it than she ran to the telegraph pole, but the gangsters intercepted her and then nced in the direction of the pole. Once they saw the slender silhouette leaning on the pole, they were terrified. They were tough guys who always got in a fight. How could they be scared by a man so easily? In the next second, only two men were staying put and guarding her, while the others were running to Levi aggressively. Levi raised his eyebrows. Even in the dark, he could still see the facial expression of Ruby not far away. Though she was still trying to pretend to be innocent, her twisted lips indicated that she almost failed to restrain herself fromughing out. So, she was getting him involved in this situation on purpose. Ruby did mean to do it, but to her surprise, she didn¡¯t expect that Levi was here watching at him. Of course, she wouldn¡¯t let him stand there and watch. ¡°You got a nice girlfriend, pal. If you are a sensible man, you should leave her to our boss. Otherwise, you are going to have a bleeding nose!¡± Quickly, Levi was surrounded by six gangsters. He raised his eyebrow and said calmly, ¡°Oh? Really?¡± ¡°You could just present your girlfriend to our boss and receive his appreciation, but instead, you choose the hard way. It seems like we have to teach you a lesson here!¡± A stocky swore at him and raised his arm to give him a punch. And the rest of the men followed and joined the fight. It was not a big deal for Levi to defeat all of them just by herself. He moved among them swiftly and dodged their attacks. Then, he hit them hard with his shoulder, elbow, and knee. In a minute, they were all lying on the ground and groaning painfully. Ruby was watching him in appreciation. She had to admit that he looked pretty handsome no matter he was standing or fighting. After dealing with the gangsters, he turned around and walked to Ruby. The two men who were supposed to guard her had already run away. Under the lights, he stood straight in front of her and said coldly with a faint smile, ¡°Now that you have taken advantage of this time, we are even.¡± Ruby was confused for a while and then realized he was talking about the things in the hotel. Though she hadn¡¯t seen enough of him fighting with gangsters and sighed in her mind, she didn¡¯t want to spend more time on him. ¡°Yeah, we are even. Goodbye,¡± she turned around and was about to leave. ¡°Huh, ruthless,¡± he grabbed a carton of cigarettes from his pocket, put a cigarette in her mouth, and lit it up, watching the figure of Ruby fade away. This girl from the Harold family was quite interesting. When he was still thinking about this, his phone rang. Taking out the phone, Levi saw the number on the screen andpressed his lips in silence. After a while, he finally picked up the call. ¡­ Once Ruby arrived at the hotel, she received the call from Dr. Moore. She picked up the phone, turned on the hands-free mode, and poured a ss of water for herself. ¡°Did you go to the Harolds¡¯ house?¡± he said in a sullen voice. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°What a waste of time!¡± he scolded disgruntledly, ¡°Are you going to the institute tomorrow? The project is about to seed, and if we make it, it will be written down in history for all the good it makes! I don¡¯t know why you want to waste your time on meaningless chores. I heard that they found a husband for you? And you are going to marry a cripple?¡± ¡°I have to settle some problems with them,¡± Ruby didn¡¯t like this topic and replied coldly. Dr. Moore was voiceless for a while and sighed. He couldn¡¯t help but think that the Harolds were so stupid that they abandoned such a promising child and cultivated a child from his secret lover. ¡°So, are youing to the institute tomorrow?¡± he knew she didn¡¯t like the topic and stopped talking about it. ¡°Yes. Can you pick me up tomorrow morning?¡± ¡­ When Ruby woke up, her shirt was drenched by the sweats due to the nightmare she had all night long. She frowned and walked into the shower room. Since the incident she experienced five years ago, she had been having a nightmare for a long period of time. But after a while, she got rid of the nightmare for about three years. However, when she came back to her mothend, the nightmare began to haunt her once again. That was weird. Dr. Moore¡¯s car arrived at the hotel at 9 am, and he came out of the car to pick her up by himself. When the hotel manager read the rare number on the car te, he was so surprised that he thought it Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. was the car of a big shot. And the car was parked at the gate instead of the parking lot, which made the staff very rming. Once Ruby got out of the hotel, she noticed the ck car in high profile. Anyone could tell that the owner of the car was not an ordinary person, because it had a car number of six zeroes. Shaking her head speechlessly, she opened the door and got into the car. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the project?¡± Ruby said calmly in the car while ying with an old coin in her hand. ¡°The medical experiments on guinea pigs are perfect, but when ites to clinical trial, the medicine caused some adverse drug reactions to the patient, who is now moribund. It means that our research and the medicine we create are failures,¡± Dr. Moore said solemnly and looked grimed. Ruby frowned as well. The adverse reactions were not supposed to happen. However, even when the car had arrived at the institute, she couldn¡¯t figure it out. Arriving at the institute, Dr. Moore led Ruby into the entrance, which made the researchers confused. ¡°Who¡¯s that girl?¡± ¡°So looks so young. Is she a neer?¡± ¡°Do you think you can be hired by the institute at her age? It¡¯s more likely that she is the rtive of Dr. Moore.¡± ¡°Given that Dr. Moore is treating her respectfully, she may probably have a tough background.¡± ¡­ When the researchers were still gossiping about her, she had already entered theb with Dr. Moore. Once she saw the patient on the bed, she became rmed immediately. ¡°Bring everyone who has treated this patient before to me, right now,¡± Ruby took the silver needles from the bag and started to rescue him. She hade a little bitter, the patient would have been dead already. However, the problem was not caused by the experimental medicine but something else, and it was quite severe. Hearing this, Dr. Moore asked his assistant to bring all the researchers who had been in contact with the patient to here immediately. Soon, there were totally five researchers gathered in front of her, including Dr. Moore and his assistant. Apart from that, there were two females who were in their twenties and a 30-year-old male wearing a pair of sses. They had no idea why Ruby called them here all of a sudden, but when they saw Ruby was sticking needles in the patient¡¯s body, they got a little bit indignant. But when Ruby finished her job, the patient started to have sweats on his forehead, and his critically abnormal vital signs generally turned to be normal and stable. After she checked the pulse of the patient and made sure he was fine now, she took the needles back in relief and turned to look at the people in front of her. ¡°Who injected cephalosporin to the patient?¡± she said in a cold and deep tone. Chapter 18 One Day Chapter 18 One Day Hearing this, Dr. Moore was surprised at first, and then said angrily, ¡°Who did this? Show yourself now!¡± Soon, the man with a pair of sses stepped forward, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Why did you inject this to the patient without my permission?¡± Dr. Moore wanted to p on his face right now. The man pushed the sses and said calmly, ¡°The patient has been suffering a severe inmmation, which needs to be treated with cephalosporin periodically. And that was how the staff from the hospital told me before they sent him here. So, I don¡¯t think I did anything wrong and you can¡¯t just me the defect of the experimental medicine on me, Dr. Moore. It looks like we can¡¯t get the production permit for the medicine now, so we have to take the next step more carefully.¡± Irritated by his justification, Dr. Moore was not shivering out of rage. Ruby looked at the man for a while and said, ¡°You are not suitable for participating in the research.¡± But the man changed his expression after hearing this. In his view, Ruby was nothing but a young girl whose age seemed to be under 25. How was she qualified to judge him and say he was not suitable? ¡°Who do you think you are? And why do you think you have the ability to judge me? The only reason I did this was to save the patient¡¯s life!¡± he said boldly and looked at her in disdain. Dr. Moore couldn¡¯t hold his anger anymore and kicked him, ¡°Get the hell out of myb! You can even ept your own fault?! You have been participating in this research all along, and you know you are not allowed to give the patient any antibiotics after he is injected with the experimental medicine. Given that you break the rule and almost kill the patient, you need to thank me for being so kind that I haven¡¯t fired you right away! But now you are still trying to argue with her!¡± The man was frightened but still finding excuses for himself, ¡°But every medical student knows that in such a case, the patient needs to be injected with antibiotics every day, I¡­¡± ¡°Get him out of here,¡± Ruby felt the man was so noisy that she couldn¡¯t focus on reading the statistic figures about the patient¡¯s health condition anymore. Dr. Moore could tell she was thinking about the countermeasure from her expression. To prevent her from being disturbed by the man, he called the security of the institute to take him out. But the man just pulled himself free from the security guard and pointed at Ruby, ¡°Do you think you are qualified for this job? Do you know anything about pharmacology? Can you be on duty for 24 hours?¡± ¡°I have seen so many people like you, who get the job by nepotism and just for polishing your own resume!¡± ¡°I have won awards for my research papers. What about you? Without my theoretical support, your experiment won¡¯tst any longer!¡± Hearing his words, Ruby, who had been drowning in statistics and hadn¡¯t cared about him at the beginning, raised her head and looked at him with cold and ruthless eyes. ¡°The experiment won¡¯tst any longer without you?¡± Ruby stared at the arrogant man and smiled. ¡°I can forgive you for being silly, but I can¡¯t stand a man who is silly andcks self-knowledge. I didn¡¯t intend to use you of your misconduct at first, but now that you want it, I will give it to you.¡± ¡°Call the police, Dr. Moore, and let theyers of the institute get ready. It¡¯s time to put this Mr. Smartass into prison for further study,¡± this pretty girl made a bright smile that even Dr. Moore was attracted by it, while her words werepletely merciless. Dr. Moore thought for a while and nodded, ¡°Sure, I will inform theyers. How¡¯s the patient?¡± ¡°He¡¯s out of danger. I have stabilized his condition,¡± Ruby gave a simple reply. ¡°Ha! What an ignorant chick! Are you going to sue me? For what? I have done nothing wrong. It¡¯s your defective medicine that nearly kills the man! I tell you, that I will neverpromise with your evil men, and what¡¯s more, I¡¯m going to expose your atrocity, telling everyone that you brutal men are doing experiments on living humans! This patient is doomed now, and I¡¯m sure that his rtives won¡¯t let you get away with it so easily.¡± Knowing that Dr. Moore was going to sue him, he was pretty worried at first, but once he heard the words from Ruby, he got rid of the worriment immediately. She was surely a girl with a pretty appearance and an empty head. How was that possible for her to stabilize his condition? He had been treating the patient for so long and knew much about his health condition. The patient had been suffering multiple organ failures already. Even the greatest doctor in the world could not save his life! Besides, this patient was not an ordinary person. He wasing from the Sheridan family. If he really died in the institute, his family would let them pay for it. While his gentle-looking face distorted with conceit, he stared at Ruby and said wildly, ¡°You will be This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. regret messing with me one day! You will be kneeling on the ground and begging me one day! You asshole!¡± ¡°Sorry for letting you down. I¡¯m afraid that the day will nevere.¡± She walked by the patient¡¯s bed and felt the pulse on his wrist. Then, she grabbed a small bottle from her pocket, took a tiny red pill from it, and put it into his mouth. After that, she took out three silver needles from the bag and stuck them into the top of his head. The man looked at Ruby and smiled coldly, ¡°You think you can save him just by¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, he stopped all of a sudden and stared at the patient, who suddenly start to cough and then woke up, with an astonishing look. Dr. Moore nced at him indifferently and had enough of this eyesore, ¡°Guys, just get him out of here and call the police.¡± ¡°No! You can¡¯t do this to me! You need to thank me for injecting cephalosporin for him and saving his life! You need to¡­¡± He was so annoying that Ruby just gave him a prick with the needle and shut him up. The room was quiet immediately. The security guards took a look at Ruby respectfully and took him out. ¡°You really cure him?¡± Dr. Moore said in surprise. He had been getting along with her long enough to know how incredible she was. The experimental medicine couldn¡¯t be made without her contribution. If she hadn¡¯t been a girl who loved to stay a low profile and seldom took the credit, she would have been the youngest academician in the country due to her contribution to the medical world. She was only twenty years old! What a great record! ¡°No, he can¡¯t be cured so easily. He has been in aa for so long that his physical function starts to degenerate, and his organs are so heavily damaged that he doesn¡¯t have much time even though we keep using medicines on him to sustain his life,¡± Ruby shook her head and took a look at the man who did nothing but only stared at the ceiling dully after opening his eyes. ¡°Do you have any idea about how to save him?¡± Dr. Moore hesitated and said cautiously. Ruby took a look at him in surprise, ¡°What? Is he a rtive of yours?¡± ¡°No. He is Taylor Sheridan from the Sheridan family. He was turned to this to save a great man. We have been trying to sustain his life in these years, so is the great man who also cares about his condition. If you can cure him, it will be helpful for you to have a better life and career in the country,¡± Dr. Moore shook his head gently and introduced him to Ruby. ¡°His health condition is so bad that I can¡¯t do anything about it now. Just keep treating him with medicines and find a reliable person to look after him. He can¡¯t stand another medical negligence now anymore. If something like this happens once again, nobody can save him one more time,¡± Ruby said after long reflection. Hearing this, Dr. Moore said nothing but nodded. Chapter 19 How Dare You to Come Back Chapter 19 How Dare You to Come Back They left the sickroom quickly and walked into the office. Dr. Moore handed the experimental data to Ruby and added, ¡°We have only conducted clinical trials on ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. one patient, so we don¡¯t have enough data to support the effectiveness of the medicine about recovering the brain cells of vegetables who are diagnosed as brain death. I¡¯m trying my best to find more volunteers for the clinical trial.¡± ¡°Yeah. You don¡¯t need to be hurried about finding volunteers. Once the medicine is proved to be effective, the whole world is going to be surprised. So you need to keep the project secret and investigate the potential volunteers carefully. Don¡¯t leak it out, or you will be in danger,¡± Ruby nodded and scanned through the data. Most of the data came from the experiments on guinea pigs, and they looked pretty good. And now that Taylor, who had been a vegetable for over three years, could be awoken from thea after he had been injected with the medicine for a period, it could be proved that the medicine was quite effective to some extent. ¡°I will be in the city in recent days, so you can call me at any time if you need,¡± Ruby gave the data back to Dr. Moore. ¡°Are you really going to marry the guy from the Finn family? You don¡¯t have to waste your time on the people of the Harold family, you know. Why don¡¯t you spend more time in the institute and bring benefit to the whole society?¡± Dr. Mooreined when he saw her leaving theb. ¡°There are some things I have to do,¡± Ruby smiled coldly. Every time she recalled the scene of her mother dying miserably in front of her, she could no longer be calm. She was going to take back everything that Spencer had taken from her mother. Ruby checked the time and assumed that Rita was about toe back home, so she made a smile and waved her hand to Dr. Moore before leaving the institute, ¡°See you.¡± An hourter, the taxi was stopped at the gate of the Harolds¡¯ house. Looking at the mansion which lit up brightly, the smile on her face grew bigger. While Susan was having a dramatic response to what Ruby had done. She threw away her standing disguise as a virtuous and demuredy with her face distorted by rage. The only thing she wanted to do now was to tear Ruby apart. While Ruby was walking into the house slowly and carelessly with her hands in the pocket. The terrified steward looked at her carefully and started to worry about her. ¡°How dare you toe back and face me, Ruby!¡± Once she saw Ruby get into the house, Susan ran to her in fury and raised her hand to p her on her face. Instead of dodging her p, Ruby walked even closer to her and said calmly, ¡°Think twice before you make a move, Susan. The one you are trying to hit is not only Miss Harold, but also Mrs. Finn in the future.¡± Her hand, which was diving at the beginning, halted in the air after she heard the words. She stared at Ruby resentfully and with the impulse to kill her a thousand times. However, she didn¡¯t dare to beat the future Mrs. Finn. ¡°How could you scheme against Rita! This kind girl was hosting a wee party for you but then you just treated her like this! How vicious you are, Ruby!¡± she didn¡¯t dare to strike her but shivered in anger and scolding at her. God knew how frightened she was when she heard that Rita was almost got raped at that ce. Susan had been trying her best to cultivate the image of an upper-ssdy in Rita so that she could marry into a noble family and be the hostess. If she was raped by those people, it would be impossible for her to find a husband from a noble family anymore! ¡°What did I do to her? You must be wrong about me,¡± Ruby said with an innocent look, while she was overjoyed in her mind for seeing Susan get enraged. She loved to see Susan lose one''s temper but couldn¡¯t do anything to her. ¡°I¡¯m wrong? It was you who forced Rita to drink the wine! And you knew the wine was added with¡­¡± Susan suddenly realized something and stopped talking about that before she could finish her words. Then, she nced at Ruby in resentment and said crossly, ¡°I don¡¯t care about your excuse. No matter in what kind of situation, you shouldn¡¯t leave your sister in such a ce. The ce is infested with hooligans. If she bes the target of them¡­¡± ¡°Oh? Such a ce? But Susan, I¡¯m not the one who drives her there. On the contrary, It was Rita who led me there by herself. Speaking of the wine, she was also voluntary to drink it. What? Did she tell you that it was me forcing her to drink it?¡± Ruby blinked her eyes with an innocent look, like she had nothing to do with this mess. Susan burst into anger but couldn¡¯t say a word to retort her. It was Rita who insisted to bring Ruby to the bar, and Ruby did reject it before. Though Rita nearly fell into those men¡¯s hands, she didn¡¯t have any reason to me it on Ruby. Susan couldn¡¯t understand how could Ruby be such a nuisance. Though she never said something aggressive, her words could irritate you so easily. She knew she was reaping what she had sowed and couldn¡¯t find any reason to let her ount for this, so she had to suffer it with no excuse. She had never been in such disgrace after she became the hostess of the Harold family. Looking at Ruby¡¯s face, Susan gritted her teeth silently, but when it reminded her of the marriage and the Finn family, she had to restrain her anger to her. ¡°Why do youe back sote? You are the fianc¨¦e of Levi Finn now, just behave yourself. Stop wandering around sote at night or Mrs. Finn is going to scold you for this,¡± Susan still felt irritated and tried to make trouble for her. But Ruby just smiled and nodded obediently after hearing this, ¡°You are right, Susan. From now on, I will be staying at home to wait for the marriage and never leave the house without necessity at night.¡± Susan was so displeased now. She was insinuating that Ruby was a dissolute girl, but Ruby didn¡¯t take her insinuation at all. This made her feel like she make a punch to a pillow. She made the effort, but the pillow was still intact. Ruby yawned and walked upstairs carelessly. Two minutester, Rita¡¯s scream came out from the second floor. ¡°Ahhhh! What are you doing, Ruby!¡± Ruby picked her ears and looked at Rita in a calm manner, ¡°Dad told me that I could pick any room I like in the house as my bedroom. I love your room, so please find yourself another room.¡± Rita stared at her astonishedly with a pale face, ¡°You want me to give my room to you? Do you think you deserve it? I¡¯m the inheritor of the Harold family after all!¡± ¡°Oh? Really? Maybe you should marry that cripple from the Finn family. They say he is going to marry the inheritor of Harold family, you know,¡± Ruby nced at her peacefully and said in a casual tone. While Rita was so annoyed for not being able to refute her words. Then, she gave up the room reluctantly. This was the brightest and coolest room in the house, but she didn¡¯t have any way to defend it from Ruby. Ruby had changed. She was no longer the na?ve and gullible girl five years ago. Chapter 20 Meet With Him Chapter 20 Meet With Him Though she seemed to be weak and harmless now, she could always bring misery to those who tried to take advantage of her. ¡°Enjoy it while you can, Ruby. Soon you will meet your fate!¡± Since they had been hostile to each other in the bar and now nobody was in the room except them, Rita stopped pretending friendly to her and left the room with her pillow after threatening her. When she was gone, Ruby looked around the room in cold eyes. Five years ago, this room belonged to her. It was carefully designed and furnished by Nellie herself, but sadly, they had removed the original design and changed almost everything in the room. She didn¡¯t even want to sleep on the bed which had been used by Rita. That made her feel disgusting. When Rita was gone, she asked servants to throw everything that belonged to Rita out of the room and changed the bedsheet. If it wasn¡¯t sote right now, she would even throw out the bed and get a new one. Seeing her things get thrown out, Rita cried out of anger and said grievously while holding Susan¡¯s hand, ¡°Mom. Look what is she doing to me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she can¡¯t be so proud for long. After she marries into the Finn family, everything in the house still belongs to you. Besides, the men in the Finn family won¡¯t be pleased by her characteristics. They will teach her a lesson sooner orter.¡± Susan was also pissed off by Ruby, but when she realized that no matter how arrogant she was, she would marry that ipetent from the Finn family, she knew Rita was going to have a better life than she had and feltforted. ¡°I will never let her get away with this!¡± Rita stared at Ruby in resentment. Every time she thought about the dishonor she had at the bar, she wanted to tear Ruby into pieces right away. But she had to be patient before Ruby married into the Finn family. When her husband was a useless cripple and nobody got her back, she could no longer be so arrogant anymore! Ruby didn¡¯t have a good night. She had a nightmare and then woke up at about 4 am. She was having a headache and couldn¡¯t fall asleep again. So she opened the window and looked at the garden in the dark, hearing the distant chirpings of different insects. Unlike by day, the night of the city in June was cool with the fragrance of flowers in the air. Rubbing her temples, Ruby walked away from the window, took some pills, and got on the bed again. When she could almost fall asleep at 7 am, the sound of someone banging the door woke her up. Lacking enough sleep, she became irritable with her eyes turning red. Pom, Pom, Pom. The man outside was hitting the door heavily like he was going to smash it. Ruby got off the bed, walked to the door, opened it angrily. Seeing her fiery face, Rita was scared with her hand halted in the air and stepped back. But soon she realized she was the inheritor of the Harold family and came to see Ruby with a proper reason, she became bold again. ¡°Why do you get up sote, Ruby! Can¡¯t you remember what day today is?¡± Rita was looking at Ruby haughtily. Ruby pressed her temples and restrained the impulse to give her a p. ¡°What?¡± Since she just woke up not long ago, her voice was so deep and attractive, but sadly, her messy face made her a bit less maic. ¡°Dad asks me to inform you that we need to pay a visit to the Finn family ording to the tradition and the fact that they had admitted the engagement. You can spend your time with your future husband there, while I¡¯m only going to make some friends there,¡± Rita said proudly. Once she knew she was going to see that cripple, she was so excited. It was said that he not only lost her both legs but was also badly disfigured. Every time she thought about Ruby was going to marry a cripple and ugly man, she was delighted. While Ruby just squinted her eyes impatiently. She didn¡¯t expect that she had to visit the Finn family right now. She was scheduled to check the situation of Taylor and make further improvements for the experimental medicine in the institute. She really didn¡¯t have much time. ¡°Got it,¡± Ruby said indifferently and closed the door. She didn¡¯t even try to pretend to be friendly to Rita. Coldly treated by Ruby, Rita was annoyed, but soon she held back the anger and walked downstairs. An hourter, Ruby finished washing and walked downstairs with a different outfit. The design of the dress she was wearing was really in poor taste. It was a bright red dress with a lot of sequins on it, which was likely to make the person who wore it looked like a waitress in the bar. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. But the dress fitted Ruby so much that it made her look charming like a gentlewoman. Every time she saw Ruby¡¯s pretty face, she would gnash her teeth out of jealousy. Susan frowned once she saw her dress. At first, she wanted to tell her not to dress like a mistress in front of the Finn family, but eventually, she gave up the idea. Anyway, she wouldn¡¯t feel sorry for her if Ruby was embarrassed by the Finn family. Since she didn¡¯t sleep wellst night, Ruby closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep in the car. While Rita was chattering endlessly next to her and made her so agitated. Ruby tried to stand her for being noisy at the beginning, but soon Rita was talking louder and louder like she was intentional, which made her couldn''t tolerate this anymore. ¡°Stop the car, driver,¡± Ruby said. The driver didn¡¯t dare to go against her and stopped the car by the roadside. Ruby opened the door, threw Rita out of the car, and closed it, ¡°Get moving, driver.¡± The driver was scared with sweats on his head but didn¡¯t dare to refuse her order, so the car was driven away. Rita was thrown and rolled around on the ground. She stood up with dust covering her and said angrily, ¡°Ruby Harold! You bitch! Bitch!¡± That was out of the line! She didn¡¯t even show any respect for her! An hourter, the cars of the Harold family arrived at the entrance of the Finns¡¯ manor. The Finn family was a wealthy and influential family that had a history of thousands of years. They were so rich that they had a manor that covered a thousand acres ofnd in the city which had such a high price ofnd. The gate was opened, and then the car was moving on the wide tarmacked road. Seeing this, Spencer and Susan couldn¡¯t helpughing in the car. They knew the Finn family was rich and influential, but they didn¡¯t expect that the family was so rich and influential! Even the Finn family only left a small proportion of their profits to them, they could live a dream life they had never reached before! Then, the cars were parked at the gate of the manor house. Spencer and Susan got off the car and walked to another car behind them. ¡°Miss Harold, we arrive at the destination,¡± the driver said carefully to the girl sleeping in the back seat. Ruby frowned and opened her eyes. Taking a look at the outside, she got off the car reluctantly. ¡°Where is Rita?¡± Susan frowned when she only saw Ruby get out of the car. And then she was surprised when she opened the door and couldn¡¯t find Rita in the car. ¡°Rita?¡± Susan was puzzled. For the visit today, she had hired a designer to make a new dress with jewelry and essories for Rita, so that she could leave a great impression on the Finn family and then date with the second son of the family. Since Levi was ipetent, the inheritor of the family was likely to be the second son, Lennon Finn. Ruby took a look at Susan carelessly. She had already known that Susan was making use of her to pave the way for Rita. And she wouldn¡¯t make it easy for them. Chapter 21 You Seem to Be Interested in Me? Chapter 21 You Seem to Be Interested in Me? "Dad, let''s go in quickly. Rita said she had something to deal with and couldn¡¯t go with us. But we can''t let the Finn family wait for us, right?" Ruby held Spencer¡¯s arm and acted like a spoiled child. It seemed that the father and the daughter had a good rtionship. Spencer frowned. He felt that what Ruby said made sense. Seeing that Susan was still losing her temper and the servant in the Finn family was standing at the door looking at her, Spencer was a little dissatisfied. He cleared his throat to remind Susan, "Well, Susan, since Rita has other things to deal with, we don''t wait for her. Let¡¯s go in first. They¡¯re all waiting for us." Susan was naturally a little unwilling. But she couldn¡¯t refute Spencer in front of others. So she could only hold back. When she left, she red at Ruby viciously. Ruby didn¡¯t care about it. She just held Spencer''s arm, and happily walked in. She looked forward to seeing the fianc¨¦ who she had never met before. There were a lot of people sitting in the living room, men, women and children. Seeing Spencer and his family walking in, they all looked over at them. Even if Spencer had been around, he was a little nervous at this time and trembling. Susan saw many young talents over there at a nce. All of them looked good. Thinking about her daughter, Rita, she hated Ruby¡¯s guts. "Hello! Come and have a seat." Hattie was still very easy-going, especially when she saw Ruby. She seemed to treat Ruby as her own daughter. Looking at Ruby''s vulgar dress, other people frowned, especially Levi¡¯s grandmother Isabe. Obviously, she didn¡¯t like Ruby. "Ruby, you¡¯re so gorgeous today." Seeing the sequins on the dress, Hattie couldn''t help sneering. Sure enough, this woman was just a hillbilly. She dared to wear such vulgar clothes, just like a dancing girl. But thinking about that she was going marry Levi, Hattie was happy again. "This is Levi''s father. Last time, he had some affairs in thepany, so he didn¡¯t go to your home with us. Today, he specifically stayed at home waiting to see you." Hattie led them three sat down. But she herself sat next to a middle-aged man with a serious face, held his arm, and introduced Ruby with a smile. Ruby looked at the man, smiled politely, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Finn." Although Ralph Finn didn''t like the girl in front of him, he didn''t show it because he was well-educated. He just responded politely. Upon seeing this, Hattie introduced other people to Ruby, "This is Levi''s grandma." Isabe looked so mean. It seemed that she was very unkind. After hearing Hattie''s words, she snorted. Ruby smiled brighter and brighter, "Hello, Mrs. Finn." Isabe just ignored Ruby. When she was about to say something to judge Ruby, she was pulled by the person next to her. Then Ruby noticed the person. It was a young girl in her 20s who sat next to Isabe. She dressed in a white cheongsam, giving others a gentle and elegant temperament. Realizing that Ruby was looking at herself, she also smiled at Ruby before speaking softly, "Grandma, she''s Levi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. If Levi knows that you treat her like this, he will be so sad." Isabe still frowned, but she didn''t speak anymore. Ruby couldn''t help but nced at the girl again. Although this girl seemed to be speaking for her, it seemed that she was silently dering something. Ruby smiled, feeling more interesting. It seemed that the Finn family was really messier than the Harold family. She didn''t have time to y with these people. She had to find a chance to terminate the marriage contract. ¡°Ma¡¯am, where is Levi? Didn''t he get engaged to me? I didn''t see himst time at home. Why didn¡¯t I see him this time?" Ruby looked at Hattie innocently. Her voice was so sweet. Hattie felt disgusted. She didn''t expect that Ruby would pretend to be like this so much. Last time when she saw Ruby, she clearly looked vulgarst time. Maybe the Harold family were afraid of her being shameless in front of others, so they had deliberately trained her in the past two days. But no matter how Ruby pretended, she was just a hillbilly. "He, he is upstairs. s, since the ident, he has be taciturn and doesn''t talk to people much. If This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. you want to see him, you can go upstairs to see him. It¡¯s in the second room on the left." Hattie raised her hand and pretended to wipe the corner of her eye. Ruby felt so speechless. Then she simply answered, "Okay, then I will go up and see him." She got up and walked in the direction of the stairs. The faces of the people present changed, especially Ralph. He looked so angry. Where were the girl¡¯s manners? This Ruby was really too much! His dissatisfaction was all on his face. Spencer was also very angry. However, Spencer couldn¡¯t teach Ruby a lesson in front of the Finn family. He could only exin with a smile, ¡°Ruby is a more straightforward child. She probably wants to see Levi." Hattie covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn''t expose Spencer''s lies. It was okay that Spencer didn''t exin it. Once he exined it, things became worse. The atmosphere downstairs was heavy. But Ruby didn''t bother to pay attention to it. She went up to the second floor. Then she opened the door of the second room on her left. There was a faint smell of blood in the room. At the same time, a familiar smell permeated. Ruby couldn''t help frowning as soon as she walked in. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn''t remember where she had smelled it before. "Anyone here?" She asked louder tentatively, and walked into the room without waiting for the response. The room was cleaned up. A man was sitting on the balcony in a wheelchair with his back facing the door. He seemed to have heard the voice. Then he pressed something down. The wheelchair turned around slowly. The man''s face also turned around together. Ruby stared at that face for a moment, and took a few more nces at the silver mask on his face. It was a very delicate mask. She didn''t know if it was an illusion. When she looked at the man in front of her, she had a strange sense of familiarity. "Have we met somewhere?" Ruby stared at him for a while, then asked curiously. The man''s lowughter rang out in the room. He asked with a teasing tone, "This youngdy, do you always strike up a conversation with other men like this?" It was not that person''s voice. Ruby judged it right away. The nasty guy she had met twice should not be the man in front of her. But the two of them gave her the same feeling. "No, I just think you are simr to someone I know. Are you Levi? My fianc¨¦?" Ruby directly sat down on the bed and looked at Levi. The man''s skin was very fair. The chestnut bangs fell on his forehead, covering most of the mask. His chin was angr and his lips were thin with a bit red. He wore a finely hand-made ck shirt. Three buttons on the neckline were unbuttoned, revealing his delicate and beautiful corbone. He wore a pair of ironed trousers. Even in a wheelchair, he could make others feel a little depressing. "You seem to be very interested in me?" Ruby was startled by the low male voice, which sounded abruptly in her ears. That familiar feeling came to her again. Chapter 22 They鈥檙e Very Affectionate Chapter 22 They¡¯re Very Affectionate "Yeah." Ruby put away the surprise in her eyes. She looked up and down at the strange man in front of her again and again. Except for the familiar smell, the man in front of her was just aplete stranger for her. She had never met him before. She felt that she was really a little sensitive after returning back. She always felt familiar to everyone. "Oh?" Ruby''s honesty made Levi raise his eyebrows. The interest in his eyes became more intense. "Being my wife is indeed worthy of you having interest. But it is a pity that you will be disappointed. If you marry me, you may not get what you want." "Not necessarily." Ruby smiled, looking at Levi. Ruby, who originally thought the Finn family was a big trouble and wanted to cancel the marriage contract, now felt that marrying Levi was a very good cover. Her identity couldn¡¯t be made public, because she had several forms of experimental agents in her hands. Once someone bad learned her identity, what awaited her would be a series of assassinations. Even the people around her would be in danger. Being his wife seemed quite good. At least no one would have thought that the ordinary wife of a disabled man would be the well-known DR.C in the world. "No matter what, you¡¯re a member of the Finn family. If I marry you, I won¡¯t suffer any loss. Besides, it is better than being ignored in the Harold family. What do you think?" Ruby looked like greedy for money. If Levi hadn''t met Ruby before or knew that she was glib, he might have been deceived by her. Unexpectedly, this woman was not only good at eloquence, but also good at acting. Levi smiled. He leaned on the wheelchair, and looked at Ruby, "I think what you said makes sense." "I think so, too. It¡¯s a deal. How about holding the wedding on the eighth day of next month? I hope you will not make any excuses to cancel the marriage contract." Ruby was very satisfied with Levi''s decision. Although the man in front of her was disfigured and his leg was broken, she didn''t mind seeing if she could cure his injury when she was free, because he was pretty good. Levi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruby with a seeming smile, "Of course I won''t. You don''t mind if I am disabled?" "Then do you mind if I am a loser?" Ruby asked back casually. Now in Sea City, everyone knew that there was a loser in the Harold family, who had learned nothing since she was a child. She was thrown abroad by Spencer and lived there alone for five years. That ce was notoriously chaotic. Even if one person had strong backgrounds, he would live very hard, let alone Ruby who had no one to support. Everyone could image what would happen if she went there. Ruby returned back just a few days before those things had spread. Everyone was waiting to see her jokes. Speaking of it, it was also due to her good sister, Rita. If Rita hadn''t spared no effort to help her publicize, it would be difficult for her bad image to gain poprity so quickly. "Well." Levi smiled. His fianc¨¦e was more interesting than expected. Her skills and wisdom were enough for her to deal with many things. He wanted to protect Amelia. Then Ruby happened to be the most suitable shield. Thinking about it this way, he felt this fianc¨¦e was not bad. He really wanted to thank Hattie to help him find such a fianc¨¦e. "Then we are kind of perfect match." Levi sneered. But Ruby couldn''t see his face through the mask. She just nced at Levi surprisedly. The familiar feeling became stronger. Had she really seen him? Ruby looked thoughtful. Levi pushed the wheelchair toe to her, "Since you want to marry me, let''s go downstairs now." "Okay." She agreed, got up and pushed the wheelchair. Then the two went downstairs together. Hattie, Spencer and Susan had already discussed the details of the wedding. Because Ralph was very dissatisfied with the marriage, he didn''t speak much. Instead, he watched them with a cold face throughout the whole process. Isabe simply didn''t stay here. She asked the woman next to her to help her back to the room, making it clear that she was very dissatisfied with this future granddaughter-inw. When Ruby pushed Levi over there, Ralph frowned. His eyes fixed on Ruby. The strap of Ruby''s dress fell off, revealing half of her shoulder. Some hickeys were faintly visible on her neck. Seeing that, Ralph pulled a long face. He stood up quickly and didn''t even bother to say hello to her. He just left the living room with a gloomy face. Ruby just nced at him. Then she smiled faintly. After that, she pushed Levi over here with a bright smile. This shield was not bad. As long as she took Levi as the cover in the future, maybe she could avoid a lot of troubles in the Finn family. "Dad, Susan, Hattie." Pushing Levi to the living room, Ruby greeted several people present sweetly. Hattie frowned and nced at Levi, then at Ruby. Suddenly, she sneered. She was originally worried about what Levi would make things difficult for Ruby, but she didn''t expect ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. that Ruby was so good that she would be able to let Levi make out with her. Now even Ralph was mad at him. From now on, Levi would be screwed up. He couldn''t be the heir of the Finn Group. Thinking about it, Hattie was in a good mood. The smile on her face was brighter. "Ruby,e here. You two are about to get married soon. You don¡¯t have to be so polite to me." Hattie patted Ruby''s hand. Seeing the big gold bracelet on Ruby¡¯s wrist, she felt sick again. "Got it." Ruby answered. At the same time, she took off the big gold bracelet from her wrist and put it on Hattie''s wrist at once. Hattie was stunned. She didn''t react at all, then she heard Ruby speak sweetly, "You will be my mother- inw in the future. This is my gift for you. Do you like it?" Hattie was so speechless that she almostughed. How could she like this tacky and ordinary stuff? But in front of Ruby, she couldn¡¯t refuse so directly. So she could only nod against her will, "I like it. I like it very much." "That¡¯s good. I''m afraid you don''t like it. When I bought this, the boss told me that if the bracelet meets someone who is suitable for it, that person can''t take it off. If she really wants to take it off, she can cut it with a tool. But the hardness of gold is so high, so ordinary things can¡¯t cut it." Ruby patted her chest, looking scared. Hattie looked so gloomy. Chapter 23 Publish It in the Newspaper Chapter 23 Publish It in the Newspaper Hattie looked at the bracelet on her wrist, feeling stiff. She tried to take it off while Ruby was not looking at her. But she found she couldn¡¯t take it off no matter how hard she tried. It was weird. It was so easy for Ruby to put it on her wrist. Thinking of what Ruby said just now, she looked more gloomily. Levi kept watching from the side. Watching Hattie get embarrassed, he was in a good mood. "The boss must lie to you. How could it be possible!" Hattie forced a smile, and said reluctantly. "Really? I also think he lied to me. I can take it off so easily." Ruby seemed to not catch Hattie''s words. She answered seriously. Hattie felt so speechless. She managed a smile but didn¡¯t speak to Ruby again. The details of the wedding had been finalized. Ruby had nothing to do here. After she made Hattie feel disgust, she went over to stand behind Levi''s wheelchair again, lowered her head, and said shyly, "Well, Dad, Susan, Hattie, now that our marriage has been settled. Can you let the reporter issue a press release? I''m always worried that everything is not true. I am afraid that it will be fake when I wake up." No one thought that Ruby would make such a request. So they were all a little astonished for a while. But it was not a big deal. Spencer couldn¡¯t wait to let the Finn family to announce this matter. In this way, everyone in Sea City knew that their family had the special rtionship with the Finn family. At this time, the more he saw Ruby, the more he felt satisfied. Although she didn¡¯t get close to him since she was a child and had been away for five years, she still considered the Harold family anyway. See! "No problem. I''ll let thepany''s public rtions department make a statementter and publish your marriage news in the newspaper." Seeing Ruby''s pretentious look, Hattie felt sick, but she still agreed with a polite smile. "Thank you! You are so kind to me." Ruby looked up at Hattie with excitement. Hattie felt creepy by the look in Ruby''s eyes. She was even more afraid that Ruby would suddenly have a look. How about having a meal with us together?" "Thank you." Ruby said softly and thanked her again. Hattie walked more quickly. The smile on Ruby''s face was brilliant. She blinked at Levi. Levi was speechless. He was a little curious about what exactly Ruby experienced in F COUNTRY in the past five years so that she had such amazing acting skills. He had investigated Ruby. Before she went to F COUNTRY, she was very simple. Her academic performance was mediocre. She went to school in a private high school in Sea City. Five years ago, she was sent by the Harold family because of a terrible scandal. Then her experience went nk in those five years. He knew how good his intelligence agencies were. Even they couldn''t find out the information about Ruby. It could only show that there was a big shot who was hiding something for Ruby. "Ruby, it¡¯s ten days left to the wedding. Buy something with the credit card that I gave you. Buy whatever you want." Spencer liked Ruby very much now. She was so good! "Okay, thank you, Dad." Ruby replied, pushing Levi aside, and found a ce to sit down. At dinner, Ralph made an excuse that he had an important client to receive, so he did not show up. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Isabe made an excuse that she was unwell and didn''t show up. It was the weak woman who had always been with her came to dine with them. "Miss Harold is studying in F Country? I heard that the education there is pretty good." Flora looked at Ruby. While slowly eating the food in the bowl, she asked softly. Ruby nced at her. She could feel Flora''s hostility towards her, probably because of Levi. She took the fork and put a piece of meat into her mouth. It tasted good, then she picked a piece and put it in Levi''s bowl. After doing these, she answered Flora''s question sincerely, "You can quickly break up with that person. She is definitely lying to you. The education in F Country is the worst in the world. The people there only know how to flirt with the little girls except for being romantic. Flora frozen for an instant. She looked at Ruby nkly, feeling at a loss. Levi had just eaten a bite of food. Hearing what Ruby said, he almost choked to death. Then he coughed for a long time before relieving. Ruby quickly patted him on the back, then got a bowl of soup and gave it to him. "Really? I, I thought..." Flora didn''t know how to answer. Her face was a little pale. "If you want to know the situation in F Country that much, I suggest you can ask your parents to send you there. You''ll know it after living here for a few years." Ruby interrupted Flora. Flora''s face turned paler and she was shivering. She looked at Levi with weeping, but she saw that Levi put the piece of meat into his mouth. Suddenly, she copsed. She couldn''t believe her eyes. Levi had always been a neat freak, let alone eating other people¡¯s dishes. When he ate with the Finn family, he didn¡¯t allow anyone to touch his dishes. She had lived in the Finn family for more than 20 years. This was the first time she had seen that Levi actually ate the meat that a woman gave him... She couldn''t understand the reason. "Eat this. It''s good." Ruby ignored Flora who was sitting there and performing. She continued to give Levi the food. Levi frowned and looked at the food in the bowl. Before he could speak, he heard Flora, who was sitting on the opposite side, cautiously reminded Ruby, "Miss Harold, you may not know Levi very well. He never eats this..." Before she finished speaking, Levi seemed to be against her deliberately. He directly picked up the food that Ruby gave him and put it into his mouth. It tasted a little strange, and it felt like eating soil. Levi resisted the difort and swallowed it. "What did you say?" Ruby watched Levi finished eating, then she looked up at Flora, blinked, and asked innocently. Flora opened her mouth but she couldn''t say a word. Did Levi actually eat it? Why did he treat Ruby so differently? Why would he be so amodating and conniving to her? Chapter 24 Provocation Chapter 24 Provocation "No, it''s nothing." Flora said embarrassedly. After speaking, she suddenly felt that the chair she was sitting on seemed to have thorns. She was so restless that she really didn''t want to stay here any longer. After finding an excuse, she went back to the room. Seeing Flora like that, Hattie couldn''t help being amused. This Flora was Isabe''s grandniece. Her parents passed away a few years ago, and she was the only one left. Isabe saw that she was pitiful and young, so she raised her. But Flora had ambitions. She wanted to marry Levi wholeheartedly. It was a pity that Levi ignored her all these years. Ruby made Flora so embarrassed in public. With Flora''s character, she would definitelyin to Isabe. Levi was now disabled. Ruby was not favored by the Finn family and couldn¡¯t give Levi any help. From now on, the Finn family could only belong to her son. "Ruby, it''ste now. How about staying here tonight?" Hattie wiped the corners of her mouth after she finished eating. Then she looked up at Ruby. Ruby was putting some food into Levi¡¯s bowl. Hearing it, she was stunned. On the first day when she went to her fianc¨¦¡¯s home, she stayed here overnight? If it was spread out, her reputation would bepletely ruined. The Harold family would beughed at for it. But wasn''t this what she wanted? So she nodded, "Okay." Spencer wanted to refuse, but Ruby answered faster than him. He didn''t have time to react. After hearing it, he couldn''t help frowning. This was simply ridiculous. How could there be a girl who would sleep at her fianc¨¦¡¯s home before they got married? If others knew it, they wouldugh at his family. "Ruby!" He scolded, and then turned to apologize to Hattie, ¡°Ma¡¯am, I''m really sorry. Ruby grew up in F Country and doesn''t know these things. I didn''t educate her well. She has to go home tonight, lest others gossiping." With a smile on her face, Hattie nced at Spencer. Ruby looked indifferent, "Dad, it doesn''t matter. Won''t I marry Levi anyway? I can sleep here tonight, so I can know Levi better. Levi, what do you think? Can I sleep in your room tonight?" As soon as Ruby finished speaking, the faces of the servants around her changed. This was the first time they had seen such a shameless girl. It was shameful that she wanted to sleep with the man who she met at the first time! No wonder it was said that Miss Harold was by nature profligate, and she didn''t know the manners. Her biological mother was also a whore. She was found by others that she had an affair with other men and then shemitted suicide after being unable to stand the blow. Sure enough, like mother, like daughter. Hattie sneered, but she was very kind on her face, "It''s not appropriate for you guys to sleep in the same room together. I will arrange the room next to Levi for you." "Okay." Ruby thought for a while and then answered. It seemed that she was a little unhappy. Hattie despised her even more contemptuously. "Ruby, what exactly do you want to do!? Do you know if you sleep here tonight like this, what will others Spencer pulled Ruby aside furiously and gritted his teeth. Ruby looked at him innocently, "Dad, it¡¯s her who asked me to stay here. What''s wrong with me? Anyway, I and Levi are already engaged. We will get married in ten days. Even if we have sex now, isn''t it normal?" When Spencer heard it, he was even more angry, wishing to p her. If this matter was spread out, the Harold family would beughed at by the people of high society in Sea City tomorrow. He couldn''t afford the consequences! "Ruby! You..." "Dad, I have to leave now. Levi is looking for me." Ruby nced back at Levi, and then ran away hurriedly, without even giving Spencer a chance to speak. Spencer was so angry that he was blushed. He really wanted to p Ruby to death. But he couldn''t lose his temper in the Finn family. He could only hold back. Levi was silent the whole time. Seeing him like this, everyone was afraid of approaching him. Ruby pushed his wheelchair and said affectionately, "Levi, I will push you back to the room." Hattie looked at them with a smile, but didn''t stop Ruby. Ruby sent Levi back to his room. After walking into the room, the hypocritical smile on her face disappearedpletely. "Have you ever thought about learning to act? Your acting skills are quite good." Levi asked after seeing Ruby''s face changed so quickly. "That''s a good idea. What do you think of my appearance? Can I be popr in the entertainment industry? I think I can be popr." Ruby was excited when she heard the words. Then she got her face close to Levi. Levi smelled a faint fragrance, which was a bit familiar. He felt as if he had smelled it somewhere before. It seemed that he smelt it a long time ago. When he was about to think about it deeply, Ruby straightened up, turned and walked towards the door, "I''m sleepy. I have to go to bed first. My fianc¨¦, see you tomorrow." Seeing her back, Levi smiled. But a harsh ringtone interrupted the silence in the room. Levi''s face changed. He got up and picked up a heavy ck mobile phone in the drawer. On it was an iing call with no number disyed. He answered the phone with a deep voice, "Hello." "Mr. Finn, we haven''t found the whereabouts of DR.C, but what is certain is that she has left F Country, she should have gone to H Country. There are no clues where she went. We also contacted her research institute. The other party refused to provide the experimental medicine we needed." In the phone, there was a somewhat worried voice. Levi tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly, and frowned, "Can Teddie still hold on?" "The doctor said, if we can''t get the experimental drug, he can live for three days at most." Levi sighed when he heard the words. His face darkened, "I know. I¡¯ll handle this. I will think of a solution." If he remembered correctly, the research institute of Amelia¡¯s grandfather seemed to have recently ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. introduced an experimental drug developed by DR.C. If he could know Amelia¡¯s grandfather, he might have a chance to meet the mysterious DR.C. Chapter 25 Someone Is Looking For Her Chapter 25 Someone Is Looking For Her Ruby returned to her room. After taking afortable hot bath, shey on the bed, and checked the news with her mobile phone. As soon as she saw a piece of interesting news, Dr. Moore¡¯s phone call came. Ruby had to answer the phone first, with a somewhat casual voice, "Dr. Moore, are there any problems with the experimental drug?" That patient''s condition was basically stable. As long as he was properly cared for, he would recover in less than three months. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. When Ruby left the research institute, she told Dr. Moore not to contact her if there was nothing important. Dr. Moore¡¯s helpless voices came from the phone, "It''s not a problem with the experimental drug, but it can also be said to be a problem with the experimental drug. Someone wants the D3 reagent in your hand and contacted me several times." "I won¡¯t sell it." Ruby refused without even thinking about it. Dr. Moore was not surprised. He just added, "I know what you mean. They are special medicines and are not suitable forrge-scale production. Moreover, if others know it, it will cause very serious damage to our research institute. But this time, it is indeed a little different. The people who need this medicine are from a special team at domestic. They have paid a great price to defend their homes and the country, so I hope you can think about it." Ruby was silent when she heard the words. Dr. Moore seldom praised others like this. Since he said so, it was enough to show that the person who asked him for help was really paying a lot for his country. "Well, but you have to arrange for someone who you can trust. D3 reagent is not the same as other experimental drugs. Once this drug is revealed a little bit, it will have endless troubles. It''s not that I don''t believe them. It¡¯s just we can¡¯t take any risks." Ruby finallypromised. "Ruby, I know you are a good girl. By the way, the captain of this team has always wanted to contact you. If you are interested, you can get in touch with him. He¡¯s nice. If he is willing to help us, in the future, we don¡¯t have to worry about our safety." Dr. Moore was excited. Even his tone sounded much happier. Besides, he had not forgotten to rmend the person to Ruby. Ruby didn''t want to contact these people very much. She only trusted herself, so she just hung up the phone after saying other words. But within ten seconds, the screen of the mobile phone turned on. It was a phone number sent by Dr. Moore. Ruby just took a look. She didn''t bother to remember it. The bed of the Finn family was good. Ruby had a good night''s sleep. She didn¡¯t have nightmares. When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. But Ruby felt something wrong when she opened her eyes. There was a faint scent in the air. It was very faint, but she caught it. Ruby was alert. She didn¡¯t see anyone else in the room after getting up. So, when she was asleep, someone came into her room? It was still a woman? Interesting. After freshening up, Ruby changed clothes and went downstairs. The people of the Finn family were all having breakfast. When Ruby came down, she didn''t treat herself as an outsider at all. Seeing her actions, Ralph pulled a long face. After drinking up the coffee, he got up and left. He didn''t even bother to say hello to Ruby. "Huh, the Harold family really raised a good daughter!" Seeing Ruby''s shameless look, Isabe was so angry that she hit the cane against to the floor. Ruby smiled gently at her, and replied politely, "Thank you, in fact, our family is very ordinary." Isabe was speechless. She wanted to say that she wasn''tplimenting her, but she couldn''t say a word when facing Ruby. Hearing it, Levi almost couldn''t helpughing. It was rare for someone to make Isabe speechless. It was the first time he saw it. Seeing that Ruby was still standing there with a cute and pleasant face, Levi smiled. "All right, Ruby,e and have a seat. Did you sleep wellst night?" Hattie wanted tough. But she didn''t dare tough out because she was afraid that Isabe would be angry. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she quickly asked Ruby toe and sit down for breakfast. Ruby sat down obediently beside Hattie. It happened that Levi was on her left. "Levi, good morning." After Ruby sat down, she nced at Levi a little shyly, and greeted. If it hadn''t known Ruby''s true face, Levi would really feel disgusted. He had already seen her several true faces. Now, he only felt interesting. He faintly responded. Seeing that the rtionship between them seemed to be good, Hattie couldn''t help raising her eyebrows, and looked at Ruby more curiously. Since the ident, Levi had been very grotesque. He lost his temper at every turn. He didn''t respond to anyone who talked to him. His attitude towards Ruby was really interesting. It seemed that they two had other feelings. "Ruby, are you free today? Why don''t you go for a walk with Levi? He hasn''t been out for several months since the car ident." Hattie looked at Ruby with a smile, and said. "Okay, Levi, where do you want to go? But I''m not very familiar with Sea City. I haven''t been here for many years." Ruby turned her head happily to look at Levi. Levi didn¡¯t make Ruby embarrassed. Although his tone was not very kind, he answered her at least, "I don''t want to go." "But I want to go. You apany me?" Ruby supported her chin with one hand, and looked at Levi. Levi stared at her. He knew that this woman wanted to do something again. Suddenly, heughed, "Okay." In others¡¯ eyes, he was clearly pampering Ruby. Hattie was stunned for a moment. She couldn''t help but narrowed her eyes. Ruby didn''t seem to notice the reaction of others. After the two had breakfast, Hattie arranged for a driver to drive them out. In the Lincoln Limousine, Ruby hummed a song, sat in a chair, and looked at the chatting records on the phone. Theboratory in F COUNTRY had sent new experimental data over. Thetest research on cell regeneration drugs seemed to have something wrong. The regeneration speed was a bit too fast, which was far from what was expected. In addition, Taylor waspletely awake. He even could get out of bed today. Dr. Moore invited Ruby to the research institute to take a look. By the way, she could study the data. Ruby supported her chin with one hand and looked at the chat log thoughtfully. Levi looked at her so quietly. After getting in the car, the woman directly ignored him. Levi knew Ruby didn¡¯t want to apany him out. Her purpose was to get out of the Finn family. For Ruby, he was probably a tool. After being used, he was dispensable now. Thinking of this, Levi couldn''t helpughing. Theughter also attracted Ruby who was still thinking about whether to go to the research institute. She looked up at Levi. Were there any problems with this person''s brain? Why did he giggle for no reason? Chapter 26 Fake Cripples? Chapter 26 Fake Cripples? "Mr. Finn, since we''re out, if you have any ce you want to go, you can tell the driver and just drop me off at the downtown." Ruby pondered for a moment before finally deciding to make a run to the Institute. The experimental drug used on Taylor was a type C drug, and if the clinical trial was really sessful and put into use, it would be a miracle in the medical world, and brain-dead patients would have chance toe to life. There were just a lot of unknown side effects of this drug that none of them knew for the time being, and Taylor was the first patient to use this drug, and a lot of data was very important to them. "Oh? Miss Fiancee, so you''re done using me and you''re just going to throw me away? I''m just afraid that it''s not that easy." Levi''s thin lips hooked out a seductive arc, and the eyes shrouded under the mask took a hint of danger. "Why don''t you sleep in the car first, Mr. Fiance?" The silver needles between Ruby¡¯s fingers were ready, as long as Levi dared to say a word of refusal, she would immediately knock him down and let him sleep in the car. The corner of Levi''s eyes glimpsed the silver light on her fingertips, and thinking of how well she used silver needles, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew bigger, "What if I don''t sleep? Hmm?" The man''s trailing voice trailed off, indescribably seductive. However, Ruby didn''t have the time to appreciate it, suddenly approached forward, and the silver needle in her hand was about to be stuck on Levi''s acupuncture point. However, before she could seed, her wrist was sessfully caught, and with a slight force, Ruby felt a pain in her wrist, and when her hand let go, therefore the silver needle fell to the ground. Ruby''s face changed abruptly as she looked at the man in front of her with disbelief. That good? What''s going on in H Country? Why is everyone she meets back home so unbelievably skilled? Ruby, who was running rampant in F Country, was defeated for the second time. She felt so devastated that she even wondered if she was so unskilled that she would actually miss again and again. "Miss Fiancee, it''s not good to y with needles." Levi looked at the silver needles that had fallen on the car, and with a slight force on his hand, Ruby fell directly into his arms. The faint fragrance of the woman''s body is very good, not the smell of the poor quality perfume on other women, clear and light, seems to be some kind of flower fragrance, and seems to be mixed with some herbs, which makes him subconsciously rx. Levi had only just rxed, but suddenly his pupils shrank, and his right hand reflexively blocked it. It was at this moment that the silver needle that was meant to be stuck in his waist got stuck in his arm. He gave Ruby a somewhat stunned look. Ruby responded too quickly than he expected, and it hit hard. "Murdering your husband?" Levi looked at Ruby with a wry smile. Ruby was in a very awkward position with her hands under control. This inexplicable familiarity reminded Ruby of someone. The man in front of her was almost identical to the man except for the fact that he didn''t sound much like him and his face could not be seen clearly with a mask on it. "Just kidding, Mr. Fiance, you are skillful." Ruby put away her carelessness and became cautious. Whether the two are the same or not, they are very dangerous. "Oh? So fond of kidding?" Leviughed softly, because the two of them were so close that Ruby could clearly feel the sound of his chest puffing when heughed, the sound was low and deep, indescribably ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. sexy and seductive. "I ......" Ruby was just about to speak, but Levi¡¯s mobile phone rang abruptly, a very sharp and harsh ringtone that made people subconsciously feel ufortable when listening to it. After Levi heard the phone ring, his face changed and he let go of Ruby and answered the phone. Although it was close, Ruby did not hear clearly what was said inside the phone, and then she saw that Levi''s aura sank fiercely, and the atmosphere inside the entire carriage became depressingly silent. She looked at Levi with some curiosity. Levi''s low, depressed voice rang out in the carriage, "I know, I''ll be right over, you first have the doctor stabilize his condition." After saying that, he hung up the phone straight away, his brow furrowed as if he had encountered something difficult to solve. "Driver, pull over." Levi spoke in a cold voice, not even bothering to discuss it with Ruby. The driver pulled over to the front. "Get off." Levi didn''t look at Ruby, his face condensed and frightening. Ruby always felt that the image in front of her was bewilderingly familiar, as if she had experienced it just a short while ago. She pulled open the door and got out of the car, the door was closed with a bang. Ruby looked at the man sitting in the car with some dismay, he just seemed to, like, stand up? So this damn crippled thing is a fake? Is the disfigurement fake too? The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched fiercely, this Levi was really sinister, and she didn''t know who exactly he wanted to backstab. Watching that stretch Lincoln go away in dust in front of her, Ruby ate a mouthful of car exhaust. She waited a while before calling a taxi and going straight to the Institute. ** Sea City, South Mountain. The whole mountain is cordoned, with a sentry in every five steps, so not even a fly can get in. A modified ck Land Rover drove in at speed and finally stopped in front of a three-story bungalow halfway up the hill. The man in ck clothes and pants jumped down from the car, cold and stern, he was no one but Levi who had just separated from Ruby. Levi''s face was grim, and after getting out of the car, he entered a room on the first floor. It was a little dimly lit inside, and a figure could be vaguely seen on the hospital bed, and at that moment there were two middle-aged men with red eyes inside the ward, in addition to the doctor and nurse. Seeing that Levi had arrived, the two men stepped forward, their eyes instantly reddened, "Mr. Levi, Teddie may not be able to wait for the medicine to be shipped over from F Country. The doctor said that there were less than eight hours left." Before Levi came, he already had a feeling that the situation would be bad, but he did not expect it to be this bad. "What did Dr. Moore say?" He grimaced, looking at the man in the hospital bed, unable to take his eyes off of him for a moment. "He said that no one can save him unless it''s DR.C." The middle-aged man spoke in a low tone, his voice slightly choked. Levi''s heart sank as well. If DR.C was that easy to be found, Teddie''s situation wouldn''t have repeatedly deteriorated to this point. He rubbed his brow in annoyance before spitting out, "Get me Dr. Moore on the phone, and by whatever means, make sure you get in touch with DR.C. Tell him that any terms will do." "Yes." ** It was already an hourter when Ruby arrived at the Institute. The Institute is located beneath a ruined house on the west side of the city, a ruin above and the highest level of research in the country below. Ruby passed the pupil recognition system and entered the Institute. Just as she entered, she saw Dr. Moore walking over in a hurry, and when he saw her, he pulled her aside, "Ruby, it''s still the same patient fromst time, he''s in a critical condition, and he can''t wait for the D3 reagent to arrive from F Country, please do something to save him." Chapter 27 Sending Him Over Chapter 27 Sending Him Over "Dr. Moore ......," Ruby frowned subconsciously. Her whereabouts back home were secretive, and Dr. Moore knew best. To be honest, by taking out the D3 reagent to save people, she was already doing that for the sake of Dr. Moore, and as for taking action herself, she hadn''t really considered it. "This man is really important, he holds a very important piece of information, absolutely nothing must happen to him. He has been in aa for almost half a year now, I beg you, please save him." Dr. Moore rarely spoke to Ruby like this. Mostly it was just this time his old friend came to beg him, and this patient was really important. Ruby didn''t respond, but wrinkled her brow, annoyance collecting under her eyes. But seeing that Dr. Moore had begged herself in such a low voice, she sighed helplessly, "Dr. Moore, there''s no next time." "Then you agree? I will arrange a car right now, you ......" Dr. Moore was full of excitement as soon as he heard Ruby''s words. Ruby''s face darkened. Did Dr. Moore have to show her true face to everyone? She rubbed her temples and spoke with some headache, "Dr. Moore, I can offer to save him, but I have a condition. Send him to the institute, only the patient cane, no one else is allowed to enter. You should know how important I am, if you really think the person you are talking about is more important than me, you can expose me." Ruby¡¯s words were serious, and Dr. Moore instantly sobered. He had just gotten really confused for a moment and had forgotten that there was even such a thing. Now that he had calmed down, Dr. Moore responded. "I was impulsive. Then I''ll talk to them right now and tell them to send the patient over as soon as possible, but their captain might want toe in ......" "If hees in, I won''t save the patient." Ruby was very forceful this time. A patient in aa didn''t matter, but for a live person, she couldn''t guarantee that he would not reveal her identity. "Okay." Seeing Ruby''s firm attitude, Dr. Moore did not ask for more. Ruby was returning to the Country in secret this time, and it would indeed be a big trouble if her news leaked out. Dr. Moore turned to make a phone call and argued with the other party for a few moments before finally hanging up. "It''s been agreed, they''re sending the patient over right away, and they''re estimated to be here within an hour." "Okay." Ruby nodded and paid no further attention to the matter, going to see Taylor first. Taylor is recovering nicely. Ruby looked at the data, his brain cells were very active, although they had not returned to normal, they were already at a third of the level, and it was estimated that in another two to three months, they would bepletely recovered. However, because Taylor has been in aa for years, all aspects of his body have declined and recovery is a very slow process. Taylor was currently unable to speak, and when Ruby went to see him, he just stared nkly at Ruby. Dr. Moore quickly arranged for the operating room, and knowing that Ruby was watching Taylor, he followed her over. "The recovery is very good, there should be nothing wrong with this medicine." Dr. Moore took a look at Taylor''s condition, and then his gaze became different when he looked at Ruby. He had been studying the brain for over forty years and it was the first time he had seen a drug so miraculous that it could still rejuvenate dead brain cells. "Everyone''s health is different, and his example can''t be taken as a universal case. How about the hospital? Can you provide some brain dead patients as to test the medicine?" Ruby shook her head, not as confident as Dr. Moore. "Not yet, I''ve contacted quite a few tertiary hospitals in the country, and we''ll be notified as soon as there''s any news." Dr. Moore shook his head, a little disappointed. In the end living experiments sound like something immodest, and it''s true that few families want to send their loved ones over. "The smaller hospitals should also be concerned, and it''s best to try a few more people." Ruby frowned, but was relieved when she thought about it. After seeing Taylor, Ruby and Dr. Moore went to the office and as they had just sat down, the phone rang. Ruby looked at it, full of impatience. The call from Spencer must be not good news. Dr. Moore noticed the change in Ruby''s expression, and his gaze inadvertently nced over Ruby''s mobile phone screen, and he saw the word ¡®jerk¡¯ on it. His eyebrows jumped, jerk? Ruby was bullied? Just as he was to ask, he saw the girl answer the phone annoyingly, but in a tone of voice that emotion could not be heard, "Dad?" "Ruby, it''s like this, recently there''s a project over at the Finn Group that''s quite good, and we happen to have our eyes on this project. Now that you''ve confirmed that you''re going to marry Levi, can you please mention it to the Finn family, so that they can give this project to our family?" Spencer''s voice was so ingratiating that if he had a tail behind him, it would probably be wagging by now. The corners of Ruby¡¯s mouth hooked into a cold smile as she replied, "Dad, I''ll mention this matter to Levi, but I can''t be sure if the Finn family will agree to it." "Okay, okay, go ahead. They will definitely say yes." Levi is now a wastrel, so when someone is willing to marry him, the Finn family is snickering, and now they are definitely going to bashfully hold onto Ruby. As long as he thought that the Harold family would be bright in the future, Spencer could not stop his excitement. "Mom! Look at Dad!" Rita was furious. When she went to the Finn¡¯s yesterday she was left behind halfway by Ruby, and as a result, she missed the chance to get to know Lennon Finn. Spencer had clearly even promised to get justice for herself, and now what? "Well, I told you, don''t mess with Ruby for the time being, you are ady of the Harold family, don¡¯t is at your disposal. Why do you need to be angry now?" Susan raised her hand and patted the back of Rita''s hand. Rita felt slightly better hearing that, but still felt indignant in her heart, "Mom, I don''t think Ruby is that simple, if that bitch really marries into the Finn family, will she deliberately let the Finn family deal with us?" "Oh, she? She''s got that ability? She is just an illiterate and uneducated bumpkin, can she think of that much? Don''t worry, you''ll have everything she has in the future, and you''ll even be better than her. All This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. you have to do now is to be Miss Harold. In the future you are the woman who will marry Lennon Finn and be the hostess of the Finn family." Susan sneered disdainfully, not taking Ruby into ount in the slightest. "By the way, mom, when the Finn family sent over something for that bitch, I fancy a few things, can I take them?" Rita was in a very good mood when she thought that she would be the hostess of the Finn family in the future, and that Ruby would behave ording to her words. "Just take whatever you like, it''s your stuff anyway." Susan waved her hand indifferently and said as a matter of course. Chapter 28 The Face is a Good Thing Chapter 28 The Face is a Good Thing "Thanks, mom." Rita cheerfully thanked Susan and went upstairs to pick the things. The Finn family is generous and the things sent over are worth a lot of money. Rita was just waiting to wear them out to show off to her friends. Spencer only frowned at Rita and did not speak up to stop her. Susan was right, Ruby''s things belong to the Harold family''s, so there was nothing wrong for Rita to have some of them. He is now anxiously waiting for the reply from the Finn family. As long as this project is taken, the Harold family will not only upgrade the entirepany to a higher level, but also the status of their family will rise, and in the future, in Sea City, he can do whatever he wants. ** "They have promised that they will send the patient over in two hours." Dr. Mooremunicated with the other party several times before he finally finishedmunicating. Seeing that Ruby was not in a good mood after answering a phone call, he knew that it was probably the Harold family was the demons again. "I''ll have some test, just call me when he arrives." Ruby nodded and found an empty room to go in and have some rest. She had slept wellst night, she just wanted to check which project Spencer had his eye on and see if there was any room for maniption in it. When she entered the room, she locked the door before she took off the watch she was wearing on her wrist, disassembled the dial and assembled it into a miniatureputer in no time. The firewall of the Finn Group was well made, and it took some effort for her to attack it. After reading several projects that the Finn Group was holding recently, finally her eyesnded on a beauty cream project. The Harold Group has a business doing this piece of cosmetics. The Grant family used to be a family of medicine, her grandfather held a lot of court forms, including several forms for skin care. Nellie Grant was really in love with Spencer and was deceived by him, and the two very important count recipes in her hands were given to Spencer. These years, Spencer relied on the form given by Nellie to develop well in Sea City, especially in the beauty, and always had a pretty good reputation. This time, she guessed Spencer is eyeing at this project. The Finn Group''s beauty cream has taken the national patent, with pre-advertising. Before production has begun, pre-sales have already exceeded 100 million, you can imagine once it is put into production, how big the profit will be. The beauty industry was supposed to be a lucrative affair, and Spencer had yed a good game this time as intended. Ruby read it thoughtfully for a while. The technician on the Finn Group had already discovered that someone had invaded their system and started to fight back. Ruby quickly logged out of the system, wiping all traces clean before turning off theputer. "Beauty." Ruby tapped her fingers lightly on the desktop a few times before she took out her phone and sent out a message. ¡®Get in touch with the Finn Group and tell them we are interested in theirpany''stest beauty cream project and hope to coborate with them.¡¯ After Ruby finished sending the message, she didn''t wait for the other party to reply but directly put away her phone, opened the door and went out. F country, LWb headquarters. Seeing the message sent by Ruby, Jacob Houghton almost fell out of his chair. ** As Ruby came out, Dr. Moore hurriedly came in from outside with someone carrying a stretcher behind him, with a man lying on it. Ruby took a look and frowned, the man was so badly injured that he was almost down to hisst breath. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. With massive burns all over his body and already brain dead, she could tell just by looking at it that it was a miracle that he had survived this far, as he should have been forced to hang on to her breath with money. "The patient has been delivered, can we do the surgery now?" Dr. Moore saw Rubye out and hurriedly trotted over. Ruby just frowned at the man and pondered for a moment before asking Dr. Moore, "Ask them if they are willing to try thistest experimental drug of ours. This patient has been brain dead for a long time, the D3 reagent is useless, and if I operate, I will only be able to cure his trauma, not his brain death. If they are not willing to, send him back, he can''t be saved." Dr. Moore, "......" He was afraid he would be killed if he sent the patient back. But since Ruby said it was hopeless, it should mean it was hopeless. Dr. Moore faltered as he dialed Levi''s number and nced at the frosty-faced Ruby before repeating her words. Levi was in silence, his fingers tapping lightly on the car window for a long time before he spoke, "Can I speak to the doctor?" Dr. Moore hesitated for a split second, covered his phone, and looked at Ruby, "He wants to talk to you." "Okay." Ruby raised his eyebrows, but didn''t refuse. Dr. Moore handed her the phone. Ruby picked up the phone and her cool and indifferent voice rang out slowly, "Hello, this is DR.C." Levi''s hand shivered, he always felt that the voiceing out from inside the headset was inexplicably somewhat familiar. But it''s absurd and ridiculous. Even if Ruby is powerful, she cannot be the world-renowned medical genius DR.C. He is really overthinking. "May I know the main functions and effects of yourtest experimental drug? It''s going to be used on my team member, and I always have to be responsible for him." Levi didn''t change his voice, he used his original voice. Ruby recognized it after hearing a sentence. The nasty guy who broke into her hotel. She was a bit surprised that the other party''s identity was actually that special? Dr. Moore had said that this squad had made outstanding contributions to the country. The person who could make Dr. Moore say that would definitely not be an ordinary person. "The main function of this experimental drug is that it can regenerate brain cells and restore their activity. It works well for brain dead patients, and the results of the current test on mice are good, and I can''t give you a 100% guarantee on the effect of using it on humans. But the patients who are currently using this experimental medicine of ours have already awakened." Ruby put aside her grudge against Levi, and calmly spoke about the effects of the experimental medicine. Levi was full of surprise, this experimental drug actually was more perverted than the D3 reagent? Even brain death can be saved? He became more and more curious about this DR.C. By the sound of the voice, she shouldn''t be too old, and she was a woman. The medical miracle DR.C that has been rumored in the outside world is actually a woman, and no one would probably believe it. "As long as you can save him, I''ll agree to your terms." Levi only hesitated for a split second before he came to a decision. In Teddie''s current situation, no one could save him, and if the medicine Ruby said really worked to save people, he didn''t mind trying it at all. The worst that can happen is that he dies. "Good, no contact with the outside world during the treatment, but after he wakes up, I''ll have Dr. Moore take a video of you guys to put your mind at ease." Ruby appreciated the other party''s dryness and decisiveness, although this person was quite annoying, but it seemed much better than her fianc¨¦. Chapter 29 Spencers Outrage Chapter 29 Spencer''s Outrage "Get ready for the surgery." It was already six hours after Ruby had finished the operation on Teddie. Over eighty percent of Teddie''s body had been burned and the wounds had not been able to heal and were now getting progressively worse. In addition to his ribs, arm bone and leg bone were crushed and because there had been no scientific treatment, the broken bones had started to grow together and needed to be re-cracked and reattached, which was a very difficult operation. After a surgery, Ruby was as if she was deted. "I''ll sleep in theb tonight, make yourselvesfortable." Ruby was really toozy to even move, and didn¡¯t notice that her phone had automatically shut off long ago due to a dead battery. Spencer was originally in the Harold family full of joy waiting for the good news of the Finn family¡¯s cooperation project, but he had been waiting until the evening, and no news came out. He personally called to the Finn Group, only to know that the project he was eyeing at has long been signed, and the contract was drawn up in this afternoon. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Spencer was so angry, but he could not get through to Ruby''s phone, as if she was deliberately avoiding him. She was so exhausted that she slept until after two o''clock the next afternoon. It was busy inside the Institute, everyone was in a hurry. Seeing Rubye out, many people couldn¡¯t help but look at her. The reason was no other than because Ruby was young and beautiful. And she was attracting people¡¯s attention. "Who''s that woman? There''s a researcher that young at the Institute?" "Bullshit researcher, that''s a rtive of Dr. Moore. She is here to visit the institute, and it''s because she is shameless and refuses to leave. If it were me, I would have left long ago." "A rtive? I thought she is a researcher. She is pretty." "Oh, this kind of woman is good at seducing men, but when ites to research, she can¡¯t endure that loneliness." A few people passed by gossiping at Ruby. The sound was neither too loud nor too small, Ruby could just hear it. She couldn''t help but nce at the woman who had been quite critical of her. She was in her early thirties, with ordinary features, short build, somewhat fat, face covered with pockmarks and a mean look. Ruby just nced at her and withdrew her gaze, going to look for Dr. Moore. Teddie has already started the medication after the surgery yesterday, and normally, the results can be seen in seven days with the medication. "You''re up, Ruby? I have just wanted to go find you." Dr. Moore came over in a hurry, and as soon as he saw Ruby, he hurriedly puller her over. "This patient is now back to stable in all stats, and when we tested brain cell viability this morning, it checked out at fifteen percent, so we estimate that he''ll wake up in a week. It could be a little sooner if the recovery is good." Dr. Moore couldn''t stop the excitement. If Teddie managed to wake up, it would prove that their experimental drug was sessful! Ruby was also full of joy, "Get a few more patients to try the effect, if they are all able to revive, it will prove that we can put this medicine into use." After Ruby checked Teddie¡¯s physical condition, she couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Teddie''s physical condition was better than average, he should be a practitioner, and a bit different from the practitioner Ruby perceives, because during the examination, she clearly felt that there seemed to be a strange spirit in Teddie''s body, and it was because of this that he recovered so quickly. Ruby didn''t figure it out why, but it was gettingte, and she had been out for almost two days, Spencer was probably going to piss off. The thought of Spencer''s wonderful expression when he learned that the project he had his heart set on had been cut off, Ruby didn''t want to miss it. "I have things to do, I''ll leave this to you, feel free to contact me if anythinges up. But it''s best not to contact me." Ruby exined a few words to Dr. Moore, and left in a hurry. Coming out of the Institute, she turned on her phone only to find quite many missed calls. Spencer also sent several messages over to threaten her, even threatened her with her grandmother who was far away in F Country. Ruby¡¯s eyes went a few degrees colder, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she took a taxi back to the Harold¡¯s. As soon as she entered the door, he heard Spencer''s voice breaking into curses and seemed to be really angry. Ruby was in a good mood, and the worse mood Spencer was in, the better her mood was. "You dare toe back, huh?" As Ruby had just entered the door, a vase shattered in front of her. Ruby looked down and saw that it was a fake, not really worth much. "Dad, what''s wrong? Why are you so angry? Did Rita get into trouble again? Children need to be taught patiently, you shouldn''t be so angry, getting angry hurts your body." Ruby looked at Spencer with a surprised face and a worried look. "I told you to talk with Levi about the project, did you tell him?" Spencer was so angry that his chest hurt, he covered his chest and looked at Ruby, gritting his teeth in question. "I did, he was beside me when you called me, I told him, but he said that now he is an invalid, the Finn Group can be managed by him, so there is nothing he can do. If you want to cooperate, you can only go to his brother, Lennon. Dad, I think that Lennon is really wasted, and he has little motivation, so why don''t we stop marrying the Finn family, I don''t want to marry a cripple." Ruby said with aggravation, walked forward, stood in front of Spencer, and opened her mouth. Spencer''s face changed, not expecting that the Finn family had now actually taken the turn of Lennon to take the reins of power. It looked like they had to find a chance to arrange a meeting between Rita and Lennon as soon as possible. "Is it true that Lennon is in charge of the Finn family now?" Spencer suppressed his anger and looked at Ruby, not paying attention to what she said about breaking off the engagement. "Yes, I''m afraid that I won''t have much status in the Finn family in the future." Ruby said and pretended to raise her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. Spencer sneered in his heart, but he was unobtrusive on the surface. He raised his hand and patted Ruby''s shoulder, soothing, "He at least is the young master of the Finn family. You will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Your marriage with him was all set by your mother, are you going to let your mother down?" Ruby''s eyes went cold, Spencer still had the cheek to mention Nellie? "I''m sorry, dad, I know, I won''t mention this matter again." Ruby lowered her head with a resigned look. Spencer looked at her, and he suddenly smiled, "Ruby, you must feel very lonely living alone at the Finn¡¯s house, right? How about let Rita move over to keep youpany, so that you won¡¯t be lonely?" Rubyughed coldly inwardly, but on the surface, she agreed in a good and understanding manner, "Okay, thanks for being considerate, Dad, then let Rita stay with me at the Finn¡¯s" Susan gave Ruby a surprised look and wondered if this bitch would be that kind. Chapter 30 Set Her Up Chapter 30 Set Her Up "You are my daughter, if I don''t be considerate of you, who I will be considerate of? Okay, have Susan go and get Rita down, you guys go back to the Finn¡¯s early. Be obedient and be more restrained, don''t act as you were in F Country, hear me?" Spencer was very satisfied with Ruby''s performance. Although the beauty cream project was not obtained, it was good that Rita was to be able to live in the Finn¡¯s. There might be a chance for her to reach out to Lennon and take the opportunity to cultivate a rtionship with him and be the real head of the Finn family in the future. Spencer has his intention, and Susanprehended his meaning and hurriedly went upstairs to ask Rita to pack clothes to go back to the Finn family with Ruby. Ruby looked at Rita, who had followed Susan down, and the corners of her lips curled up in an evil smile. Since the Harold family was so eager to take the initiative to be abused on their own, how could she let this opportunity go? "Dad." Rita came down and sweetly called out to her dad, and then gave Ruby a smug look, as if she was already the hostess of the Finn family. Ruby did not even bother to pay attention to her. "Behave well when you go to the Finn family, okay?" Spencer was very satisfied with the daughter he had raised with his own hands. Rita was decent and generous, and was naturally much better than a wild and untamed one like Ruby. "Dad, I know. I will listen to my sister, Sister, and you will take care of me, right?" Rita promised daintily, turning her head to Ruby with a provocative smile. Ruby looked at her and was quite happy in her heart, but she just didn¡¯t know if her sister would still be able to smile after she arrived at the Finn family. "Of course, you are my sister." Susan pulled Rita and muttered some instructions before instructing the Harold family''s driver to send the two to the Finn¡¯s. "Mom, I came without telling you beforehand, you won''t me me, right?" Ruby shouted at Hattie nonchntly as soon as she entered the door. The corners of Hattie¡¯s mouth twitched, and she really didn''t know what to say in response. Ruby is really more vulgar than she imagined ...... But she quickly reacted, smiling at Ruby gently, "Here you are. This is ......" "My dad said he was afraid that I wouldn''t be used to living alone in the Finn¡¯s and had to have my sister follow me over to take care of me. Mom, you won''t me me, right?" Ruby went over and hugged Hattie¡¯s arm, ncing at the gold bracelet on her wrist, the smile on her face grew brighter and brighter. Hattie: "......" "No, no. Mary, go clean up a room upstairs ......" "Mom, there''s no need, my sister will take care of me and just sleep in my room." Ruby refused Hattie¡¯s kind offer outright. Seeing this, Hattie didn''t think much of it and nodded, and couldn''t help but look at Rita again. This firstdy of the Harold family was a well-bred one, which was known by the Sea City, just that her origin was slightly worse. "In that case, okay then." Hattie looked at the two sisters standing in front of her, byparison, she felt that Ruby was not as good as Rita. "Mom, has Levie back?" Ruby smiled sweetly, and asked in a shy, iparable whisper. Hattie felt goose bumps rise and subconsciously rubbed her arms, "Yes, he is the room." "Then I''ll go find him!" Ruby said as she let go of Hattie and ran straight upstairs. Hattie was finally relieved that she didn''t have to face Ruby, a vulgar and unpleasant inferior person. "Ma¡¯am, my sister didn''t receive a formal education since she was young, so her personality might be a bit more spontaneous. Don¡¯t bother with her, she''s actually very nice." Rita could see Hattie dislike for Ruby, naturally she wouldn''t let go of the opportunity. Hattie looked at her and felt satisfied, pulling her to the sofa and sitting down, "Rita, right? How did your sister get sent to F Country back then?" This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Who didn''t know about the Harold family''s bullshit in Sea City? Back then Ruby seemed to have made quite a stir, and Hattie, who was out of the country at the time and missed out on a big show, was quite curious. "Well ......" Rita looked at Hattie with an embarrassing face, wanting to say something but looking at her. "What! Can''t you say this?" Seeing Rita''snguid look, Hattie became more and more curious. "No, no, but if I say it, it''s not that good for my sister''s reputation, so, Ma¡¯am, you should not make it difficult for me." Rita opened her mouth, in a gesture of defending Ruby¡¯s reputation. "What''s there to hide? We''ll be family, so tell me, and I promise I won''t tell it out." The more Rita whetted her appetite, the more curious Hattie felt. Only then did she open her mouth reluctantly, "Actually, it''s five years ago, my sister had sex with a man and was caught on camera by the paparazzi. She was still underage at the time, so it was quite a big deal, and dad felt ashamed, so he kicked her out." Hattie¡¯s eyes couldn''t help but light up. She didn''t expect Ruby to have such a stain. This is great! A man like Levi deserves a woman like this! Hattie wanted to bring the wedding forward, lest something go wrong in the middle. "Ma¡¯am, don''t say that I told you, my father forbade me to talk about this matter. But my sister, she is really indomitable, originally I thought that she would be able to change for the better in F country, but she did not and I heard that she even had a wild child there." Rita had a painful face, seemingly feeling sorry for Ruby. "What! Wild child?" Hattie was really excited, and even stood up. Ruby was not a virgin, and she had even given birth to a child? "Ma¡¯am?" Rita looked at Hattie with a frightened look. It was only then that Hattie realized she had gotten overly emotional and took a deep breath to calm down. It was just that she had already thought of countless ways topletely stomp Levi down in her mind. God is on her side this time, now the Finn family ispletely her son''s, and Levi will never take it from her again! ** On the second floor, Levi¡¯s room. Looking at the uninvited guest in front of him, Levi couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows. Ruby yawned and went in, inside the headset was the voice of Rita and Hattie conversing. Rita was really doing her best to nder her and even made up that fact that she had a child. "Miss Fiancee, you want to see me?" Levi looked at Ruby, his fingers rubbing the armrest of his wheelchair, his voice with a bit of yfulness. "Well, Ie to your ce to have some quietness. I''ll sleep here tonight, don''t worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. I''ll just sleep on the sofa, I won''t grab a bed with you." Ruby crossed over Levi into the room on her own, quite nonchnt. Chapter 31 Husband and Wife Chapter 31 Husband and Wife "Heh, you''re quite nonchnt." Leviughed. Ruby was interesting, at this time he did not feel displeased about her. Ruby sat down directly on the sofa, raised her eyes, grinned at him and smiled sincerely, "Thank you for thepliment, we are going to be husband and wife. We are a pair, so no need to be polite!" "Husband and wife." Levi suddenly thought the word sounded quite pleasant. However, Ruby paid no further attention to him, after listening to Rita and Hattie¡¯s conversation for, she was a bit sleepy. When Hattie left, Rita arrogantlymanded the maids to help her carry her luggage upstairs, that posture, just like she was a hostess of the family. Rita didn''t have the slightest intention to hide it, so from inside the room, Levi could hear the arrogant voice outside the door. He couldn''t help but nce at Ruby, not thinking that she was someone with such a good temper. After all, that day at the bar, she had directly poured a ss of spiked wine into Rita''s mouth. "Ah..." Levi''s thoughts were just born when he heard Rita''s heart-breaking screamsing from over a wall away. His mouth twitched and he subconsciously nced at the woman sitting on the couch, sliding down at her phone as if nothing was wrong. "Boom, boom, boom, boom-" In less than two minutes, the door to Levi''s room was tapped with a loud bang. Ruby yawned and smiled sweetly at Levi, then got up and went to open the door. Rita at the door turned white and trembled as she looked at Ruby, gritting her teeth and questioning, "You did it on purpose, didn''t you? Ruby, did you do it on purpose? I wondered why you were so kind to give up your own room to me! You just want to get me killed! I''ll tell Dad! Just you wait! I''ll definitely tell mom and dad and let them fix you up!" Rita was so angry that she was a bit incoherent, and when she saw that face of Ruby, she wanted to pounce over and tear her apart. Ruby actually kept a snake inside her room! Hell knows how scared she was when she''d just gone in and lifted the cover to get ready to sleep when suddenly something cold crawled on top of her! This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Up to now Rita hadn''t even calmed down. Ruby looked at her with an innocent face, "Sister, what are you talking about? Weren''t you the one who wanted to sleep with me? I''m just not used to sleeping in the same bed with a stranger, so I was kind enough to give up my room to you, why are you ming me in return?" She had an innocent face, and Rita was so angry, but it was just as well that what Ruby said was the truth. "You, you, you ......" Rita was unable to say aplete sentence, her eyes red. She''d never been so aggravated in her life. Only before she even finished her words, a voice as cool as water rang out faintly behind Ruby, "Since when can my family allow an outsider to casually point at the face of my wife and scold her?" Rita froze, and then saw a young man in a wheelchair moving over. The man wore a half mask, revealing a delicate jaw. As soon as she saw Levi, Rita burst into disgust and looked at him without any semnce of fear or awe, only replying casually, "This is something between me and my sister, what does it have to do with you?" "Heh." Levi was amused by Rita''s boldness and looked at her with cold eyes, "So you mean that this matter of you yelling at my fiancee in front of me has nothing to do with me?" Rita was dumbfounded by Levi''s words. Even if the man was sitting in a wheelchair, he still had an amazing aura, Rita had limited knowledge, and the biggest figure she had seen was Hattie, where she had seen such a domineering man? There was some panic for a moment, and her eyes were red, tears were about to fall. Ruby had to admire Rita for how fast she could have tears out. "I, I was just, just scared by the snake my sister keeps inside her room, I, I ......" Levi, "......" Ruby, "......" Both men were silent for a while. Levi couldn''t help but silently nce at Ruby, seemed to be asking: You keep a snake inside your room? Ruby is speechless: no, I can exin ...... The two exchanged silent nces before Levi spoke impatiently, "It''s my woman''s freedom to keep whatever pets she wants at home, not to mention that she just keep a snake inside her room, even if she keep a nest of crocodiles, there would be no problem." Rita burped with tears and stared at Levi in a daze. She had heard Spencer say before that Levi was particrly good to Ruby and that the two had a good rtionship. Originally she had thought that Spencer had lied to her, but now it seemed that it was true. "Sister, I, I don''t mean to me you, I just, just got scared. I''m sorry, I, I''ll change the room." Rita''s tears were hanging in her eyes, which looked unspeakably pitiful. Unfortunately, there was only one man in front of her, Levi, and he was a man who didn''t know how to show mercy, so her performance was destined to be unappreciated. Ruby yawned, "Whatever you want, I''m sleeping with Levi tonight anyway." Her voice sounded a bit soft, with a bit of hoarseness that she didn''t get enough sleep, inexplicably loving and moving, stirring Levi''s heart. Somehow, it always sounded familiar, but he couldn''t remember where he had heard it before. "Sister, I know you didn''t care about this when you were in F Country, but this is H Country, you, you haven''t married Mr. Levi yet, it''s not that good to sleep with him." Rita timidly looked at Ruby, and opened her mouth to remind her with an attitude that it was for Ruby''s own good. Ruby smiled at her words and winked at Rita, "Is it bad? I think it''s quite good, to have a married life in advance. And we will live a more harmonious life when we do get married, what''s wrong with that?" Rita didn''t expect Ruby to be so direct, her face instantly reddened, and she couldn''t help but say in a small whisper, "But sister, aren''t you afraid that people will say you don''t know how to behave and don''t know shame?" "Ha." Rubyughed out loud, "Rita, if all people knew shame, your mother and Dad wouldn''t have given birth to you." With a single word, Rita''s face abruptly went white as she trembled and looked at Ruby, as if she couldn''t believe that Ruby could actually say such words. How dare she? "Also, if you know shame, you wouldn''t havee knocking on your future brother-inw''s door in broad daylight dressed like this. Tsk, what! Want to sleep together with your brother-inw tonight?" Chapter 32 Harsh Words Chapter 32 Harsh Words Rita''s face became paler. Ruby is really a country bumpkin, how could she such vulgar and unpleasant words? She nced at Levi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and she grew more and more disdainful. "How can you talk like that, sister? I, of course I don''t have any intentions towards my brother-inw." Rita had an aggrieved look, and when she spoke, she even lightly bit her lower lip and gave Levi a look. Unfortunately, Levi was like a wooden man, not receiving Rita''s eyes at all, but said, "I''m not interested in you. But it is indeed unseemly for you to dress like this. Our family has a strict discipline, since you are a guest, it is better to behave well and do not make a grace for your family." Rita''s face was pale. Feeling embarrassed, she could not wait to have a hole that she could get in. Levi was simply mean. She was clearly kind to remind him that Ruby was a woman who can sleep with any men, but he didn''t appreciate it and instead spoke for Ruby sarcastically. He deserved to only be able to have a second-hand woman like Ruby! The smile on Rita''s face couldn''t be maintained, and she almost couldn''t even say a word. "I''m, I''m tired, so I''ll just, just go back to my room." Rita almost fell away. She was severely irritated by Ruby and Levi. Ruby was in a good mood, closed the door and took the initiative to push Levi¡¯s wheelchair, "There is no one in the room, do you have to stay in the wheelchair?" Looking at the man sitting immobile in his wheelchair, Ruby asked curiously. Levi raised his eyes, his eyes hidden under the mask staring at her calmly. After a long moment, he tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked casually, "When did you know?" "There was some suspicion when we first met." Ruby was a medical student, and she was able to tell at a nce if he was paralysis. Levi''s breath was long, his face was rosy, and he didn''t look paralyzed at all. If a normal person had been paralyzed in the lower half of his body and had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, it would not have been possible for him to be like this. And it was the day before in the car when she was really sure his leg was okay. "Has anyone ever told you that it''s not good for a woman to be too smart?" Levi looked at Ruby with a wry smile. "No." Ruby recalled seriously, and answered quite honestly. This look of hers made Levi couldn''t help but curl his lips in pleasure. "Now that you know, what are you going to do? Threaten me with this, or go and expose me to gain benefits?" Levi leanedzily on his wheelchair, but his deep eyes did not leave Ruby''s face. "That''s a good idea, how much do you think about you pretending to be crippled can be worth? If I go and expose you to Hattie, how much will she give me?" Ruby tilted her head and looked at Levi, as if she was seriously considering how much this news was worth. Levi knew that she would not tell anyone about this matter, and his impression of Ruby has unconsciously changed subtly. "I suppose a lot." He smiled, casually answering the question. "But, I don''t like her, so, Mr. Fiance, you should be nice to me, and I can help you keep it hidden. Even if you want to really be a cripple to hide it from the others, I can help you too." Ruby got up and approached Levi, her fingers hooked his chin and lifted his face up. The mask was in the way, but it was easy to see that the man was good looking. Inexplicably Ruby felt that look was somewhat familiar, and she was wondering if she had seen it somewhere before, but suddenly her waist was taken by someone with force, and in the next moment she was sitting on hisp, being held tightly around the waist. Levi''s breath was wrapped in heat, more rapid than just now, with a bit of suppression and restraint, "Will you do this to other men?" The man''s voice trailed off, inexplicably sexy. Ruby felt an itch in her ears and notfortable. She felt that she had really been too careless to get close to a man and give him the opportunity to control herself. This kind of thing had never happened in the past. With a pang of chagrin, she cursed herself for letting her guard down with Levi just because he was in a wheelchair. "Of course not, aren''t you my fianc¨¦? How can other menpare to you?" Ruby replied dryly and decisively. Levi was nheless nomittal. It wasn''t like this woman had seduced someone once or twice, he''d had experience with it long ago. The woman was close to him and he could smell the fragrance of her body, and Levi, who had always been uneventful, actually had a hint of fluctuation inside. In the past few years, he hadn''t had any heartbeat towards Amelia Moore, yet he had made repeated exceptions when it came to Ruby. Levi was really a bit puzzled. His body''s reaction was always going to be more direct, and Ruby not a virgin, so she had already sensed something from the changes in Levi¡¯ body. Her body was stiff. "Mr. Fiance, will you let go of me now?" Ruby''s voice was tinged with some suppression, and the stiff reaction of her body had betrayed her mood at this moment. Levi gave her a somewhat surprised look, seeing her delicate face tensed up and her body stiffened, as if she was resisting being that close to him. He smiled and reached out to gently push her out. After Ruby stood firmly, she hurriedly stepped back, not daring to tease Levi. This man was dangerous. List him as dangerous number two for now. Number one was the shameless man in the hotel. Levi, "I didn''t expect my fianc¨¦e to be quite innocent." "Heh." Ruby gave him only a cold smile, then turned away, took out her phone and y e-games. The brief intimate encounter with Levi just now made Ruby¡¯s heart a bit chaotic, and only ying the game could vent her inner panic and crankiness. Levi has never yed games, at this time, when he watched Ruby y, he heard the faint sound of gameing out. Ruby¡¯s pretty face was slightly cold, her jaw tense. Without saying a word, she stared at the phone screen, fingers sliding on the phone screen. Ruby had been ying the game for two hours, and if Dr. Moore hadn¡¯t sent a message over to interrupt her, she could probably have continued ying. Dr. Moore sent her Teddie''s physical data, as well as the base data of the new patient receiving the experimental drug. Ruby looked at it and was finally slightly relieved. Ruby replied to Dr. Moore, and then she heard Levi¡¯s cell phone ring. The man said a few words in a low voice, his face gloomy.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Chapter 33 Almost Got Her True Face Revealed Chapter 33 Almost Got Her True Face Revealed "Is it hurt badly?" Levi''s face, which originally still had a smile on it, was cold at this time, and a lurid murderous aura was shrouded all over his body. Ruby couldn¡¯t help but look at him. Such an iron-d aura was not like what a young master raised inside a luxurious family could have. Ruby had looked up Levi, a man who had excelled since childhood, a genius with good academic performance and outstanding business talent, but within his profile, there was no mention of him having undergone any militarized training. "I''ll be right over." Levi hung up after saying a few words and moved his wheelchair to go out. Ruby followed and stood up, "It''ste, it''s not appropriate for you to go out alone, I''ll apany you out." Levi moved with a slight pause, and gave Ruby a sideways nce. Ruby just casually stroked the long hair hanging between her ears and looked at him with a nd expression, "You''re a disabled person, how are you going to exin to the people at home that you''re not sleeping at night and what you''re going out to do! It''s almost dinner time, I''ll just tell them that I want you to apany me out to dinner, no one will suspect." After a slight hesitation, Levi nodded his head and agreed. Although he wasn''t afraid of the Finn family suspecting anything, if Ruby was willing to help out it would avoid some trouble. At least he could go out openly with Ruby and not need to worry about anything else. Ruby saw him agree before she walked over and pushed his wheelchair downstairs. Rita had alreadye down earlier, probably after being rebuked by Ruby, she changed into a dress, looking like a blooming white lotus flower. "Sister, brother-inw." ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. As soon as she saw Ruby and Levie down, a sh of resentment passed through Rita¡¯s eyes, but she still got up and said hello. Ruby didn¡¯t really want to talk to her, and just pulled the corners of her mouth as a greeting. Seeing Hattie looking at herself, she only smiled and spoke, following Rita''s tone, "Mom, I want to go eat out, tonight, Levi and I won''t be eating at home, and if it''ste in the evening, we might just spend it at the hotel." A sh of disgust shed in Hattie¡¯s eyes, but she was smiling brightly, "Good, you two can eat whatever you want, and it''s okay if you don''te back tonight." "Thanks, mom." Ruby replied with a strong nausea, and pushed Levi out the door happily. Levi wanted tough when he thought of how Ruby was pretending in front of Hattie just now. In fact heughed out loud, "You''re a good actor, you studied acting in college?" "If you say so, I think I can go and enroll in an acting department now and go back school to study." Ruby replied fervently. Levi smiled and didn''t say anything. The driver was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Levie out, he helped carry the man into the car, and then folded his wheelchair and stuffed it into the trunk. Ruby got into the car and sat next to Levi. It was darkte in June, and when the car left the house, it drove directly towards the southern suburbs. Ruby leaned back in her chair and looked out at the scenery, and did not speak. Levi took two phone calls on his way, his face getting worse and worse. Ruby judged from his conversation that it seemed like someone was injured, the injury was quite serious. The doctor in Levi¡¯s hand was not capable enough to cure the man and he might be dying now. She had no meaning to meddle with, and she didn''t know Levi that well, so had no intention of help. Originally he wanted to let her get off halfway, but Levi was so anxious that he simply forgot about Ruby along the way, until the car drove into an obviously militarized base and stopped in front of a building, and only when he was about to get off did he notice that there was a person sitting next to him. There was a momentary silence in the air as Levi looked at the quiet Ruby, raising his hand to rub his somewhat swollen temples. This was their secret base, it was impossible to bring strangers in during normal times. He was really in a hurry just now, plus Ruby was too quiet and he had simply forgotten about her. "You ......" "I am okay, I can stay in the car, if you have something to do, go ahead." Ruby spread her hands indifferently. Levi exhaled slowly, "Follow me." Seeing this, Ruby did not object and obediently got out of the car with Levi. The building could not be seen in the darkness, and only after entering did she find that it was brightly lit inside. The entrance was a huge hall, which at this time had a number of people gathered inside. Seeing that Levi had arrived, the crowd was somewhat excited toe forward, only when they saw Ruby following behind Levi, their faces couldn''t help but change, their steps pausing as they looked at Ruby warily. Ruby sensed everyone''s rejection and unwee treatment of her, but she didn''t care, she just slowly followed Levi inside, taking a look around. The whole hall is divided into several areas, and she can see the area for shooting, the area for sports and fitness, and the ring and other facilities, which is probably a small training ce. The group had a bit of a rush in their breath, so they should have just been on training and hadn''t calmed down yet. "Chief, why are you bringing a stranger in?" Someone asked, Ruby was observing the surroundings and she heard someone speak in an unpleasant tone. Levi nced at the man, not meaning to introduce her, but only asked lightly, "Where is the person?" "Over there, chief, the team doctor said he hurt his pericardium, and it''s toote to send him to the hospital." The man who spoke was estimated to be over five foot nine, wearing an I-beam vest and a powerfully muscled body, and his voice was vibrating as he spoke. Ruby was surprised, what training could still be fatal and actually hurt the pericardium? That really can''t be moved, and it''s certainly hard to save people in the limited conditions. As she was thinking about it, Levi had already walked over to that person with quick steps. Ruby saw the teenager lying on the ground covered in blood, looking at most only sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, if he did not stop the bleeding and have resuscitation as soon as possible, it was estimated that he would die in half an hour. Ruby couldn¡¯t help but frown. She didn''t really want to meddle in. Levi''s identity was not simple, excluding the heir of the Finn family, there might be hidden identities. These people were all bloodthirsty, and at a nce, they were existences who had been living in fighting for years, not ordinary people. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw that Levi had already squatted down. "Chief, he is dying, he must be taken to the hospital immediately." A young man spoke up somewhat anxiously, his eyes red. Levi¡¯s face was gloomy as he looked at the teenager in front of him without speaking. "Chief ......" Everyone else came forward in droves. Levi, however, looked back at Ruby, "You ......" He remembered that Ruby used silver needles well, so she should know something about medicine, but only when he opened his mouth, he felt that Ruby could not save people. Chapter 34 Reveal Her True Face Chapter 34 Reveal Her True Face "Let me take a look." Ruby saw that look in Levi''s eyes, and also saw the teenager lying on the ground. She inexplicably thought of the teenager who had fallen in front of her back in F Country. He was also the age but she was too limited in her abilities and medical skills to save him, and could only watch him bleed out and eventually die in front of her. It was also at that time that Ruby realized how important it really was to study medicine. At least you won''t be powerless when someone you care about is dying. She took a deep breath and knelt down beside Levi, reaching out to press the wound on the teenager''s chest. "What are you doing!?" Before Ruby''s hand could touch the teenager, she was roughly pushed away. It was the tall five-foot-nine man who had questioned her when she hade in at the beginning. Ruby was unprepared and was directly pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground, her shoulder hurting. These guys are practiced, incredibly strong, and don''t care if she is a woman. With that blow, Ruby estimated that her shoulder was bruised. "Do you want him to die?" Ruby raised her head, her gaze coldly locked with the tall man. The man opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Levi in a cold voice: "Alfred! That''s enough!" Alfred was full of reluctance, but Levi had opened his mouth, he could only bear it, but in the end, he was worried that Ruby would kill the teenage, so he muttered, "Regan''s injuries are very serious, even the team doctor said there was no way, she ......" He didn''t go on with the rest of his words, but it was obvious to anyone. The team doctor is a high achiever from a proper medical university, his strength is obvious to all, even he said there was no way, what could Ruby, a young woman, do? And she came with Levi, everyone can''t understand it. Levi has always been sensible in the past, how can he actually be so confused this time and bring a woman to the base? "Let her try." Levi''s face sankpletely, and it looked like he was hell-bent on protecting Ruby. Alfred red at Ruby, not expecting that Levi would be confused by a woman. Ruby ignored them, got up from the ground, went over and grabbed the teenager¡¯s hand and took his pulse, his breath was like a wandering silk. She looked at the wound, the injury was a knife wound, the dagger had pierced directly into the heart, piercing the left ventricle. The knife should still have a barb on it, and when it was pulled out, it caused a secondary injury. The injury was very serious, not just a problem of blood loss, the heart had to be stitched up as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences were unthinkable. "He has to be operated on immediately, and the condition is not good enough here. Do you have a matching operating room here?" Ruby quickly took out the needle bag and fished out the silver needles to first seal the acupuncture points near the wound and control the bleeding, before twisting her head to ask Levi. Looking at the girl''s clear, calm eyes, Levi''s heart suddenly settled down, and he believed her. There was no reason for it, just an inexplicable trust that she would be able to save the person. "You ......" Alfred still wanted to tell Ruby not to waste time, not to mention harming the person. Levi had then spoken, "Take him to the operating room." The base, of course, has a supporting operating room upstairs, which is equipped with the most sophisticated equipment in H Country, better than those in the tertiary hospitals. When Alfred opened his mouth, even if he was no longer convinced, he didn''t dare to say anything more, so he had to obediently arrange for people to lift up Regan, who was lying on the ground, and send him to the operating room upstairs. "How much certainty do you have?" Levi walked beside Ruby, looking at the girl¡¯sposed side face, pursing his lips before speaking softly. "It is not a big problem, but he has lost a lot of blood and may need a transfusion, so have someone ready, they may need to draw blood at any time. Also, I need someone to help, I assume you have a This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. doctor here, arrange for two of them to me." Ruby steps lightly and looks very rxed, as if for her, it is a simple stitching operation, not difficult at all. However, this level of surgery is really not difficult for Ruby, after all, she is known as a surgical sage, nicknamed Ghost Knife. "Okay." Levi didn''t ask Ruby what she wanted to do, he just blindly trusted her. The two soon arrived at the operating room on the second floor. Levi instructed the team doctor, Austin, to follow him in to help, and arranged for another team member to go in. Ruby had changed into a sterile surgical gown and was cleaning her hands and putting on disposable medical gloves. When she saw the peoplee, she didn''t look at them for too long but instructed, "One person will help me pass the apparatus, the other one will wait aside, if I say I need a blood transfusion, go outside and call someone with type O blood." The two of them looked at each other, but since Levi believed Ruby, they chose to believe her, so they just had to behave themselves. Ruby¡¯s aura was different after she put on the sterile gown, especially when she picked up the scalpel, Austin had the illusion of seeing a super powerful man. The operation went very smoothly without any mistakes, and two hourster, the operation was over and Ruby came out of the operating room with an exhausted face. Levi watched here out and instinctively straightened up, his eyes burning at her. The girl''s face was somewhat pale, she was still wearing the same white shirt as she came in, at this time, sensing his gaze, she looked up at him, licking her somewhat dry lips and speaking faintly, "He is fine and will wake up in half an hour." "Are you kidding?" Alfred had a face of disbelief. How can it be that? Obviously Austin has said it''s hopeless ...... Ruby ignored him and just looked at Levi, "Now can we go home?" "Yeah." Seeing Ruby''s exhausted look, Levi nodded, stepped forward and reached out to support her. Ruby¡¯s body stiffened slightly, but there was really little strength left, so she had to lean on his body and let him support her into the elevator and down the stairs to leave. "Oh my God! What did I see! Chief''s woman?" "No, isn''t Chief''s girlfriend Miss Moore? What''s going on here?" "Alfred, do you know what''s going on? Who was that woman just now?" A group of people had been holding their breath all the way, and only when they saw that Levi had left did they dare to chatter and gather around to ask questions. Alfred was too upset to pay them any attention, only to think of Levi''s intimate look with Ruby and feel sorry for Amelia. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Amelia: Miss Moore, our chief came to the base today, and there was a young girl with him. He felt better only after he had sent it, and led the way to the ward to see Regan. As Levi had just helped Ruby out of the door, his phone rang. Looking at the iing call, Levi narrowed his eyes, and then looked at Ruby beside him, ignoring it. Chapter 35 The Delicate Little White Lotus Chapter 35 The Delicate Little White Lotus Amelia pinched her bloodless fingertips, looking down at the phone screen until the screen light went out, the phone was always unanswered. She bit her lower lip lightly, her pretty lip shape was slightly distorted by the bite, and her cold face looked very fragile. For the first time, Levi didn''t answer her calls. Because of the woman Alfred said? Who is she? Amelia''s mind was a little irritated, and for the first time she felt that things were out of her control. Five years, why it had a problem now? She was in an irritable mood, and called again. This time the phone was picked up, the man''s low, cold, dry voice came through the phone, softened by the current tone, sounding indescribably low and gentle, making Amelia''s heart beat faster. With some aggravation and resentment, she muttered in a small voice, "Why didn''t you answer my call?" Levi looked at Ruby who had already fallen asleep, his cold expression was softened by the dim light, and his eyes were not as cold and sharp as they always were, but had more tenderness. Listening to Amelia''s clearly whining words, he tugged at the corners of his mouth before replying softly, "I was upied, what''s wrong? Who upset you?" It was his usual tone of voice, and Amelia felt steadied, without the panic and unease she had felt before. "I always feel uneasy in my heart when I don''t find you. Levi, we ......" Amelia wanted to ask Levi when exactly he would marry her. It had been five years, and he hadn''t had intention, always making Amelia unable to figure out what he really thought in his heart. "Good girl, now not, when the timees, I will naturally bring you back." All of Levi''s patience was used on Amelia. Since he had slept with her five years ago, he had to be responsible for her. After all, his mother''s vocal teachings before she died were still ringing in his ears. Ralph can be a scumbag and irresponsible, but he can''t. "But I''m afraid, you''re so good and so dazzling, surrounded by so many girls. I have nothing but you, if you don''t want me, what am I going to do?" Amelia''s voice was with worry. Levi looked aghast before slowly exhaling a breath, "There won''t be anyone else, just you." That was the promise he made to Amelia. "I haven''t seen you in a long time, can you take the time to meet me? I can''t even meet my boyfriend. I don''t know how I''m going to answer when people ask me." With this promise from Levi, a smug smile surfaced on her face, and she squeezed her phone again, petntly pampering herself with Levi. "The day after tomorrow, nottely." Only after Levi had appeased Amelia did he hang up the phone. Once he turned around, he saw that Ruby, who was originally sleeping against the back of the chair, had woken up, and at that moment, those dark eyes were looking at himself sullenly. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Levi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruby, "Do you have the habit of eavesdropping?" "Eavesdropping?" Ruby raised her eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of her lips. Levi didn''t avoid her but spoke so openly in front of her, so she was forced to listen to the conversation. "Mr. Fianc¨¦, correction, I don''t really want to hear you talk, you''re the one who has to be here, and I haven''t minded you making noise for my rest." "You have a hot temper." Levi snickered and looked at Ruby¡¯s delicate side face. The girl''s face was pale, apparently overexerted, and she looked a little weak, and at that moment her eyebrows were collected with a coldness that seemed to be very impatient. "Drop me off downtown, I have something to do." Ruby yawned, with little desire to chat. Performing an operation on Regan just now was not a light exertion, and not she was tired at this moment. Her temper became bad when she was tired, especially when she was woken up while sleeping, at this time, there was a dryness between her eyebrows, if it wasn''t bad to make a move, it was estimated that she would have toy her hand on Levi. She closed her eyes after finishing a sentence, with a very tired look, and the words that came to his lips were finally withdrawn, not bothering her. The car drove slowly, the mountain road was t, but there were quite a few curves, and the driver drove the car very steadily for fear of waking the girl in the back seat who had her eyes closed. Half way through Alfred''s call came, his excited voice could barely be concealed and could be heard clearly through the phone, "Chief, Chief, Regan is awake! He''s really awake! Austin said that his injuries are no longer serious, as long as he rests well, he will be able to get out of bed in ten days or a half months! Chief, who is thatdy? Howe she''s so good at healing? Ask her if she wants to join us in District 7, she''s better than even Austin''s medical skills, maybe even better than Austin''s teacher!" Alfred''s attitude now had a huge shift from earlier. If he had known that Ruby¡¯s medical skills were so powerful, he would have worshiped her. Levi nced at the girl who was sleeping on the side, it seemed that she had been disturbed by the sound, she frowned impatiently and looked like she was about to wake up. Without hesitation, Levi hung up Alfred''s call, and muted the phone. Ruby didn¡¯t sleep soundly, she was already awake when Alfred¡¯s call came. It was quiet inside the carriage, Levi didn''t bother Ruby, and Ruby didn''t bother to open her eyes, until the car drove into the city center, Ruby opened her eyes, and her clear voice rang out faintly inside the carriage, "Stop right here." Levi nced at her, did not refuse. The driver found a spot to park, Ruby pull open the car door and get out. "I''m not going back to the Finn¡¯s recently, but I''ll be back before the wedding." Ruby pulled the straps of her backpack after getting off the car. She did not turn around to look at Levi but walked quickly into the crowd. She had a lot of things going on back home, and in addition to the Institute, there was a lot of things to take care of on thepany, and she was very busy. Levi looked at the direction Ruby left for a while, the corners of his lips hooked, and only after a long time did he speak faintly, "Drive." "Mr. Levi, where to?" The driver asked cautiously. "Go home." ** After getting out of the car, Ruby finally entered a cafe. Inside the quietpartment, a woman with delicate eyebrows and apetent look handed over a document, then reported the situation in a stereotypical manner, "Thepany has been registered ording to your request, the equipment has all arrived at the moment and is ready for production, but the technician has not been found for the moment. Miss Harold, there are manypanies doing medicinal cosmetics in H Country, we don''t have any advantages, so starting from zero , our situation will be very passive, you''d better reconsider." "No, the technician will be at the factory in three days, you''ll be in charge of reception. I''ll send the recipe to your emailter, and you go ahead and register the patent. You don''t need to take care of the rest, just leave it to me." Ruby picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, the corners of her lips curled into a wan smile. Seeing that Ruby did not listen to her advice, the woman had to give up and did not say anything more. Chapter 36 I Want You Chapter 36 I Want You Aftering out of the cafe, Ruby put on her cap, stopped a taxi and went directly to the TD Garden Community in the north of the city. Five o''clock in the afternoon was just the rush hour, and there were many peopleing in and out of the neighborhood. Ruby stood on the curb, waiting quietly, lifting her wrist every now and then to nce at the time. The time was just past five minutes past six when a thin, elderly man waddled up to the entrance of the neighborhood leading his grandson. Ruby gaze paused on the little boy, then lifted her foot and walked over. "Mr. Murphy, shall we talk?" She went straight to the point, not even bothering to beat around the bush. Evan Murphy looked at the young girl in front of him and waved his hand somewhat impatiently, "Nothing to talk about, and I am busy, go away." "Mr. Murphy, you haven''t made the recipe yet, are you willing to give up just like that?" Ruby looked at Evan, not surprised at all by his answer, she had known for a long time that he would definitely refuse. As expected, after hearing her words, Evan''s calm face suddenly changed, his eyes widened as he looked at the young girl in front of him for a long time before he spat out, "What is your rtionship with Logan Grant?" "He is my grandfather." Seeing Evan''s expression, Ruby knew that he had been shaken. She was holding several ancient recipes, and Evan was the first person in medical cosmetics in H Country back then, his skills were obvious to all. As long as he was willing toe out, just by relying on his reputation, the finished products made would be enough to make countless people follow. "Let''s go up and talk." Evan''s gaze fell on Ruby for a long time before he spoke. Ruby nodded and followed him into the neighborhood, and the two of them stepped up the stairs. He lived on the fifth floor, and Evan is old with serious problems in his legs, so walking up the stairs is a kind of torture. Ruby followed behind and saw it clearly, but she just quietly followed up the stairs. "Andy, go find your grandmother." When he entered the house, Evan sent his grandson to his grandmother, while he himself led Ruby into his room, and closed the door. "What exactly do you want!?" Although Evan was old, he wasn''t confused. The Grant family had fallen now, and Logan Grant had passed away a few years ago. Although he was not clear about the details of what happened to Nellie back then, he knew more or less, and knew that everything of the Grant This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. family had been taken away by Spencer. He didn''t have much confidence in Ruby, who was only a child to him even if she held the form in her hand. "I hope that you can help me, Mr. Murphy." Evan was straightforward, and Ruby also spoke very bluntly. Evan frowned, ''''Help you? Even if I''m willing to help, what can you do! Now the market of medical cosmetics has been monopolized by several big names in H Country and abroad, what do you think we can do! It''s good for young people to have dreams, but you can''t be overly ambitious, have you understood the domestic market before you made your decision?" "Sure. I''ve already investigated it before I returned to H Country, the best selling medical cosmetics brands in H Country today are the Herbal Form from R Country. There are also two brands in H Country that sell well, under the banner of the court''s skin care form, and one of them is the Harold family. I''m not boasting, but since I dare to do medicinal cosmetics, I naturally have a sure win. Mr. Murphy, don''t reject me in a hurry, you can have a look at my father¡¯s form before you decide whether you want to help me or not. I''ll wait for you." Ruby spoke eloquently with a confident face and directly took out an ancient recipe after finishing speaking and handed it to Evan. Evan was stunned, not expecting something important to be given to him directly. "My factory is ready to go, the production line is ready to go, and thepany had finished the registration. The patent for the Closed Moon Flower is already in the process of being applied for, and should be able to settle down when you''ve your mind decided. Mr. Murphy, you and my grandfather are best friends, you should know what''s in his heart. I sincerely hope you can help me. I don''t want his achievement fall into the hands of outsiders, and I''m returning to H Country because I want to take back everything that belongs to the Grant family." After Ruby finished speaking, she bowed to Evan and didn¡¯t say much else. By the time she left, Evan was still unable to return to his senses, just looking down at the recipe in his hand, feeling a thousand pounds heavy. He''s almost seventy. Can he still apany the young people to fight for a future? He shook his head, looked at the recipe in his hand again, and sighed. After Ruby went out from TD Garden Community, she went straight to thepany. Thepany''s name is also overbearing, and it''s called Shy Flower Pharmacy. Morgan''s ability to get things done was efficient, and the location of thepany was in a quiet ce in the middle of a downtown area, a separate quadrangle with antique d¨¦cor, very much in line with the style of theirpany''s products. "Miss Harold." Morgan had just returned from taking care of things, and when he saw Rubye, he took her on a tour of thepany by the way. Thepany''s facilities are very well equipped, the equipment in the R&D room is the most sophisticated in the world, and they even brought over a few precision instruments from theb. Thepany currently has a few employees, and Morgan is still recruiting, but it''s not difficult to recruit people, it''s the technical support that''s hard. "Miss Harold, the patent registration has been submitted, three dayster the result wille out. The factory is already recruiting, the technology ......" Morgan looked at Ruby with slight hesitation, wanting to say something. "Hire a few basicb technicians, fresh graduates are eptable, but it is best to have some experience, I''ll take care of the rest." Ruby interrupted Morgan¡¯s words. She was confident in the recipe for the Closed Moon Flower, as long as Evan read it, he would definitely be willing to help. Even if he didn¡¯t read the recipe, Ruby was sure he woulde, after all, his rtionship with Logan Grant was not as simple as it appeared. Seeing how confident Ruby was, Morgan was much relieved. "That project with the Finn Group that was taken over at headquarters has been transferred to you, so do your best, and help me pay more attention to the movements at the Harold Group during this period of time. Notify me at the first opportunity if there is any movement." Ruby will not only take back everything Spencer has snatched away, she wants Spencer to be left with nothing and in pain. Everything he had done to Nellie back then, Ruby would get it all back, with interest. "Yes, I''ll do a good job." Morgan felt a heavier burden on his shoulders, and at the same time, he was vaguely excited. After the two men visited thepany, they left together. Morgan still needed to go over to the factory and catch up on the recruitment, while Ruby had something to do. The two parted ways at the intersection. As Ruby was just about to call a taxi, she saw that it seemed to be a person on the ground not far from the intersection. She frowned, walking towards that direction. Chapter 37 Hypocrisy Chapter 37 Hypocrisy This area of Fanjiang Road is themercial center, the busiest downtown area of Sea City, with a very dense flow of people. And this location of Ruby happened to be the quietest one in the middle of the downtown, because it was a high-end residential area with a very strict security system, so outsiders could note in at all. Only when she got closer did she see that there was indeed a woman lying on the ground, an old woman wearing a short grey jacket, and at that moment huddled on the ground, making little sound. "Are you okay?" Ruby shouted tentatively, receiving no response. She looked up and around, there was surveince nearby and she didn''t have to worry about getting ckmailing. The temperature in June in Sea City is very high, especially the ground temperature, eggs are able to bake when thrown on the ground. She stepped forward and helped the old woman up, but when she got a look at her face, she couldn''t help but be surprised. She can''t believe it''s an acquaintance. Levi''s grandmother, Isabe. At this time, her eyes were tightly closed, her face was blue, her lips were pale, and her breath seemed to be absent, as if she was about to die. Ruby was only briefly taken aback before she grabbed her pulse. Sudden myocardial infarction. She had been in aa for a bit too long, which should have been caused after the great stimtion, and if she hade a bitter, Isabe would probably die. After determining the cause of the disease, Ruby didn¡¯t dare to hesitate, hurriedly fished out the needle bag, drew three silver needles, peeled away the old woman¡¯s clothes, and stabbed down the silver needles in her hand. The end of the silver needle trembled gently. Ruby twisted the silver needle and fished out a white porcin bottle from inside her pocket, poured a small reddish-brown pill out and stuffed it into the old woman¡¯s mouth, pping her hard on the back to make her swallow the pill. Only after that was done did she pick the woman up off the floor. ** On the hospital bed, Isabe slowly opened her eyes after a coughing fit. All around her was white, and the familiar smell of sterile water between her nostrils reminded her that this was a hospital. She''s not dead? Her eyes nced around inside the ward beforending on the girl sitting to the side looking down at her phone. The sunlight fell on her body, making her look as if she was gilded with ayer of golden light, dazzling. Isabe looked at her steadily for a while before recognizing that the girl in front of her was actually her grandson''s fianc¨¦e, that bumpkin Ruby of the Harold family. The look of surprise she had been carrying was suddenly gone, but she had the disgusting feeling like This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. having eaten a fly. "How is it you?" The olddy was not young, but her was full of energy, and she looked like she was really fine, looking at Ruby with a look of contempt and disdain. Ruby put down her phone and gave the old woman a look. The old woman''s face was a lot rosier, she looked to be in good shape, and had the strength to yell at her. "Um, it''s me." She replied casually, lifting her hand to ring the bedside bell and call the doctor. The olddy didn''t like her, and she had no intention of trying to please her, after all, marrying Levi was only a stop-gap measure, and sooner orter they would still separate. Isabe became more and more discontented for her attitude. Sure enough, she was from the countryside with no upbringing at all! The door to the ward was pushed open and a doctor entered with two nurses in tow with hurried steps. Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Ruby retreated quietly. After the doctor finished examining Isabe, he looked at her with an awe-inspiring expression, "Ma¡¯am, you are really lucky. There is nothing wrong with your health, you can be discharged immediately." "Oh, if your doctors hadn''t resuscitated me properly, I might not have been fine even if I had been brought here in time. You don''t need to speak for her." Isabe only took it as the doctor was saying that she was lucky that she just happened to meet a kind person who brought her to the hospital, so she was very dismissive. The doctor froze for a moment, looking at Isabe for a long time before speaking, "No, we did nothing, you were already resuscitated when you were sent here. All vital signs were normal, it was the girl who sent you here that said you had a bit of heatstroke and needed an infusion to replenish the saline, so we gave you an infusion, nothing else was done." "What did you say!?" Isabe couldn''t believe her ears. So she wasn''t saved by the hospital doctor? She was saved by that Ruby? How could that be possible? How could she be capable of saving? In her heart, Isabe did not believe it, only thinking that she was really lucky and had nothing wrong with her health, so she was safe and sound. Ruby didn¡¯t have the time to care what was in Isabe¡¯s heart. She had a lot of things to do and had no time to please someone who was not important. Aftering out of the hospital, Ruby went straight back to Shangcheng International Building. Just as she reached the door, her feet couldn''t help but lurch. What kind of bad karma is this? She can''t believe she met that pervert again! Levi: "......" The corners of Levi''s mouth couldn''t help but twitch as he looked at Ruby who suddenly appeared in front of him. Jared had a yful look on his face, his gaze swept back and forth between Ruby and Levi, and finally pressed his voice and said in Levi''s ear, "Your fianc¨¦e is quite capable, she even came her to find you. It looks like she really loves you." "Shut up!" Levi spat out these two words through clenched teeth, his gaze falling coolly on Ruby. Ruby just nced at him and simply ignored him, lifting her foot into the door. She was tired from her day and now just wanted to go back to her apartment and take a shower and Levi watched as she walked past his face without looking at him, the corners of his lips hooked, and he also lifted his feet to follow. The two entered the elevator one after the other, Ruby raised her hand to press the key, and when Levi was just about to move, he looked at the floor number and fell silent. Is it really that coincidental? She lives here too, and on the 18th floor, just like himself? Jared couldn''t help but poke Levi, prompting Levi to give him a fierce re. The elevator went up and soon stopped on the eighteenth floor. Ruby lifted her foot out of the elevator and saw that Levi had followed her out as well. She paused in her steps and looked back at Levi, her tone not too polite, "Hey, you''re not going to tell me that you live here too, are you?" "Heh, it''s quite a coincidence." Levi sneered and replied. Ruby raised her eyebrows, took out her ess card and walked towards her apartment, Levi watched her movements with deep eyes. Jared watched Ruby enter the door before he rambled in Levi ears, "No way? She really lives here? And next door to you? The apartments in Shangcheng International are very expensive, more than 400,000 per square meter, right? This apartment is worth tens of millions, can she afford it?" He said and hammered Levi, and then added, "It seems that your fiancee have a rich man behind her, it is for sure. Do you think that the man wille tonight? Will we hear something exciting?" Before Jared could finish his words, the door was viciously mmed shut. Chapter 38 Kinda Hilarious Chapter 38 Kinda Hrious "Damn, Levi, are you kidding? I don¡¯t mean it, why are you so angry? You don''t really have feelings for your fiancee, do you? Are you jealous?" Jared fumed at the door for a moment before finally getting in. As soon as he entered, he stared at Levi and looked the man up and down. Levi''s cold, sharp gaze faintly swept over his body, and Jared instantly felt his body''s cold hairs stand up, a feeling of being stalked by a viper. He didn''t dare to be naughty again and said, "Come on, I didn''t say anything, OK? First, the medicine you inquired about, there''s news. Someone from the Levi has taken the order and said that the results will be avable within three months." This news was indeed quite important, and Levi squared up, "Did you find out who took the order?" "How is that possible? It''s not like you don''t know the rules of the Levi, and it''s impossible to find out the identity of the other party. The person who cane up with this kind of medicine might be from those ces, who dares to offend?" Jared spread his hands out, looking like he couldn''t do anything about it. Levi pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, unable to stop thinking about this matter. "Levi, if you really get that medicine, you''ll be able to recover." Jared looked at Levi with aplicated expression. A serious ident four years ago led to a problem with Levi''s pain nerves, and over these years, he found a lot of experts, but it did not work. Originally he thought there was no hope, but suddenly there is news. Levi tugged at the corner of his mouth, looking unconcerned. Jared chatted with him for a while, and seeing that it was gettingte, he excused himself and left. He couldn''t help but nce at Ruby¡¯s doorway as he left. Unfortunately, the door was closed and there was no telling if there was a man inside or not. ** In Room 1801, Ruby took a bath and put on a white T-shirt before sitting in front of theputer desk and turned on theptop on it. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Theputer booted up very quickly, in a second, it was on. Ruby clicked a red spider logo on it and a webpage popped up with a few unread messages, she ignored it and just opened her task list. All the recent quests are pretty much done, just missing the one she picked up three days ago out of boredom. What the other side wants is actually a neurotoxin that stimtes neurons to develop the potential of the human brain. This neurotoxin was rare, and she happened to get one by chance and kept it unused. The price the other side offered was quite high and she happened to be short of money. After staring at the avatar of the person who posted the task for a while, Ruby replied a message, "Address, medicine will be delivered in three days." Red Net is an international ck market-like tradingwork, very mysterious, in which almost everything can be bought, all kinds of information, some strange effects of medicine, medicinal materials. Ruby closed the webpage after sending the message, opened several files on top of theputer again, looked at the trend of the various broad markets, before she yawned and prepared to go to bed. Jared had just gotten into his car and his phone dinged, alerting him that a message hade in. He took out his phone and almost didn''t jump up in excitement when he saw the sign on it. "It actually only takes three days? Shit, what kind of big shot is this person!" Jared couldn''t help but be shocked as he looked at the message. That kind of neurotoxin was very rare, only carried in a poisonous sea fish below 50,000 meters in the deep sea, and one such fish carried only about one milligram of the toxin. The bounty he had posted on top of the Red Net was for one gram! He didn''t expect the other party to get it so soon. He pressed down his excitement and his fingers trembled as he replied the message. There is only one address on it and one contact: 1802, Building 1, Shangcheng International A, Sea City, H Country. Tel 18XXXXXXX. After replying the message, Jared didn''t hold back and slid the page dozens of times, but unfortunately, the other party didn''t even reply the message again. After determining that the other party wouldn''t reply, Jared couldn''t help but be disappointed, but happily sent a message to Levi to report the good news. The next day, Ruby got up early. It was shining and the temperature was just right. It was only after stretching that she got up, washer her face and then sat down in front of herputer and turned it on. The red spider logo has a red dot above it, indicating that a message hase in. Ruby took a piece of bread and clicked the icon to bring up that webpage. It was a message from the man called ¡®newspaper seller¡¯, with only an address and a phone number. Ruby clicked opened the dialog box, looked at the address, and fell into a long silence. The person who bought this neurotoxin is actually her neighbor? Her fianc¨¦, Levi? She was really not expecting it to be him. After staring at the dialog box for a while in silence, Ruby exited the conversation, then found the list of tasks, pulled out the one being taken, then clicked cancel, returned the money, and then blocked the number of ¡®newspaper seller¡¯. The operation was done smoothly without any dy, and after it was done, Ruby turned off the Regardless of what exactly Levi wanted this neurotoxin for, one gram of it was enough to kill more than half of the people in the entire city. It''s better not to give something that dangerous out casually, lest she identally harms someone. Ruby changed her clothes with peace of mind, put on her cap, and went out humming a song. She needed to make a trip to Sea City University today to pick up something. As she opened the door, the opposite door also opened. Levi was wearing a solid ck handmade shirt, ascetic and stylish. Seemingly sensing Ruby¡¯s gaze, he looked up lightly, his calm gaze bumping into her eyes. "Good morning, fianc¨¦." Ruby smiled naturally at Levi and lifted her hand in greeting. Levi withdrew his gaze, closed the door and went straight to press the elevator key. When Ruby saw that he was not paying attention to her, she did not say anything, and with her hands in her pockets, she leisurely followed behind Levi. The elevator soon arrived and the two men went in one after the other. The elevator was small and the air smelled pleasant with a faint scent of sandalwood. Ruby leaned her back against the wall, her eyes looking up and down at Levi. The man still wore a silver mask on his face today, not in a wheelchair, but wore a pair of ck suit pants of the same color underneath. He looked rxed and unrestrained, quite like a mboyant nobleman. As she was watching carefully, she suddenly heard the man''s soft voice ringing in her ears, "Have you seen enough?" A low, cold voice that was indescribably sexy, but oozing with the ultimate danger. Ruby straightened her back, and a momentary sh of embarrassment crossed her delicate face, like she had been found when she was having done something bad. Chapter 39 First Time Met Amelia Chapter 39 First Time Met Amelia "Well, almost." After a brief moment of awkwardness, Ruby returned to her normal self and casually answered Levi¡¯s words. Leviughed out lightly and when he was just about to speak, the door of the elevator opened just in time. Ruby crossed him and was about to go out, but the man reached out with his big hand and yanked her right back. Ruby staggered two steps before standing firm and frowned at Levi. The man''s delicate jaw was taut, his expression unreadable through the mask. "What! Are you thinking that I''m irresponsible for just looking at you, so you expect me to do something physical to you inside the elevator?" Ruby raised her eyebrows and moved her body closer to Levi. Levi immediately felt as if the arm he was gripping in his hand was like a burning hot, and let go of his hand, while also taking two steps back. Ruby smiled brightly at him after she got her way, "It looks like you''re still quite innocent, Mr. Fiance, I''ll leave now, see you some other time." Taking advantage of Levi release, Ruby exited the elevator and waved at him with a big smile. Levi''s pupils couldn''t help but deepen, his gaze coldly looking at the woman in front of him. Apart from Amelia, this was the second woman, who came close to him without making him feel disgusted. Levi watched Ruby''s back for a few seconds before he exited the elevator. Jared''s call came just in time, and Levi had just exited the elevator. Levi picked up the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Jared''s cries, "My order is returned! It''s been withdrawn! I''m probably the first person in the history of the Red Net to have taken and then returned!" Levi couldn''t help but raise his eyebrows, "It has been returned?" "Right! Yesterday that G asked for my address and I sent her that it is in Shangcheng International Apartments, only to find the order had been returned this morning and the money returned." Jared''s voice sounded disappointed. Levi was silent, not knowing what to say, always felt that this matter was odd. Red Net has its rules, no one ever backs out of an order they take unless it''s really impossible to Last night Jared told him that he would be able to get the medicine in three days, only to have the order returned early this morning? And it was after his address was sent. It''s really hard not to think about it more. As Levi thought about it, Ruby had already arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood and got into a car to head to Sea City University. Levi said a few words to Jared before hanging up the phone and looking at the road in front of him. ** Sea City University is one of the TOP 10 universities in H Country, and the world''s ranking can barely squeeze into the top 50, which is considered one of the top university institutions in H Country. The car stopped at the entrance of the university, Ruby pulled open the car door and got off, looked up at the magnificent school gate in front of her, and was silent for a moment before lifting her feet and walking in. She was dressed down and didn''t look like a student, so naturally she drew a lot of attention. "Amelia, you seem to be looking quite down today, what''s wrong? Did you not sleep wellst night?" On the wooded path, several girls walked in a group, one of them in a white dress looking disheveled and visibly depressed. Hearing the question asked by her friend beside her, Amelia reluctantly looked up and nced at her friend, but she unintentionally glimpsed a figure and couldn''t help but shudder hard. How could it be her? As she pushed away the girl in front of her, her pupils couldn''t help but shrink. No mistake, it''s really her! What''s that woman doing here at Sea City University? She actually went back to her country? And came to Sea City? A sudden twinge of tension grew in Amelia''s heart. With an effort to suppress the worry in her heart, she walked quickly towards that woman, and as if there was no doubt, her shoulder bumped into her "Oops." Ruby was walking, feeling the atmosphere of the university campus, but suddenly she was bumped into. Looking at the girl who had fallen to the ground in front of her, her arm scraped, Ruby''s good-looking eyebrows couldn''t help but wrinkle. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out and pulling the person up. "Are you okay?" Looking at the bright and beautiful face of the girl in front of her, Ruby had a strange sense of familiarity. Amelia clutched her clothes nervously and sized up Ruby''s face. The face was so good looking, so she could never be mistaken. It''s really that woman from that night! A hint of nervousness grew in Amelia''s heart, and she swallowed hard before speaking, "I, I''m fine, sorry, I just bumped into you, are you okay?" "It''s okay." Ruby was relieved to see that the other party didn''t take advantage of the opportunity to ckmail her. "So, why are you here at our school? Do you need my help to lead the way? I''m a current graduate student at this school, my name is Amelia Moore." Amelia lowered her head with an embarrassing look, and her attitude was quite sincere. Ruby thought about it, she had never been to Sea City University, so it would be good if someone led the way, so she did not refuse: "Thank you then." Seeing that Ruby said yes, and seemed like she didn¡¯t see anythinging, Amelia felt rxed. Luckily, it looked like she really didn''t know what had happened that night. Coming to Sea City University was probably an ident. "Are youing to study at our school?" It wasn''t admissions season, it wasn''t yet the day for new students to enter the school, and Ruby didn''t look like someone who had just started college, so Amelia just casually found a topic to set up a conversation. "No, to find someone." Ruby shook her head and replied dryly. Seeing that Ruby didn''t avoid her, Amelia asked a few more questions, and Ruby answered them all. She was gradually rxed, making sure that Ruby really didn¡¯t know anything and didn¡¯t know her identity. The school office was the one Ruby was going to, and after Amelia took her there, she excused herself and left. Ruby looked at the direction where Amelia had left, and there was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "Ruby? What are you doing here!?" Retracting her gaze, Ruby was just about to go upstairs, but she heard a familiar voice tinged with surprise. She followed the voice and saw a few girls dressed up in fancy clothes standing not far away, and the one in the lead was her sister Rita. "You run the school?" Ruby didn''t want to pay attention to her stupid sister, but answered the question indifferently, lifting her foot and going upstairs. Rita was so angry that she stomped her foot. The follower beside her couldn''t help but ask Rita in a whisper when she saw Ruby''s appearance, "Rita, who was that just now?" "My sister." Rita replied impatiently. "Howe I''ve never heard of you having a sister?" The follower had a surprised look on her face. "She messed around with men, so she got kicked out of the house by my dad. She lived in F Country Content ? N?velDrama.Org. for five years after that, didn''t even graduate from middle school, and I don''t know what she''s doing here at our school." Rita sighed with a pained look. The people around looked odd at the sound of the words. Chapter 40 Make Troubles Chapter 40 Make Troubles Ruby went up to the faculty office on the third floor. It was a weekend, and there were only two teachers inside the faculty office, and when he saw Ruby enter, a balding middle-aged man stood up and greeted her with a smile, "May I help you?" "I''m looking for Francis Owen." Ruby nced at him, her gazending on his bald head, and nced at the other person in the office, and her brows couldn''t help but frown. Francis Owen is not there? "Mr. Owen is not feeling well today, he just went to the bathroom, I guess he''ll be back soon, so you can wait here. By the way, my name is Erik Lloyd, I''m also a teacher at Sea City University." Ruby did not like an ordinary student, her aura powerful, so Erik led her and found a seat. Ruby sat down after thanking Erik. Francis soon returned, his face pale, and his legs wobbling as he walked. Once he entered the door, he saw the girl sitting there wearing a white T-shirt and a cap, his face changed and he hurriedly ran over, "Miss Harold, Dr. Moore told me to wait for you, I have it ready, please wait, I ......" Just after he finished, his face changed, covering his stomach and clenching his legs, he did look like he was having a bad case of diarrhea. Ruby knew with a nce that he was suffering from diarrhea triggered by a cold in his intestines, and seeing that his face was blue, she was silent for a moment before she raised her hand and grabbed Francis''s wrist. "Eh, you ......" Francis was about to open his mouth, but, Ruby just pressed hard on his arm, and a sharp pain came, Before Francis could open his mouth to curse, that abdominal pain actually disappeared. He stared at Ruby in dumbfounded amazement, even forgetting to speak. "Leave the stuff to me, I have things to take care of, I don''t have time to dy here." Ruby raised her hand and knocked on the desktop. "Oh, oh, okay." Francis reacted with hindsight and hurriedly went to open the safe under his desk, took out a document and handed it to Ruby. Ruby opened it and looked at it, her brow furrowed and her face didn¡¯t look good. "Thanks." With her eyebrows collected in displeasure, Ruby uttered a sentence indifferently, taking the document and bowing her head to leave. "By the way, Miss Harold, Dr. Moore called me and said that if you are interested, you cane to Sea City University as an associate professor, and he can help you with it." Francis saw that Ruby was about to leave before he remembered Dr. Moore¡¯s instructions and hurriedly spoke. Unfortunately, Ruby had already walked out the door, and he didn¡¯t know if she had just heard it. Ruby was in a pretty bad mood. Her grandfather Logan held sixteen percent of the shares of Sea City University, or the honorary trustee of Sea City University. Nellie blindly fell in love with Spencer the scum, the Grant family''s assets were given to Spencer, and finally Logan was so angry that he had a stroke and paralysis for several years, and finally after Nellie was killed, Logan also passed away. Ruby asked Dr. Moore to help investigate before she returned to H Country, originally thinking that the shares of Sea City University could still be preserved, but to her surprise, Spencer had long ago appropriated everything from Grant family cleanly. Ruby¡¯s face was grim, and as she had juste down the stairs, she saw Rita and the others who were guarding there. "Ruby, what are you doing here at Sea City University! What are you holding in your hand?" Rita looked at the document bag in Ruby''s hand and subconsciously reached out to grab it. Ruby was in a bad mood and originally did not really want to take care of Rita, but her stupid sister did not have any self-awareness at all and kept bumping into her face. "Didn''t your mother ever teach you not to be nosy?" Ruby''s gaze was slightly cold as her right hand suddenly reached out and sped Rita''s wrist. Rita''s eyes burst into tears of pain and she couldn''t help but scream, "Ruby, what are you doing! Let go of your hand! You bitch, how dare you do it to me? I''ll go back and tell my dad, he won''t let you go! Ahhhhhh, Ruby, you let go!" "What, no more pretending? Are you used to living at the Finn¡¯s? Rita." Ruby¡¯s mouth held a cold smile as she pushed Rita away with force. Rita fell to the ground in a mess. Her friends around her were all scared, they didn''t expect Ruby to make a move, and the way she did This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. was so valiant! "Ruby! Don''t you getcent! The Finn family will be mine sooner orter! I''ve already met with Lennon and he''s very pleased with me and likes me a lot! I''m telling you, I will soon marry him and be the real hostess of the Finn family. Wait for me, when the timees, I will make you beg for your life!" Rita was so angry that her face was twisted, and she even spoke out of turn. Only after she finished speaking did she subconsciously cover her mouth and looked at Ruby with a face full of surprise. Ruby''s lips hooked up a pleasant arc, raised the phone that was recording in her hand, "Just now that deration is good, I''ll put it away. When I have a chance, I will definitely y it for your chosen fianc¨¦ Lennon, let''s see if he will really marry you as you wish and give you the position of the hostess of the Finn family." After saying that, Ruby no longer paid attention to the blushing Rita, turned around and left. Rita looked at Ruby''s back, her eyes widened, her hands grabbed her friend by her side with a frightened expression, "She, she, she''s not human being, she''s a monster, a demon, the words I just said were not controlled at all, not what I wanted to say. She''s definitely not human being! She must be a female demon!" "Rita, are you thinking too much?" Her friend looked at Rita''s crazy look with a worried face. Rita pushed her away, "I want to go back, I want to tell mom and dad. Ruby is too scary, she must be an evil spirit who came back for revenge! She''s definitely not human being!" Said Rita as she stumbled and ran out. Ruby came out of Sea City University and took a taxi the Grant¡¯s old house. When the Grant family fell, everything was taken away by Spencer, even the old house of the Grant family. The house was bought five years ago and has been vacant since then. Ruby stood in the doorway, looking at the familiar house in front of her, a scene inside her mind quickly surfaced. She squeezed her fingertips and exhaled slowly, calming her inner turmoil. "Grandpa, mom, don''t worry, I will soon make Spencer lose everything in his hands, what he did to you guys back then, I will return it all, this day won''t be long now." Ruby murmured in a low voice, then hooked her lips and smiled coldly. The Grant''s old house had been left vacant and now it had long been full of weeds. Unfortunately, the owner of the house had never said that he wanted to transfer the house out, and Ruby had asked someone to contact him several times, all to no avail. After standing at the door for a while, Ruby left to go about her business. In downtown Sea City, as Ruby had just entered the door of a caf¨¦, she noticed an icy sharp gaze. She paused in her steps, looked up and followed her senses to see the man sitting not far away, holding his coffee, his gaze cold and sharp. But wasn''t it her dear fianc¨¦, Mr. Levi? It''s really iniquitous, how can she see this man everywhere she goes? Chapter 41 Instinctive Resistance Chapter 41 Instinctive Resistance Ruby ignored Levi, and her eyes roamed around inside the cafe before she found the person she was looking for. She lifted her foot and walked over. Levi picked up his coffee, but his eyes didn''t leave Ruby, watching her walk to a seat in the corner and sit down, from his position he could faintly see that there was also a man sitting opposite, in a suit. "No way, Levi, I think your fianc¨¦e must have a crush on you, howe she goes wherever you go?" Jared saw Rubye in at a nce, and seeing that she had gone elsewhere as if nothing had happened, without even greeting her, he just assumed that Ruby was deliberately trying to catch Levi. He twisted his head to look at Ruby¡¯s position and spoke with an exaggerated expression to Levi. Levi swept a cool nce at him, suddenly feeling that this person was too noisy. ** "Lawyer Bet." Ruby sat down in her ce and looked at the man in front of her. The man looked in his early thirties, wearing a purely handmade custom-made suit. With a pair of gold- rimmed sses on his face, he gave off a gentle feeling. "I can answer the questions you asked before. For thiswsuit, you have no chance of winning." Lawyer Bet raised his hand and pushed the sses on the bridge of his nose, his gaze only paused on Ruby''s overly pretty face before withdrawing. "What if I get evidence in my hands that they are plotting to kill me? Is there still a chance?" Ruby picked up the coffee in front of her unhurriedly and took a sip. ck coffee was bitter in the mouth, a taste she hated. "If there''s evidence, you shouldn''t havee to me to give you awsuit, you should have gone to the police." Lawyer Bet pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled. "I''ve always heard that Lawyer Bet of Linchen Law Firm has never lost a single battle, I originally thought you are a person of some ability, but to my surprise, it''s nothing more than that. Excuse me, since you can''t do anything about it, then I''ll have to hire someone else." Ruby put down the coffee in her hand and stood up directly to prepare to leave. She wouldn''t have even bothered to find awyer if her grandmother hadn''t made sure to take back everything of the Grant family in this way. It''s just that Nellie died tragically at first and carried a stigma when she was dying, so her grandmother wanted to seek justice for her, so Ruby found Lawyer Bet as she wanted. Unfortunately, Lawyer Bet had let her down. This was the topwyer in H Country, and Ruby felt that the name was overstated. "You don''t need to provoke me. Miss Harold, you should know that things have passed for so many years, you have no evidence in your hand. You want me to fight thiswsuit for you with empty words, and you have to win, do you think it''s possible?" Lawyer Bet watched Ruby get up before he spoke unhurriedly. He had no intention to ask Ruby to stay, and he woulde to see Ruby today just for the sake of his friend. Ruby didn''t deserve to have hime to this meeting at all. Ruby just smiled and turned around to leave. Lawyer Bet continued to sit down and drink his coffee, lounging, seemingly unaffected by the situation. Not far from Lawyer Bet, Jared sneakily finished eavesdropping on the conversation between the two men, and holding the menu to shield his face, he slipped back to sit in front of Levi. Levi nced at him faintly, the first time he knew Jared was actually so gossipy. "I didn''t expect it to be Lawyer Bet from Lin Chen Law Firm, your fianc¨¦e sought awsuit, but she was rejected, how tragic." Jared shook his head and took arge gulp of lemonade from the table before talking to Levi about the gossip he had just heard. Levi didn''t even bother to look at him, and drank his own coffee to read the stock market situation on top of his phone. "What exactly did the Harold family do to her! I heard that she was kicked out of the Harold family five years ago and sent to F Country. Back then, the Harold family wasn''t a small family in Sea City, right? Didn''t a newse out about something that big?" Jared was still chattering. Levi, who hadn''t been paying any attention to him, finally reacted and looked up from his phone screen, giving a nce on him, "Five years ago, Ruby got into the bed of a fifty-something-year-old man and was caught red-handed at the hotel, and Spencer felt ashamed and threw her out." "Oh my God? Then he still dares to let her marry you? And your family has no problem with it?" Jared didn''t control his volume and shouted. Noticing that someone''s eyes were cast over, he only hurriedly covered his mouth and stared at Levi with zed eyes. "Do you think that woman would be willing to watch me marry a rich girl and grow in strength?" Levi Jared touched his nose sarcastically, and almost forgot about that. Giving a nce at Levi expression, he found that Levi has no reaction, only to be relieved, but did not dare to continue gossip. "Levi." The two men were halfway through their coffee before the one they had to wait for arrivedte. Amelia was still wearing a white dress, long ck hair draped over her shoulders, her features were delicate. At this time her face was covered with a gentle sweet smile, many people fixed their eyes on her. Jared nced at Levi, knowing it was time for him to disappear, so he made a random excuse, and slipped away. Amelia nced at the direction Jared had left before sitting down across from Levi: "Been waiting for me long?" "No, we just got here a while ago." Levi turned off his phone screen and sat up straight, looking at the girl in front of him. Amelia has impable looks, gentle character, good origin, and there is still a five-year old tie between the two, but five years have passed, Levi has never been in that kind of mood towards her, and there is even an instinctive feeling of rejection every time he sees her. "Is that so?" Amelia was smart enough not to break it up, and she felt warm at that. Many women out there can only dream of seeing such an excellent, but she can have him. After suppressing the excitement in her heart, Amelia opened her mouth: "Right, my grandfather told me that there is an interview at his institute in three days, and asked me to go there to try. Do you have This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. time that day? Can you go with me?" "Institute?" Levi raised his eyebrows slightly. Dr. Moore''s institute rarely would recruit people from the outside world, now Teddie was in it for treatment. He didn¡¯t know the specific situation, but Jared have read the data sent in the past few days and said that he was recovering well. "Isn''t his institute not hiring from the public?" Levi asked in a seemingly casual manner. "Yes, but a researcher at their institute was fired a while ago, and now there is an extra vacancy. Grandpa has an internal rmendation slot, so he asked me to try." Amelia talked about this with a proud look on her face. "I''ll go with you." Levi thought about it and came to a decision. At this, Amelia¡¯s smile grew brighter, she couldn''t hold back, hugging Levi¡¯s arm, the softness of her chest clinging to his arm, her voice delicate and moving, "Then I''ll wait for you to pick me up and go over together." Levi''s face changed imperceptibly, and that feeling of resistance and revulsion came up again silently. Chapter 42 Test Chapter 42 Test Levi tried hard to suppress the difort in his heart, only his expression was more or less stiff: "Well, I still have things to do, I''ll go back first. You go back to school and be safe." He said, pulling his arm out of Amelia''s hand. A touch of disappointment surfaced on Amelia''s face and she looked at Levi aggressively, "Levi, you do you not like me? It doesn''t matter if you don''t like me, I told you a long time ago that what happened five years ago was of my own free will, it has nothing to do with you, you don''t have to force yourself to be responsible for me ......" The more she said, the more aggrieved she became, her eyes were red, and tears were already welling up under her eyes. When Levi saw her like this, he felt unbearable and pressed on to speakfortingly, "Amelia, what are you thinking about! I promised to marry you, then I will definitely marry you, but wait a little longer." Amelia smiled and looked up at him, still with that aggrieved look, "I believe you, but Levi, can you, can you give a little more time to spend with me? I''m really insecure, I, I''m always worried that you will leave me." Seeing Amelia in this state, Levi was in the end intolerant. It was himself who bullied her five years ago anyhow, and he couldn''t be such a scumbag and irresponsible to her. "I will stay with you tomorrow, think about where you want to go, and I''ll pick you up from school tomorrow." Levi suppressed the difort in his heart and reached out to hug Amelia. She snuggled into his arms and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist. The moment she touched his waist, it was obvious that the man''s body tensed abruptly and seemed to be resisting. Amelia secretly bit her lower lip, with some indignation in her heart. She just couldn''t figure out why things weren''t going the way she thought they would! Five years, these five years, the most intimate gestures between them only stopped at hugging and holding hands, Levi hadn''t even kissed her! "Good, then tonight I must think about where to y tomorrow, is anywhere okay?" Amelia tilted her face, a smile hanging on her delicate face, tears still faintly visible under her eyes. "Yes." Levi nodded and didn''t say anything more. "Then go about your business, I''ll leave you alone, just remember to visit me when you''re free." Amelia understood and thoughtfully pulled Levi up and pushed him out the door. Levi sighed in his heart, feeling more and more like he wasn''t right Why can''t he be so considerate and understanding? When he came out of the cafe, the weather outside was not very good, it was cloudy and raining. The pedestrians on the street were in a hurry and didn''t care about the man standing in front of the mall with a mysterious silver mask on his face. "Hattie, isn''t that Levi? Didn''t you say he was crippled? But his legs look pretty nimble to me?" Inside the mall, a rich middle-aged woman with a mocking face nced at the tall, upright figure at the entrance and spoke gloomily to Hattie. Hattie frowned and followed her gaze, but no one was seen in the doorway. "Mrs. Chambers, if you have bad eyes, I suggest you go to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist, I have a doctor here who is quite good, if you need, I can introduce him to you." Levi, that cripple, absolutely cannot stand up. She had already asked the doctor to check his body again and again. The nerves below the waist are all necrotic, in this case, the chances of standing up are slim to none, unless there is really a miracle, otherwise he will only be able to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Someone who was paralyzed and incapable of bearing children could not be the heir to the Finn family. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Levi lost, the future of the Finn family can only be her son¡¯s. Mrs. Chambers looked towards the door a few more times, and sure enough, the figure was gone. "Is that so? Maybe I made a mistake." She didn''t bother arguing with Hattie, anyway, she felt that that Levi was entric and couldn''t have been so easily counted out by Hattie and limped, what a joke. The two men, each with their own agenda, didn''t expose each other and went on to shop with a smile on their faces. Levi got into the car driven over by Jared, fished out a pack of cigarettes from inside his pocket, and smoked one between his fingers. "Going home?" Jared nced sideways at Levi, feeling that his expression wasn''t quite right, as if he was upset. Levi narrowed his eyes, thinking of the unexpected guest in the house. Ruby is quite nonchnt, get Rita into the Finn family and leave her alone, but herself went to live un Shangcheng International apartmentfortably, leaving a trouble in the Finn family. The corners of Levi''s mouth couldn''t help but tickle when he thought of Ruby. Jared subconsciously wiped his eyes, suspecting that he had misread it. He actually saw Levi smile in broad daylight? "Shangcheng International." Levi leaned backzily, he didn''t want to go back to the Finn¡¯s for now. "Ok." Jared didn¡¯t ask more questions and drove, keeping all the doubts in his mind. Shangcheng International is not far away, a fifteen minute drive. When the two of them entered the neighborhood, they just saw Ruby who was returning from the car. Jared was just about to speak when he saw the maning down after her, and the words that had reached his lips snapped back. Levi was expressionless, seemingly not seeing it. Jared took a nce at him before he sighed in relief and drove the car into the parking lot before getting out of the car. When the two people went up to the eighteenth floor and exited the elevator, the door of Ruby''s room was not closed, and they could hear the sounding from inside in the corridor. "Oh, Ruby, Ruby, hurry up, hurry up - Ah, I''m dying I''m dying ......" The man''s voice was quite prating, and his cry could be heard unmistakably from the doorway. "Shut up!" It took a while before Ruby''s voice, suppressed with anger, was heard, and a thud came from the room, followed by a miserable scream. Levi¡¯s face was expressionless as he opened his own door and went in, and then mmed the door shut with force. Shameless! "Ruby, Ruby, go, get up here! I''m holding him down for you, kill him!" As Jared was just about to go knock on Levi¡¯ door, he heard another sound from inside the house. The corner of his mouth twitched hard, what was going on in this house! ying that big? Ruby was about to die of anger at the retard in front of her, raising her foot and kicking him hard before getting up to close the door. "What are you doing? It is just e-game" Ruby looked at the beaten up zombie inside the TV screen and was speechless. "This game is so real, I feel like I''ve just been defiled by that zombie, I''m not clean anymore." The man aggrievedly removed the 3D eyepatch from his face and looked at Ruby with a grimace. What a stupid dude, she just wanted to throw him out now. Chapter 43 Complaint Next Door Chapter 43 Comint Next Door "Kevin Harold, I advise you to be normal, or you won''te to my ce in the future." Ruby pushed away the big face that was approaching and spoke mercilessly. "Okay, ruthless. Are you still my own sister?" Kevin sat down aggressively on the sofa, nced at the gamepad and then at the 3D eye mask on the side, but in the end, he was still too shocked by the excessively gory image just now and he dare not continue. He was tall and leggy, and looked a little aggravated sitting on the couch, with his long legs going nowhere. Sitting for a while, he asked Ruby sullenly, "Are you really going to promise that son of a bitch Spencer to marry that cripple of the Finn family?" He had just returned from the capital, and as soon as he got home, he heard that Ruby had agreed to Spencer''s request to marry into the Finn family. He heard that the young master of the Finn family was still ying with women before he had a car ident, resulting in double leg paraplegia, face disfigured. Why should such a man marry his sister? "Stay out of adults'' matters." Ruby poured herself a cup of warm water and sipped it slowly, hearing Kevin''s words, she casually answered. Kevin jumped up in dissatisfaction, "I''m not a kid anymore, I''ll turn eighteen this year!" "Not yet." Ruby raised her eyebrows and gave the kid a look. The boy in front of her was much taller than he had been five years ago, and his features were still boyish, but he really didn''t seem to be the same little kid who only cried and followed her ass with two lines of snot. The corners of Ruby''s lips curved and a smile appeared on her face. "That''s not a question. You haven''t answered me yet, are you really going to marry that man from the Finn family?" Kevin scratched his hair in annoyance, never having hated his age so much for a moment. He''s not young, he''s seventeen and already a graduate student at King University. He thought he could protect his sister from those people if he just tried to grow up and be smart and strong, but to his surprise he was still too young to reach that world and give his sister much protection no matter how hard he tried. Kevin was frustrated, lowering his head and lifting his foot to kick the coffee table in front of him. "The marriage was set by mother back then." Ruby took a sip of water, her stomach warm and Her voice was not loud, but firm. Kevin opened his mouth, wanting to say that Nellie was just blind, if she had good eyes, she wouldn''t have fallen for Spencer in the first ce. Thest words didn''te out though, and he was just annoying as hell. "Forget it, you won''t listen to me anyway. Ruby, can you wait for me? I''ll try a little harder, try to grow up, and when I''m capable, they won''t be able to bully you." Kevin would never forget how Spencer had driven Ruby out of the Harold family along with his grandmother five years ago. If he wasn''t Spencer''s son and the only son of the Harold family, he guessed Spencer wouldn''t have kept him. The boy''s voice was low and deep, falling in Ruby''s ears, and inexplicably she felt her nose get a little sore. After going through so much in the past five years in F Country, she was able to endure even the hardest, but this time she had the urge to shed tears because of this boy''s words. "Kid, quite good at sweet words, do you have a girlfriend at school now?" Ruby pulled the corners of her lips, stepped forward, reached out and pressed her hand on top of Kevin''s head, rubbing his fine hair into disarray. "I''m serious!" Kevin gave her a disgruntled re. "Mm, then I''ll wait, you must grow up quickly, grow up to protect me." Ruby nodded rather seriously, her tone light. Kevin got up and hugged Ruby, "Look, I''m even taller than you, I''ll grow up soon. I''m already making money now, it''s not much, but you have to trust me, I''ll make lots and lots of money, you''ll never have to live ording to others¡¯ words. I''ll help you smash them to death with money." Ruby heard Kevin¡¯s childish words and her smile grew bigger. She was now incredibly d that Nellie had given her a brother back then, that there was at least one bloodline in this world that hadn''t let her down too much on kinship. Kevin was a heartless one, sentimental for a while, and got caught up in the game again. The boy is timid, yet he prefers to y zombie-based shoot-em-up games, screaming in excitement as he does so. Ruby was in the kitchen preparing dinner, listening to the boy¡¯s screaming in the living room, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh and shake her head. Expecting this guy to grow up and protect her? There¡¯s no telling how long it will be. While Kevin was having fun, Levi''s face next door was getting grim. The soundproofing of the apartment was very good, it was just that Levi had opened the balcony door as if he was looking for abuse, so the sound from next door came through very clearly. "Aaaaahhhh - Ruby, Ruby, I''m dying, I am dying -" "Sister, sister, help me, help me--" "Crap, help, my asshole-" The sound of those sentences was unbearable. Levi squeezed his slightly cold fingertips before he picked up his phone and dialed the number of the property management. Ten minutester, Ruby¡¯s doorbell was rung. Ruby wiped her wet hands and turned down the fire on the stove a little before walking over and opening the door. At the door were two uniformed security guards who saw Rubye to open the door, the prating screams from the house stilling clearly. The two men''s faces changed, and then they spoke with a serious face, "Miss Harold, right? The owner next door hasined that you are making too much noise and it''s seriously affecting his rest, I hope you can control the volume." Ruby was silent, looked back at her stupid brother who was scared shitless ying a game on the This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. living room couch, and pressed her temples with some headache. "Sorry, I''ll take care of it." The security guard saw Ruby''s attitude was quite good and didn''t give her a hard time, and left after giving a few instructions. Ruby closed the door, went over and took off Kevin¡¯s blindfold and threw it aside, "Okay, no more ying, bring the game disc back, and you y by yourself, you are too noisy here." Kevin had a pity face, but soon he smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and instantly forgot about the matter of ying games, and got up with a bolt, "Sister, is the meal ready?" "Yeah, wash your hands." Ruby raised her hand and pped his restless hand. Kevin ran off to wash his hands in high spirits, and if he had a tail, he probably would have wagged it. Ruby is a very good cook, when she was in F country, she lived on by relying on this cooking skill. Her grandmother was very sick at that time and needed a lot of money for medical expenses every day, and it was supported by the money earned from Ruby''s cooking. "Sister, can I live with you in the future? I don''t want to go back to the Harold¡¯s." Kevin washed his hands and came over, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, after swallowing it, he looked at Ruby with a face full of expectation. "No. The Harold''s house belongs to grandparents, if you don''t go back, the family of three will have it." Ruby refused Kevin mercilessly. Kevin was only able to turn his grief and anger into appetite. Chapter 44 This Shitty Karma Chapter 44 This Shitty Karma "Sis, then I''m going back to the Harold¡¯s." Kevin had the intention to stay here with Ruby, but his sister was too heartless, so he could only leave with his head hanging. Looking at him with that look, Ruby was helpless, in the end, he was still a child. After waiting for him to leave, Ruby pulled open the curtains, and after five minutes, she saw Kevin walking in the garden of the neighborhood, and soon left Shangcheng International. She withdrew her gaze, pulling the curtains closed. There was a lot going on these days, and she had a meeting with an old friend tomorrow, so Ruby took a bath and went to bed early. The next day, Ruby got up early, and when she went out, she ran into the person next door who also came out. She subconsciously took one more look, and after seeing that face clearly, she was immediately uninterested, withdrew her gaze, and coldly went to press the elevator key. There were two elevators on one floor, and while Ruby was standing there waiting for the elevator, Levi walked up to her side. The man was dressed in a gray suit, buttoned to the top of his cor, an ascetic look, standing there without a word, carrying a powerful aura of his own. Ruby cursed her bad luck, she actually ran into this pervert again. As she was thinking, the elevator came. Two people entered the elevator one after the other, the elevator space is not narrow, but after all, the space is limited. The man''s faint cold fragrance got into her nose, the smell is somewhat familiar. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby subconsciously nced at the man in front of her, always feeling a sense of familiarity. She looked at Levi for a moment before shaking her head and pushing that feeling down. Ruby went to the first floor and got out of the elevator, and Levi, who was going to the ground floor to pick up his car, watched her get out of the elevator and walk out quickly, as if there were wolves chasing her behind. When she arrived at the entrance of Shangcheng International, the car Ruby had called arrived, she pulled open the car door and got in, just as Levi¡¯s car also drove out, subconsciously ncing in her direction. On the road Ruby''s phone kept ringing, she nced at the message and mercilessly turned it off. Kevin was restless as soon as he came back to Sea City, after all, the dude''s persona couldn''t copse. He got up early in the morning and called his friends to go and y, and didn''t forget toe and harass Ruby. Ruby went to a very upscale private restaurant in Sea City, where she had to make a reservation at least three months in advance. The private restaurant is tucked away in a small alleyway in the southern part of Sea City, and it''s only when she entered that she found a different kind of quaint garden inside. Ruby walked into the door, found the agreed box, and pushed the door in directly. "Youe? Tell me how many times you''ve stood me up?" A mournful voice rang in her ears just before she entered the door. Ruby sat down,zily raised her eyes to look at the man sitting across the table, who had long dark hair, delicate and beautiful features, seductive eyes, wearing a retro clothes, with his chest revealed, revealing sexy pectoral muscles. Leaning on the sofa, he simply was a demon on earth. Ruby''s fingers moved, and she was tempted to hit him, but held back. "Go ahead, I''m busy." Raising her hand, she took the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea before she spoke carelessly. "Ruthless, it''s been so long since I''ve seen you and you didn''t say you missed me, ugh ......" Vincent Watson was trying to tease her, but, when he looked up and met Ruby''s gaze, he suddenly wimped out, reaching out and pulling the cor of his clothes, sitting upright before speaking seriously, "Okay, I''m looking for you because that medicine you gave mest time has caused quite a stir in the ck market, now many people are looking for it and have found me, do you still have it?" Vincent and Ruby are friends since childhood. Back then, Ruby was sent to F Country. If it wasn¡¯t for Vincent¡¯s secret protection, she would have been killed the day she arrived in F Country. It had been a difficult time in F Country all these years, but she had been safe and sound, thanks to Vincent''s help behind the scenes. His family has underground trading channels all over the world, collectively known as the ck market. When Ruby usually gets something that is not good for herself to sell, she gave Vincent to deal with it. "Well, that thing is a bit troublesome to get, I don''t have much material in my hand right now, so buy me some. I''ll give it to you when I get it out." Ruby had almost forgotten about this matter. That medicine was recorded in the medical book left by grandfather, saying that after eating it, it could change a person''s bone, although it could not make a person be able to practice any supreme kung fu like in the novel, but after eating it, it could strengthen the body and clear the disease in the body, the effect was really good. It''s just that the herbs are troublesome to find and time consuming to refine, she made three at first, took one for herself, gave one to her grandmother, and gave one to Vincent, not expecting Vincent to sell it in the ck market, and it caused a stir. "Alright. By the way, because of this medicine, quite many people are looking for you. All of them are rich and powerful, do you want to meet them?" Vincent nodded and didn''t ask more, only the topic changed and he asked something else. Ruby waved her hand impatiently, "No, not interested." "Okay." Vincent had known this would be the oue and was not surprised at all by her words. The two rambled on for some time, and Vincent asked about her grandmother''s condition. Ruby''splexion changed, somewhat gloomy. "She won''t die for now." Ruby was so disinterested that she lost the desire to even drink tea. Vincent understood when he saw her like this, "Sorry, if you need help, just tell me." "Okay." Ruby answered. "The cook has recently researched a new dish that tastes good, so you can try the taste for me." Seeing Ruby acted like that, Vincent hurriedly changed the topic. Ruby was distracted by the food. At this moment, the waiter began to serve food, the door of thepartment opened, a man and a woman outside walked in intimately. Ruby heard the girl¡¯s delicate voice, which came in through the door. "Levi, this restaurant is very hard to get an appointment, I''ve been trying toe but I couldn''t get an appointment for most of the year, I didn''t think you would be able to arrange it." The word Levi was familiar, and Ruby could not help but give the man an extra nce. The man''s face was covered with a silver mask that blocked half of his face. He was tall and leggy, with an air of high coolness, followed by a young girl in a pure white dress, and the two entered arm in arm, intimately, looking like they should be a couple. Even if only a side face could be seen, Ruby recognized him to be her fianc¨¦ Levi. It''s really quite a coincidence that they have a chance encounter in a ce like this. Ruby felt a sense of emotion in her heart. Levi seemed to feel something and twisted his head to look at thepartment with the door open. His gaze stopped on Ruby and then turned to fall on the man opposite her, his dark eyes could not help but narrow slightly. Chapter 45 Together? Chapter 45 Together? "Levi? What are you looking at!?" After she said a few words without getting a response, Amelia looked up and saw Levi''s gaze looking at a box. Instinctively, she craned her head to look and caught a glimpse of the woman sittingzily in the box. The woman lookedzy, wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, her ck hair was casually tied up in a ponytail, looking clean. Amelia only took a nce, subconsciously pinching her palm, her face became grim. How could it be that woman? When Amelia saw Ruby, she was flustered, especially when she saw Levi looking at her. "Levi, I, I suddenly feel sick, why don''t we go back, I don''t want to eat." Amelia clung to Levi''s arm, her entire body almost pressed against his, and her tone anxious. Only then did Levi withdrew his gaze, looking down at Amelia in front of him, only to find that she was pale and had cold sweat on her forehead, seemingly not really feeling too well. He raised his hand to cover Amelia''s forehead, and seeing that her forehead was cold, he believed her words and his voice was gentle, "Okay, then we''lle next time." "Well, I''m sorry, Levi, I, I didn''t expect to be sick all of a sudden." With a guilty look on her face, Amelia was already pulling Levi out the door. She couldn''t help but give Ruby an extra nce as she left, the panic in her heart didn''t go away. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. How did this woman get here? This private restaurant is not a ce where she can reserve just because she has money, but Ruby appears here, does it mean that her identity is not simple? She was afraid that Levi would see Ruby and recognize her, so she was so distracted on the way that she didn''t even react when Levi spoke to her. Levi looked at Amelia thoughtfully, always feeling that she was not in her element today. But when she didn''t answer, he could only let it go. After sending Amelia back to the school and watching her get off and enter the campus, Levi waited at the entrance for a while before driving off. She ate at Vincent''s and made an appointment with him for the time and ce to deliver the medicine, and then Ruby left the private restaurant to go back to Shangcheng International. On the way, Dr. Moore called her, reminding her of the interview the day after tomorrow. A new employee hade to the institute, and since she was going to be involved in Ruby''s experiment, she needed toe and determine the case. Ruby promised again and again before hanging up, subconsciously looking up and rubbing her temples. As the taxi just stopped at Shangcheng International, Ruby gave the fare to get off, and before she could stand still, her phone rang again. She picked it up and nced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, a call from Sea City. She didn''t know many people in Sea City, so she stared at the number for a while before answering the phone. "Hello, are you Kevin Harold ''s parents? We are here from the Sea City Xialu Public Security Bureau, Kevin Harold is suspected of drug possession and is now detained here. He asked us to contact you to Ruby pursed her lips in silence for a long moment, contemting how likely it was that the call was a scam call. Kevin had only just returned to Sea City for two days, and although he was a dude on the surface, he was actually very shrewd, so how could he possibly do such a thing? "I''ll be right over." Ruby replied to the other party after only a slight moment of hesitation. Whether it''s true or not, she''ll know when she goes over. Sea City is huge and Xialu is one of the many jurisdictions. Ruby took a taxi and went straight to the Xialu Branch. In less than half an hour, the car stopped in front of the Xialu Branch Ruby paid the fare, hurriedly got out of the car, and entered the Public Security Bureau at a fast pace. Looking at Ruby, the people inside the Public Security Bureau who were still busy paused for a moment before someone came over to ask who she was looking for. "May I ask if you have arrested a young man named Kevin Harold? I am his sister." Ruby nodded politely at the other party before speaking. "Kevin Harold." The man looked at Ruby with a smirk before taking a file out, "Seventeen years old, drug possession, and possible drug trafficking. We have to detain him, and when he confesses who else is behind it, we will then consider whether to release him on bail." Ruby narrowed her eyes at the words, and at a nce, she knew that he was intentionally making things difficult. "Can I meet him?" Ruby didn''t rush into the matter of bail, it was now imperative to find out what was going on first. "Yes, half an hour visitation time. Louis, you take her in." A young police officer soon ran over and took Ruby into the Public Security Bureau¡¯s guardhouse. Ruby saw Kevin, who was injured, his white shirt was covered with blood, and the injury on his face looked serious. At this time, he looked up at Ruby when he saw Rubye in, and again, he lowered his head, twisting the corner of his shirt with some uneasiness. Ruby nced at him, withdrew her gaze, and sat down across from him, tapping her fingers twice on the table, "Tell me, what''s going on." "Sister, I''ve been wrongly used." Kevin was anxious. He felt really useless to be set up like that. He had no evidence in his hand, and he couldn''t even defend himself, and he had to drag Ruby into it. "Tell me the details, I want to know all the details of what happened." Ruby looked at him, holding back her anger, and her tone not good. Kevin thought that she was angry with himself, and he felt bad, but he didn''t dare to hide it, and honestly told Ruby all the things clearly. Ruby listened without saying anything, and the guard came over to remind her that the visitation time was over. Ruby pointed to the injury on Kevin''s face, her voice icy cold, "Who made it?" "He got injured in a fight with someone, we are not obliged to care about that. Hurry up and get out, it''s time." The guard had a bad attitude and reached out to push Ruby. Before he could touch Ruby, Ruby moved, easily avoiding his hand, but smoothly sping his wrist. With a force, the guard instantly cried out. "Let go! Do you know what you''re doing? I can sue you for assaulting a police officer!" Ruby smiled with hooked lips and raised her finger to point at the camera above, "There''s surveince here, are you sure you want to sue me?" Hearing Ruby''s words, that guard was instantly frightened, not daring to speak again. Ruby pushed him away, gave Kevin another look, and coldly exited the Public Security Bureau. Kevin still had to stay here, so she guessed someone was deliberately trying to set him up, or the other party''s target was not Kevin, but her. After Ruby walked out of the Public Security Bureau, she called Vincent, "Do me a favor." Chapter 46 A Big Shot Behind Chapter 46 A Big Shot Behind "What''s going on?" Vincent, who had always been a hangdog, had be quite serious after hearing Ruby''s words. "Check the surveince of the Phantom Colour, something happened to my brother over there." Ruby spoke in a light tone, unable to hear her happiness or anger, lifting her feet as she spoke and walking out. Vincent agreed and immediately arranged for someone to do it. Kevin¡¯s affair was quite a big deal and it didn''t take much time for Vincent to investigate it. Ruby had just returned to Shangcheng International when she received the call from Vincent. Ruby answered the phone while changing her shoes, her voice still in that nonchnt tone, as if the person in trouble was not her own brother. "Say it." "This matter may be a bit tricky, Kevin''s possession of drugs was caught on the spot, with the physical evidence and witness, it is not easy to prove his innocence. Plus obviously someone is deliberately trying to set him up." Vincent''s tone was somewhat serious. "Okay. Make a copy of the surveince to me, I know you have a way." Ruby nodded carelessly, walked to the sofa and sat down, taking the remote control and turning on the TV by the way. Kevin''s ident has been on the local news, and the fuss is really not a small one. There is no way that the Harold family could not have heard the news, presumably they had the intention of not wanting to bother with the matter but forcing Ruby toe forward and beg them. Ruby has a cold smile on the corner of her lips, looking at the teenager in the news who was brought out from Phantom Colour in handcuffs, his face still had some boyishness on it facing the camera at that time, obviously uninjured. So the injury was got after he was admitted to the guardhouse. Ruby tapped her fingers on the sofa twice, and Vincent¡¯s voice came again: No problem. What do you want to do? I can help with this matter, just use the connection, you ......" "No need, I want him toe out clean." Ruby refused outright. Knowing her temperament, Vincent didn''t say any more and after hanging up the phone, he sent the Surveince of Phantom Colour to Ruby''s email address. Ruby turned on theputer and watched all the images of Kevin after he entered the Phantom Colour, her fingers stroking her chin in thought. Kevin didn''t Make contact with anyone after he entered the Phantom Colour, he sat there the whole time, but the drugs were found in his bag. It wasn''t after entering the Phantom Colour that he was set up, then it was when he was in the Harold¡¯s. So it was either Rita or Susan. ** "Levi, a new type of drug has been found in Sea City again, exactly the same as the one found before." Shangcheng International, 1802, Jared entered the door in a hurry, sat down and gulped a ss of water before he spoke. Levi raised his eyebrows, and a morose coldness surfaced on his originally indifferent face, "Where was it found?" "It was found just over the Phantom Colour. The man has been arrested, seems to be only seventeen years old, and is a member of the Harold family. It''s your fianc¨¦e''s brother, the real one." Jared took a moment to catch his breath before he slowed down, and hurriedly told Levi about the situation. This new type of drug has been out for more than two years and is very harmful. Levi has been tracking this matter, but unfortunately, the other party is very cunning and any useful clues could not be found. "Ruby''s brother?" Levi narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Jared. "Yes, Kevin Harold, is a notorious dude, since childhood, he loves to cause trouble. Some time ago s he followed his friends to y somewhere, and took more than one million from the Harold family, for Content ? N?velDrama.Org. this matter, Spencer almost had to disassociate himself as father and son. Now he is in trouble, but Spencer did not offer help." Jared had been always gossip. The Harold family''s affair had be widely known in the city, so naturally he had heard about it, and seeing that Levi was interested, he told him more. "Go to the police station and meet this Kevin." Levi rubbed his chin thoughtfully, always feeling that there was something wrong in it. He got up and went straight to the Xialu branch. The injuries on Kevin''s body were a little more serious. When Levi saw him, he was being wheeled out by the guards of the detention centre, with bruises all over his face and body, and he looked like he had been severely tortured. Levi''s face was a bit grim. ording to Kevin''s current state, there was no way he could ask any questions, and if he continued like this without medical treatment, he might not even be able to save his life. "Is that how he looked when he came in?" Levi, his face cold, asked the chief who was following him indifferently. Issac Berry raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his legs shaking with fear. Kevin was fine when he was brought in, and he didn''t know how he could be injured like this after only a few hours. "Yes, yes ......" Issac was afraid that Levi would pursue the matter and did not dare to tell the truth, and he could only lie about it. Levi looked at him coldly for a moment and withdrew his gaze, "I''ll take him with me." "This ......" is out of order ...... Before Issac say the next few words, Levi directly instructed Jared to push the wheelchair. "Mr. Finn, I''m afraid this isn''t quite appropriate." Issac was sweaty. Seeing that Kevin was about to be taken away, he still had the guts to ask. Levi paused in his steps and turned back to give him a faint look, "You''re teaching me how to do things?" Issac''s legs went weak and he almost could not stand still. By the time he came back to his senses, Levi had already left with Kevin. "Tsk, that''s quite a ruthless attack, if we hade a bitter, I guess he would have been death." After leaving the police station and getting into the car, Jared checked Kevin''s injuries and couldn''t help but speak. Levi only gave a faint nce, not particrly concerned about Kevin''s injuries: "When will he wake up?" "Let''s go to my clinic first, but there''s a chance that this leg won''t be saved. It''s really pitiful, only seventeen years old and so young." Jared gave Kevin a simple examination, and without raising his head, he replied to Levi. Levi couldn''t help but nce at Kevin, the face of Ruby appeared in his mind, but soon he returned to that cold look. The car did not drive fast and it took an hour to reach Jared''s private clinic. Kevin was not badly injured and had fallen into aa at this point. Jared carried him out of the car and led him into the clinic, where the nurse inside had already greeted him and helped take the person to the emergency room for resuscitation. Half an hourter, Jared came out covered in blood, his face grim, looked up at the man leaning against the corridor wall and shook his head, "The situation is more serious than I thought, someone tried to kill him. He injured his internal organs, internal bleeding is serious. It is toote, I couldn''t do anything." Levi''s face couldn''t help but change as he stepped around Jared and entered the ward. The teenager in the hospital bed was pale, his face bloodless, his breathing weak at the moment, threatening to give out at any moment. Chapter 47 Ruby Got Angry Chapter 47 Ruby Got Angry "Didn''t you just say he is fine?" Levi looked at Kevin with an angry face. "He did check out fine when we just got in the car, I guess we aggravated the injury when we moved him. I didn''t expect his internal injuries would be that serious, and now he has a ruptured heart and lung. I don''t have enough instruments here to have an operation, and it''s toote to send him to a big hospital at this time. No one in Sea City can save a patient if they can''t even be handled by me." Jared followed him in, and his face was grim. Levi pursed his lips and looked at Kevin without speaking. Kevin is the only one who might know the truth, and he hasn''t had time to ask for any useful clues. He was annoyed, but a face suddenly appeared inside his mind. Ruby! Last time, that teenager was no less injured than Kevin, but she used silver needles to save his life. Maybe this one will work too. "Call Ruby and tell her toe over immediately." With an idea in mind, Levi turned his head to instruct Jared. Jared froze and subconsciously pointed at himself, "Me?" He didn''t know Ruby wel, in what capacity should he call her? "Yes, you! All you need to do is tell Ruby that her brother is seriously injured and being resuscitated by you, and that there''s nothing you can do to save him, ask shee and collect the body." Levi nodded firmly. Jared suddenly felt chill at his back, but Levi had already made up his mind, so he could only do as he was told. After getting Ruby''s phone number from Levi, Jared called her. Shangcheng International, Ruby had just gotten the surveince video inside the Harold¡¯s and hadn''t had time to see it yet, a phone call came in. She nced at it, it was an unfamiliar number in Sea City, and without thinking much of it, she picked up the phone and answered it, while clicking on the video on top of herputer to start ying. "Hello." "Hello, is this Miss Ruby Harold?" Jared peeked at Kevin, who was almost out of breath. "Yes, you are?" Ruby looked at the contents of the video and frowned in disbelief. "I am Jared, it is like this, your brother was beaten up inside the guardhouse, his injuries are too serious, and he is now in my clinic for resuscitation, but his heart and lungs are ruptured, there is really no way to save him, you ......" Before Jared finished his words, Ruby stood up abruptly, her voice cold and stern andpelling: "Where are you?" "377 Jianbei West Road. Come over as soon as you can, he is dying, you may see him for thest time if youe quickly ......" Before Jared could finish his words, the phone was hung up. Ruby turned around and left the house without taking another look at the video in theputer. It was already half an hourter when she arrived at Jianbei West Road. Ruby''s face was pale, and a low air pressure hung over her body, which made the people next to her feel scared. She pushed the door open and went straight into the clinic and a nurse came over. Ruby ignored her, pushed people away and walked straight inside, directly finding Kevin''s ward. Jared was inside, seeing Rubye, he was sorry: "Sorry, Miss Harold, I have tried my best, your brother ......" "He''ll be fine." Ruby''s hands were shaking, and her voice was tinged with a tremor when she spoke. She walked over to the bed and looked down at Kevin in front of her. It was only a few hours apart. A few hours ago, he had told her that he would be fine, and she had originally thought that the Xialu Branch would not dare to act recklessly any more, and that Kevin''s life would still be guaranteed even if he suffered. Little did she know that she had underestimated the ugliness of human nature. "Miss Harold ......" "Get out." Ruby uttered a cold sentence, stepped forward and grabbed Kevin''s hand, taking his pulse. Kevin is now in a really bad situation, with only one breath left. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby''s heart was clogged with anger and guilt that almost overwhelmed her. She took the needle bag out of her bag and opened it, 108 gold needles of varying lengths were neatly wrapped in the bag. She took three of them and quickly sealed Kevin''s lifeblood. Only after that did she tremble and untie his clothes. The young man''s thin body was covered with hideous wounds, bruises that were shocking to look at. Her hand shook and she took several deep breaths before she could steady her mind and took out the golden needles again, stabbing them one by one into Kevin''s major acupuncture points. "Can you arrange for an operating room here?" Ruby used forty-nine golden needles, Kevin''s breathing was still weak, but the situation was considered temporarily stabilized. Ruby didn''t turn her head, knowing that Jared hadn''t left and had been standing at the door, so she asked indifferently. "Yes, you, you''re going to operate on him?" Jared had not yet recovered from his shock. He had studied Chinese medicine for some time back then, and he had never seen Ruby''s technique of applying needles before, but he could still see that it was unusual. At this moment, looking at Kevin''s condition seemed to be stable for the time being, at least the data on the instrument was smooth, he couldn''t help but nce at Ruby in surprise. Levi''s fianc¨¦e is something! Didn¡¯t they say she was a bumpkin? He was shocked, Ruby spoke again, "Arrange an operating room for me, I want to operate on him myself." "You know how to do surgery? His condition is quite stable now, I suggest not taking any chances and finding a professional to do this kind of thing." Although Jared felt that Ruby''s Chinese medicine was good, but it would be ridiculous that Ruby could still do surgery. He had read Ruby''s file, she had never studied Western medicine at all, and surgery was not the same as Chinese medicine, it required very delicate skills, if anything went wrong, the patient would either die or be maimed. "No one else can do this operation." Ruby replied indifferently, "If you can''t arrange it here, I''ll take him away." "I can. Since you insist on doing it yourself, I''ll arrange it for you. But let''s be clear, if anything happens to him, I won''t be responsible." Seeing that Ruby insisted, Jared didn''t bother to persuade her. He went out and ordered the nurses to prepare the operating room. He wanted to see if Ruby could do it or not. Ruby asked for a nurse to help pass things, and Jared followed into the operating room because he wanted to see Ruby disgrace herself. Ruby put on the sterile suit and stood there, her hands raised, looking down at Kevin in front of her for a long time before she spoke indifferently, "de number 3." The operating room was quiet, with only the asional sound of Ruby. Jared, originally standing at a distance watching, ran directly to Ruby at the back, staring at her move with unblinking eyes. Kevin''s injuries were very serious, with five broken ribs, and two of them were crushed fractures, there were also fragments of bone stuck inside his heart and lungs, which needed to be cleaned up bit by bit, in addition to bone grafting. This surgery was very difficult, one mistake could have cost Kevin¡¯s life. However, Ruby''s movements were as smooth as flowing water, especially the stitching technique, which made Jared''s eyes ze over. This technique cannot be done even by a great national doctor with over fifty years of clinical experience. What the hell was Levi''s fianc¨¦e ? Chapter 48 Are the Harold family Stupid? Chapter 48 Are the Harold family Stupid? Ruby''s face was serious, and her pair of eyes stood out in the light of the operating table, and Jared could not resist looking at them a few more times. He had originally held a bit of contempt for Ruby, but had nowpletely changed his mind. He would not be able to reach Ruby''s level in another ten years of study. Moreover, Ruby''s skills in performing surgery were unfamiliar to him, at least he had not learnt them when he was studying medicine. The operationsted four hours. Ruby did not rest throughout and waited until the final stitches were "Why is my brother in your ce?" She pulled the mask off her face and looked at Jared with a bemused expression. She didn''t bother to pretend anything when the Harold family was not there. Jared had not yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened when he suddenly heard her voice, "What?" "Why is my brother in your ce and not in the hospital? Exin it." Ruby repeated in a good temper. If she hadn''t seen that Kevin''s injuries had obviously been treated when she arrived, she would have taken action. "Someone sent him to me. If even I can''t save a patient, others ......" Seeing Ruby in front of him, Jared swallowed the words back consciously, not daring to be arrogant. "You''re so good at healing, who did you learn it from? I''ve been studying medicine for so many years and I''ve never seen such techniques. Did you learn both Chinese and Western medicine?" Jared didn''t continue the topic and changed the subject very stiffly. Ruby did not answer his words, took off the blood-stained disposable gloves and threw them into the bin aside. "Get him to the ward, he needs a blood transfusion. The blood type is B." Ruby gave amand to the nurse with admiration in her eyes, who hurriedly agreed and sent Kevin to the ward for a blood transfusion. Ruby went to wash her hands and had them carefully disinfected beforeing out of the operating room. Jared hurriedly chased after her, "Which master did you learn your medical skills from? Can''t you tell me?" "You''re nosy." Ruby gave a nce at Jared. This clinic looks small, but the equipment inside is first ss, not much worse than the best city hospital in Sea City, so Jared is not as simple as he looks on the surface. This was clear to Ruby from the moment she entered the door. She didn''t believe what Jared said. Kevin wasn''t sent over here, but Jared should have followed someone to pick up Kevin from the police station. But Jared said nothing, and she didn''t bother to ask. "Is your brother all right?" Jared rubbed his nose, he was simply curious. Now, he can''t understand how she can be so skilled in medicine, she is obviously an abandoned daughter of the Harold family. If word got out about this medical skill, many rich people would be willing to beg for Ruby toe to their doorstep for treatment, the connections involved were no joke. As long as the Harold family can grasp this point properly, it is not much of a problem for them to overtake the Finn family in the future. Jared could not help but look at Ruby for a few more moments. The woman in front of him has a cold face and looks very young, no more than twenty years old at most, with dark pupils, like a ck vortex that one can''t help but sink into just by looking at her. By the time Jared came back to his senses, Ruby had already turned around and gone to Kevin''s ward. He was secretly shocked by the feeling of that moment just now that made him look at Ruby differently. Ruby went to the ward. Kevin was still weak, the effect of the anaesthesia had not worn off and he had not woken up yet. Jared went to have a look and ran off to find Levi. Levi was inside the clinic''s office, and he could see everything in the operating theatre clearly from the surveince, so naturally he saw clearly the gestures of Ruby the operation. He had to admit that it was very subtle and special, not like traditional western medicine, something This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. always feels wrong. He frowned and pondered for a moment before the door to the office was pushed open and Jared came in, "Your fianc¨¦e is too good, Levi, I think you could really give it some serious consideration, she might even be better than Amelia." Before he could finish his words, he saw Levi¡¯s cold eyes and stopped talking. Levi withdrew his gaze and repeatedly looked at the details of Ruby''s surgery, his brows slightly knitted. Jared gathered over, looking intently. "Anything wrong?" Levi looked at it several times before he knocked on the table and asked Jared indifferently. Jared shook his head and looked a little closer: "It is surgery, but it doesn''t quite feel like Western medicine. Does a Chinese doctor do surgery? I''ve never heard of it." Levi gave a coldugh and turned off hisputer. "Where is she?" "In the ward of her brother. What do you think of it? Do you still want to go to the trialter?" Jared pulled a chair and sat down across from Levi, asking him seriously. Levi did not answer, but only looked thoughtfully in the direction of the door. In the ward, Ruby sat aside and looked at Kevin who was lying on the hospital bed. Kevin suffered a serious injury to his face and a slight concussion. If Jared hadn''t called her in time to inform her toe over, another hourter, Kevin would have been hopeless toe back to life. Inside the detention centre, someone wants Kevin dead, who has he offended? Originally, Ruby only thought it was Susan''s way of framing Kevin, but now it seems that things are not that simple. She thought of the images she had seen inside the Harold family''s surveince and her eyes narrowed. It took almost an hour before Kevin woke up. The effect of the anesthetic hadn''t worn offpletely and he couldn''t feel the pain of the wound. After opening his eyes, his vision was blurred and it took him a while to see the person in front of him clearly. After seeing Ruby, he struggled to get up, "Sister." "Lie down. Answer whatever I ask you." Ruby red at Kevin and raised her hand to give him a gentle squeeze at his shoulder. Kevin immediately felt that his body was senseless and not under his control. "Okay." He coughed twice before speaking weakly. "How did have the drugs?" Ruby asked in a direct manner. Kevin was bewildered before shaking his head, "Sister, I don''t know. I don''t have that, didn''t someone put it in my bag inside Phantom Colour?" "No, the stuff was on you when you came out of the Harold¡¯s house." Ruby shook her head. "The Harold¡¯s? That''s Susan trying to harm me?" Kevin''s face changed and his voice was a little cold. Not only did Susan get his mother killed, but now she wants to get him killed? All these years he has been pretending to be a dude, and Susan actually doesn''t want to leave him alone. "It''s not that simple. You stay here and recuperate well, I''ll go to the Harold¡¯s." Ruby shook her head and stood up. Looking at Kevin''s anxious face, she soothed him before she left the ward. At the door, he saw Jared, who happened to be standing outside and raised his hand to push the door. Jared had an embarrassed look on his face, a feeling of being caught red-handed doing something bad. "Next time, be smarter when you eavesdrop." Ruby nced at Jared, said coldly, lifted her foot and walked away, leaving Jared alone in his ce, his face full of devastation. Chapter 49 Have One of Her Hands Chapter 49 Have One of Her Hands Ruby came out of Jared''s clinic and directly took a taxi to go to the Harold¡¯s. The Harold family can be said to be in a great position today. The news of Ruby''s marriage to Levi was all the rage, and everyone knew that the Harold family had been interested from the Finn family, and many people were thinking that they could take advantage of the opportunity to get on good terms with the Harold family and see if they could reach the Finn family. These days the Harold family has a lot of peopleing and going, with the majority of people giving gifts. Ruby enters the door and sees the butler carrying a pile of gifts upstairs. She nced at it lightly, the corners of her mouth curling in a cold smile. Susan had just hung up a phone call, smiling springily, when she saw Ruby at the door, she instantly pulled a long face and her tone was a bit impatient: "What are you doing back at this time! Shouldn''t you be at the Finn family at this time, cultivating a good rtionship with the young master of the Finn family? Also, your sister is also at the Finn¡¯s, so go back and help her out and introduce her to the second young master of the Finn family." "You have a good wish. What is the status of the second young master of the Finn family, how could he possibly like Rita?" Ruby still had that smile on her face, as she spoke and walked towards Susan. Susan was not happy when she heard her words: "What do you mean? Ruby, are you going to rebel against me? Don''t forget, without the Harold family, you are nothing, or how can you marry into the Finn family?" "By virtue of my mother being Nellie Grant. This marriage was arranged by her." Ruby answered seriously. Susan''s face turned pale and her chest rose and fell violently in anger, pointing at Ruby and her voice trembled with rage: "Ruby! You are deliberately trying to piss me off, aren''t you?" "Yes." Ruby answered with a straightforward voice. Susan just felt a blockage in her chest, so angry that she could barely catch her breath. "Do you really think that just because you married into the Finn family, you can be arrogant? Don''t forget that the Harold family will always be your roots! Ruby, if you behave yourself, I will still be able to help you take care of your dying grandmother a little bit, otherwise, humph!" Susan''s face was twisted as she looked at Ruby. If it wasn''t for the fact that Ruby was now in a different position and she was afraid that offending Ruby would involve the Harold family, she would have gone to give Ruby a few ps right now. As the two men spoke, Ruby had walked up to Susan. Ruby stood in front of her, a bit condescending because of her height, looking down at Susan in front of her, her thin lips slightly raised, her voice cold and a bit frightening: "The things in Kevin''s bag is ced by you?" "What, what did I ce?" Susan did not expect Ruby to suddenly change the topic, and when she came back to her senses, her face was full of panic. How did Ruby know that had something to do with her? She was obviously doing it in a very discreet way! Susan''s heart was beating fast and she didn''t dare to look into Ruby¡¯s eyes. Seeing this reaction from her, Ruby was sure of it. The surveince did not capture Susan entering Kevin''s room, the traces were handled too cleanly, and it was because of this that Ruby''s suspicions were aroused. She only came to deliberately swindle Susan, but she didn''t expect that she got the truth from it. The matter is definitely not as simple as it seems, Susan is not capable of buying a murderer, the people in the guardhouse should be arranged by someone else, as to who, Ruby cannot investigate clearly now. But it will always show. "Ruby, don''t change the subject with me, did you hear what I just said to you or not? Rita is the eldest youngdy of our family, she is the best in terms of talent and looks, marrying into the Finn family is not considered a match. Why don''t you think of your sister? You two sisters marrying into the Finn family together will be good for Kevin in the future, you can''t be so selfish or short-sighted." Susan was afraid that Ruby would bring up Kevin again, so she hurriedly changed the subject. It was just that her faint-hearted look fell on Ruby''s eyes and she only felt ridiculous. "Kevin was almost beaten to death in the guardhouse." Ruby narrowed her eyes slightly and looked coldly at Susan. Susan''s heart thudded and her eyes shed to avoid Ruby''s gaze: "I... he often gets into trouble, so I guess he has offended someone outside. I''m sure he''s offended someone. Howe he didn''t inform us when he got into the police station? I''ll call your father now, go and ransom him out." "Susan, I told you when I first left the Harold family that Kevin was my bottom line." Ruby ignored Susan''s self-talk, still looking at her coldly as she spoke in a single word. Susan inexplicably felt her heart beat hard. She did not remember Ruby said such a thing. Kevin is a member of the Harold family, so if he really dies, there''s one less person to fight for the Harold family''s assets from her. Seeing this aggressive attitude of Ruby, Susan was upset in her heart and could not help but speak up, "Ruby, I don''t know what you are talking about! What bottom line, I ......" Susan was only halfway through her words when Ruby suddenly reached out and sped her left wrist: "Which hand did you use to put the thing into Kevin''s backpack, this one?" Susan only felt a stabbing pain like a needle in her wrist, her face went white and her voice was aloud, "Ruby, what are you doing!¡± "Nothing, you let Kevin into the guardhouse and almost lost his life, I just want one of your hands." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby''s voice was light and her expression was calm, any emotion could not be seen, only the words that came out were so creepy. Before Susan had time to react to what Ruby means by this statement, she only felt a sudden numbness in her arm, and then she lost all feeling in her left hand, as if it was no longer hers. She looked at Ruby with a horrified face, unable to stop her fear: "You, what have you done to me! My hand, my hand ......" "Don''t ever do anything to Kevin, or, next time, it won''t be as simple as a hand, I''ll have your life!" Ruby¡¯s voice was cold and sharp as she finished the sentence indifferently, turned around and walked away. Susan turned white and shouted like a madman, "Butler! Butler!" The butler had just finished sorting out the gifts, when he heard the sound he hurried down and saw Susan standing there with her face pale and her right hand over her left, he asked with worry, "Madam, what''s wrong?" "Quick! Get the car ready, take me to the hospital!" Susan''s right hand pinched hard on top of her left hand, but her arm was not felt at all. She really panicked, especially when Ruby looked at her just now, she clearly looked like a wolf cub. She really couldn''t understand why the soft and weak Ruby of five years ago had suddenly changed! The butler didn''t dare to dy and hurriedly got a car to take Susan to the hospital. Chapter 50 Gossip Chapter 50 Gossip "I''m sorry, Mrs. Harold, all the nerves in your left hand are necrotic and you will only be able to amputate it." Susan was rushed to the hospital and after the examination came out, the doctor looked at the examination results in his hand and then looked at Susan with a sympathetic face. Susan jumped up and grabbed the examination report from the doctor''s hand, staring at the diagnosis. The words "neurological necrosis" seemed to be a p in the face, hitting her so hard that her whole brain was confused and she didn''te back to her senses for half a day. "Why, how is it possible ......" "Mrs. Harold, please Make a decision as soon as possible, all the nerves in your arm are necrotic and must be surgically amputated immediately, otherwise there is no guarantee that it will not affect other parts of your body." The doctor was not surprised to see her looking like this, and only gave a kind reminder. Susan mmed the examination report in her hand into the face of the doctor in front of her: "Impossible! I can''t have my arm amputated! You quacks! You quacks! You quacks! This test result must be a fake!" She simply couldn''t ept the fact that she was fine just a few hours ago, how could she suddenly have a nerve necrosis and an amputation? Can Ruby have that ability to Make her look like this with just a light touch? She wouldn''t have believed it. She pushed the doctor in front of her with her right hand and walked out with a cold face. She needs to go to the best hospital for another check up, the doctors here must be lying to her! Ruby came out of the house and went to Jared''s clinic again. Kevin was still sleeping, the bruises on his face still the same touchy look, not getting any better. Ruby stared at it for a while, remembering that this brat usually cares most about his face. If he woke up and saw it, he would probably cry. After sitting in front of the hospital bed for a while, Ruby raised her hand and rubbed her temples before getting up and leaving again. She took a taxi straight to Dr. Moore''s institute. The Institute recruited today, and as there was only one vacant position, thepetition was very stimting. All those who came topete for the position have arrived since morning, and after a fierce round ofpetition, there are currently thirty people left, waiting for the final PK. Out of these thirty people, only one will eventually emerge from the ranks and enter the Institute. Ruby''s car stopped just one street outside the Institute and she paid before walking slowly towards the Institute. There was a car parked on the side of the road, ck with a VW logo and a string of letters underneath. Ruby only gave a faint sweeping nce, not paying much attention to it, and went straight into the Institute. In the car, Levi''s gaze fell on Ruby and for a moment he suspected that he had misread his eyes. He was silent for a while before he went to call Jared. "Where are you?" Dr. Moore''s research institute is one of the best in H Country and the world, and many people in H Country are eager to get in for a job, but it is too difficult. Levi didn''t mean to look down on Ruby but he just thought it was a little too outrageous. "At the clinic, why?" Jared looked at Kevin, who had woken up, and replied Levi''s words. "Has that woman been to the clinic today?" Levi was silent for a moment, and although he thought it was absurd, he asked anyway. "Oh, she just came in, saw her brother and left again, said she''de backter. What? You''re not really fancy with your fianc¨¦e, are you?" Jared had a flirtatious look on his face. Levi hung up the phone straight away, not wanting to deal with this person. Ruby did not know that Levi was outside the institute, she went straight inside. At this time the interviewees were waiting outside, sitting neatly in the hall outside the institute, thirty people looked quite spectacr. Ruby merely gave a faint nce, withdrew her gaze, and lifted her feet in the direction of the gated entrance. The anger in her eyes could barely be suppressed as she stared straight at the woman in front of her. Seeing that Ruby still wanted to go inside the Institute, she couldn''t hold back and stood up, looking at Ruby, her nails almost pinching into her fingertips, her voice trembling a bit due to excitement: "You, what are you doing! You can''t just go in there, don''t mess around!" When Ruby heard the voice, her footsteps gave a slight lurch and she turned around to see a girl in a white dress, standing there, looking at herself with a red face, as if she had done something unpleasant. Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked at Amelia for a moment before withdrawing her gaze, then took out a card from inside her pocket, swiped the door ess and went straight in. Amelia nched, unable to believe it. Five years ago, that woman was just an insignificant person in the slums of F Country. She couldn''t even afford three meals, but five yearster, she has grown to a level beyond her reach? She''s actually from the Institute? Amelia lightly bit her lips and looked deadly at the door Ruby went in. Ruby went in just in time to bump into Dr. Moore who came out in a hurry, and there was a momentary silence as soon as the two were opposite each other. Only then did Dr. Mooree rushing over with a face full of joy, "You''ve changed your mind again? Did you suddenly want to give questions to the candidates for today''s interview?" Ruby raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose, looking at Dr. Moore, the word ''no'' that was on her lips could not be said. She coughed twice before speaking ufortably, "Is it thest round already?" "Yes, the previous part of thepetition has all been passed, the practical exercises have been measured, and now there is only thest hurdle. I''ve prepared a patient with the intention of letting them try their skill, what do you think?" Dr. Moore kept rubbing his hands together, his face full of excitement. Ruby pondered for a moment before nodding, "Okay. Let''s use the patient who was sent over a few days ago." "Who?" Dr. Moore didn''t respond for a moment. "The one who''s been brain dead for two years is still in pretty good shape, give those people a try, he won¡¯t die." Ruby blinked innocently at Dr. Moore. Dr. Moore looked at her speechlessly for a long time before he couldn''t help but sigh, "A researcher doesn''te to theb to do experiments, but likes to run around outside, it is such a waste. Never mind,e back soon after you take care of the Harold family. If you can''t handle it, let me know and I''ll take care of it for you." Ruby felt slight warmth in her heart and nodded, then went straight past Dr. Moore to go inside. She had to pound some medicine for Kevin to Make his face heal faster. She was quite ufortable looking at such a good-looking boy who had now turned into a pig like face. Ruby has her own privateboratory on Dr. Moore''s side. She went straight in and quickly had several remedies inside her mind, finally she selected one that activates blood cirction and removes blood Content ? N?velDrama.Org. stasis, as well as having a scar removal effect, before she formted the medicine. Chapter 51 You Can Dispense Medicine? Chapter 51 You Can Dispense Medicine? Herboratory wasplete with all kinds of herbs, and they were all twenty years old or more. Dr. Moore knew that she liked to tinker with strange medicines out of nothing, so she had everything ready for her before preparing thisboratory. Ruby was inside for two hours and when she came out, Dr. Moore had not yet finished the recruitment. It just happened to be Amelia''s turn, and she blushed as she looked at the patient lying in a hospital bed, covered in tubes. There was also a circle of people around watching, looking worried at the look on Amelia''s face. One of them couldn''t help but speak up tofort her, "Amelia, if you really can''t do it, don''t insist, you did so well in the previous two rounds anyway, you''ll definitely get in even if you can''t finish this round." "Yeah, this patient doesn''t even have a good treatment n for those who have been inside the institute for years, and it''s normal that you don''t know what to do." Ruby stood listening for a while and could not help but frown. She swept her eyes over the ones who had spoken, found Dr. Moore and asked him in a pressed voice, "Are all these people here for the interview?" "Only the girl standing in the middle is, the others are all from the Institute." Dr. Moore looked up and frowned when he noticed that his granddaughter was surrounded by several male researchers giving her advice. "Sorry, I''ll take care of it." Dr. Moore''s face was pale. He had asked his granddaughter toe over for the interview. Originally, he thought that she had excellent expertise in school and was able to answer questions when she was usually asked, but when it came to clinical trials, she actually reacted in this way. He was disappointed. Ruby is even two years younger than Amelia, but now she has already opened ab on her own, and not only is her medical skills top-notch, but her talent in scientific research also wins countless people of her age. "You go down now at once. This is an examination, not a food market, and not a ce for you to y around. And You, leave now." Dr. Moore never showed favouritism when it came to work, even when it was his own granddaughter in front of him. Amelia blushed and weakly opened her mouth to call out, "Grandpa ......" Dr. Moore¡¯s face became more and more gloomy: "I am doing research here, a very solemn and important ce, not for you toe here to recognize your rtives. There are onlyboratory codes here, only work, there is no such thing as grandfather and granddaughter. If you can¡¯t do it, then go and let the others do it." Dr. Moore was very stern, and in one sentence, Amelia instantly reddened her eyes, covered her face and ran out. Ruby shook her head, said a few words to Dr. Moore that she was not interested in today''s recruitment, and went straight out. Just after leaving the Institute, she saw Amelia standing there with red eyes, obviously waiting for her. Amelia looked at Amelia and was so jealous in her heart. Coupled with the fact that she had just made a fool of herself in front of Ruby, it had caused her great embarrassment and resentment in her heart. "You get a kick out of watching me a fool of myself?" She bit her lower lip lightly and watched Amelia ignore her as she was about to walk past, before she spoke up and called out to her. Ruby paused in her steps and turned back, her gaze tinged with a bit of surprise as she looked at Amelia, "You''re talking to me?" "What are you pretending to be! It''s you! You just watched me a fool of myself on purpose, didn''t you? What did you say to my grandfather! Let me tell you, don''t think that just because you have some skills and have entered the Institute, you are superior! In my eyes, you''re nothing!" Amelia clenched her fists in embarrassment and red angrily at Ruby in front of her, wanting to pounce on her and hit her. Ruby raised her eyebrows, then smiled, looked Amelia up and down before nodding seriously, "Well, I am indeed superior, at least better than some people who can''t get into the Institute and still spill their guts. Do you have anything else?" "You!" Amelia was so angry that her eyes turned red. When had she ever been so humiliated and stimted since she was a child? Ruby was toozy to pay attention to her, she was on her way to take the ointment to Kevin. As she watched Amelia ignore her anger, she lifted her feet and walked past, walking further and further away, but the anger in her heart could not be lingered. She bit her lips lightly and looked deadly at Ruby''s back, her gaze tinged with resentment. Levi watched Ruby leave, his gaze paused for a moment on Amelia at the door. He saw here over while raising her hand to wipe her eyes, only when he got closer did he realize that Amelia''s eyes were red and swollen. A fair and delicate face flushed, obviously she had just cried. Thinking of the fact that she had just said to Ruby standing in the doorway, Levi''s eyes darkened. "What''s wrong? Who''s been bullying you?" Levi opened the car door and got out, raised his hand and pressed it on the top of Amelia''s hair, lowered his head and asked tenderly. Amelia cried more fiercely for a long time before she shook her head with a look of resignation, "I''m fine." "What did you just say to the woman at the door! You know her?" When Levi looked at that look on Amelia''s face, he knew something was definitely up. She looked slightly flustered, her eyes visibly flickering for a moment before she hastily waved her hands in denial, "No, nothing, we, we ......" Halfway through the sentence, she couldn''t stop herself from covering her face and crying again. "Crying like this, and still saying it''s fine?" Levi was vaguely impatient. He really doesn''t have much feeling for women''s tears, at this time, looking at Amelia crying like this, ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. his patience disappeared cleanly because of Amelia''s prunes and prism. Levi could not help but frown, this feeling was really not good. His patience with Amelia, along with time, seemed to be diminishing day by day. "I... I just... I just didn''t get selected as a researcher. Levi, I feel bad, can you stay with me today?" Her eyes were red, and she looked up at Levi with anticipation in her eyes. Levi looked down at her face and was silent for a long time before nodding his head. ** After Ruby came out of the research institute, she took a taxi directly back to Jared''s clinic. Kevin was already awake, sitting on the hospital bed ying a game. It could be seen that his mood was not good, and his hostility was obvious when he yed the game. Ruby raised her eyebrows and walked over, fished out a box of ointment from inside her pocket and threw it over, "Apply it on your face." At the mention of the word face, Kevin''s hostility became even stronger. He directly mmed his phone down and looked at Ruby in a sullen and unhappy manner. Ruby pulled up a chair and sat down, "Use it in first, you are too ugly, I don''t want to talk to a pig." Once he heard this, Kevin''s face became even gloomier. But his sister''s words had to be heeded, and although he was unhappy in his heart, he picked up the ubelled box thrown on the bed and opened it, a faint fragrance came to his nose, and just by smelling it, Kevin felt refreshed. He half-heartedly picked a bit of the ointment and slowly applied it to his face. Chapter 52 The Miraculous Ointment Chapter 52 The Miraculous Ointment When the ointment touched his skin, Kevin only felt coolness on his face and a faint sweet fragrance that smelled pleasant, and the tingling sensation disappeared. "Sis, this medicine feels pretty good, I don''t feel any pain in my face. Where did you get it?" Kevin applied it to his face before he looked up excitedly to see Ruby. The redness on his face had faded quite a bit, and she estimated that two more applications of medicine would heal himpletely. "Remember to apply it once in the morning and once at night, for three days." Ruby admonished before she began to settle scores, "Tell me, what happened inside the Phantom Colour?" She had already watched the surveince and knew what had happened, she just wanted to verify it again from Kevin''s mouth. Especially what happened inside the guardhouse. There was no surveince there, and Ruby had no way of knowing what had happened. Kevin himself was skilled in kung fu and was not so badly beaten, there was definitely a reason she did not know about. Kevin''s face changed and unnaturally he avoided Ruby''s gaze as he replied sheepishly, "I''m just trying to remain my reputation. Every time Ie back I always follow a group of friends to a bar, I didn''t expect something to happen this time." "What?" Ruby raised an eyebrow, still staring at him. Kevin felt as if his secret was seen through, raised his hand to scratch his head and deliberately yed dumb: "Nothing else really, inside the guardhouse several of them beat me, and I don''t know why they ......" "Kevin, I''m not stupid. If you won''t tell me voluntarily, I can go and find out, but if I find out myself, it is different, understand?" Ruby was a little angry. She didn''t need Kevin to charge into battle for her. Didn''t she work so hard to protect her family from being bullied? However, she couldn''t even protect Kevin who was under her nose. When she thought of Kevin lying in front of her at that time, Ruby felt self-condemnation and more than that, anger. There''s definitely more than just Susan going on here, there''s someone else behind it. Susan is not yet capable of that. Ruby has already checked the drug on Kevin''s body, which is a new type of drug that is very harmful. A small amount of it may damage a person''s nervous system, and is a forbidden drug in every country around the world. Ruby had been exposed to this drug when she was in F Country, but she did not expect it to appear in the territory of H Country now. She now strongly suspected that Kevin had offended someone while in the capital and had been deliberately set up. "Sister, I, I''m really fine, you ......" Kevin lowered his head, not daring to look Ruby in the eyes. Ruby''s patience was limited, and she raised her hand to look at the time before she spoke icily, "Five minutes, you can either confess on your own initiative or I will personally go and find your tutor. I promised Mom that I would protect you and not let anything happen to you, and now that you almost died. Kevin, don''t you provoke my patience." Kevin panicked, he could see that Ruby was really angry, and did not dare to continue to hide, he spoke: "Sister, I''m really fine. That man is very powerful and has a lot of influence in the capital, you This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. can''t fight him. I promise you, I will be careful in the future, and absolutely nothing like this will happen again, will you believe me for once?" Ruby pursed her lips and looked at Kevin coldly. "Yes, it''s the Powell family, the Powell family of the capital." Kevin eventuallypromised, lowering his head and sullenly revealing the person who really wanted him dead. When he finished, he subconsciously clenched his fist, a little angry in his heart. He was able to defend himself if he had any skill. But, he couldn''t even protect himself now, how could he protect Ruby? This feeling of powerlessness made Kevin very frustrated and despised himself even more. Ruby narrowed her eyes, remembering this Powell family. It was impossible for her to go to the capital for the time being, but there were some contacts on Vincent''s side, so it should not be difficult to find out. Since they dare to touch her people, they have to be ready to pay the price. "Rest well here and put away the ointment I gave you." Ruby rose, raised her hand and flicked the hem of her coat, and turned away with a cold face straight away. Kevin looked at her pitifully and watched as she walked to the door before he opened his mouth aggressively and shouted, "Sister." "Be a dude if you want to, your level is bad." Ruby paused in her footsteps, dropped a sentence and then coldly went out. Kevin felt hit and covered his chest with a look of distress. His sister is right, he really is scum and needs to continue to grow mature. Ruby went out of the ward, and outside Jared was waiting with bated breath: "Miss Harold, right? Do you mind talking?" "I do mind." Ruby recognized Jared, someone close to Levi, who she doesn''t really want to get into touch, let alone talk too much with him. Jared choked on her direct words and looked at Ruby with a hard face, "There''s no need to be so heartless. At least we''ve met once." "So?" Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked at Jared with indifference. "Here''s the thing, I see you''re doing such a good job with your surgery, do you have any interest ......" "No." Ruby didn''t wait for Jared to finish before she directly interrupted him, and then walked out of the clinic without looking back. That back can be quite ruthless. Jared''s expression was dull as he looked at her back, remembering that Ruby didn''t seem to look like this the few times he saw her in his memory, but on second thought, Kevin had been so badly injured and almost lost his life, it was quite normal for Ruby to be in a bad mood. After reassuring himself, Jared ran in to see Kevin again. Since his sister is not good to deal with, it might be a good idea to start with the brother. And, once he entered the door and saw Kevin''s face, Jared''s face changed and he looked at Kevin incredulously, "Your face ......" "Even if my face is damaged, I am still good looking, don''t talk to me, I don''t want to talk with you." Kevin raised his hand to cover his face, deciding to make an effort to stabilize his dude persona. Jareds: "......" These two siblings really live up to their name. "How did your face heal so quickly?" Jared ignored Kevin''s remark and came forward, looking at Kevin''s already mostly healed face, still with a look of disbelief. With an injury of this magnitude and severe soft tissue contusions, he could not recover to this extent without 10 days and half a month. When he came to see Kevin this morning, he still looked like a pig, and now he''s healed? Jared felt that he had really seen a ghost. "That''s right, I was born with a beautiful face, and God can''t bear to see my face ruined, so ......" "That''s enough." Jared instantly felt a headache and didn''t want to listen to Kevin. He thought about it and felt that it must be Ruby''s problem. He didn''t expect that she was a good surgeon and could actually make medicine? If this ointment used by Kevin could be produced inrge quantities ...... Chapter 53 Give it A Shot Chapter 53 Give it A Shot "You are saying that Ruby is not only good at surgery, she can also make her own medicine, and the medicine she made is very effective for traumatic injuries?" Levi picked up the phone call from Jared and felt his temples throb as he listened to him whimpering and screaming on the other end. But he came to be a little interested in what Jared said. Ruby is like a treasure to be explored, the more he digs, the more he discovers that she has hidden countless treasures, just one of which is enough to cause a shock. "Yes! You saw her brother''s injury, right? That face is so swelling that it could not recover in 10 days or half a month. I''ve just been away for less than an hour, and when I go back to see him again, his face is already mostly healed. I''ve sent you photos, so take a look for yourselfter. You must find a way to get your hands on this kind of medicine. Levi, it''s time to sacrifice your beauty." Jared was still very emotional and could not wait to run to Ruby and ask for the recipe from her mouth right now. Levi was thoughtful, ignored Jared and hung up the phone straight away. They often suffer casualties on missions in District 7, and many times the danger is even higher on missions in deep forests or tropical jungles, where amon wound can kill someone with an infection. If what Jared had just said was true, this medicine in Ruby''s hand was not only effective for soft tissue contusions, it was also very obvious for external injuries. So his fianc¨¦e is hiding a lot. Ruby did not yet know that she has been targeted by Levi. Aftering out of the hospital, she once again went to Vincent''s private restaurant. When Vincent looked at her with a gloomy face and hostile eyes, he knew at once that she must be angry about Kevin. "What can I do for you?" Once Ruby had sat down, Vincent personally poured her tea, smiling carelessly. "I will give you a Bone Tempering Pill, help me check out the Powell family in the capital." Ruby picked up her tea and took a sip, raising her eyebrows at Vincent. All the tea here in Vincent seems to be good and makes her want to rob it a bit. "The Powell family? What happened to your brother has something to do with the Powell family?" Vincent nced at Ruby with some surprise. Seeing this reaction from him, Ruby knew that he should be aware of the Powell family. "You know it?" "The capital has a very distinct ss division, which can be roughly divided into five tiers. The top tier is very mysterious and basically does not have too many collusions with the outside world, and is truly the top of the pyramid. The second tier is the four major families, namely the Finn family, the Watson family, the Pearson family and the Carter family. As for the third tier, there are a lot of people, this Powell family is barely enough to reach the third tier." Knowing that Ruby was not particrly knowledgeable about the situation in the country, Vincent patiently gave her an overview of the distribution of power in the capital. Ruby nced at Vincent thoughtfully. Vincent''s face was at ease as he met her gaze, "Our family is considered a branch of the Watson family and has little to do with the main family, so while we can still be powerful in other ces, we have to shrink when we are in the capital." This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Vincent spoke casually, as if he didn''t care. Ruby looked at him for a moment before withdrawing her gaze and did not ask more. "The Powell family is powerful?" Her focus returned to the Powell family. "It''s not bad, at least the first family in Sea City can''t even be a match to a tenth of the Powell family. Families like them are all inherited for more than a hundred years, with considerable family wealth, and their power is so intertwined that they have alliances with many families, so it''s quite troublesome." Thest sentence is a reminder to Ruby not to think of offending the Powell family. Ruby smiled indifferently and didn''t ask any more questions. The main family of the Powell family is not to be messed with, does not mean that the side branches are also the same. Ruby has already got all the information of the person who hurt Kevin, she does not need to do it herself at all, as long as the evidence in her hand is handed over to certain people, someone will naturally help her clean up those people. "Your chef''s cooking skills are good." Ruby collected the coldness under her eyes and returned to her usual harmless appearance. At this, Vincent hurriedly ordered the food to be served. Ruby ate and drank till she was full, patted her bottom and left. Vincent chased her behind asking when the promised Bone Tempering Pill would actually be avable. Ruby came out of the private restaurant and originally intended to go straight back to Shangcheng International. However, as she was just leaving the restaurant, Spencer''s phone call came through. She squinted at the number and was silent for a long time before answering the phone, her tone light and sweet, "Dad, you want to see me?" As soon as Spencer heard this tone of voice from her, he felt his head spin and pressed his temples before asking her in a suppressed voice, "Your stepmother''s hand is going to be amputated and she said you did it." "Dad, how can that be? I''m a weak woman. Is she trying to smear me by identally injuring herself? Dad, you have to believe me, how could I possibly do such a thing? If this kind of thing gets out, and people outside know that the future wife of Levi actually caused her own stepmother to have her arm amputated, what will they think of me? And what would they think of the Harold family?" Ruby looked shocked and tried desperately to exin. It was just the smile that sat on the corner of her mouth that was real. Unfortunately, Spencer could not see the expression on her face at that moment. A cold sweat broke out as he listened to Ruby''s words, and he immediately reacted. Ruby is not a simple person now, no longer an outcast daughter of the Harold family, she is now the fianc¨¦es of young master of the Finn family, and this status alone is enough to shock many people. "Ruby, don¡¯t be anxious, I don¡¯t mean to me you. Are you outside now? Do you have enough money to spend?" Spencer raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead before he smiled and spoke with a few ingratiating touches within his tone. The smile at the corners of Ruby''s mouth went bigger, and she looked as if she had been greatly aggrieved: "Dad, does Susan not like me? Why is she wronging me?" "How could that be? How could she not like you? She likes you a lot." Spencer began to sweat again. "Then why did she use me wrongly? Dad, which hospital are you in? I''vee to see Susan, if she really doesn''t like me, then I''ll watch my behavior when I marry into the Finn family." Ruby still had that moody look, as if she was really hurt. Spencer gave a nce at Susan, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a sad expression, and told Ruby the location of the hospital before hanging up the phone. Once Susan saw that he hung up the phone, she shouted in a shrill voice, "Spencer! That Ruby is a monster! She really is a monster! She just pinched my shoulder and the doctor said that my nerves were necrotic and that I had to have my arm amputated. You have to believe me, you have to believe me!" Spencer looked at her with this crazy look and felt some revulsion and disgust. He pulled his face long and looked at Susan with a disappointed look on his face, "Enough, if she was capable of this, would you still have a life to tell me off? Her status is not what it used to be, there''s no need to keep targeting her. This time you''ve gone too far." Susan looked at Spencer in disbelief, her face pale, her mouth open, but she could not say anything. Chapter 54 Make Unfounded Countercharges Chapter 54 Make Unfounded Countercharges Ruby soon arrived at the hospital. Susan was devastated and sitting on the hospital bed with a pale face, Spencer was also standing by with an unhappy face. The atmosphere in the ward was odd, as if the two had just had a disagreement and were not happy. Ruby stood in the doorway for a moment, curbed the smile on her face, and entered the ward with a soft and resigned look. "Dad, Susan." "How dare youe? Ruby! Tell your father, did you hurt me or not!" As soon as she saw Ruby, Susan became so excited that she jumped up, pointing at Ruby and cursing. Ruby shrank back in fear, her eyes instantly red, looking at Susan softly and helplessly, defending herself in a small voice: "Susan, what are you talking about? Howe I didn''t understand?" "You''re still pretending! You''re the one who came home today, and you said you only wanted one of my hands, next time it''ll be my life! How dare you say you haven''te back to the Harold family?" Susan looked at Ruby¡¯s innocent look and felt a heart attack. This was how she ndered Nellie back then! Ruby returned it all to her today. "Dad, I, I really don''t know what Susan is talking about, I did go back to the Harold¡¯s today, but, but it was Susan called me to go back. After I went back, she said that I was just a lowly wild child, asked me to find a chance to set up Rita and the second young master of the Finn family. I didn''t agree, so she, she scolded me, then I left home." Ruby looked towards Spencer, her tears falling. Spencer looked at Ruby''s aggrieved look and thought of what Susan had said about Ruby in front of him in the past, and he was convinced. He looked at Susan with a cold face, seeing that she still looked like this fierce, he was not happy, and his voice a bit colder: "Enough, Susan! I have told you, it has nothing to do with Ruby, just stop that.¡± "Spencer! You don''t believe me!" Susan was devastated and stared at Spencer. Spencer closed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, there was no longer any warmth under his eyes: "The wedding between Levi and Ruby is still a few days away, do you have to make a big fuss and make everyone upset?" Susan''s face went pale as she looked at the man she had loved all her life in front of her. Spencer''s eyes will never have anything other than profit. But anyone who stands in his way, he will ruthlessly get rid of. It was Nellie in the beginning, and it may be her in the future. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Susan swayed, her face full of despair. Ruby looked at her and sneered in her heart, but her face was still that soft and pitiful look as she went over and gently held Spencer''s sleeve: "Dad, Susan may really not like me, in fact, I can understand that. I may as well not have the wedding in the Harold¡¯s, lest she is unhappy and have a fight with you." Ruby was so understanding, and Spencer was sorry for her, and he grew inpatient as she looked at Susan, "Ruby, don¡¯t listen to her, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect you. Just don''t worry, stay at home and marry at ease when the timees." "But ......" "No buts, the Harold family is still my call." Spencer directly interrupted Ruby''s words. Only then did Ruby reluctantly agree. Susan was so angry that her chest hurt and she looked at the father and daughter with a white face, only to feel ridiculous. Spencer really was shameless in order to be able to cooperate with the Finn family. "Dad, I''ll go back first. Levi is still waiting for me." Ruby lowered her head with a shy look. Spencer became more and more satisfied with the situation. Even if Levi''s leg is crippled and his face is disfigured, his status will not change. The fact that Ruby is on good terms with Levi means that the future rtionship between the Finn Group and the Harold Group will also be good. The more he looked at Ruby, the more satisfied he felt now. He had even forgotten how Ruby had ckmailed him at the very beginning. After Ruby left, Susan coldly snorted, "Spencer, good for you. Don''t you forget, Ruby is not your daughter, if she knows ......" "Shut up! Susan! If you say one more word, I''ll get you killed!" This matter will always be a pain in Spencer''s heart, and at this moment, being bluntly spoken by Susan like this, he immediately felt shameless. He looked at Susan with a fierce face, as if he wanted to kill her. Susan''s face changed and she pursed her lips, not daring to speak again. Spencer gasped violently and red at Susan: "Ruby is my daughter, even if she dies, she is still my daughter! Don''t you ever mention this matter again! No!" After saying this without bothering to look at Susan again, he turned around and angrily left the ward. Susan looked at his back with resentment, her fingers pinching fiercely into her palm. When Ruby came out of the hospital, she had no intention of going back to Shangcheng International but took a taxi directly to the Finn¡¯s. Rita treated the Finn family as her own home and stayed in peace, even when Susan was in the hospital, she knew nothing. When Ruby entered the door, she was sitting there drinking coffee and eating snacks, rxed and cozy. "Sister, you are quite leisure." Ruby walked over slowly, pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. Rita was disgusted at the sight of Ruby and threw the small spoon in her hand onto the table, questioning impatiently, "Ruby, why are you back!?" "Ha." Rubyughed when she heard her words, "Those who don''t know think that this is the Harold¡¯s house and you are the mistress of the Harold family. Sister, Make it clear, this is the Finn family, you are just the sister of the future wife of Levi, while I, am Levi¡¯s wife, the future mistress of this family, understand?" Rita''s face was pale as she was cruelly rebuked by Ruby like this, but she still held her chest out and defiantly replied: "Future mistress? You''re not worthy. I''m about to marry the second young master of the Finn family, the future mistress of the Finn family will only be me, and you, you''re just marrying a trash, what''s there to be proud of?" "Tsk, I thought you would at least pretend." Ruby couldn''t help admiring Rita''s confidence and shamelessness. Now that Lennon has not even returned home and does not even know Rita, but she is already iming herself to be mistress of the Finn family. "Ruby, I''m telling you, you''d better not challenge my patience, if you push me, I''ll do anything! I''ll be Lennon¡¯s wife for sure! If you dare to spoil my good deeds, hehe, I''ll Make you regret it!" Rita had long since she had a fight with Ruby, so she didn''t bother pretending to have any sisterly affection. Ruby narrowed her eyes and looked coldly at Rita. Rita moved closer, her voice provocative and arrogant: "Haven''t you been looking for that jade pendant your mother was carrying when she died? What a coincidence, I have it." As Rita''s words fell, Ruby could not help but change her face, and the gaze she looked at Rita grew colder and more dangerous. Chapter 55 Ill Help You Chapter 55 I''ll Help You Ruby''s face was unruffled, but the hand hanging down at her side was quietly clenched. Nellie''s relic must be retrieved. She knew that the jade pendant, which had been passed down from the Grant family''s ancestors, was very important and could not fall into Rita''s hands. "What do you want!?" "As I said, I want to be Lennon¡¯s wife and be the mistress of the Finn family. You just have to help me set things up, and when I marry Lennon, I will naturally give it to you." Rita looked at Ruby''s This feeling of stepping on Ruby underfoot is really good. The original feeling of being out of control had finally disappeared, Ruby was still the same trash she had been back then, simply unbearable. Ruby recalled Levi at this moment. He must have a reason to pretend to be crippled. Lennon wanted to seize power and be the master of the Finn family, but it was not that simple. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The future may not be free from the liquidation of Levi. Since Rita was so impatient to die, how could she not be satisfied? "Yes, I can help you. And I guarantee that Lennon will marry you, but you''d better keep your promise and return my mother''s relics to me when the timees!" When Nellie died, Ruby was still too young to be able to keep those things she left behind. Not long after Nellie''s death, something happened to the Grant family. Her grandfather died of a cerebral hemorrhage and her grandmother became seriously ill, and is now still lying in the ward, hanging on by medication. She couldn''t die in peace seeing Spencer and the others receive the punishment they deserved. Ruby looked at Rita''s smug look and the corners of her lips ticked inaudibly. "Okay! As long as you do what you say, I definitely won''t lie to you!" Rita was inexplicably excited, and had even imagined how powerful she would be when she became the mistress of the Finn family. "Of course." Ruby smiled, gave Rita a deep look and got up to leave. Rita touched her face inexplicably, always feeling that Ruby had a deeper meaning in that look. Ruby went straight to her room, which hadn''t been moved much in the few days she hadn''t been back, and everything was the same as when she had left. Rubyfortablyy down on the bed, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Levi: "Dear Mr. Fiance, I''m home, why aren''t you at home? It''s the third day I can''t see you, I miss you a bit." After sending it out, Ruby took a look at it herself and felt disgusted, so she guessed Levi would be disgusted too. She couldn''t imagine how Levi would look when he saw the text message and felt quite pity. At this moment, in Shangcheng International, Levi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling ss window, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice. He frowned slightly, took out his phone, saw Ruby sent a message, he subconsciously clicked on it. After reading the message, his expression was inexplicably serious. This woman is flirting with him? Heh. Levi put the phone into his pocket and turned around to leave Shangcheng International. Ruby sleptfortably inside her room, and when she got up, it hasn¡¯t dark outside. She yawned and walked out of her room, and only when she came out, she saw Levi in his wheelchair, moving it by himself, just going up to the first floor. When they met, Ruby looked natural and smiled at him, and then she walked over, put her hands on the wheelchair and pushed Levi around: "You are back so early? Have you eaten meal?" "It''s not that you miss me?" Levi''s eyebrows were sparse, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Ruby, the corners of his mouth faintly tinged with a little smile. The smile on Ruby''s face froze for a moment, but quickly returned to its natural state and she answered, "Yes, thank you foring back to apany me to dinner." Levi looked at Ruby, who had a wide smile on her face, her eyebrows arched and she looked as if she was really happy. Only the eyes were inly cold and devoid of any emotion. Ruby''s disguise fooled others, but not him. However, they were just cooperating, so Levi did not bother, but by a faint nce, he then withdrew his gaze. Ruby dropped her hands on the wheelchair, and seeing that Levi was silent, she did not bother to make a fool of herself, pushing him, with a gentle and quiet smile on her face, it seemed as if the two were getting along very well. The two of them went downstairs together, and Hattie looked at them with a slightly sarcastic smile. A trash and a bumpkin was quite a match indeed. Ruby is restless even though she is getting married, and she doesn''t know where she has gone these days. She guesses she will be more restless after she gets married. "Ruby, you''re back. Why do you look like you''ve lost weight? Where have you been these past few days? Did you not rest well?" The mockery under Hattie''s eyes narrowed and she got up to smile at Ruby with a smile. Ruby looked at her and smiled cooperatively, "Mom, I didn''t go anywhere, I just went back to the Harold family. As you know, I''ve been out of the country for several years, and now that I''m about to get married, I''m more or less sad to leave my family." "That''s so, you are really filial." Hattie pondered and smiled, not meaning to expose her. Ruby said a few words to Hattie in a hypocritical manner, and the two had a big smile, which seemed to be a harmonious scene. Levi looked at Ruby, who was hypocritical, and couldn''t help but silently look away. After exchanging a few words with Hattie, Ruby pped her forehead as if she had just remembered something, "Oh, my sister has been staying at the Finn¡¯s for the past few days, and my parents said they missed her and asked her toe home for a visit." Rita happened to be smiling as she walked over, and when she heard Ruby''s words, her face suddenly darkened and she was about to snap. "My dad is getting old, plus I''m getting married soon. He was supposed to have a birthday celebration next month, but now he wants to move it up and have it before I get married, so he wants my sister to go home and help out. I might have to go back for a few days too, Mom, you won''t me me for not staying home to look after Levi, will you?" With a look of regret and worry, Ruby looked cautiously at Hattie. The moment Hattie heard this, she understood Spencer''s intentions. She was disgusted of the Harold family for doing this, but she did not want to stop it. It was good that the Harold family made a fuss, and it was better to make a fool of themselves in front of the entire Sea City people, then Levi will also disgrace from it, in that way, he is less qualified to grab the session of the Finn family with Lennon. "Go ahead, there are servants in the house, it won''t be a problem." Hattie graciously gave her permission. "Thank you, Mom, you''re so kind to me!" Ruby rushed forward ingratiatingly and took Hattie''s arm. She also deliberately lifted her arm to reveal the one bracelet she had given her earlier. Hattie was angry when she saw the bracelet, it was not a valuable thing, but she couldn''t take it off once she put it on. Now that Ruby was deliberately lifting her hand and showed it to her, how could she not see what Ruby meant? It''s nothing more than trying to have something from her to Spencer''s birthday. She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and still spoke with a smile, "Your father seems to be quite fond of calligraphy and painting, I just happened to have recently received a piece of writing from a famous painter, let the butler bring it to you." "Thank you, Mom!" Ruby smiled even more brightly. Chapter 56 Arrangements Chapter 56 Arrangements She had spent 50 million to get her hands on that writing, which was worth a lot of money, and it was unpleasant to think that it will be given to the Harold family. Especially now that Ruby was smiling with a viinous smile, clearly happy to have won something good, but she was sad. But even if she was unhappy, she still had to maintain a smile on her face, so her smile looked a little stiff. Levi looked at Ruby with some surprise. He knew his stepmother very well, and she was closefisted. Even for Isabe''s birthday, she would not want to take anything out of her private coffers, but she was so generous this time that she gave Ruby that valuable writing. He couldn''t help but look at Ruby, and then his gaze fell on Hattie''s face, who was obviously furious inside, but still trying to put on a smile, suddenly he felt in a good mood. "Sister, how can we have things from others?" Rita finally found a chance to speak up and reminded Ruby. "This gift is not for me, but for our dad. This is proof that our family is on good terms with the Finn family." Ruby looked at Rita in surprise and opened her mouth in a serious manner to exin. Rita''s face changed, and it was not good to speak again when she heard this. It was just that the way Hattie looked at Rita again at this time waspletely different. Since Ruby had to go back on the pretext of Spencer''s birthday, she went out with Rita after dinner and left in the Finn family''s car. When Rita got into the car, she pulled long her face and red fiercely at Ruby, "Ruby, did you do that on purpose?" "Deliberately what!?" Ruby asked rhetorically, not knowing how to pretend to understand. "You knew I wanted to stay with the Finn¡¯s, but you deliberately stirred me up to leave! You didn''t do it on purpose?" Rita almost couldn''t resist pping Ruby on the face. Ruby put one arm around her shoulders and exined to her in a serious tone, "Sis, you are wronging me, I am doing this for your own good." "Oh, you think I believe you? You just can''t see me marrying better than you." Rita scoffed at Ruby''s words. Ruby sighed and exined seriously: "Think about it, if you live in the Finn family without a name, what will Hattie think of you? What will the servants of the Finn family say about you? Wouldn''t they think that you are shameless and that you are living in the Finn family for a certain purpose?" Ruby''s words were so convincing that Rita actually had no way to refute them and felt that she had a point. At first she only thought of finding a chance to get close to Lennon, staying in the Finn family is the most direct and effective, she never thought of this point at all. Now when she was reminded by Ruby, she suddenly broke out in cold sweat and grabbed Ruby''s hand with some anxiety, "What do I do now? I''ve been staying at Finn''s house for several days, why didn''t you tell me in advance?" "Is it useful for me to tell you? Will you believe me? You''ll only think I''m screwing you over." Ruby looked innocent, and sighed helplessly. "Ruby, don''t think I''ll believe you that you''d be so kind as to want to help me?" Rita grunted. "If that''s the case, then the good show I''ve carefully arranged for you shouldn''t be used. It seems that you are nning to take the test yourself to go after Lennon." "What! What have you arranged!?" Rita was easily distracted by Ruby''s words and asked with a face full of excitement. The corners of Ruby''s lips curved. Her sister was really silly, much better to be dealt with than Susan. "As long as you listen to me, I guarantee that you can be Lennon¡¯s wife. But then, what you promised me, you must give it me." Ruby reached out, stroked the long hair that fell down the side of her face, and looked at Rita with a smile. "Yes, but if you dare to lie to me, I will not let you go!" Rita promised, but at the end she couldn''t hold back and made a vicious threat. Ruby could not help but let out a tsk, this person''s psychological defense is so weak? She really believed it? She originally thought it would take quite a lot of effort to convince Rita, but she didn''t expect Rita to believe it after a few words. "Now let''s go home first, in two days dad has a birthday celebration. He will definitely invite people from the Finn family, by then Lennon will definitelye too, I will arrange the opportunity for you. You have to seize the opportunity then and try to seed in one go, understand?" Ruby leaned close to Rita''s ear and whispered to her about her n. Rita nodded her head repeatedly, her eyes shining brightly, convinced of Ruby. It was alreadyte when they got back home, so Ruby didn''t run around but went to her room. It had been many years since she had been back. Ruby looked at everything in front of her with a kind of trance-like feeling, as if she had gone back to many years ago, when she was still the firstdy of the Harold family, Nellie was still there, and they were a family of three, happy and harmonious. She got up early the next day and went for a run. Spencer was already sitting in the living room eating breakfast after she returned from her run. The house is much quieter with Susan in hospital. Rita rubbed her eyes and came down from upstairs, seeing that Susan was missing, she couldn''t help but ask Spencer in confusion, "Dad, where is mom?" Spencer was reading the newspaper while drinking his coffee, and as he threw the newspaper in his hand, he said unhappily, "Your mother is not here." "Why are you yelling at me?" Rita gave Spencer an inexplicable look. Only then did Spencer realize that his attitude towards Rita was a bit too much. He took a deep breath and steadied his mind before calming down his attitude, "Nothing, your mother had an ident, she''s in the hospital. She''s having an operation today, if you want to go to the hospital to see her, you can still make it now." "What!?" Rita was shocked and didn''t care about anything else, she asked the location of the hospital and had the family driver send herself over to the hospital. Ruby came in wiping her sweat, said hello to Spencer and went straight upstairs. When she came down, Spencer hadn''t left yet, so Ruby knew he must be up to something. "Dad, is there something you want to tell me?" Ruby asked in a very thoughtful manner. Spencer immediately looked at Ruby withfort, he felt that Ruby was really sweet and understanding, unlike Rita, whose heart only went to Susan. "It''s like this, that project of the Finn Group has a problem, can you tell the Finn family not to pursue it?" Spencer rubbed his hands together and spoke with a rosy face. Ruby was slightly stunned, not expecting Spencer to be so bold, and actually dared to make moves on the project. "Dad, I''ll ask Levi. But he doesn''t care about thepany now, so I don''t know if he can handle it. By the way, I told Hattie that you''re having a birthday celebration in a few days, and the Finn family will be here then. If my sister can get on with Lennon, then thepany''s business, for sure, won''t be a problem." Ruby reminded Spencer of this, and Spencer''s eyes lit up as he began to calcte in his ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. mind. Chapter 57 A Trap Chapter 57 A Trap "I know, are you going out?" Spencer had an idea in his mind, and then looking at Ruby. "Well, I haven''t been back for some years, and I''ve arranged to meet up with some friends." Ruby replied perfunctorily. Not really caring where she was going, Spencer waved her off. The smile on Ruby''s face disappeared as soon as she left the front door, and she didn''t ask the Harold family driver to drop her off, she went out of the neighborhood and took a taxi to her destination. At the clinic of Jared, Kevin''s face hadpletely healed, with no marks visible and his skin much smoother than before. Jared kept circling around Kevin, felt it amazing, not expecting that the ointment was even more effective than he had imagined. For an injury of this magnitude on Kevin''s face, even the best ointment on the market today that activates blood cirction and resolves blood stasis would take at least half a month to heal, and there is no guarantee that it would not leave a scar. However, Ruby''s ointment healed the wound in just three days, leaving no trace at all. "Your ointment ......," Jared''s eyes fell on the ointment Kevin had ced on a low cab, and his eyes were somewhat intent. Once he gets a bit of it and analyze the ingredients, not to mention the value, the effect alone of being able to make traumatic wounds heal quickly would be enough to make countless military men fight for it. That''s exactly what Levi needs. "It is mine!" Kevin took the ointment over with a wary face, protecting it in his arms and looking intently at Jared. The corners of Jared''s mouth twitched fiercely. Ruby¡¯s younger brother is not cute at all, just like her. "I''m not asking for it, I just want to take a bit to analyze the ingredients, can you ......" Although Jared cursed in his heart, he was really interested in this ointment, so he pressed his voice and spoke again. "No. It''s from my sister!" Kevin guarded the ointment in his hand. Ruby was not giving much in the first ce, so little he used it every day for the past few days, and it was almost used up. "How about just a little? I''ll buy it from you. You can have as much as you want." "Oh? Really?" Just at that moment, a cold voice faintly sounded behind him. With the sound of footsteps, a faint fragrance permeates the inside of the room. Jared turned around and looked at the person behind him, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Is that ointment form for sale? I''ll give you 100 million, will you sell it to me?" Ruby narrowed her eyes at Jared and replied crisply, "Not for sale." Jared had a disappointed face: "Why? Is 100 million not enough? Then I''ll give you 200 million, How about 200 million?" "Thanks, I''m not short of money." She had quite a few of those industries under her name, she was not short of this 200 million. Moreover, that form involved something not simple, and if it was released rashly, it would attract attention. Ruby is capable of defending herself, but those around her are not. Kevin still has to go back to the capital to study, in case something happens, she will have to cry then. "Please, I really have a very important use for it, the kind where people''s lives are at stake." Jared put his palms together devoutly and made a serious obeisance to Ruby. Ruby was silent, pursing her lips as she looked at him. Jared still thought there was a chance but he heard the woman''s faintly cool voice ring out faintly with a hint of confusion, "Do you even want to lose dignity for a recipe?" "What do I need dignity for! I want the form, if you can give it to me, I can kneel down and call you father!" Jared said. Ruby: "There is no need for that, I don''t want a son that big." Kevin couldn''t help butugh at this. Ruby red at him, "Pack up your things and go back to school right now, don''t run around, and don''t go stirring up trouble again, understand? Otherwise I will break your legs." Kevin was gloating, but now he was in despair: "Sister, it''s rare for me toe back." "Heh, having fun being a dude? Or didn''t you get enough of that lesson in the lockup? Still want to be beaten up?" Ruby narrowed her eyes, her tone unpleasant. Kevin knew that she was really angry. This time he had indeed made a big mistake and almost lost his life, so it was reasonable for Ruby to be angry. Kevin bowed his head, not daring to retort. "Your injury has healed, buy a ticket back now." Ruby knocked on the bedside of the hospital bed. Jared froze and looked at Kevin incredulously, "No way, he''s healed?" Such a serious injury! His heart and lung punctured by broken ribs! Shouldn''t he spend half a month in a hospital bed? Ruby looked at him indifferently, "I can provide you with these ointments, but you have to help me keep the secret." Kevin had recovered from his injuries so quickly, once someone with an ulterior motive knew about it, they would definitely look for him and might even arrest him for a test to see if there was anything special about his body. Ruby did not want Kevin to be in danger, so she preferred topromise. Looking at Ruby, who was not evenpromising in the face of 200 million just now, but now "Deal!" "One hundred grams per month." Ruby added silently. Jared: "......" A hundred grams? What can he do with a hundred grams? But looking at Ruby''s serious face, Jared held a fluke in his heart, in case he could analyze the ingredients by himself, wouldn''t it be possible to replicate it? A hundred grams is eptable. "Okay, deal." The two of them happily finalized their cooperation. Ruby ignored Jared and urged Kevin to pack his things, and at the same time booked him a ticket for a 3pm flight back to the capital. Spencer knew nothing about Kevin''s ident up to now, so she did not tell him. After sending Kevin away, Ruby stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling ss window of the airport, looking at the ne that was lifting off, she took a long time to withdraw her gaze. Kevin went back to the capital, and it was time to deal with the Powell family. She turned on her Bluetooth headset and dialed a number out, "Thepany is now starting to go into H Country, focusing on the capital. I don¡¯t want to see the Powell family, create some trouble for them, so they don''t have time to target Kevin." "The Powell family in the capital?" The person on the other end of the phone was confused, followed by a crackling of keyboards, and then a long silence. "You''re wasting my talent for such a trashy little family, aren''t you?" "Well, I want it to be foolproof. Kevin must not be in any danger." Ruby approved of the other party¡¯s words, but she had to get rid of the Powell family. Since they dare toy hands on Kevin, she would never let go. "Okay. You''re the boss, you call the shots." The other party agreed to do so, as if making one of the families at the top of the pyramid in H Country disappear was nothing more than a trivial matter.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Chapter 58 Susan Goes Crazy Chapter 58 Susan Goes Crazy The Powell family in Capital. Toby Powell looked down at his phone absently, his brow furrowed, feeling vaguely jittery. It is reasonable to say that news should havee from the Sea City, and whether that bastard Kevin is dead or alive, there should also be a letter, howe it has been a few days and still no news? He suppressed the unease in his mind and smiled at the old man in front of him. His grandfather Angus Powell was not happy to see him like this and as he was just about to reprimand him, someone ran in with a panicked look and shouted as soon as he entered, "Bad news! Bad news!" "What''s the rush? What''s happened?" Angus was a soldier for a few years when he was young, and even at an older age, his aura is still there. When he saw the visitor''s anxious look, he was displeased and scolded with a stern face. The old man took a moment to catch his breath before speaking, "Mr. Angus, the Powell Group is going bankrupt." "What!?" Even if Angus was calm enough to hear these words, he stood up abruptly and looked at the person in front of him with round eyes, even suspecting for a moment that his ears were faulty. The Powell Group is going bankrupt? Even if the Powell family is not the top family in H Country, it is still ranked among the top families in the capital, plus there are all kinds of inws in the capital, and the interests are colluded. If you want the Powell family to go bankrupt, unless those few big families in the capital who never meddle in affairs step in, but even they can''t make the Powell family go bankrupt! The old man wiped his cold sweat: "Just, just now, all of the Powell Group¡¯s suppliers suddenly called and said that they wanted to break their cooperation with us, and that they wanted us to immediately pay back all the money we owed for goods before. In addition our partners have also terminated their cooperation with us." "The factory in the south of the city was seized after it was found to have excessive emissions and dangerous operations." "Our KTV was found to have people dealing drugs and now it''s been closed down as well." "There was also that project with the municipal government, which was reported to have cut corners and used inferior materials, and arge amount of inferior materials were found at the construction site. Now the government department wants to hold us responsible for breach of contract." "Mr. Angus, it is really, really finished." After the old man finished speaking, Angus fell onto the sofa, and in an instant it seemed as if he had aged a lot. "Why, how is that possible?" If it was a coincidence that all sorts of problems were urring at the same time, he would not believe it. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Angus has at least been in business for many years and knows that there must be someone behind the scenes to mess with the Powell Group. He shuddered, feeling powerless for the first time. "Then the Bailey Duncan ......" The Bailey Duncan and the Powell family were inws, and the only thing Angus could think of right now was to seek the help from the Bailey Duncan to get through this time. "Mr. Angus, the Bailey Duncan, from the very beginning, let the word out, saying that this time it was our Powell family who had offended the big shot, and they would not help us." "Big shot?" Angus seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life, "Investigate it, now! Find out who is really trying to mess with the Powell family! Make sure you find him out!" As long as he knows who is behind it, there is a slight chance of salvation. The Powell family must not fall, at least not in his hands. Toby''s face changed slightly at this time, not knowing why, he always felt that it might have something to do with him. He was just a member of the side branch of the Powell family, and if it wasn''t for his luck that he got into King University and entered the research institute, following Dr. Moore in his research, it''s unlikely that Angus would have brought him into the main family. Ever since those people in Sea City dyed contacting him, Toby had already sensed that something was wrong, and at this point, seeing that something had happened to the Powell family again, he really panicked. ** Sea City. After sending Kevin away, Ruby went straight back to the Harold¡¯s. Just as she entered the door, she heard the sharp voice of Susane out. Ruby could not help but raise her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth curved as she walked into the house. Susan''s left arm has been amputated, and at this moment, sitting there crying and fussing, Spencer only felt headache. "It''s you! It''s you! Ruby, you bitch! What the hell have you done to me! What the hell have you done to me!?" As soon as Susan saw Ruby return, her eyes turned red and she lunged towards her. Ruby avoided her by turning slightly sideways. Susan was so strong that she failed to brake for a moment and her whole body lost its bnce and moved forward, ending up on the ground. She was in a state of disarray, hideous and crazy, with no semnce of a noblewoman''s manners. "Susan, what are you doing!?" Ruby stood there, looking at Susan with an innocent face. Susan gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw this look: "How dare you say you didn''te back and hurt me that day? Now that my hand is gone, are you happy? Happy?" "What! Susan, you lost your hand? How did that happen? What has happened?" Ruby came forward with a surprised look on her face and reached out to help Susan. Susan now hated and feared Ruby, and as soon as she reached out, the image of Ruby disabling her left hand came to her mind, and she immediately turned pale with fear and backed up desperately, "You, don''te over! Don''te over!" "Susan, what''s wrong with you? Let me help you up." Ruby leaned forward cautiously and extended her hand towards Susan. "Ah - you get away! Get away! Don''t touch me! Don''t touch me!" Susan broke down and cried out, waving one hand to keep Ruby away. Ruby stopped moving with an innocent look on her face and turned her head to look at Spencer: "Dad, what''s wrong with Susan? Is she alright?" Spencer was tired of that, and when he heard Ruby ask, he coldly ordered the maid toe over and pull Susan away. "Dad, Susan is emotionally unstable, but you''re having your birthday party tomorrow, will she cause any trouble?" Ruby knows that Spencer value his reputation the most. Now Susan is crazy, he will definitely not let Susan attend his birthday party, even today he will send Susan away. Sure enough, just as her words fell, Spencer''s face changed, looking at Susan''s crazy and screaming appearance, the disgust in his eyes became heavier and heavier: "She is stimted, I''m afraid she can''t stay at home, I will send her to a sanatorium." "The sanatorium at North Mountain is quite good." Ruby suggested kindly. Spencer nodded, his mind already made up. That afternoon, Susan was forcibly sent out of the house and to the North Mountain Sanatorium. The North Mountain Sanatorium, which is said to be a sanatorium but is actually a psychiatric hospital, is the kind of ce where it''s hard to get out. Ruby watched indifferently as Susan cried with resentment, and finally she was shoved into the car and sent away. The corners of Ruby¡¯s mouth hooked up in a smile, and she turned around and went back to her room. This is only just the beginning. What the Harold family owed her, what they owed her mother and her grandparents, she would always get back, little by little. Chapter 59 Spencer鈥檚 Birthday Chapter 59 Spencer¡¯s Birthday "Dad, you sent Mom to the North Mountains Sanatorium? How could you send her to a ce like that?" Rita hurriedly entered the door, handing the bag to the maid on the side before rushing over to pull Spencer''s sleeve. If word got out that she had a psychotic mother, how could she get married? The fact that Susan was a mistress has been criticized by many people, and now there is such a mess. Rita gave Ruby a vicious re, knowing that this matter must have nothing to do with Ruby. Ruby had an innocent look on her face and did not exin. "Your mother is sick, and I''m just sending her there to recuperate." Spencer''s face sank, feeling somewhat displeased at Rita for questioning him so rudely. In the past, Rita was polite and understanding, and would make him happy, and he was satisfied with this daughter, but now ...... Spencer looked at Rita and then at Ruby, and could not help but feel disappointed in his heart. Rita and Ruby are really too far apart. Genes are important. Nellie was ady from the Grand family, educated and reasonable, much better than Susan. Her daughter is the best in every aspect. In this circle of Sea City, there is hardly anyone who can match Ruby''s face. "But North Mountain Sanatorium is a psychiatric hospital! Can Mom stille out after she goes in? Dad, I beg you, please take Mom back, take her back, okay?" Rita subconsciously argued, grabbing Spencer''s hand again and begging bitterly. Spencer waved her off, "Let''s talk about this when the birthday banquet is over and your mother has recovered from her illness. Tomorrow night is the birthday banquet, so prepare well and don''t worry about these things." Rita was pushed and fell to the ground, looking at Spencer with a disbelieving expression. Spencer had always doted on her and never be angry with him, but, he repeatedly lost his temper with himself after Ruby returned. Rita inexplicably felt some panic in her heart. "Sister, don''t be upset, I think Susan will definitely be fine. Tomorrow is Dad''s birthday banquet, whether you can be Lennon¡¯ wife depends on tomorrow. If the Finn family sees Susan going crazy at home, what will they think? I''ve heard that mental illness has a probability of being contagious." Ruby stepped forward and helped Rita up, thoughtfully patting the somewhat frayed hem of her skirt before speaking in a low voice to remind her. Rita was suddenly jolted and gave Ruby a panicked look before pushing her away, "What are you talking nonsense about! My Mom is not a psycho!" With that she turned and ran upstairs. Ruby curled her mouth as she watched her back and sat back down on the sofa. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ** Spencer has invited countless celebrities from Sea City for birthday banquet, and it was only before five o''clock when guests were already arriving one after another. The Harold''s vi wasrge enough that the entire hall was sorted out and used as a ce to hold banquets. Ruby was currently wearing a smoky grey dress,zily leaning against the fence on the first floor, looking at the guests downstairs, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Rita was dressed to the nines today, in a white, diamond-encrusted, boat neck gown that set off her delicate and lovely figure. "Rita, you''re so pretty today, this dress isn''t cheap, is it?" Eva Chow looked at Rita''s expensive gown with a bit of envy in her eyes. The Harold family is considered a second-rate family in Sea City, and now that they are inws of the Finn family, in this way, they have a promising future, so many people are now bending over backwards to Spencer. Eva''s father has also repeatedly told her to please Rita and get on good terms with her. "It''s not very expensive, a million or so." Rita smiled haughtily, but her eyes were focused on the direction of the main entrance. It was already six o''clock and the Finn family hadn''t arrived yet, so she was anxious and didn''t know if Lennon would reallye. As she was thinking, there was a sudden mour at the door and her eyes lit up as she ignored Eva and hurried towards the door. Spencer was already one step ahead of the others at the door to wee the guests. The people who came in at the door were none other than Hattie and Lennon, in addition to a man in a wheelchair wearing a mask, Levi. As soon as these few people appeared, the entire house came alive. The Finn family is one of the top families in Sea City, so they usually have little chance to get in touch with them, so they naturally won''t miss the opportunity now. Many eyes in the room fell on Levi''s body, especially on his legs. The corners of her mouth twitched as Ruby looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair with an air of nobleness, this man actually came to join the fun, and she didn''t know what he wanted. She thought about it and went downstairs with her ss of wine in her hand. Her fianc¨¦ is here and she should go and greet him. "Is that Mr. Levi of the Finn family?" "Yeah, I heard that the ident didn''t just ruin his legs, but his face was disfigured too. Tsk, I wonder how ugly he must look. He''s afraid to see people, and even wears a mask in broad daylight." "I guess he''s pretty ugly. He has a disabled leg, I guess he can''t have children. In the future, it looks like he has no hope of inheriting the Finn family." The few celebrities who had gathered looked at the man in the wheelchair and judged at him with a very obvious contempt and disdain in their eyes. Ruby stopped in her tracks and gave a nce at those gossiping women. She walked to them and suddenly sprained the ankle, so she could not stand firm, and her wine spilled towards those gossiping women. "Ah..." "Are you crazy?" "What are you doing!?" Those women had never expected Ruby to Make a direct move, they were sshed with wine and became sticky. "Oops, I''m so sorry, I didn''t stand still just now, are you okay? Your clothes are all wet, do you want to go and change?" Ruby had already stood firmly on her feet, and when she saw a few women surrounding her, she spoke with an innocent face and apologized. She seemed so sincere that several women had the intention of having a fit, but they didn''t dare to make a scene for the sake of the Harold family and the status Ruby now represented. "Forget it, I won''t bother with you." Looking at Ruby''s innocent face tinged with apology, they suppressed the anger in their hearts and spoke in a depressed manner. "No, how much are your clothes, I''ll pay you back." Ruby took two steps forward and pulled them in. "No need." "Miss Harold, you''d better go and greet the guests, we''ll just go and change ourselves, no need for They were annoyed at the sight of Ruby, seeing how vulgar she was, not up to par at all, and when they said one more word to her, they felt they were humiliating themselves. They were anxious to get on with their image, after all, there were quite a few famous and noble men here today and they still needed to hook up with them. "No, no, I''m sure I''ll have to pay for getting your clothes wet. The outfit of yours should be thetest version from the C Brand this year, right? If I''m not mistaken, the price should be around two hundred thousand. I''ll give you two hundred thousand." Ruby reached out and tugged at the gown on one of them and said a price. That woman''s face changed, and she pursed her lips without speaking. "What brand is this outfit of yours? I didn''t recognize it. Sorry, I haven''t seen any big brands." Ruby pointed at the clothes on the other woman, "But it''ll count for two hundred thousand." "You!" "For the three of you, I''ll give you a million. All the clothes you''re wearing are mine now, so please take them off and give them to me." Ruby handed over a card straight away. Chapter 60 Mr. Levi is A Psycho Chapter 60 Mr. Levi is A Psycho "What''s the matter? Not enough?" Seeing the three of them staring at herself with angry eyes, but half-heartedly not reaching for the bank card, Ruby asked innocently. At this moment, she looked innocent and harmless, but with a few simple words, she put the three women in front of her in an extremely awkward situation. Levi had noticed this from the moment he entered, and naturally he had heard the women talking. Looking at Ruby''s stance at this moment, it looks like she is defending him. Heughed softly and pushed his wheelchair over, raising his eyes lightly and looking at the three women in front of him, "Do you not understand the words of my fianc¨¦e?" "Mr. Levi ......" The three of them were still calm and collected when they faced Ruby, but when they faced Levi, they were so scared that they shivered subconsciously. Levi had a bad reputation in the past, he was ruthless and murderous, now that he is crippled and disfigured, he is probably even more psychologically sick. They hastily reached out to take the card in Ruby''s hand and were about to turn around to leave, but they heard the man''s cool voice ring out again, "Take the clothes off." "Sister, brother-inw! It''s dad''s birthday today, please don¡¯t mess around ......" Just when they were furious, Rita happened to walk over with Lennon. Seeing that it was impossible to close the scene, Rita hurriedly opened her mouth to save the situation. "Why should I?" Levi raised his eyes indifferently to look at Rita, his gaze falling smoothly on Lennon at her side, and replied in a casual manner. Rita''s face went white and her face was grim. Lennon spoke gently at this point: "Brother, why make things difficult for a few girls? It''s not good to spread the word." "Well, I''m happy to do so." Levi leanedzily against the wheelchair, his chin raised, his attitude a bit untamed, indeed in line with the persona of a psychopath who had just been paraplegic and disfigured in a car ident. Ruby gave him a silent look and realized that it was a pity that this man did not go into acting career. "What''s going on? Why are you all here?" At this moment Spencer and Hattie came in together, the two of them were talking andughing and seemed to be getting along well. Seeing that several people were gathered here, they came over curiously. "Ma¡¯am, my sister doesn''t know the rules very well, so you mustn''t be angry. She didn''t mean it." Rita went up and took Hattie''s arm, and daintily spoke up to help Ruby exin. The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched slightly and she looked at Hattie with an innocent face, "Mom, you''re just in time, I just identally lost my bnce on my feet and spilled wine on them, but I already paid them a million for the dresses they were wearing. I just asked them to take off the dresses and give them to me, after all, it was something I paid for, didn''t I do the right thing? " She was innocent and spoke with red eyes, as if she was terribly aggrieved. The corners of Hattie''s eyes twitched, ncing at the three women with angry eyes and at the aggrieved and innocent Ruby, the attention of many people around her was drawn to her, and she could not help the outsiders. In her heart, she scolded Ruby for causing trouble, but still had a smile on her face, "Well, Ruby is right, since she spent the money, the things are hers, so she can do what she wants with them. Since you have taken the money, take off your clothes and give them to her." The three of them were very embarrassed. The card they were holding at the moment was like a p in the face that made them ze over. "Sister, forget it. They''re all girls, it''s indecent to take off their clothes in public." Rita softly looked at Ruby and opened her mouth to suggest. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Ruby read the hint in Rita''s eyes and after thinking about it, she simply nodded quite nicely, "Since my sister is pleading for you, you can just go upstairs to your room and take off your clothes." Embarrassed, the three women went up to change their clothes. "Ma¡¯am, don''t me my sister, she grew up without a mother and has no one to teach her, that''s why her character is so unreasonable. In fact, she is still very nice." Rita sighed and nced at Ruby before whispering in Hattie''s ear. Hattie understood Rita''s little tricks, and she didn''t bother to say anything. "Thank you to my future Mrs. Finn for defending me." As Spencer and Hattie walked away, fewer people paid attention to this side, Levi looked at Ruby with a smirk, his tone clearly carrying a few moments of mockery. Ruby smiled brightly, leaned over and came up to Levi, winked at him and spoke in a serious tone, "If you really want to thank me, give me back the money spent on clothes. It is a million, I''m so poor." The corner of Levi¡¯s mouth twitched vaguely. "I''ll give it to you when I have money." Levi watched Rubye closer, her breath almost spraying on his face, nothing expression on her face, only her ears, hidden in her hair, were slightly rosy. "Tsk, the young master of the Finn family is so poor that you don''t even have a million, how pitiful." Ruby could not help but sigh at his words. "Well, after all, I''m paralysed and incapable of working now." Levi answered with a straight face. The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched fiercely, and then she looked at Levi''s serious look, clearly not joking. She rolled her eyes, "Forget it, I''m hungry, I''m going to go find something to eat." After saying that, he directly left Levi at a fast pace. Looking at Ruby''s back, the corners of Levi''s lips hooked up, and he didn''t even notice it himself that he was smiling. The party really started at eight o''clock and the host had alreadye on stage to speak and a number of people came forward with wine in their hands. Spencer, dressed in a hand-tailored ck suit with a smile on his lips at the moment, stood just off to the side. Ruby walked up to Rita on purpose, bumped her gently and walked away as if nothing had happened. Rita hesitated for a split second and then chased after her. "Ruby, you want to see me?" The two walked together to the bathroom. Rita looked outside to make sure no one was there before she opened her mouth and spoke in an unkind tone. "Are you thinking that you can be Lennon¡¯s wife just like that? Rita, are you too naive?" Ruby looked at Rita, without Susan on the side to give her advice, Rita''s intelligence was really unbearable. As expected, after hearing Ruby''s words, Rita''s face changed and she asked with a lowered volume, "What do you want to do! Do you have a way to make me Lennon¡¯s wife? Ruby, you just made my mother crazy, and now you still want to lie to me? I won''t believe you." "Believe it or not, Rita, there is only one chance, and this is a great opportunity, I can guarantee that Lennon will definitely marry you, unless he doesn''t want the status of heir to the Finn family anymore. If you don''t believe me, go back now." Ruby looked pale and unconcerned. Rita hesitated, looking at the man standing not far away in the crowd, at a time when many other young and beautiful women wereing up to him because she had left. She wants to be his wife, and more importantly, she wants to be the matriarch of the Finn family. Although Ruby may have a conspiracy, what is uneptable as long as the goal is achieved? When she bes the matriarch of the Finn family, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Ruby! "Okay, go ahead, what do I have to do?" Rita weighed up the situation and finallypromised. Ruby''s lips rose and she moved closer to Rita, while stuffing a paper packet into her hand, "Simple, today is Dad''s birthday, the people from the entire high society of Sea City are here. As long as you have sex with Lennon, he would marry you." Chapter 61 The Shocking Scandal Chapter 61 The Shocking Scandal Rita had some hesitation, "But if we do this, the Harold family will be disgraced ......" "What''s the shame of a man having sex with a woman? What! You don''t want to be his wife anymore? You can see how good Lennon is, right? Now that Levi is disabled, the Finn family will sooner orter be Lennon¡¯s. There are many better families than the Harold family in Sea City, and there are countless women who are better than you, are you sure you can take him with 100% certainty?" Ruby raised her hand and patted Rita''s shoulder, brutally telling the reality. Rita''s face changed and became a little blue. Ruby was right, there was indeed too muchpetition to be Lennon''s wife, except for the fact that Ruby had married into the Finn family, there was nothing she couldpete with the others for. Over the years Susan has worked hard to set up a persona for her, like a genius in academic and a celebritydy, but she knows her strength, and it is just gimmick. Once she is really put together and Looking down at the paper packet in her hand, Rita was still hesitant, "Are you sure this will work?" "Of course it works, even an elephant would be able to defeat." Ruby was very confident. The medicine she had concocted with her own hands had no cure except the man and woman had sex. Although a bit sorry Lennon, but during this period of time she investigated, Lennon on the surface is a talented and modest gentleman, but in fact is an upromising scum, so it is a loss for him to have sex with Rita. "Okay! Then I''ll believe you for once! Ruby, if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely not let you go!" Rita took a deep breath and went out on a limb. She has to be hostess of the Finn family! Susan is now in the North Mountain Sanatorium and there is no way to hide this matter. Once word got out that she had a mentally ill mother, who would dare to marry her? Who knows if she will have such a problem in the future? It was a great opportunity. With so many guests present, Lennon couldn''t deny it and the Finn family couldn''t deny it, and they would force Lennon to marry her! Rita cupped the paper packet in her hand, hastily bowed her head and left, finding a deserted ce and secretly poured the white powder inside the packet into a ss of wine. The white powder melts in contact with water, leaving no trace of it behind. Rita''s heart was beating fast. Holding the wine as if nothing had happened, she returned to Lennon''s side and handed over the red wine, "Lennon, would you like a drink?" Lennon gave Rita a sideways nce, smiled gently and harmlessly, and took the wine from her hand, but with a bit of contempt in his eyes. There are many women like Rita who havee forward, especially after Levi''s car ident. He bowed his head, took a sip of wine and thanked Rita, "Thank you." "Well, the party is quite boring, why don''t we go upstairs and sit for a while?" Rita was nervous as she watched him drink, and hurriedly offered an invitation. Lennon immediately read her hint and became more and more disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he still politely refused: "Miss Harold, it''s not right to be alone with a man, is it?" "No, it''s okay, just, just go up and sit and chat. It''s quite crowded downstairs and not very convenient." Rita''s pretty face was scarlet and her hands were nervously clutching her skirt. Lennon looked down at her and inexplicably felt a little hot. He didn''t pay much attention to it and just assumed it was because he had just had too much wine. However, at this moment, looking at Rita''s shy appearance, he was indeed a bit moved. Taking the initiative anyway, he smiled before nodding. The two walked out from inside the crowd and turned up to the first floor. Ruby stood downstairs, watching the two enter the room before smiling and taking a sip of the juice in her hand, with a few teasing nces in her eyes. Spencer would probably be happy if he saw the next scene, right? He had his heart set on marrying Rita into the Finn family, and now he finally got his wish. Ruby finished the juice in her hand in one gulp and as she was about to go and find something to eat, she turned around and saw Levi sitting there, looking at her with a smirk. Ruby touched her nose sheepishly, "When did youe over?" "When you gave Rita the medicine and told her to drug Lennon." Levi smiled yfully and looked at Ruby with a look that he couldn''t tell what emotions he was feeling. Ruby heart thumped, did not expect him to even see that. But her face was natural and she was calm though she was caught on the spot, "So I helped you, are you going to thank me?" "Well, then I thank you?" Levi nodded in kind. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby choked for a moment, this man was really not easy to fool around, he was shrewd, which was really annoying. Ruby began to waver, if her fianc¨¦ was smart, she was afraid that she would not be able to live a good life after marriage, what if she identally made a mistake? She looked at Levi thoughtfully, pondering what would happen if she repudiated her marriage now. By now the host had reached the climax and, amidst apuse, Spencer walked onto the stage. Ruby looked up, the corners of her lips hooked, somewhat expecting Spencer''s expression in a moment. The crowd watched as Spencer walked onto the stage and took the microphone from the host. As he was just about to speak, suddenly the lights dimmed and a projection appeared behind him, and before anyone in the room could react, they saw a picture appear on top of the projection. It appears to be a bedroom scene where a man and a woman are kissing passionately. "Wow!" "Isn''t that the second young master of the Finn family?" "The female seems to be Rita, the second youngdy of the Harold family." "Oh my God, is it that exciting live?" "Is this the cheer program prepared for the birthday party today?" Those below couldn''t help but murmur as they watched the passionate images. The older ones were bashful with embarrassment. Hattie did not expect to see such an image and was so angry that she had difficulty breathing and almost had a heart attack. Spencer did not react at first, and only when a clear voice came out from inside the projection did he turn around with his eyes full of shock. The aromatic and passionate image made his blood rush desperately to his head, and he failed to catch his breath, his eyes rolled over and he fainted in anger. Looking at the scene of mess, Ruby put down the ss of wine in her hand. When Levi looked back at her, he only saw that her face, which was clear and gorgeous, had little expression, and her eyes were icy cold. He pursed his lips in silence and looked back again at the man and woman in the projected image with a puzzled expression. "Turn it off! Quick, turn it off!" Hattie reacted first, covering her chest and snarling in anger. The chaos of the scene did not end when the butler anxiously went to find a switch to turn off the projection. Today is Spencer''s birthday party, because of therge number of guests and the paparazzi, who originally wanted to see if they could capture any exclusive news, but they did not expect the party scene actually had such a shocking scandal. The paparazzi was excited, secretly filmed the scene, rushed back to send press releases. Chapter 62 Anger and Rage Chapter 62 Anger and Rage "Oh my God, to see such exciting news in the middle of the night?" "Is this Rita from the Harold family? Hasn''t she been some kind of beautiful school goddess persona? I didn''t expect her to be that slutty." "I heard that Rita''s mother was the mistress, forcing the original spouse of her husband to death and bing the Harold family''s hostess back then. Like mother, like daughter." "It''s disgusting, isn''t it?" "Only I care about why they''re doing this kind of thing live? Did they get set up?" That night, the video of Rita and Lennon was posted on Facebook, and it instantly exploded, and This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. several Facebook hot searches went up in the middle of the night. #Shocking! The beautiful goddess has done this! # # Rita and Lennon # # Spencer''s birthday party# Both the Finn Group and the Harold Group took a considerable hit as a result. Fortunately, the stock market had closed for the night, but it was foreseeable that the share prices of the twopanies might take a dive the next day after the public came back to their senses. At this time, in the Harold¡¯s. Because of such an incident, Spencer was in aa and the guests were politely asked to leave, leaving only the two families behind. Levi sat in his wheelchair, narrowing his eyes and making noment. Hattie''s face was pale and her breathing was unsteady, she was furious. The person in question, Rita and Lennon, had alreadye down. Lennon''s medicine had not After Spencer was resuscitated, he was now sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face. "Dad, Dad, listen to me to exin, this ......" Rita''s mind went nk, she didn''t expect this matter to be so big and there was a camera inside her room? And everything that happened inside the room was broadcasted! She was so anxious and angry that she figured out that this matter must be a frame-up by Ruby! No wonder Ruby was so kind to give her the medicine and help her n to set Lennon up, so it was such an idea! After Rita thought about it, she angrily red at Ruby: "It was you, wasn''t it? You did it on purpose? You installed a camera inside my room, you want to ruin my reputation." Ruby looked at her with an innocent face and defended herself aggressively: "Sister, how can you use me like this? I, I didn''t know you would do such things with Mr. Lennon. As for your im of installing a camera in your room, it''s even more nonsense. I don''t live in Harold''s house, nor have I ever entered your room, how could I have done such a thing?" Ruby''s face was at aggression. She looked at Spencer with red eyes and choked as she spoke, "Dad, my sister has such an opinion of me, I think I''d better not live in the Harold¡¯s, lest something happens in the future and she mes it on me again." Rita didn''t expect Ruby to say that, she was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, abruptly stood up, pointed at Ruby and cursed: "Ruby, you still don''t admit it! You gave me the medicine tonight, so that I could drug Lennon and then take the opportunity to have sex with him ......" Rita realized halfway through her sentence that something was wrong and hurriedly shut up, but the look in her eyes towards Ruby was still full of resentment. Ruby covered her face in aggravation and choked, "My sister has really misunderstood me, how could I have done such a thing? Why would I do such a thing? What good would it do me? Sister, I know it''s hard for you after such a thing, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Now that the media has reported the matter, let''s discuss how we are going to minimise the risk." "Dad ......," Rita looked at Spencer. Spencer is now disappointed at Rita. As much as he wanted Rita to marry into the Finn family, it wasn''t in such a way! What would the Finn family think of Rita in that case? Even if Rita married into the Finn family, there was no way she would have any status in the Finn family in the future! It might not even be as good as Ruby who married Levi! Spencer did not expect his daughter, whom he had worked so hard to pamper for years, to be ruined in this way, and was heartbroken and angry. "Ma¡¯am, it is my fault for not educating my daughter properly, I am really sorry, what do you think about this matter?" Spencer is in the end inferior to Hattie, especially since this matter is not small, and if Lennon refuses to take responsibility for Rita, Rita ispletely ruined, and it is unlikely that any good family will be willing to ept her. "You''re asking me what to do about it? You ask me about the ugly things your daughter has done? My family has been disgraced by her!" Hattie was furious and had not yet smoothed out her anger at this point, especially when she saw Lennon like that, she felt a terrible headache. This matter is known to the Finn family, just now Isabe even called to question her. Hattie is so agitated that she doesn''t know how to exin this matter well! There was no other choice now, she could only grit her teeth and agree to the marriage between Rita and Lennon, otherwise, there was no telling what the rumours outside would be! Rita was not her preferred future daughter-inw, and now that she was forced to admit it, Hattie couldn''t have been more annoyed. "You go and take Lennon away, we''ll go back now! Spencer, I finally know why you were in such a hurry to hold a birthday party, so it was with such an idea in mind! You''re really good!" Hattie now held a grudge against Spencer, and with a cold snort, ordered someone to go and take Lennon away. Ruby had watched a good show and was a little sleepy at this point. Seeing that Levi was sitting there with no intention of leaving, Ruby ignored him and after some thought, she still walked over and reached out to put her hand on the wheelchair, "Dad, it''s gettingte, let me take Levi back first." Spencer''s heart was burning with anger at this time, so he had no time to care about this. He nced at Levi and then at Ruby before speaking tiredly, "Forget it, it''s sote, let Levi stay home and sleep over." "Dad, I suppose no, my sister has just had such an incident, if Levi spends the night here, the media will talk nonsense, in that case, the Harold family''s reputation will really not be saved." Ruby refused outright. What a joke, to let Levi stay? It is fine that this man is really crippled, but he faked it, Hell knows what will happen if they stay alone? Ruby was afraid that she would lose control and murder her husband. "You are considerate, Ruby. Then you can send him back. Be careful on the way." Spencer dawned on him and cursed himself for being too unaware of the fact. At this moment, when he looked at Ruby again, he felt more satisfied. Ruby was obvious more understanding Rita inparison. Chapter 63 You Can Dispense Medicine? Chapter 63 You Can Dispense Medicine? Ruby pushed Levi out of the house, and outside the house, the driver was already waiting. After leaving the house, Levi didn''t bother to pretend, and got up from his wheelchair to get into the car. The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched in a moment of speechlessness. The driver came down and folded the wheelchair and stuffed it into the trunk, and gave Ruby another look, "Do you want to go back to the Finn¡¯s together?" The man''s eyes were deep and dark, like a whirlpool. Ruby was just about to say no, but she heard the man''s voice ring out, "Get in." The unbearably strong tone of voice did not even give Ruby the chance to refuse. Ruby knew that if she went back now, Rita would definitelye back to settle the score with her, and she didn''t want to go and fight with Rita, so she got into the car and closed the door. The driver started the car and left the house. "You know how to dispense medicine?" He saw it when Ruby gave Rita the medicinal powder, from a distance, when he smelled it, he had the illusion that his blood was boiling. There was no way that kind of medicine could be sold on the market, he was iparably aware of this. Together with the fact that Ruby knows the art of healing, it could only be her who dispensed it. Ruby yawned andzily leaned back in her chair, looking at him with raised eyebrows: "What are you talking about, Mr. Finn! I didn''t understand, I''m a bit sleepy and want to go back to bed. I''m going back to Shangcheng International, what about you?" "Shangcheng International." Levi looked deeply at Ruby, and seeing that she was ying dumb, he did not continue to expose it Ruby nodded at his words, "Then let''s go together." The driver sent them there and Levi pulled open the car door to get out. Ruby yawned as she walked, only to feel that she was dizzy and a little bit not quite right. Ruby¡¯ stumbled on her feet. Seeing her like this, and nearly hit a streetmp pole on the side of the road, he couldn''t help but twitch his lips and reached out to help her. Ruby squinted at him and whistled, "Quite handsome." Levi: "......" "Ruby?" Levi sensed that something didn''t seem right about Ruby. She had been sickly on the road and didn''t look very energetic, now why did she look as if she was a bit drunk? Ruby was indeed drunk. She has a big problem with drinking, her body doesn''t react when she first drinks, but after a few hours, the after-effectse. The kind of sweet juice she drank at the Harold''s birthday banquet earlier was actually a cocktail. "Why are you wearing a mask? Take it off, will you? Can''t you see people?" Ruby hung her whole body on Levi''s and reached out to remove his mask. Levi did not expect her to make such a sudden move, so he could not dodge it and the mask was already taken off by her. Ruby held his face, looked carefully and then tsked, "Quite good looking, not ugly at all, but why do you look a bit familiar?" Levi: "......" "Have I seen you somewhere before?" Ruby asked, not waiting for Levi to answer, and pointed at him again. Levi looked at her with a stern face, pondering how she would react if she recognized that the person in the hotel that day was him, and then he heard Ruby suddenly sing, "In my dreams, I''ve seen you in my dreams ......" With an ironic face, Levi supported Ruby and walked into the lift. When Ruby was drunk, she moved around a lot, and she constantly stroked Levi. Levi stood straight, unmoved. She went forward again as if she was a sloth and hung on Levi''s body: "I''m so tired, I don''t want to walk, can you hold me?" The corners of Levis mouth twitched fiercely. The drunken Ruby is reallypletely different from her usual self. For a moment he was confused as to when the Ruby was really her. Ruby was afraid that she would fall off, she mped her legs around his waist, her hands tightly hugged his neck. The fragrance of her body came to his face, feeling familiar. Levi felt that sense of familiarity getting stronger and stronger, especially at this moment when Ruby said and everything she did, there was always a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. Soon, the lift reached the eighteenth floor, and Levi lifted his hand to hold Ruby''s hips as he carried her out of the lift. "Hey, wake up, what''s the password to your house?" Levi stood at the entrance of Ruby''s house, looking at thebination lock, and raised his hand to pat Ruby Prim. Ruby opened her eyes to look at him in a daze, looking at the handsome face, she could not help but kiss on his face: "You are impatient, the password of my house, password, let me think, um, 162020." Levi had a ck face, feeling the saliva of Ruby still lingering on his face, but he did not feel disgusted, such a situation that had almost never happened before. In all these years, there had never been a woman who coulde near him without making him feel disgusting, except for Amelia. Ruby is considered the second one. He opened the door and carried Ruby in, breathing sharply, and once inside, he found the bedroom and threw her onto the bed with the intention of leaving. As a result, just as he turned around, he was suddenly hugged from behind by Ruby: "Don''t go, stay with me, I''ll give you money, how much do you want? I have a lot of money." "Are you usually like this with other men?" Such a frivolous demeanor of Ruby made Levi look grim, and there was a nameless fire burning in his heart, and he did not know why. "Howe? I am like this only to you." Ruby smiled flirtatiously, reached out and raised Levi''s chin, and without any hesitation, kissed him. Levi''s mind went nk, the familiar scent wrapped tightly around him, between Ruby¡¯s tongue and lips, there was still a sweet taste of cocktails. Her movements were not smooth, but with the ultimate tease and seduction, making Levi almost lose his control. By the time he reacted, Ruby had already moved to unbuckle his belt. "Ruby!" Levi sank his face and pushed the woman away with one hand. Ruby''s eyes were misty and puzzled as she looked at Levi, her lips pouting, she looked, at this time, sexy and tititing. Levi breathed heavily and straightened his clothes, not daring to stay any longer. If he continued to stay there, he was afraid he would really lose control and sleep with this woman. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. What the hell! He had never had such strong desire for any woman since that idental sex with Amelia five years ago. He ran out of Ruby''s house with an iron face, standing outside the door and closing it before pursing his lips, his face dreadfully gloomy. His body''s reaction was the most honest, in that moment just now, he wanted Ruby, Levi was unquestionably sure of this. Moreover, when Ruby was kissing him, he saw in her the shadow of Amelia five years ago. Chapter 64 Alcohol Makes Troubles Chapter 64 Alcohol Makes Troubles When Ruby woke up the next day, she was lying on the floor of her room, wearing only thin clothes, with a splitting headache and aching body, as if someone had run over her body hard. She sat up holding her forehead, her brain still a little slow to react, with no recollection of what had happenedst night. The headache reaction from the hangover was so strong that Ruby fumed for a while before she stood up with the help of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. It was only when her sluggish brain started to function again that she remembered that it seemed that it was Levi who had brought her backst night. So, did she do something not so nice to Levi when she was drinkingst night? Ruby looked at the very obvious bruises on her wrists and feeling the aching sensation on her body, she fell into deep self-doubt. The ringing of the mobile phone rang out inside the quiet room. Ruby got up from the bathtub, grabbed a bath towel and draped it over her body, lifted her feet and walked out. Looking at the caller, she smiled coldly. Rita is furious at this time and is definitely here to settle scores with hers afterwards. After she hung up the phone, Ruby checked Facebook and went up to r a follow-up onst night''s events. After a night, by this time Rita''s affair with Lennon had be widely known, plus many people jumped out to smear Rita. After the market opened this morning, the Harold''s stock market dropped by two points, and even the Finn''s group was affected. The Finn family has not made a public statement so far, presumably because they want to wait and see. After all, although Lennon is the second son of the Finn family, he is not the only legitimate heir, and the impact of his scandal on the Finn Group is not considered too great, and is far less serious than that of the Levis'' scandal. After Ruby finished reading the message on Facebook, she tapped her finger on the top of her phone screen, then smiled yfully, opened an anonymous ount and silently sent out a video. Since there''s no movement on the Finn family, she''ll just help. This video was immediately topping the charts as soon as it was posted. The affair between Lennon and Rita had countless people watching, and after the video was sent out, it immediately received great attention. In just a few minutes, the number of hits has exceeded 200,000 and is still on the rise. Ruby put away her mobile phone and was in a good mood. Rita will soon be able to marry into the Finn family as she wishes, and Spencer should be in a good mood. Spencer did not rest a good night because of Rita''s matter, early in the morning, the butler rushed over, looked panic and handed him the mobile phone: "Mr. Spencer, not good, Miss Rita, she ......"N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. The butler wasn''t able to get the words out, and the video had already started to y. Spencer took a nce at the content on the video and his face suddenly changed and he abruptly stood up, his body swaying, only to feel breathless and his blood rushing all over his head. He didn''t steady himself, his eyes went ck and he passed out straight away. "Mr. Spencer! Quick, someone help, Mr. Spencer has passed out, take him to the hospital!" The butler''s face changed slightly and he hurriedly called for someone toe and carry Spencer to the hospital. Spencer had a sudden cerebral haemorrhage, fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time and was rescued. "How dare she!" As soon as Spencer woke up, he covered his chest and pounded his chest. "Mr. Spencer, don''t be angry, your health is important." The butler stepped forward and advised in a soft voice. Spencer coughed for a while before looking at the butler, "What kind of sins do you think I''ve created? Why did I raise such a daughter?" "Mr. Spencer, perhaps, Miss Rita has a reason." The butler weighed his words, but he did not know for what reason Rita would do such a thing. "You don''t have to speak for her. All these years, I have been cultivating her with all my heart, thinking that she is just like I imagined, to be ady, skilled in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn''t expect that after all my efforts over the years, I have raised such a shamless daughter!" Spencer''s face was tired and full of disappointment. Once again, Rita had let him down. The butler stood by and made noment. "Where is she?" Spencer had another fit of coughing, his face was pale and his chest was stuffy. He didn''t see Rita inside the ward, so he looked up to ask the butler. "She went out in the middle of the nightst night and hasn''te back yet." The butler replied with some embarrassment. "Bastard! Inform right now and suspend all her cards! me me for being too nice to her all these years!" Spencer''s face turned green with anger as he cursed viciously. The bulter agreed and turned to make arrangements. Spencer covered his chest, missing the goodness of Ruby at this time. Although she was not close to him since she was small, she was obedient and understanding now, at least she has not disgraced herself like Rita did. The depression in Spencer''s heart dissipated and he picked up his mobile phone to call Ruby. Ruby was having breakfast at Shangcheng International at this time, and when she saw the caller, she was silent for a moment before she got up and answered the phone, "Hello, Dad, what do you want to see me about?" "Ruby where are you now? I want to see you, can youe and see me?" When Spencer listened to Ruby''s voice, Nellie''s appearance inexplicably appeared inside his mind. Nellie was the firstdy in Sea City back then, and countless men fell for him, but she chose no one but him, a poor boy with nothing, and gave birth to him a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, at that time, he was so deluded that he was actuallypelled by Susan and got Nellie killed. But Susan was nothingpared to Nellie. If he had not believed Susan''s words and misunderstood Nellie''s betrayal of him, how could he have caused Nellie''s early death? How could Ruby not close to him? Now that Kevin had been spoiled by Susan, he felt regretful even thinking about it. "Dad, are you okay? Where are you? I''ll be right over." Ruby looked surprised and couldn''t hide the concern within her tone. Spencer''s grew more and more relieved: "I am in the city''s first hospital, ward V1688 on the sixteenth floor." "Dad, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Let me bring you some food over." Ruby asked thoughtfully again. "Okay!" Spencer grew more and more excited and said yes. Ruby cared for him a few times before hanging up the phone. After looking at the one-third of the breakfast that had been eaten, she pursed her lips and went to get a thermos, packed some and took it with her to the hospital to see Spencer. Chapter 65 No Expression? Chapter 65 No Expression? Ruby put on a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans, stepped on a pair of white canvas shoes. With long hair casually tied a ponytail, she looked youthful and beautiful. She carried the thermos out and as she had just closed the door, she heard the door next door click open and then Levi came out from inside. The man''s face has been reced today with a mask, a golden one. She was not sure if it was an illusion, but today he looked gloomy as hell and exuded an air of lust and discontent. Ruby couldn''t help but look at him a few more times before casually greeting him, "Hello, fianc¨¦, what a coincidence, you''re going out too?" Levi looked at Ruby as if nothing was wrong, his eyes fell on the thermos bottle she was carrying in her hand, "Where to?" It was amon tone, but Ruby always felt that she heard a hint of questioning and a hint of displeasure within his tone. Ruby looked at him suspiciously, "Mr. Fiance, are you concerned about me or do you want to control me?" Levi was irritated, and when he looked at Ruby, he thought of what happenedst night. This damn woman teased him and he had a night of dreamsst night and for the first time the quality of his sleep was that bad. Because he hadn''t slept well, he was now in a bad mood, especially when he saw the culprit''s indifference. "You''re quite confident in yourself, I''m just asking casually." Levi replied in an unkind tone. Ruby felt that the man was eerily abnormal today. "Since so, I won''t answer you, Mr. Fiance, goodbye." Ruby raised the thermos bottle in her hand, stepped on the canvas shoes under her feet, and entered the lift with light footsteps. Levi stood in ce for a moment before walking over and following along into the lift. The space inside was notrge, and he smelled the faint fragrance of the woman''s body again, and countless charming images began to leap around inside his mind, making Levis face gloomy. The whole lift¡¯s atmosphere was depressing, and Ruby nced at Levi from time to time. And when these reactions of hers fell on the eyes of Levi, it became seduction! Levi tugged impatiently at his cor. Five years! For the past five years, even though Amelia had often appeared in front of him and even asionally made some suggestive remarks and gestures, his body did not respond. The provocations of Rubyst night were like a prairie fire, leaving all his cells in a state of hyperactivity to this day. Especially after seeing Ruby again, that exuberance did not subside, but grew stronger and stronger. The woman was so close to him at this point that from his angle he could see her slim, slender neck, with a few strands of hair falling over it, looking tantalisingly. What made it especially difficult for him was the fragrant scent that kept burrowing between his nostrils.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The smell, as if it were poison, was intoxicating. "You don''t remember anything fromst night?" Ruby turned back and looked at Levi: "Last night? What happened between usst night?" "You don''t remember?" Levi stepped out of the lift with long legs. When the lift door closed, the two of them were only about ten centimeters apart, and Ruby''s face was almost pressed against Levis chest. She subconsciously wanted to step back, but just before she lifted her foot back, her waist was suddenly tightly sped, and then she was brought forward with force, and she fell into the arms of Levi. The man''s gloomy, cold, stern voice sounded faintly sounded in her ears, "Do you need me to help you remember?" Ruby''s heart inexplicably beat faster and her body instinctively stiffened; such intimate contact between the two of them gave her a very bad experience and made her very resistant and repulsive. She subconsciously reached out and ced her hand against Levi''s chest, while her other hand silently felt a silver needle, as long as Levi made another move, she would not hesitate to take this silver needle and stick it into his death point, sending him to his death. Naturally, Levi noticed her movement and nced faintly at her hand, just as he was about to move, he heard a shocked and disturbed voice, ringing out not far away, "Levi?" Amelia couldn''t believe what she was seeing! How dare she? How could she seduce her man? Also, didn''t Levi always hate it when women came near him? Did he find out that the woman from five years ago was actually Ruby but not her? Her heart was in turmoil, her face was pale at this moment. Clenching her fist, she rushed forward quickly, then grabbed Ruby''s shoulder with one hand, and raised her hand to p her. Only before her handnded on Ruby''s face, her wrist was grabbed. It was so strong that it almost crushed her wrist. She turned back to the man who had grabbed her wrist in disbelief: "Levi?" Levi pursed his lips, his jaw was tense, the out-of-control behavior just now was beyond his own sacrificed for himself five years ago. His expression finally eased, and his hand let go of her wrist and turned to wrap around her slender waist. She was so happy that she stared at Levi for a moment. They had been together for five years, but Levi never touched her, no matter how much she hinted at it. Was it possible that this time, there was finally going to be progress in their rtionship? "Levi?" Amelia couldn''t hide the surprise and excitement in her heart as she called out cautiously. Levi looked down at that face. Yes, what he liked should be a girl with a simple heart and a simple background like Amelia, how could it be a woman like Ruby? Reassuring himself, he turned around with his arm around Amelia and pressed the lift button without giving Ruby a second nce. Ruby''s stiff body gradually regained its naturalness. She nced at Levi and then at Amelia beside him, without any lingering, she turned around and left. Ruby felt a pang of disgust when she thought of that intimate act between the two just now. Especially when she thought that Levi had just put his arm around her and now he put his arm around Amelia. She didn''t know why she was so upset. Levi took Amelia into the lift, remaining silent all the way until the lift went up to the eighteenth floor and the two entered the door of Levi''s t. With the door still open, Levi cupped his hands around Amelia''s face and lowered his head, trying hard to kiss her. But his body instinctively resisted, and the kiss, which had been so simple, was so difficult for him. Amelia''s face was tilted back, her eyes tightly closed, her long, curly eyshes trembling gently with visible nervousness. Levi stared at her for a long time, but his heart was unmoved, and all the emotions he felt when facing Ruby earlier had vanished cleanly at this point. Chapter 66 The Body Tells the Truth Chapter 66 The Body Tells the Truth "Levi?" Amelia, not waiting for Levi''s next move, could not help but open her eyes, peeking at him and speaking in confusion. Levi had already let go of her, his face was the usual gentle one: "Did I scare you just now? I''m sorry." She was still a bit apprehensive, feeling that the way Levi looked at her just now was not right. At this time, seeing that he was still gentle, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, reaching out to gently tug on Levi¡¯s hand and speaking in a delicate manner, "Levi, you know, as long as you want, I, I am ok with it." Levi bowed his head and looked at her with a deep gaze, before speaking, "I still have things to do. Where are you going to go? I''ll drop you off." "Levi ......" Anxious, Amelia stepped forward subconsciously. This opportunity was so rare, seeing that Levi was about to kiss her, how could she easily miss it? Unfortunately, Levi, who has always been a man of his word, didn''t give her any chance to speak, reaching out to sp her arm and pulling her out the door. She followed behind Levi with her head bowed, and because of the man''srge steps, she struggled a little to keep up. "Levi, do you, do you not like me anymore?" Levi had never treated her like this before. In the past, even if they kept their distance, they never did. It was the same gentle eyes, the same smile and tone of voice, but Amelia sensed intuitively that everything was different. Did Levi really discover the truth about what happened five years ago? But how is that possible? There wasn''t any surveince there at all and she was so well disguised afterwards that there would never have been any idents. There''s no way Levi could have known! The two of them soon stood in front of the lift, and Levi reached out to press the lift button before he took the time to look back at her, his eyes full of pity, as they had been in the past: "What are you thinking about? I said I won''t touch you until we are married, and this is for your own good." Amelia lowered her head and couldn''t stop her tears from falling, "But, but we''ve been together for five years, you''re not even willing to kiss me. If you really liked me, would you, would you be like this? You are now engaged to Ruby, she is so beautiful and so smart, I ......" The fear and anxiety that she felt inside her heart was on full disy. At this point she was in a state of distress, indeed full of anxiety and trepidation. When Levi heard Ruby''s name, he narrowed his eyes, his expression colder, and under his deep, dark Material ? N?velDrama.Org. eyes, there was a bit of a cold aura: "It has nothing to do with her." When she heard his words, her heart jumped hard and she subconsciously looked up at Levi. "Don''t think nonsense. My identity is special, you will only be more dangerous if you follow me around. Ruby is only used to shield you, you should understand." It was rare for Levi to be patient and exin so much to Amelia. Her heart settled and she tightly grabbed Levi¡¯s hand, "Then, you swear you won''t like her, okay?" Looking at the delicate girl in front of him, her eyes full of trepidation and serious insecurity, Levi felt more or less guilty in his heart. After all, he was the one who hurt her five years ago, she didn''t take it personally and has remained by his side for the past five years, never doing anything wrong. It was himself who had gone too far and would actually snub her for Ruby. Levi thought as he raised his hand and gently pressed his palm on Amelia''s head, "Okay, I swear that if I like Ruby, I won''t be able to marry the woman I like in this life but die alone, is that okay?" "You''re not allowed to curse yourself like that! I... I don''t want you to swear." Amelia reached out to cover Levi''s mouth with her hand. As she had only just approached, the sweet smell of perfume on her body hit his nose, and Levi took a step back instinctly to avoid her touch. Amelia was at a loss. Levi''s resistance to her was too obvious. Even with the events of five years ago as a premise, his body was still honestly resisting her. She subconsciously clenched her fist and pursed her lips, "I''m sorry, Levi." Levi was just about to speak, but the lift door open. He reached out and pulled Amelia into the lift. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere inside the lift was somewhat silent and depressing. A few more people came in midway down the lift, and when they saw the mask on Levi¡¯s face, they subconsciously ducked away, looking at him with scrutiny in their eyes. Levi was indifferent, but Amelia could not stand it. Especially when she heard the two girls talking about whether Levi was ugly and couldn''t be seen, so he wore a mask in broad daylight, looking like a bad person. "What are you all talking about! Don''t you talk about Levi like that! Apologize to him right now!" Already holding her anger in her stomach, she lunged angrily towards the nearest girl, reaching out and grabbing towards her face. At this moment, in her eyes, the girl in front of her was Ruby, the one who came her back from F Country, haunting! As long as she is still by Levi¡¯s side, she will never be at ease! She must kill Ruby! For sure! Amelia''s eyes were red and full of killing intent. Levi watched as the two girls struggled together, and the girl''s friends followed suit. In a short while, she was pushed to the ground and bullied. Levi stepped forward and carried away the two girls with one hand and rescued Amelia from them. Her hair was in a mess, her face had scratches and her clothes were in a mess, so she looked miserable. She stood beside Levi, crying as she raised her hand to wipe her tears, "Levi is not ugly, he''s not! None of you can say anything about him!" Levi looked down at Amelia''s pitiful look, even at this point, she was still bent on defending him. And what had he just done to her! Levi reached out, pulling the person into his arms before he raised his head, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked at the two girls in front of him, "Apologize." "What''s that about? There''s surveince inside the lift, she started it! Why do you want us to apologize? Do you want to bully a woman?" Undaunted, the two girls spoke angrily. Levi''s eyes grew colder and colder. At this moment the lift door opened, Ruby carried impatience on her face, followed by a young man walking slowly behind her, both of them were very good looking, so they attracted a lot of people¡¯s attention. As soon as the lift door opened, Ruby looked at the situation inside the lift, her eyes fell on Amelia, and then on the two majestic girls with confusion. Chapter 67 Face up to You Status Chapter 67 Face up to You Status "Is this a fight?" When Vincent took a look at the sabre-rattling inside the lift, his eyes lit up and he crossed over Ruby to take a step forward. Ruby rolled her eyes, simply convinced by Vincent''s gossipy nature. He is a good-looking man, but he is like a woman and is most interested in gossip. "Handsome, this woman has a problem in her head. We were chatting and she suddenly ran over and hit us, and now this gentleman wants us to apologize to her, aren¡¯t they barbaric?" The girl took one look at Vincent''s face and blushed, rushing to Vincent''s front and asking for his help in administering justice. Vincent said with amusement, "Well, you''re right, it doesn''t make sense." "That''s right, and she is at fault!" The girl thought that not only was Vincent good looking, but he was also reasonable, much better than the unreasonable man wearing the mask. "You''re full of shit! You were the one who first said something bad about Levi! You said he was ugly!" Amelia argued, her eyes red, and at the same time, she took a nce at Vincent, and that look was seductive. The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched as she watched from the sidelines. Are these guys primary schools kids? Fight over something like this? "Well, you do have a bit of a point, it does seem wrong to call people ugly behind their backs." Vincent nodded thoughtfully and nced at the girl in front of him. "We were not talking behind their backs? We clearly said it to his face ......" The girl subconsciously opened her mouth to retort. As the words were uttered, she blushed, ncing at Vincent and then at Levi before finally saying reluctantly, "I''m sorry, it''s true that we shouldn''t be judging your looks, but she can''t just hit us." "I ......" Amelia was momentarily speechless and looked at Levi for help. Levi shielded her and raised his eyebrows at the two girls, "I''m used to it, do you have a problem with that?" "What''s wrong with you people? Let''s go!" The girl was furious and red at Levi, hurriedly pulling her friend away. Ruby watched a farce for free and went over to pull Vincent: "You''re so enthusiastic, why didn''t you apply for a job as a neighbourhood council mediator?" "I would like to, but they don''t want me." Vincent had a sorry face. Ruby pulled him into the lift. Seeing that Levi and Amelia still haven''t left, she couldn''t help but ask: "Are you two going or not?" Levi was originally going to leave, but at this moment, when he saw that Ruby had brought another man back, he stood there with an iron face and his gaze fell coldly on Ruby. "No? Then I''ll press the floor." Ruby ignored the gaze of Levi and pressed the eighteenth floor. "You have a nice t, it was sold out when I wanted to buy it, how did you get your hands on it so quickly? I heard that the first phase of Shangcheng International is only avable to insiders." Vincent leanedzily in the lift, nced at the environment inside the lift and looked at Ruby with an envious face. Ruby replied in a careless manner. The ts at Shangcheng International are really good sellers, there is only one building in the first phase, the management here is different from the other phases, the whole buildinges with intelligent security software, so it is a bit more secure to live here. The fact that those two girls were able to live here just now means that their status is not simple. As Vincent spoke, Levi subconsciously nced at Ruby. Noticing this movement of his, Amelia pursed her lips, raised a smile on her face and looked at Ruby: "Miss Harold, how did you get an inside channel to buy a house here? I remember that Shangcheng International seems to have been put up for sale five years ago, right? How old were you five years Material ? N?velDrama.Org. ago?" When Ruby heard Amelia''s words, she gave her azy look, "I should be younger than you." Amelia was choked for a moment and continued to speak reluctantly, "Then Miss Harold, you are really capable to afford a house in Shangcheng International five years ago." This was so suggestive that Vincent couldn''t help but nce at Amelia, subconsciously frowning. He was aware of Ruby''s ability, and he did not feel that the Ruby of five years ago could not afford to buy a house in Shangcheng International. Even Vincent suspected that Shangcheng International was Ruby''s. "Just because you''re not capable doesn''t mean others aren''t. I can see your jealousy from your tone." Vincent looked at Amelia and couldn''t help but spoke sarcastically. Amelia''s face turned blue and white as she clenched the corner of her coat, her tone aggravated: "I was just curious, I didn''t mean anything else. Five years ago, Miss Harold must be 17 or 18 years old, right?" Ruby raised her eyebrows and gave her a look, "Lady, do we know each other well? Why do you ask my privacy, what is your problem?" These words were straightforward, Amelia blushed abruptly and instantly turned red in her eyes: "I, I really, really didn''t mean anything else, don''t be angry, Miss Harold, I, I was just, just curious." Levi never spoke, but watched it all unfold. He was ufortable listening to what Amelia had just said. Five years ago, that was exactly when Ruby was kicked out of the Harold family and sent to F Country. At that time, if she could really afford to buy a house in Shangcheng International, why did she have to go far away from home? "That''s enough." Seeing that Amelia was about to cry, Levi spoke up lightly and interrupted the conversation between the two. Vincent tsked in wonder and couldn''t help but look at Levi, he always felt that Levi looked familiar. The lift had already reached the eighteenth floor, Ruby took the lead and walked out, Vincent hurriedly followed her, but his footsteps paused as he exited the lift, he looked back at Amelia and gave a mocking smile: "Lady, don''t think everyone is as idiotic as you are, use your little thoughts elsewhere, if you dare to find trouble with her again, I''ll kill you." After saying that, without looking at the white face of Amelia, Vincent went after Ruby. "Ruby, wait for me." Vincent shouted in a very contrived manner, trailing off in his voice. Ruby''s footsteps gave a slight pause and she red back at him. Vincent gave a smile and closed the door with his hand. Levi subconsciously clenched his fists, coldly looking at the tightly closed door. It was only then that Amelia spoke softly, seemingly unintentionally: "Levi, what do you think their rtionship is? That man just now call Miss Harold so intimately" It was fine if she didn''t speak up, but when she did, Levi felt irritable. "Nothing to do with me." He grimaced and raised his hand to press lift button to the ground floor, even regretting for a moment why he had to follow up to have a look. Chapter 68 What kind of unbelievable destiny is this? Chapter 68 What kind of unbelievable destiny is this? "Ruby, that man just now looked a bit familiar to me." Once inside, Vincent nonchntly found himself a seat, hugging a pillow, thinking about Levi¡¯s appearance inside the lift, he couldn''t help but frown. Ruby raised her eyebrows at him lightly and reminded him kindly, "Well, he is Levi Finn." Vincent almost choked on his own saliva, "Who?" Material ? N?velDrama.Org. "Levi Finn. You heard it right, it''s the one you know." Ruby nodded, as if she had seen through what was in Vincent''s mind, and gave him a very positive answer. The corners of Vincent''s mouth twitched and his expression was somewhat brilliant: "So, you and Levi are neighbours? You''re also his fiancee? Tut, what kind of uncanny fate is this?" "Heh." Rubyughed coldly, yawned and got up, turned around and went inside to get a wooden box out, throwing it directly to Vincent: "Take the stuff and hurry up and get out." After drinking a littlest night, Ruby always felt as if she hadn¡¯t slept well, and now she had a terrible headache, especially when she saw Vincent. Vincent opened the wooden box in her hand and gave her a nk nce, "Be careful, this is worth hundreds of millions, a suite in the capital." Ruby was indifferent and squinted somewhat sleepily, "This medicine is best not to be taken indiscriminately if you have underlying illnesses." "What?" Vincent''s hand holding the medicine lurched, "I didn''t see you say that before either." "Hehe, I took that for you, but you fell for money and actually took it to sell." Ruby gave him a nk stare and thought for a moment before exining, "This medicine, just like the marrow cleansing pills in those novels you read, cleanses the essence and marrow, but it''s not as strong. It just strengthens the health, it''s best for people who are full of energy to take it. Old people will easily have idents if they eat it." "Oh, I see then. I''ll take care of it." Vincent nodded seriously and carefully put the box away. "By the way, what I told you earlier ......" "No, these people are troublesome, let them go to the hospital by themselves." Ruby refused without even thinking about it. Those bigwigs were sensitive and she did not want to contact with them. She wanted to continue to wait for the results of the experimental medicine from Dr. Moore. Now someone in F Country probably knows she''s back and might be looking for someone to assassinate her. Ruby is troubled to think about all this. "You''re not getting out?" Seeing that Vincent was sitting there with no intention of leaving, Ruby had a look of impatience. The corners of Vincent''s mouth twitched, "Ruby, you''re so heartless, I just helped you deal with that woman and this is how you treat me? You didn''t even treat me to a cup of tea, but you were in a hurry to kick me out." Ruby let out a grunt, "Get lost--" "s, heartless. You''re such a heartless man. I''m not going back, the people over at the Watson family are looking for me, I guess they want to get news of you from me, you know, my grandma is not in good health, I''m afraid she is close to die. She wants to find you now to see if she can prolong her life." Vincent leaned backzily on the sofa, his tone indifferent. Ruby raised her eyes to look at him, "You are not going to save her?" "Heh. What''s the point of saving her! Let her to live a few more years and find a chance to get me killed?" Vincent sneered, his eyes going cold. Ruby did not quite understand their family''s situation, so she did not speak again. She yawned and walked back to her room with her pillow in her arms, "If you don''t want to leave, go to the guest room by yourself, I''m going to take a nap." "What do you use to refine this medicine? For this kind of immortal pills, do you need to use an alchemy furnace? Ruby, are you a divine reincarnation?" Vincent got up and chased after Ruby, his earlier tiredness swept away. Ruby¡¯s hand froze on the door handle and the corner of her mouth twitched. After a long time, she turned around and looked at Vincent: "Don''t read any brainless novels, your brain wasn''t very bright in the first ce." Shaking her head after saying this, she opened the door and went into the room. Looking at the closed door and smelling the faint scent of medicine on the pillow in his hand, Vincent suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Ruby has such a charm that he is able to feel at ease just by being by her side, even if she does nothing. Instead of leaving, Vincent went straight to the guest room and slept there for the afternoon. Ruby got some sleep and woke up only to find several missed calls on her phone. The most frequent are still calls from Spencer, as well as a few unknown numbers and a few messages. Ruby looked through the messages casually and found that they were all from Rita, who presumably found out that she had cked out her phone number and so called from a different number. Ruby snorted and cked out her number once again before she felt the world go silent. Yawning, she just called Spencer back. "Dad, you wanted to see me?" The voice of Ruby who has just woken up with a drowsy sleepiness is husky and soft, indescribably sexy. Spencer, who was originally full of anger, suddenly felt relieved when he heard Ruby''s voice: "Ruby, you said you wereing to see me today, but you haven¡¯te yet. Are you alright?" "Well, I''m with Levi, I''ll go over to the hospitalter." Ruby directly took out Levi as a shield. Since the car ident, Levi rarely appeared in front of people, so it was impossible for Spencer to know. As expected, hearing Ruby say this, Spencer didn''t doubt it in the slightest: "In that case, then you have to get along well with him, I am trying to ask you, there is a recent project on the Finn family, a cross-sea bridge, do you have a chance to see their budget? Our Harold family is also nning to invest in this project, if we can take it, the Harold family''s crisis will be able to pass." When Spencer spoke to Ruby, his tone was subconsciously pleasing, no longer themanding tone he had before. "I''m not sure about this, but it seems that Lennon is in charge of it right now. Dad, do you want Rita to ask Lennon?" Ruby looked as if she was in a difficult position. The mention of Rita made Spencer feel angry: "Don''t mention that sinful bastard! I really sinned in my "Dad, my sister is still young, she may just be confused for a moment. Don''t be anxious, take your time to teach her. Susan is not at home now, if you get angry and break your health, who will take care of you?" The corners of Ruby''s mouth curved as she listened to Spencer''s exasperated voice, in a good mood, but her tone was soft and soothing. Spencer felt better, and he regretted more and more the way he had treated Ruby: "Ruby, for what I did that to you ......" "Dad, it''s all in the past, isn''t it? We''re a family." Ruby interrupted Spencer''s words. Spencer was overwhelmed with emotion and cared for Ruby before hanging up the phone. Ruby looked down at her phone, those words of Spencer still echoing in her ears. He just wants her to get information from Levi. Spencer is still as unscrupulous as ever for the sake of profit. He could abandon Nellie and force her to death without hesitation back then, and he can abandon Susan and Rita without hesitation now. Chapter 69 Do a Favour? Chapter 69 Do a Favour? When she woke up and went out, it was quiet outside. She thought that Vincent had left and nned to go to the kitchen to get a Coke, but after two steps she noticed that something was wrong and turned her head towards the living room sofa, she saw two men sitting there staring at each other, quiet and inexplicable, and the smell of smoke was in the air. Ruby paused in her steps, turned a corner and walked past. Looking at Levi and then at Vincent, she couldn''t help but open her mouth to ask, "What are you two doing!?" Looking at the way the two of them looked at each other, those who didn''t know would have thought they were interested in each other. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Levi faintly withdrew his gaze and raised his eyes to look at Ruby, who was wearing a very loose and casual cotton linen night dress, with a pair of long legs revealing. She just woke up, hair still ubed, faded away from the previous cold look, but looked sexy. He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke up naturally inquiring, "Miss Fiancee, are you usually this unconventional, bringing home random men for the night and walking around in front of them dressed like this?" Ruby froze for a moment and subconsciously looked down at herself. It was a very normal nightgown that covered all the ces that should be covered, nothing out of ce. Looking at Levi again, as if he hade to catch the adultery, she could not help butugh and look at Levi: "What!? Mr. Finn, are you jealous? Not happy that I brought a man home for the night?" "What you do is your freedom. It has nothing to do with me." Levi looked detached and expressionless as he replied, only his heart felt as if it was blocked by something, very ufortable. This feeling had never been felt before, and for a moment he was confused as to what kind of attitude he had towards Ruby. The two were merely married by agreement, and at most they had a meeting at a hotel before their engagement was confirmed. This woman is treacherous, outwardly harmless and silly, but in reality she is agile, and not only that, she is even skilled in the art of medicine. The more he came into contact with her, the more he found Ruby mysterious. The more he paid attention to her, the more easily his emotions were swayed and controlled by her. This feeling of being out of control is really unpleasant. Ruby went straight around the sofa and sat down on the single sofa, leaned backzily and opened her mouth, "Mr. Finn, we agreed on a marriage by agreement, you don''t care about me and I don''t care about you, you are good and I am good, why do you have toe and meddle in my business?" Looking at her with this careless look, Levi felt that he had really made a fool of himself bying here! He''d be crazy toe all the way over here to see if these two have some kind of shady rtionship! The words that Amelia said yesterday are still in his ears and have been echoing non-stop. He took a deep breath before suppressing the anger in his heart, "Come back to the Finn¡¯s with me today, and live in peace at the Finn¡¯s during the period until your wedding." "I''m afraid it''s against the rules. ording to custom, the couple can''t see each other before the wedding, I think I''d better stay here, it''s quitefortable." Ruby smiled flirtatiously and threw a wink at Levi. Levi''s chest rose and fell violently, angry and parched. "Ruby, are you hungry? I''ll go and cook for you, okay?" Vincent kept watching the two interact, and the more he watched, the more he felt that something was wrong with these two. How does this look like a young couple arguing! He decided to make them argue a little more intensely. Ruby yawned and nodded, speaking carelessly, "Well, go on, I''m starving." "As you wish, baby, I''ll make sure to feed you well!" Vincent even gave Levi an ambiguous nce as he spoke. Levi clenched his fist and sulked without speaking. Vincent got up and walked to the kitchen. "Mr. Finn, aren''t you leaving yet? Want to stay here with me for dinner?" Ruby nted a nce at Levi and asked casually. "Okay." Levi replied dryly, and he, who had already risen, sat back down again. Ruby froze for a moment before she responded. This man is so shameless, isn''t he? She had clearly not just invited him to stay for dinner. However, looking at Levi sitting there calmly, not treating himself as an outsider in the slightest, Ruby rolled her eyes and simply let him go. He could have a meal here anyway. Levi looked at Ruby''s indifferent look and raised his eyebrows slightly. Vincent''s cooking skills were excellent and it wasn''t long before a burst of vour came through. Ruby picked up a magazine and casually flipped through a few pages, smelling the scent, having long been distracted. It was half an hour before she heard Vincent shout from there, "Dinner''s ready." Ruby put down the magazine in her hand and got up, just as Levi also stood up. The two of them synchronized their movements and went in another direction, only to get stuck in the middle of the two sofas. Ruby looked quite speechlessly at Levi: "Mr. Finn, my house is actually quite big." "Well, so you''re not going over there yet? Is it because you want to take the opportunity to get closer to me?" The corners of Levi''s eyes were raised and he cast a nce at Ruby, the corners of his mouth hooked, and his tone carried a few moments of ridicule within. The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched and she cursed that he was sick before sidling over. The two of them approached side-by-side, the woman''s fragrant scent hitting his nose, Levi only felt his heart beat hard, the kind of emotions that messed with his mind came back up. He looked at Ruby''s back, the closer he got, the more he felt that this woman was too familiar, whether it was the smell of her body or her figure, it always reminded him of five years ago ...... Chapter 70 Be a Human Being? Chapter 70 Be a Human Being? When Vincent brought the meal to the table and saw that Levi had followed along, his good-looking eyes narrowed and he coldly asked Ruby, "Why is he still here?" "Eat." Ruby replied, went over and got the bowls and chopsticks and served them to Levi. Levi sat down. Vincent: "......" When she had eaten and drunk enough, Ruby got up to clean up, Vincent red at Levi and spoke with a warning, "You are not suitable for Ruby, you don''t know everything about her, you have no idea what she needs and what kind of man is suitable for her. Let go of her, Levi." Levi raised his eyebrows lightly and gave Vincent an oblique nce, "She shouldn''t like sissies." Vincent: "......" He couldn''t beat Levi in a fight! Vincent''s chest rose and fell violently in anger. Ruby threw all the dishes into the dishwasher and came out, only to see Vincent was angry, while Levi sat there calmly, in a rxed manner, obviously the two of them had just exchanged words and it was Levi who won. Ruby did not want to pay attention to the two childish people. This afternoon she had to go to Dr. Moore''s research institute, the result of thetest clinical trial of the experimental drug came out, which is rted to whether the experimental drug can be applied to the actual. Once the drug is on the market and widely used in major hospitals, she will have a very substantial profit. "Get lost if you''ve had enough, I have things to do and I have to go out this afternoon." Ruby waved her hand and gave the expulsion order very nonchntly. Levi stood up very consciously, "Where to? I''ll give you a lift." He didn''t wait for Ruby to refuse, he added, "Doing the duty of a fianc¨¦." Ruby looked at Levi with narrowed eyes, looking at him with that ungrateful look, she wanted to give him a p on the face. If she had known that this man was not a cripple and had so many things to mess with, she would never have agreed toe back and get married! Now it''s really a mistake! "No need, someone will pick me up." Ruby looked at Levi for a while, and it was only when Levi thought he had won over Vincent that he heard Ruby speak in a cold voice. Levi''s footsteps gave a slight pause and his expression was somewhat subtle. He had been used to smooth in life since he was a child, and it was the first time he had met a woman like Ruby who was against him at every turn and went against his wishes, and he really found it somewhat new. Ruby ignored them and went back to change her clothes just as Dr. Moore''s phone call came in, she answered the phone as she went out, "Dr. Moore, I''m already out, are you there? Then wait for me at the door, I''ll be right out." Levi had sharp ears and faintly heard the words Dr. Moore, and was about to ask Ruby when she had already opened the door and gone out. He hesitated for a moment and followed her out. Vincent followed defiantly. Ruby stood at the lift door before noticing that two men were following behind her, one with the other, both with defiant expressions on their faces. She pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, until she entered the lift. Levi and Vincent went in together, the two of them standing left and right on either side of Ruby, like left and right guardians. "You guys, how old are you?" Ruby looked to her left and then to her right, really speechless. How can Levi have such a childish side? Levi and Vincent held their chins up, both looking quite proud, and did not answer Ruby''s words. Ruby was toozy to pay any attention to the two of them. When the lift went down to the ground floor, she walked out quickly. Ruby went over and knocked on the window, the door opened and she bent down and got into the car. Levi looked at that car and fell into silence. There are not many people who drive such a car in Sea City, only three, one is the top one in Sea City, one is an old cadre who retired from above, and the other is Dr. Moore. Dr. Moore''s status in Sea City is superb, and it can even be said that his status in the whole of H Country, and even internationally, is superb. He is an authentic expert in biology, applying biology to clinical medicine, and has researched a number of new types of drugs that have saved many patients in the country. The owner of this car ...... Levi was thoughtful, watching the car drifting away, as it was some distance away, he could vaguely see the license te. In the whole of H Country, there is only one person who dares to use such an arrogant license te. That''s Dr. Moore. What is Ruby''s rtionship with Dr. Moore? Why did hee to pick her up personally? The more he gets in touch with her, the more he realizes that she is a person full of mists that he can never see through. He thinks he has uncovered one of her masks, but he''ll soon find out there''s another one inside! But on the contrary, the feeling of uncovering the truth will keep him on the edge of his seat. Vincent watched the car go and was instantly interested, "Levi, go sit at my ce?" Vincent waved the car key in his hand. Levi looked at it, didn''t refuse but nodded his head. Vincent went to the car park and drove the car, taking Levi with him, and the two of them left Shangcheng International together, but in half an hour, they stopped in another rich residential area. Shangcheng International is a ce that even money may not be able to buy, while Vincent¡¯s living ce is a ce that you can definitely buy if you have enough money. Levi looked at the neighborhood in front of him, and then at the young man with an impish face, and became more and more curious. "How did you and her meet?" Only after the two of them got out of the car did Levi casually ask This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Vincent. "Who? Ruby?" Vincent locked the car door and nced back at Levi. Levi nodded, "Yes." "Oh, it''s a long story, I saved her life." Vincent had a smug look on his face. Levi believed half of what he said and left half. Ruby is not an ordinary person, even five years ago, when she was driven away from the Harold family, she is probably not as simple as she looks. Now she returns, she will stir up a storm in Sea City. "Levi, I''m serious, you and Ruby are not suitable. You have no idea what she has gone through or what she has carried, and you are too troublesome, if you really want to be with her, you will only bring trouble to her. Unless, you''re only with her to use her and get her to help keep that woman by your side out of trouble, but you should also think carefully. Ruby is a person who can''t tolerate a bit of mistake in her eyes, especially when ites to her feelings, once you cheat her, she will never be able to hue forgive you for the rest of her life." Vincent looked at Levi with a serious face and opened his mouth warily. Levi was unimpressed, but he didn''t expect that Vincent''s words would really be a maxim. Chapter 71 Car Accident Chapter 71 Car ident "Is this all data from the most recent clinic? Why does this patient''s data fluctuate so much? Is there something wrong?" After getting into the car, Ruby took the information handed over by Dr. Moore, flipped through it a few times, and finally her eyes fell on the data of one of the patients. Dr. Moore gathered over and took a look, reaching out to take the information over, "This patient''s situation is a bitplicated, I''m afraid you''ll need to see it to be sure. He''s been in aa for a whole twenty years, after using our medicine, the initial use was very effective, but in theter stages it seems that his body suddenly became resistant to the medicine, suddenly bing immune to it and not responding in any way. ." "Then I''ll go and see." Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby nodded thoughtfully and took the information back, reading it carefully a few more times before returning it to Dr. Moore. "By the way, there''s a new employee in the Institute, and since I''m not in charge of the experimental medicine, I didn''t tell you." Dr. Moore paused for a moment as he took the information before he suddenly spoke. "Your institute¡¯s recruiting has nothing to do with me, there''s no need to report to me. Even if they are involved in the research of experimental drugs, it doesn''t matter, you can just make sure that the employee is good and won''t leak the information." Ruby looked at Dr. Moore somewhat strangely, not understanding why he was suddenly telling her this matter. Dr. Moore coughed twice before speaking, "I have my selfishness about this matter, that new researcher is my granddaughter. I only have that one granddaughter, always thinking......" Before Dr. Moore could finish his words, the driver driving in front of him suddenly let out a miserable cry, then jerked the steering wheel and the car hit the next guardrail hard. The car was so well protected against shocks that an airbag popped in the driver''s ce and he suffered only very minor injuries. Ruby and Dr. Moore in the backseat were not wearing seat belts, so when the car crashed violently, their bodies inertially moved forward and hit the front seats hard. Fortunately, the quality of the car was so good that the two only hit and did not suffer any injuries. Dr. Moore''s face turned pale, covering his chest and breathing a little heavily. Ruby was startled at the sight and hurriedly reached out to pull the man up. "I, I''m fine, I''m fine ......," Dr. Moore spoke weakly with his eyes closed, his face half-bloodied. "Don''t talk, where''s your medicine? Did you bring it with you?" Ruby reached for Dr. Moore''s pockets and didn''t find the medicine he usually carried. Dr. Moore was breathing heavily and could no longer speak. At this point, his entire face gradually began to turn blue and purple, and his condition was very bleak. "Damn it!" Ruby cursed and first took out the silver needles she carried from her body, drew three of them and stuck them in Dr. Moore¡¯s body. Dr. Moore''s breathing finally eased and he looked much better. Ruby sighed with relief and turned her head to ask the driver who was driving, "Who else knows about Dr. Mooreing out today besides you? Has his whereabouts been leaked?" The driver was also full of fear at this point, and thought seriously for a moment before shaking his head, "No, Dr. Moore was improvising and intended to pick you up, and no one else should know about this matter." Ruby frowned, thoughtful, and didn''t ask any more questions. For his part, Dr. Moore''s face changed and he had a rough guess in his mind. His whereabouts would not be known to outsiders, but there was one person he would never hide. He remembered that when he went out, Amelia had specifically asked him if he was going to pick up Ruby today. Although Dr. Moore did not want to believe that his granddaughter could be that malicious, he had to believe it at this point. He closed his eyes and didn''t say anything. The driver got out of the car and checked, the car was in good condition, so only the front end was scratched, but just now the car''s brakes suddenly failed, and the driver did not dare to continue driving this car rashly, so he had to call a tow truck. Ruby and Dr. Moore got out of the car. Dr. Moore was still weak and Ruby reached out to support him as he stood by the roadside waiting for help. At that moment a ck Volkswagen Phaeton drove past and backed up again not long after, its windows rolled down to reveal a familiar face. "Miss Harold? Dr. Moore?" Jared was still a bit stunned when he saw Ruby, and when he saw the old man standing beside Ruby, he was surprised. Ruby actually knows Dr. Moore? And by the looks of the two, they seem to be on good terms? "Do you need me to give you a lift?" Jared felt a million questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he didn''t know how to start. Looking at Ruby, he felt that there might be something wrong with this world. He had already overestimated Ruby, yet he could not rte her to a titanic figure in the academic medical world. It was the end of June and almost July, and the temperature outside was in the high forties. She was not afraid of heat or cold anyway, but Dr. Moore had just fallen ill and was now very weak, and after standing outside for just a short while, his face began to turn white. After a moment''s hesitation, Ruby helped Dr. Moore to walk towards Jared. Jared hurriedly got out of the car and helped open the door, respectfully weing Dr. Moore and Ruby into the car. "Where are you going?" Jared knowingly asked the question. Ruby raised her eyebrows and gave him a look, thinking of how familiar he was with Levi, she guessed that he would tell the whole world about it. There will be some trouble if her identity is revealed. Ruby pondered whether to poison Jared mute or simply make him retarded with a shot so as to keep the secret. Jared suddenly felt a chill behind his back, through the reversing mirror, he saw the way Ruby looked at himself, inexplicably feeling very murderous, like the look of Levi when he was about to kill someone. He scowled, not daring to ask any more questions and drove honestly. The location of Dr. Moore''s institute was hardly unknown to anyone in the whole of Sea City, and Jared sent the man there safely, stopping only when he reached the door. Ruby helped Dr. Moore out of the car, nced back at Jared and made a gesture of zipping up her mouth, followed by a neck-wiping gesture before helping Dr. Moore inside. Jared felt as if he had died once, it was horrible! This woman''s killing intent was actually more than Levi had ever had! How many people had she killed to have such a heavy killing intent? The first time he saw it, he was so scared that his hand shook and he hung up the phone. It was only after hanging up the phone that he realized something was wrong. He has rarely made a mistake in his life, but today he made a mistake in everything. His hand was shivering as he called back to Levi, and as soon as the call was answered, he heard Levi''s mean voiceing from inside the phone: "What! Are you with a woman? How dare you hang up on me, huh?" Chapter 72 Dont Get Emotionally Involved Chapter 72 Don''t Get Emotionally Involved "No, no, Levi, I ......" Jared was about to speak, the corner of his eyes touched Ruby who had gone and returned, and he shut up at once. Ruby walked up to the car and raised her hand to knock on the window. Jared hurriedly rolled down the window, his hand over his phone, and looked at Ruby. "I left my stuff in your car." Ruby pointed to the back. Jared hurriedly came to his senses and opened the back door. Ruby opened the door and picked up the document that had fallen on the floor, turned around and left, without even giving Jared a second nce from start to finish. Jared waited for her to walk away before he sighed in relief and put the phone to his ear. "You''re with Ruby?" The phone had been ringing on Levi¡¯s side and Ruby was speaking neither too loudly nor too quietly, just loud enough for him to hear clearly. Jared''s heart thumped before he responded, "Didn''t she send over some ointment that was particrly good for treating traumatic injuries? It was agreed that it would be delivered once a month, and today happened to be the time to deliver the medicine, so she dropped by to give me some medicine and ended up leaving something in my car." Levi hung up the phone straight away. Jared was confused, but thinking that Levi would definitely look for himself for the ointment, so he hurriedly called Ruby, "Miss Harold, I just lied to Levi in order to help you hide it, saying that you were here to bring me the ointment, you must give me the ointment today, otherwise, I might die." "Heh." Ruby snorted and hung up the phone straight away. In front of her at this moment was a middle-aged man covered in tubes. The man looked weak, and because he had not seen sunlight for years, even the capiries beneath his skin were clearly visible. When Ruby saw this man''s face, she was slightly startled and felt some familiarity. But soon her attention was drawn away from the various statistics of his body and she did not stare at the other man''s face again. The man has been in aa for a full twenty years, and all the statistics are not promising. After the use of the experimental medicine, there was a little improvement, but it was still far from awakening. "Well?" Dr. Moore was nervous. There are twenty patients in this batch undergoing clinical trials of experimental drugs, and all of them are recovering well except for the patient in front of them whose data is somewhat problematic. Most of those who have been in aa for no more than five years are awake and are currently recovering very well and their intelligence has not been affected in any way. "Can we get a report on this patient''s treatment for the past twenty years? I suspect he has a very serious drug resistance of his own and must know the medication used in the past twenty years before I can judge how to treat him." Ruby gave the patient a brief examination and found that it was a medical miracle that he had survived as long as he had. Twenty years ago, medical equipment was very backward and he was in an ident and fell into a deepa. Under normal circumstances, his family would have given up on treatment, but instead of giving up, his family has persevered until now. "I''ll have to ask the patient''s family about that, this patient is a bit special, he''s a member of the Hussain family." Dr. Moore hesitated for a moment before he spoke up to exin. "What''s wrong with the Hussain family?" Ruby didn''t know much about these families in the country, and there were no Hussain surnames in Sea City anyway. "The Hussain family is one of the four great families in the capital, and their family has a terrifying background." Dr. Moore looked at Ruby and knew she didn¡¯t understand, so he seriously gave her a little science. "It doesn''t matter if it''s the Hussain family or whatever, he''s my patient now, go ask them for the treatment records. I need to know all the records of his treatment during the twenty years, every medication and how much of it was used. Tell them to do it as soon as possible, don''t dy if they want him to live." Ruby waved her hand, not very interested and sent Dr. Moore out to ask for information. She circled around the man and examined him carefully, noticing that the man was really in a bit of a strange state of health. "Strange, what kind of medicine was used?" Ruby looked at him for a while, but she could not figure out. By now Dr. Moore had returned, and seeing her frowning, he thought that something was wrong with the patient and was startled, "What! Is there something wrong with the patient?" "No, it''s a bit strange. When will his treatment records arrive?" Ruby shook her head, not exining too much. Dr. Moore sighed with relief and gave Ashley Hussain, who was lying there, another nce before answering Ruby''s question, "The Hussain family said that the early treatment records were all handwritten and were over at the General Hospital of the Military, so they are going over there now to see if they can find them. The rest will be transmitted over to our sideter." "Okay. Take some of his blood and also hair and skin tissue, I need to do a test." Ruby didn''t ask any more questions about this matter, got another researcher toe over and instructed. The researcher nced at Ruby, his face could not help but redden, and after answering, he lowered his head and went to get the tools to draw blood. Ruby stood there and waited. "Grandpa? Can Ie in?" At that moment, a tentative voice came from outside the ward, very faintly. Ruby frowned and nced at Dr. Moore. This ward is a special ward, where all patients are admitted for clinical trials of experimental drugs, and no one else is allowed near the ward unless they are researchers involved in this trial. This is a rule of the Institute. Dr. Moore''s face didn''t look good either, he coughed and looked awkwardly at Ruby, "I''ll take care of it." Ruby said, "Dr. Moore, the matter of experimental drugs is of vital importance, these drugs are attaching much intention by many people, even a group of domestic mercenaries have alreadye in just to get the data of the experimental drugs. Once the data is leaked, it will be an incalcble loss for the whole H Country. In front of such matters, I hope you can put aside personal feelings." She knew that Dr. Moore''s children had died early and now there was only one granddaughter left, who was usually very precious, so she was afraid that he might get emotionally involved, so she warned him. Dr. Moore paused in his steps at this before walking out of the ward with a not-so-good look on his face. When Dr. Moore exited the ward, he saw Amelia standing outside the door. "Grandpa, it''s almost time for dinner, I''vee to apany you to dinner." Seeing that Dr. Moore came out, Amelia immediately changed into a sweet smile and reached out to take Dr. Moore''s arm. Dr. Moore withdrew his hand and looked at her for a moment before reminding, "This is an important area of theboratory, you are not allowed to enter without permission. I have made it very clear to you when I first recruited you in." Amelia''s face changed and she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, "I''m sorry grandpa, I, I just thought ofing over to ask you to join me for dinner. I will definitely abide by theb''s system in the Content ? N?velDrama.Org. future, I will definitely not run around, don''t be angry, okay?" What Ruby said inside just now was clearly heard by Amelia, and she did not expect that Dr. Moore would actually criticize her so harshly for an outsider. Chapter 73 Leaving in Ten Minutes Chapter 73 Leaving in Ten Minutes She was so aggrieved that her eyes were red. Seeing her like this, Dr. Moore raised his hand and pinched his brow, "Amelia, do you remember what you promised me when you begged me to let you in the Institute?" "Of course I remember, Grandpa. I promised you that I would study well, and that I would not disgrace your prestige." Amelia surreptitiously gauged Dr. Moore''s expression and saw that he didn''t seem angry, and was slightly relieved before answering in a small voice. Dr. Moore looked at the expression on her face and knew she didn''t even realize she had done anything wrong. Not even she was half surprised to see him intact, without a single question. Dr. Moore did not know when his granddaughter had be so cold-blooded that she would tamper with the car and even try to harm him along with it. He was disappointed in his heart, and his eyes were less loving than usual when he looked at Amelia: "Amelia, after entering the institute, I am not your grandfather, but your leader, your superior. This is a special ward, any researcher, unless they are in charge of this N-S86 experimental medicine, may not go near the special ward, let alone enter the special ward for no reason. Anyone who vites the rules, ording to the rules of the Institute, will be removed." Dr. Moore''s voice was cold and stern, without any half-hearted ambiguity, and after finishing one sentence, he followed it up with, "Amelia, from today onwards, you are no longer a researcher of Institute No. 3, please take off your uniform, leave all the objects of the Institute behind, and leave the Institute. Leave within ten minutes." When Dr. Moore finished speaking, he didn''t even bother to look at her and directly called the Institute''s security personnel toe over. Amelia looked at Dr. Moore with disbelief. Was this stern old man the same old one who had been very loving and doting to her in the past? "Grandpa?" Reluctantly, Amelia took a step forward and opened her mouth to call out. Dr. Moore didn''t even pause in his steps, walking quickly away. A security officer soon came over and asked Amelia to leave. She only felt an overwhelming sense of grief and humiliation, and with red eyes, she almost couldn''t hold back the tears that fell. At that moment, Ruby came out of the ward, took off the disposable gloves she was wearing and threw them into the rubbish bin. When she saw Ruby, Amelia didn''t know where she got the strength to suddenly break free from the two security guards'' confinement and rush towards Ruby. "It was you, wasn''t it? What exactly did you say to my grandfather! Ruby! How can you be so shameless and disgusting that you can even do it to a 70-year-old man! Now my grandfather and I are in such a mess, are you happy? Are you satisfied?" Ruby looked at her with narrowed eyes, originally she did not want to bother with her, but her words became more and more excessive, and finally she even insulted Dr. Moore along with her. So just as Amelia''s words fell, Ruby raised her hand and gave her a p. The p was harsh, fierce. Half of Amelia¡¯s face was instantly red and swollen. Amelia froze. Is she crazy? This is Institute 3, her grandfather''s ce ...... Only after she had finished beating her did Ruby speak indifferently: "Amelia,e back to ask me such questions when you are sitting in my position. Right now, you are not qualified to do so. Throw her out, such a person is not allowed to enter the Institute half a step in the future." The two security guards came forward and gave her a sympathetic look before dragging her out. It was only when she was left at the entrance of the Institute, with the hot sunlight falling on her, she came back to her senses. She was really kicked out of the institute, and with her strength, it would have been easy and simple to get into any other institute in the country. But once it is known that she has been removed from Institute No. 3, there will not be another institute in the whole of H Country willing to ept her! How could Dr. Moore be so cruel as topletely ruin her future? Howe the car didn''t go wrong and run over that old man today? With a resentful gaze, Amelia turned to nce viciously at the Institute''s gate behind her and left with quick steps. "Miss Harold, Dr. Moore is not feeling well, he asked me to help you, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Ruby went to wash her hands and when she returned to the ward, there was an additional young man inside the ward, looking twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and his face would still blush when he spoke. Ruby saw this nervous look on his face and couldn''t help butugh: "Why are you so nervous! It''s not like I''m going to eat anyone." "I''m, I''m just, just a little nervous." The man scratched his head and thought for a moment before speaking hurriedly, "My name is Oscar Palmer, I''ve been in the Institute for eight months." "Okay, I am Ruby Harold." Ruby reported her name indifferently, and went over to check on Ashley Hussain. There was little fluctuationpared to earlier, but the brain cell activity actually decreased by 0.5% after the drug was administered. This situation is really a bit of a problem. "Has the information from the Hussain family''s side been sent over?" Ruby looked at the time, more than an hour had passed since Dr. Moore had contacted the Hussain family for the information. "Not yet, the information will be sent over when ites." Oscar shook his head and replied with some formality. Ruby was silent for a moment and was just about to speak when she saw someonee in panting and carrying a paper box. "Miss Harold, the information you asked for has been delivered." Ashley''s case was so unusual that Oscar and Ruby had spent half a day togetherpiling information and going through his treatment process over the past twenty years, but could not find anything wrong with it. Ruby wanted to read further, but her mobile phone rang. She took out her phone, pressing her finger on top of the caller and pursing her lips in silence. "Miss Harold, if you have something to do, go ahead, I''ll consolidate the data and hand it over to you when it''s done." Oscar looked at her staring at her phone and didn''t have the intention to answer it, so he whispered. Ruby gave a nod and Oscar went out with the information in his arms. Ruby looked at the caller steadily for a long time, finally sighed and answered the phone. "Ruby?" A raspy old man''s voice came out from the other end of the phone, with a tone of uncertainty. "Grandma, why are you calling me at this hour, it should be early morning in F Country. Can''t you fall asleep again?" The expression on Ruby''s face softened considerably and she sat down directly on the floor, rxing all over. "It''s been some days since you returned to H Country, you haven¡¯t contact me once and I always worry that you''ve been bullied. The Harold family didn''t bully you, did they?" Grandma''s old voice rang out, apanied by a coughing sound. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Ruby frowned, from the sound of her voice, she could hear that her grandmother''s body was getting weaker and weaker. If she could not find the right bone marrow for the operation, her grandma really won''t be able to hold on. Chapter 74 Happy to See them Fight Chapter 74 Happy to See them Fight She pursed her lips and listened to her grandmother rambling on the other end, urging her to take care of herself while telling her not to aggravate herself. Ruby listened for a while before asking her softly; "Do you want to go back? You''ve been talking about wanting to go home, can I take you home?" After this question was asked, there was a long silence on the other end, with cough after cough, causing Ruby to frown more and more. "Have you been unwelltely? Why have you been hiding it from me?" Ruby had left someone over at the hospital, but she hadn''t received any news about her grandmother''s health problems during this period of time, so she guessed that the olddy was hiding it from herself again. Knowing the olddy''s temperament, Ruby felt another headache. "Come back once you''ve got your grandfather''s things back, I am not going back. Ruby, don¡¯t stay there, listen to me and don''t go to the Harold family." Grandma coughed as she advised Ruby. "Well, I''ll be back with you when I''m done here." They chatted for a while before Ruby hung up the phone. After thinking about it, she called out again, "Still no luck with my grandmother''s mother''s family?" "No, not a single clue. All traces of your grandmother have been deleted, and the other party is so clever that even I can''t decipher to recover the deleted information. Her blood type is so special, I hacked into the medical information database in H Country but couldn''t find anyone who matched her DNA." The voice on the other end sounded depressed, as if he had encountered an unprecedented problem. This is a rare case indeed. Even if personal information is covered up, DNA information cannot be covered up along with it. Is there some other mysterious identity to Grandma? "Keep checking, or buy information from District 7, they have information on everyone in H Country, as long as they have enough benefits, they will sell it." Ruby was silent for a long time before she clenched her fist. "Got it. I''ll try to get in touch with them." After hanging up the phone, Ruby felt a little tired throughout. When she got up, she inadvertently looked at Ashley lying on the hospital bed again. She didn''t know if it was an illusion, but when she looked at him at this moment, she actually looked a bit simr to her grandmother. But Grandma''s surname is Gordon, so she should have nothing to do with the Hussain family. Ruby smiled to herself, feeling that she had really caught the wind too much. After looking at the data integration done by Oscar, it was time for lunch and Ruby simply went to the canteen to eat. It was only when she reached her seat that she found several missed calls on her mobile phone, the most of which were from Spencer. Nowadays, Rita and Lennon''s affair is in full swing, and the media is all over it, especially after Rita and Lennon''s scandals have been exposed one after another, the paparazzi have been busytely, gathering all kinds of dark information about the two. The Harold Group has been hit extremely hard by this incident and now Spencer is anxious. The project with the Finn Group is particrly troublesome, and now because of Rita''s attention, the project has been exposed for using inferior materials and cutting corners, and there are many safety hazards. The Finn Group has directly offered to break the partnership and is demandingpensation from the Harold Group for the relevant losses. Spencer has not been able to eat or sleep well in the past two days over this matter. Ruby ordered her food, sat down and called Spencer back, "Hello, Dad, you wanted to see me?" Her manner was as gentle as ever, except that her face was devoid of any expression and breathed a coldness that struck a stranger. Spencer heard Ruby''s voice as if he had seen a saviour, "Ruby, you should go and tell Levi not to pursue that project any further, we will definitely not use inferior materials at ater stage, and we also promise to take good safety measures. We can¡¯t lose this project, once it is lost, we will not be far from bankruptcy. " Ruby could feel Spencer''s anxious heart through the screen of his mobile phone. She had calcted Rita and didn''t care any further, but she didn''t expect that there would be a follow- up to this matter. Is there someone else behind the scenes against the Harold family? "Dad, it''s useless for you to look for me in this matter. Since Levi was paralyzed in the car ident, everything in the Finn Group has been handed over to Lennon, who doesn''t care about thepany now. Is Rita not at home? Ask her if she can speak to Lennon and ask him not to continue to deal with the Harold family." Ruby''s words were nice to here, for one thing, she threw the responsibility on Rita, and for another, he reminded Spencer that the Harold family would be in this situation today was mostly because Lennon was behind it. Spencer is a man with only profit in his eyes, and he values the Harold Group more than his life. "I''ll go and mention it to Levi, Dad, it''s better to hurry up and contact sister." Lest Spencer wasn''t angry enough, Ruby repeated it only one more time. Ruby is happy to watch them fighting. As expected, after Ruby finished her words, Spencer''s tone became even worse, "I know, you can help me say a few good words in front of Levi. You may not know that Levi is a very uplicated person, at first he only took a year topletely subdue all of shareholders and top management in Finn Group. Now even if he is really paralyzed, I guess the hearts of the shareholders and senior management are still towards him. As long as he is not dead, Finn Group will not really fall into Lennon''s hands." Although Spencer was greedy and snobbish, he was indeed a smart man. "Okay, Dad, I will say a few more good words about you in front of Levi and get him to help you." Ruby agreed obediently. Spencer became more and more satisfied with Ruby and asked her to take care of her before hanging up the phone. Ruby tossed the phone aside. After eating, it was already dark outside, so she said goodbye to Dr. Moore and went back to Shangcheng International. The Institute is located in the heart of the city, but this area is full of university towns and various research institutes, so it is rtively quiet. Ruby came out of the Institute and walked towards the street outside with her head down while opening her phone''s app to call a taxi. As she was walking, suddenly blinding lights hit in front of her. Ruby looked up and saw an unlicensed ck Audi directly in front of her, driving towards her, and the car was going faster and faster. Ruby subconsciously wanted to dodge, but as she ran to the side, the car swerved with her. It was obvious that the car''s purpose was to run over Ruby. When the car was less than a hundred metres away from her, Ruby suddenly built up her strength and took two steps forward, then took the initiative and rolled onto the front of the car that crashed into her, rolling her body to the side in one smooth motion. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. After the Audi hit the person, it even reversed back, seemingly wanting to press over Ruby''s body again. But the car had only just backed up a few metres, it suddenly sank and the two tyres on the right side were, in fact, all out of air. The driver of the car turned the steering wheel anxiously, the car was unresponsive. She stopped, pulled open the door to get out but a silver needle was already stuck into her neck. Chapter 75 Killing Chapter 75 Killing "Keep moving if you want to die." Ruby raised her hand upwards slightly, and the silver needle in her hand pierced the skin on the other party¡¯s neck. She looked at the woman in front of her, wearing a mask and sunsses, her eyes cold. The woman didn''t dare to move, the silver needle was pressed against her aorta and if she did pierce it, she would surely bleed out. "I didn''t expect you to be so lucky that you didn''t even die like this. But people like you, who have done too many bad deeds, will always have their retribution, Ruby, I''m waiting to see the day when you have your retribution!" The woman''s voice was cold and carried extreme hatred. Ruby was a little surprised and reached out to take the sunsses off her face and her hat off before she could see her face clearly. Very unfamiliar, never seen it before. She was in her thirties, her hair was half grey and the skin on her face was rough, obviously having been upte for a long time and doing work that had to withstand exposure to the sun and wind. Looking at the unconcealed hatred inside the woman''s eyes, Ruby sent the silver needle in her hand forward a little, "Who told you toe, or what is the enmity between you and me?" "Who told me toe? Oh, don''t you think it''s ridiculous for you to ask such a question, Miss Harold?" The woman looked at Ruby with a sarcastic look in her eyes and spat at her. Ruby frowned, "Speak properly! Have I offended you?" The words "Miss Harold " made Ruby have a vague suspicion. She hadn''t been back in the country for long and hadn''t actively caused any trouble, and the only person who had be famous recently was Rita, who didn''t have much to do with her. The only thing of concern to the Harold family is probably the project signed with the Finn Group. Spencer wanted to save costs, so he cut corners and used the worst materials, and did not even take into ount the safety of the workers, and she heard that three workers died inside the construction site a month ago. "You''re still pretending? What are you pretending for, Ruby! There''s not a single good person in your Harold family! You are even less of a good person! The Harold family has done such harmful things and you still protect them! I won''t spare you even if I die!" The woman took the initiative and lifted her chin, sending her neck forward. Ruby subconsciously withdrew the silver needle in her hand. She looked at the haggardly described woman in front of her with some mixed emotions. The Harold family has probably done more sins than just this one, and each time Spencer has found a way to muddle through. That man relied on the lives and blood and sweat of these workers to grow the Harold Group little by little, but still did not satisfy, and wanted to continue to use the workers to build his business kingdom. "There is a reason for injustice, since it was Spencer who caused your family to break up, you should go to him, what are you doing to me!¡± Ruby quickly regained herposure and looked at the woman in front of her with an indifferent expression. "You''re his precious daughter, I''ll kill you so that he can feel the pain of losing his loved ones too! Ruby, you either kill me today, if you don''t, I will ......" The woman''s eyes were red and she red angrily at Ruby, with that look as if she wanted to pounce on Ruby and gnaw on her fiercely. "Anytime, but I''m afraid you won''t be able to kill me and you''ll have to go to hell with your family. I suppose you have children? Do you want to make your children orphans?" Ruby took a step back and just looked at the woman, her tone taking on a bit of mockery. The woman couldn''t hold back her tears at that, "Your family is not rude! My husband had an ident at your construction site, and you onlypensated him with 10,000! That 10,000 wasn''t even enough to cover his previous sry! My brother-inw went to the Harold family to get an exnation, but they even broke his leg! He''s still in hospital, and you didn¡¯t even want to pay for his medical expenses, and they want to sue us! We don''t have a chance to live, and neither do you!" "If I were you, I would take up thew to protect myself, not go blindly into something stupid. Go to the man on the card, he will help you." Ruby fished out a business card from inside her pocket and handed it to the woman. The woman picked it up and looked at Ruby with some bewilderment. Ruby was not quite what she had imagined. Although her attitude was cold and even sneering at herself, she did not make a move or even hurt her. She saw sympathy from inside Ruby''s eyes. "It''s no big deal, Spencer has done something wrong, he will pay the price." Ruby left a sentence indifferently and turned to walk away. The car she had called had arrived and the driver had made two phone calls. Ruby walked away before she took out her mobile phone and called back. The woman stood stunned for a long time before she got into the car. The woman just tried to start the car, but found that the brakes hadpletely failed, and with a single kick, the car went forward like mad, hitting the roadside divider hard. Ruby, who had just walked out less than a hundred metres, heard a movement behind her, paused in her steps and turned to look at the car behind her, the front end of which was already smoking. She ran quickly back to the Audi that had crashed on the side of the road and strained to pull open the door and get the woman inside out of the car. Blood ...... The woman was covered in blood. That scene reminded her of when her mother had died. It was also like that, covered in blood. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. At the time she clutched her hand tightly and told her to take her brother and protect him. After that, her mother¡¯s eyes were closed forever. Ruby suppressed the emotions in her heart and quickly took out the silver needles she carried with her, sealing the woman''s major acupuncture points and temporarily stopping the bleeding. Yasmin Gray, who was now dying, looked at Ruby, who was saving her with no expression, and suddenly pulled a smile that was hard to read. Ruby grabbed her wrist and took her pulse. If she was not taken to the hospital immediately, this woman would surely die. This woman suddenly appeared here to attack her, someone must be behind it. Ruby''s face was cold as she led Yasmin into the Institute. Oscar watched her returned with a man covered in blood, and when he was about to speak, Ruby interrupted, "Prepare the operating room." After a five-hour-long operation, Ruby finally saved the woman. Yasmin opened her eyes and saw Ruby, and thought that Ruby had actually saved her life, she could not help but feel a sigh of relief. She looked at Ruby with guilt and spoke weakly, "It was a woman who told me that if I wanted to take revenge on Spencer, all I had to do was to kill you. As long as you die, Spencer will have nothing to rely on and he will definitely get hiseuppance. Miss Harold, I''m really sorry that I treated you like that, but you saved me." Ruby raised her eyebrows slightly, "A woman?" "Yeah, she looked quite young, but she was wearing sunsses and a mask. By the way, the clothes I saw her wearing should be brand name, so she should be very rich. "Yasmin nodded and answered seriously. Ruby was thoughtful and did not say anything. Yasmin recalled it seriously and suddenly spoke, "Right, there is a vermilion mole above her earlobe." Chapter 76 Ruby is not Dead? Chapter 76 Ruby is not Dead? Dr. Moore happened to walk to the door of the ward, and when he heard these words, he couldn''t help but pause in his steps and look at Yasmin. Ruby has a vague impression of that vermilion mole, too. "Miss Harold, this person might be someone familiar to you, she knew you were here and told me that you must have been the only one out, and as long as I ran you over, this ce was not monitored and no one would catch me." Yasmin still felt very guilty when she said that. Ruby collected the emotions under her eyes and looked up at Yasmin: "Take a good rest and don''t think too much." Yasmin nodded at her words. Ruby got up and when she turned around, she saw Dr. Moore, who was standing in the doorway with his movements frozen. She guessed Dr. Moore had heard all of Yasmin''s words. Ruby walked towards Dr. Moore, and the two of them left without speaking, one after the other. The door of the ward was closed and Ruby and Dr. Moore stepped aside. Dr. Moore''s old face was a bit agitated: "Ruby, I''m really sorry, I didn''t educate this child well. She grew up without parents, I was inevitably spoiled towards her, plus she has good natural talent, I had high hopes for her, but I didn''t expect that I taught her to do things but not to behave." "Stay out of it." Ruby raised her hand and patted Dr. Moore on the shoulder without saying much. She left the Institute straight away. It was almost time for lunch, so she pulled out her phone and typed in a string of codes, and a small red dot appeared on it. Ruby saw the location clearly and took a taxi directly there. First ss Imperial Court Restaurant. The lights inside the box were dim, and soft pure music was ying, romantic. Amelia had huge sunsses on her face, covering most of her face and also hiding the hideous p marks on her face. She kept her head down and ate quietly, asionally ncing up at Levi. Levi remained quiet, as if he did not notice Amelia''s gaze. Her mind was clear to Levi, and from the moment she entered, she was hinting at something, only Levi was deliberately ignoring it. "Levi." The beef steak in her mouth tasted like wax, and Amelia pursed her lips before she spoke quietly. Levi put down the chopsticks in his hands and looked up at her. "Levi, I... Let''s not see each other in the future." Amelia uttered these words with difficulty, her face full of aggression. Levi was a bit surprised that she suddenly mentioned this, thinking that she probably had something more to say, when he saw that Amelia had taken off her sunsses, revealing a red and swollen face. The marks on her face were obvious and clearly p marks. Levi''s eyebrows jumped and there was some anger hidden under his eyes, "Who did that?" "I''m sorry, Levi, it''s all my fault. I said the wrong thing and upset Ruby, she was right to hit me. I deserved it. I''ve thought it over, although we had sex five years ago, at that time you couldn''t help yourself, it doesn''t count at all, let''s, let''s just break up." Amelia said and covered her face again, crying in anguish. Levi¡¯s brow knitted up. Ruby did that? He had been in contact with Ruby for so long and knew her well. It would not be normal to say that she would hit Amelia for the sake of jealousy. Looking at the aggrieved look of Amelia, Levi''s eyes deepened. However, seeing that she mentioned things happened five years ago, he still couldn''t get over the hurdle in his heart. He sighed in her heart before she said, "Don''t cry, just don''t provoke her in the future." Amelia froze as she heard the words, not expecting Levi to say such words. He didn''t even think of trying to get justice for her? "Levi ......" Amelia tears kept falling down. She raised her head to look at Levi, just now crying is pretend, now she is really aggravated. How could Levi not help her? Luckily she had arranged it in advance, by now that bitch Ruby would probably be long dead! Otherwise, there was a real possibility that Levi would have been snatched away by her! The more she cried, the sadder she became. "Tut, those who didn''t know would think someone had died in your house." Just when Amelia was crying vigorously, a clear voice suddenly sounded behind her. The familiar voice caused Amelia to stiffen and look incredulously towards the door. Ruby? She''s actually not dead? Looking at the p marks on Amelia''s face, the corners of Ruby''s lips hooked. Stepping forward and standing in front of Amelia, without hesitation, she pped Amelia fiercely on the face. The snap was so fierce that Amelia was dazed. "Ruby, what have I done for you to do this to me? I knew Levi first, even if I like him, should that have any effect on you? You, how can you just hit me?" Ruby looked at the woman who was still pretending to be pitiful in front of her with a cold and stern gaze, seeing her crying, she was indeed quite pitiful. Unfortunately, she didn''t buy this at all. She took a few tissues from the table and carefully wiped her hands clean before throwing the tissues at Amelia''s face: "You know what you''ve done. Amelia, don''t mess with me again, I''m a person with a really bad temper." Ruby thought that maybe Amelia had been pretending to be a pure girl for so long over the years that she dared to offend anyone. Ruby dropped the harsh words and turned around and left. Amelia didn''t say anything, but sat there covering her face and crying. Levi was distracted by her crying. From what he knew about Ruby, he knew that she was not the kind of person who was unreasonable and would not run over and hit someone for no reason. Amelia must have done something, but just hid it from him. "I''ll take you home first." Seeing that Amelia refused to say anything, Levi did not go on to ask. Amelia opened her mouth to exin, but at this time, it was best if she didn''t say anything. Levi sent her back to the door of her house. Amelia wanted to say something, but finally covered her face and ran into the door, crying. Levi looked at her back thoughtfully and sent a message over to Jared, asking him to find out what had happened today. Halfway through the day, Jared''s phone call came, "Levi, is that Amelia having a brain problem? Some time ago there was an ident on the Harold family''s construction site, three workers fell from a height, two died on the spot, and another resuscitated for a few days ended up dying in the hospital." "The Harold Group is unwilling to take responsibility for the incident, saying that it was already off duty and the three workers did not fall during work, so it is not their responsibility. They will also be held This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. responsible. The families of those workers who were involved in the ident did not know thew and believed it and did not dare to make trouble. In the end, the Harold family paid them 10,000. ......" "Yasmin''s husband died and her brother-inw was crippled by the Harold family, and he is still in the hospital and owes the hospital money. Yasmin was given a sum of money to find trouble with Miss Harold by Amelia. Once Yasmin heard that Miss Harold was the firstdy of the Harold family, she believed it and went straight to the entrance of the institute to block Miss Harold. As a result, Miss Harold was not in trouble, but Yasmin almost died, and now she is inside the institute, saved by Miss Harold." "True?" Levi tapped his finger on the car window twice, his eyes cold and sharp. Chapter 77 Dont be so Heartless Chapter 77 Don''t be so Heartless "It''s true. This matter is big. The records of the transfer were not even cleared, so once we checked it out, we found it. Don¡¯t you believe me? Even if you don''t trust me, you should at least trust your own intelligence system." Jared sounded a bit smug. Levi was silent for a moment and hung up the phone. He really did not expect Ruby to hit Amelia because of this matter. The car drove all the way back to the Finn family, and only after it stopped did the driver speak up and remind him, "Mr. Levi, we''re home." Levi nodded and waited for the driver to get the wheelchair. As soon as he entered, he heard Hattie''sughter. When he looked over at the sound ofughter, he saw Hattie, Lennon and a young woman he didn''t know sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking to each other. He just gave it a faint nce and withdrew his gaze without much interest. When Hattie saw him return, her eyes nced behind him before she greeted him with a smile, "Levi, you''re back? Come on,e over here and have a chat. Amy is here, you haven''t seen each other for a long time, have you? Come over and have a catch." Levi looked at the woman again, not too impressed with that face and not interested in catching, he faintly refused, "No need." After saying this, he moved his wheelchair directly up to the first floor in the lift. Hattie''s face was somewhat tarnished and she grunted coldly. Amy Shaw nced in the direction of the first floor before she smiled and went to put her arm around Hattie: "Ma¡¯am, it''s normal for Levi to not remember me. It is gettingte, I''ll go back first, I''lle back to see you another day." "You have a good temper, Levi even chased you back then, who know what he is pretending?" Hattie scolded with a grim face. "Mom, it is in the past, now brother has a fianc¨¦e. If you tied to Amy to him, it''s not good for Amy''s influence if word gets out." Lennon nced in Amy''s direction, with a wild look in his eyes. Amy didn''t respond to his eyes, still speaking to Hattie in a gentle voice: "Ma¡¯am, Levi has never liked me, that''s all a rumour. I''ve just returned to H Country and there''s a lot going on at home, so I''ll go back first." "Lennon, you go and see Amy off." Hattie narrowed her eyes at Lennon, the hint in her eyes smelling strong. The Shaw family is one of the four major families in Sea City, and is considered a good match for the Finn family. As for that matter of Rita, as long as time goes by, those people will naturally forget all about it, and no one will remember that Lennon had an affair with her. ** In the private dining room, Ruby leanszily on a sofa with a few exquisite and delicious dim sums in front of her. "You''ve been emailed everything you asked for. But are you really going to send them to the newspaper? In that case, the Harold family would be finished, right? The Finn family will probably be implicated as well." Vincent came in from outside with a te of freshly baked turnip cakes and ced it in front of Ruby, asking curiously. Ruby took a piece of turnip cake and put it in her mouth, "Yasmin''s family can''t even get a full meal a day now because her husband died and her brother-inw was beaten and disabled, and there is a price to pay for doing something wrong." "Spencer could probably die of anger if he knew what you''ve done behind the scenes. With all the things that have happened to the Harold family recently, is he starting to think you''re better as a daughter?" Vincent couldn''t help but say as he sat down opposite Ruby and reached for the snacks on the te. Only before his hand could touch it, it was pped away by Ruby: "Mine." "Petty." Vincent spat, thinking for a moment before asking her again, "Levi ......" "I asked you to check him out, it''s been a month and you can''t find anything out, and you still im to be good at digging information, shame on you." Rubyughed coldly and did not hesitate to mock at him. Vincent touched his nose, "This man is not simple, he has some connections with District 7, I can''t N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. even hack into the public security system to find out clues about him, only superficial information, do you think this man is powerful?" Ruby thought for a moment, thinking about all the oddities of Levi, and the fact that Jared was not a simple person either, and she sort of believed Vincent''s words. After she had eaten her snack, she took out the notebook she had brought with her, packed up the information that Vincent had sent her and sent out two emails. One was sent to the Sea City Daily News and the other was packaged for the Sea City Public Security Bureau. Only after she had finished, Ruby stood up, stuffed herputer into her bag, and left without even looking at Vincent, patting her buttocks. "Don''t be so heartless." Vincent subconsciouslymented, when he got up but saw an envelope pressed on the table, he casually picked it up and opened it, a line was written on it in a pale and powerful font. "Great evil, unfavourable to the southwest, no movement for a month, hold fast to Sea City." Looking at that line, Vincent''s face changed and subconsciously wanted to chase out and ask Ruby what she meant. Unfortunately, before he could make a move, the mobile phone tucked in his pocket rang. Vincent nced at the caller and, without thinking much about it, answered the phone. "Vincent, your grandmother is dying, you have toe back at once!" The call was answered, and before Vincent could speak, a cold, stern, irresistible voice came from the other end. Vincent pursed his lips and his gaze fell on the note Ruby left behind. The words are distinctly clear. The person on the other end seemed to have expected him to refuse, and added coolly, "If you don''t think about yourself, at least think about Sunny Watson." With that, he blocked out Vincent''s words of refusal. And when he got an affirmative reply, he simply hung up the phone. Vincent squeezed his phone for a long time before he hooked his lips mockingly. He gave a few instructions to the manager of the shop and left by the back alley in fear of going out and meeting Ruby. ** Capital City, Watson family. After Watson hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain before he looked at Old Lady Watson who was sitting at the side with a scowl on her face, "Mom, Vincent will arrive home today, and when hees back, I will definitely force him to reveal the contact information of that miracle doctor. As long as she helps you, your will definitely be fine." Old Lady Watson coldly grunted: "Instead of bringing back such a good medicine to pay respect to me, he actually put it up for auction! We should take back his properties before it''s toote! It would be best if that doctor could be brought into our camp, but if not, hmph!" Although Old Lady Watson did not make her words very clear, the meaning was obvious: if she could not be used for me, then she would be destroyed and not allowed to fall into the hands of others. "I know." Dillon nodded solemnly, a murderous look already rising in his eyes. Chapter 78 Spencer Panics Chapter 78 Spencer Panics Spencer''s phone call arrived just as Ruby came out of the private restaurant. She looked down at the string of numbers jumping on the screen for a long time before answering the phone. "Ruby, you must help me, you must help me." Spencer''s panicked voice came through the phone. The matter of tax evasion by the Harold Group was poked out by someone unknown. And these years Spencer business is not clean, stepped on a lot of lines, now someone pursued, if not handled properly, the Harold Group will be finished. "Dad, take it easy, speak slowly, what happened?" Ruby''s eyes deepened as she soothed Spencer''s emotions while walking outside. "You go home right now, yes, make sure you bring Levi back with you, only he can help us now, make sure you bring him!" Spencer returned incoherently and hung up the phone in a hurry. When she arrived at the intersection, there was already a car waiting, so Ruby pulled open the door and got into the car. "Go to the Harold¡¯s." Ruby leaned back, thought about it, and sent a message to Levi. The car stopped when it arrived at the Harold''s door. There was a lot of rubbish hanging on the big iron gate in front of the house and a pile of rotten leaves and rotten eggs on the ground, so it looked like someone hade in and made a mess. Ruby waited at the door for a while before the door opened, she lifted her foot to go in, the butler looked like he was going to cry and told her the situation: "A group of people came during the day, saying they were the families of workers who had idents at the construction site before ......" Ruby nodded at his words, and just as she entered, Spencer hurriedly greeted her, subconsciously ncing behind her, but unfortunately, she didn''t see Levi. His face changed before he questioned Ruby with a sober face, "Howe you''re the only one who This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. came back? Where is Levi? Howe he didn''te with you? Didn''t I tell you to get on good terms with him and make sure to please him? Now that something has happened to our family, why are you ......" "Dad, what''s going on? Is it true what the butler said? The workers at the site had an ident and you didn''t paypensation to them and even injured the family members who came to im Spencer''s face look pale, and when he heard Ruby say this, he was even more anxious to defend himself: "Those people are insatiable! After the ident, I had already paid thepensation for the work injury, but they are still asking for more money! Don''t believe those people out there who are talking nonsense! Also, if Levi asks you about this, you must be sure that we have already paid the Ruby raised her eyebrows slightly at his words, looking at Spencer''s indignant look, those who didn''t know would have thought he was telling the truth. "Also, someone actually ndered us for tax evasion! We are goodw-abiding citizens, how could we possibly do such a thing?" The more Spencer spoke, the angrier he became, and his spit almost sprayed Ruby''s face. "Ruby, you must help me, you are the only one who can help me." Spencer scolded for a while and grabbed Ruby''s hand again. He is now the only one left in the Harold family, and since thest scandal came out, Rita has not been home for days. Susan was in the mental hospital, Spencer only found that at this time who he can rely on actually was Ruby, who he disliked at first. "Dad, don''t worry, I won''t let the Harold Group go bankrupt." Ruby patted his hand, the corners of her lips hooked. By now Levi had arrived, with the butler leading him in at the front. The man wore a golden mask and exuded a chill, clearly sitting in a wheelchair and not threatening in any way, but inexplicably a chilling sensation. Spencer swallowed hard, not even daring to look at Levi. "Levi, you''re here." Ruby put a bright smile on her face and got up to push the wheelchair. Hearing that voice of hers, Levi couldn''t help but nce at her, the corners of his mouth twitching vaguely before he spoke, "What do you want from me?" "You help the Harold family." Ruby nodded and winked desperately at Levi. Levi pretended not to see it, seeing Spencer looking at him with expectation at this time, he was silent for a moment before saying, "The Harold family must push someone out to take the me this time, otherwise there is no way to ount for this matter, as for who should take the me, let Mr. Harold think it over himself." "Well ......" Spencer was confused and didn''t react for a moment. Ruby was surprised that Levi was really helping Spencer. "There''s an auctionter, you apany me there." Levi did not look at Spencer again, but only looked at Ruby. Ruby had no desire to stay in the Harold family. Seeing that Spencer was deep in thought, she went over to say a few kind words, but Spencer had things on his mind and didn''t bother to pay attention to her, so he let her apany Levi to go away. The two men went out the door together and got into the car. Ruby supported her chin with one hand and twisted her head to look at Levi, the mask on the man''s face was really an eyesore, making it impossible for her to see his expression clearly, there was a moment of silence before she asked her doubts, "Why do you want to help Spencer?" "Who do you think Spencer will push out to take the me?" Levi asked instead of answering, turning his head sideways to look at Ruby. Ruby pondered seriously for a moment. ording to her knowledge of Spencer, Spencer is the most selfish person, and since Levi gave the way, he wanted to keep his own glory and wealth, and he was willing to sacrifice anyone. There are no more than three people who can be pushed out of the Harold family by him. Rita is now tied to Lennon and there is no way he will move her. And she was Levi''s person, even if Levi was a wreck, Spencer would not haveid his hand on her at this time. Then it''s just Susan. The corners of Ruby''s lips curled up in a smile that grew more and more yful. The car left the Harold¡¯s and Ruby didn''t ask if it was true that Levi had gone to the auction, she hadn''t rested wellst night and was very tired at the moment, so she simply leaned back in her chair and slept to recover her spirit. Levi saw her sleeping and didn''t say anything. An hour and a halfter, the car stopped at an estate, and there were already quite a few cars parked in the open car park outside. Seeing that Ruby was still sleeping, Levi didn''t bother to call her, but just sat aside and waited quietly. Ruby was not asleep either and opened her eyes when she noticed that the car was not moving on. Looking outside, she raised her eyebrows in some surprise. She did not expect that the auction that Levi said was actually this auction. Ruby hesitated for a moment and followed him blindly. Chapter 79 The Marrow Cleansing Pill Chapter 79 The Marrow Cleansing Pill The two entered one after the other, and once inside was a spacious hall with a number of disy cases containing antiques of great value. Levi seemed uninterested in all this and went straight across the hall to the inside. Ruby did take a few more looks before following Levi inside. With nearly an hour to go before the start of the auction, a number of people had alreadye by the time they arrived. Levi''s position was in the front row, and Ruby followed him there, receiving a lot of attention along the way. "Among the things I heard about being auctioned today is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which I heard people say is particrly effective in enabling people to live a long life after taking it." "I also heard about the one that appeared two years ago. I heard that the buyer, who was terminally ill, was not only cured of all his illnesses after taking it, but also became more than ten years younger!" "I''ve heard that it''s like an immortal elixir, that you can''t get sick after eating it." ...... There were quite a few people in the venue, and several people were talking to each other, not too loudly or too quietly, just enough for Ruby to hear. Listening to what they said, the corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched, very speechless at these rumours. The Marrow Cleansing Pill only has a little bit of body strengthening function, which is not as exaggerated as they say. "You came to the auction today also for the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Ruby thought of something and went over to ask Levi. The woman leaned in close, her breath teasing the side of his face, and Levi coughed before nodding, "Yes." Ruby was silent and looked deeply at Levi, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn''t say a word. Forget it, she can''t spoil it for Vincent. Those who came to the auction entered one by one and soon filled the room, and it was time for the auction to begin. A young woman in a red cheongsam stepped onto the auction stage with a seductive smile on her face, "Wee to today''s auction, without further ado, we will now proceed to auction the first lot of the day -" At the sound of her voice, someone soon came up with a tray, covered with a red cloth, so it was not clear what it actually contained. The host went forward to lift the red cloth, revealing the true face of the item inside: "This is the crown of the Queen of Y Country. The starting price is five million, with each increase of five hundred thousand, and now the auction begins -" The corners of Ruby''s mouth twitched vaguely as she looked at the red diamond-studded crown. The people below have already started to raise their bids. The crown is made of solid gold and is set with thousands of diamonds of varying sizes, especially the seven rubies in the centre, which are worth a great deal of money. "Fifty million." Ruby wasmenting the greatness of Vincent''s skills when she heard the clear, breezy voice of the man beside her ring out. She looked over with some surprise, not expecting that Levi would actually be interested in this. In the end there was no doubt that Levi paid 50 million for the Queen''s crown. Ruby has attended many such auctions abroad, and most of the things that appear in this auction are ordinary, not many of them can interest her. She propped her chin on one hand and looked a little drowsy. At this moment, that nice voice of the host rang out in her ears again, "This next item may not be of much interest to many people, as it is a very precious herb, the seven-leaf lotus." Ruby, who was originally drowsy, abruptly straightened up when she heard the three words Seven Leaf Lotus, and her eyes gazed towards the auction stage. On a delicate silver tray lies quietly a nt with its roots intact, a bare pole beneath, without a single N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. leaf, and a flower at the top with seven leaves glowing with a luminous white light, which you can tell by looking at it is no ordinary product. Ruby really didn''t expect toe across such a superb herb as the Seven Leaf Lotus here. She had been looking for the Seven Leaf Lotus for a long time before, but there hadn''t been any news, and today it actually appeared here. Levi watched Ruby''s expression change and his gaze went back to the medicine on the stage, a look of understanding in his eyes. The news that the seven-leaf lotus was to be auctioned was deliberately announced, and at this point many people were looking at that one lotus with excitement on their faces. "This seven-leaf lotus is a temporary addition, the seller does not want money and wants to barter, in a moment guests who want to buy the seven-leaf lotus can enter the name of the item they want to bring to trade on the tablet at hand, if the seller sees it and is willing to trade, he will tell us." The host looked at the people with a smile, and after giving a general overview of the rules, she didn''t say anything else. Ruby stroked her chin, pondering. Such a superb medicinal herb as the seven-leaf lotus was not something that ordinary people could possess, and the other party must have known the value of the seven-leaf lotus, and was still willing to take it out for trade in such a situation, so he thought that he had encountered something. After thinking about it for a while, Ruby picked up the tablet ced at her hand, wrote a line on it and tapped OK. Levi didn''t read what she had written, there was no longer any trace of it on the tablet. He unexpectedly gave Ruby a nce, not expecting Ruby''sputer skills seemed to be quite good. Those who wanted the seven-leaf lotus had already given out the most precious things they could get their hands on, and a voice came from inside the host''s headset. She nced at Ruby, turned around and went backstage for a full five minutes before returning to the stage again. "Congrattions to this friend number seven, the owner of the Seven Leaf Lotus invites you toe backstage for a chat." The host looked at Ruby in a very respectful manner. Ruby nodded, and a waiter had already walked over and led her backstage. The auction continued, except that many people were a little distracted, prying into Ruby''s identity, especially the few old men sitting at the back, looking at Ruby''s back with faces full of excitement and thrill. Ruby followed the waiter to the backstage, where only a pale man, wearing ck clothes, was sitting inside, covering his mouth and coughing hard when Ruby entered. Ruby knew from just one nce that this man''s life would not be long. "Are you serious?" The man coughed for a while, an unhealthy flush rising to his pale face before he looked up at Ruby. When Ruby saw his features, she was stunned and did not react for a while. This face actually resembles the deceased Nellie at some points! Ruby could not help but look at him, her brow furrowed. "You, why don''t you answer me?" The man didn''t wait for Ruby''s response and coughed violently again. The sound of coughing pulled Ruby back to her attention. She stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the man¡¯s wrist, took his pulse, and her face grew more and more grave. He had disease since he was born, plus he had not been well-treated and had been poisoned, so his internal organs were severely damaged and he had at most one month to live. "Sure. Seven-leaf lotus for your life. I can cure your illness." Chapter 80 Patrick Mccarthy Chapter 80 Patrick arthy "Ahem, what did you say!?" The man looked at Ruby with some surprise. He had been ill for many years, and so many doctors in the country had seen him, both Chinese and Western, and all said that his illness was hopeless and that he would not live to be twenty-five at the most. It''s just that his health has been deteriorating over the past few years and when he went to the hospital some time ago, he had just been given the go-ahead that he would die in six months at the most. Now this girl in front of him, looking at most in her early twenties, she says she can save him? Patrick arthy pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling ridiculous. He had actually believed Ruby''s words. "Yes, I mean it. Since you agreed to trade the Seven Leaf Lotus to me, you should have believed me." Ruby nodded very seriously. "My illness ......" "Your illness was given since you were born, if I''m not mistaken, you were born with a weak body, plus you were poisoned at ater stage, which injured your lungs, and you haven''t been properly tended to. Now the toxin in your body has invaded your heart chakra. If you have seen a Chinese medicine doctor, they should have told you that when the poison enters the heart chakra, it is difficult for the immortals to save you, right?" Ruby interrupted him directly and spoke with conviction. Patrick looked much more cautious at his words. Ruby took a pulse and gave a full ount of his situation, so it was clear that she was indeed a person of ability. He put away the doubt in his heart and nodded seriously, "You are right, this is what the president of the Chinese Medicine Association said to me personally, he is a titan of Chinese medicine in H Country, he would lie to me." "He didn''t lie to you, but you meet me now. If I say I can save you, I can save you. If you don''t believe me, there''s no need to give me the Seven Leaf Lotus." Ruby smiled as she curled her lips, but the words that came out were half-hearted. Patrick pondered for a moment, his life was only six months away anyway, if he could be cured, it would naturally be best, if not, it was still fate. Looking at Ruby''s confident look, for some reason, he always felt at ease. After just a little thought, he came to a decision: "I''ll be grateful to you for my illness." "No worries. I need some herbs, so when the herbs are found,e to me." Ruby had a good feeling Material ? N?velDrama.Org. about Patrick. After asking for a pen and paper and writing down the herbs needed, and leaving her contact details, Ruby excused herself and went out. After the seven-leaf lotus, there was quite a lot more to follow, and the atmosphere outside the auction continued to be lively. After Ruby went out, many people''s eyes fell on her. The seven-leaf lotus, a legendary sacred medicine, is said to have the effect of prolonging life when used in medicine, and there is even a rumour that using the seven-leaf lotus crushed on the face will make the skin look at least twenty years younger. Unfortunately, the seven-leaf lotus is extremely rare and has only ever been heard of in rumours, so today is the first time they have seen it. Ruby returned to sit down beside Levi and watched the auction behind her somewhat carelessly. The marrow cleansing pill was ced second tost, which was considered the grand finale of the day. Most of the people who came were there for it, and a round of fierce bidding began just as the item came up. Ruby looks on with ack of interest. In fact, the marrow cleansing pill was only the most basic and low-level pill in the elixir left behind by her Grandfather, but unfortunately many of the herbs could not be found nowadays, so it was really difficult to make a more advanced pill. Having obtained the seven-leaf lotus today, she was able to try out the advanced pills. "Let''s go, there''s nothing more to see." Before thest item in the auction came up, Levi had already lost interest, reaching out to pull Ruby, getting up and walking out first himself. Ruby was not interested in watching any further and got up to follow Levi out. Only when they reached the door, the host''s voice came from the stage: "Thisst item is a very special instrument, which can be said to be beyond our current level of technology, this weapon should have a very high research value, so the price is also rtively high. The reserve price is 50 million, each time the price is increased by 5 million, now the bidding starts --" Ruby heard the words and turned around sharply, looking at the instrument on the stage. It doesn''t look like anything special, but Ruby feels a pang just looking at it. Levi frowned and followed suit, twisting his head to look at the instrument on the stage, his face a little gloomy. How dare they openly auction such things? Levi watched for a while before withdrawing his gaze and exiting the auction hall with an expressionless face. When they came out of the auction hall, the heat outside was overwhelming and there were many more vendors on both sides of the adjoining street, hawking their wares. There were many things ced on the stalls, all kinds of herbs, jade and antiques, both real and fake, and it was the time to see what they good at. Levi was in a bad mood and walked quickly, Ruby followed behind, ncing at the herbs for sale on the ground, nothing special, they were all ordinary herbs. She looked at them for a few moments and then withdrew her gaze, losing interest. By the time she left the underground ck market, Ruby still had a surreal feeling, not realizing that there was still such a ce hidden here. Levi was on his phone, Ruby was far away and could not hear it, but he looked serious towards the ck market from time to time. Ruby guessed it was about the instrument. But it should be under control and was not allowed to trade. The owner of the ck market had the audacity to take out such things and trade them openly. He was still not looking good after hanging up the phone. Ruby stepped forward, but he didn''t say anything, he just pulled open the car door and got into the car. Ruby followed in the car. The two men didn''t talk either, but after getting into the car, they left the underground ck market. On the way, Patrick sent a message to tell Ruby that he had found all the medicine and would be able toe to Sea City tomorrow. Several of these herbs are scarce and cannot even be found on the market. Ruby originally thought it would take ten days or a half months to find them, but she never expected that Patrick would have such a wide range of channels and be able to find all the herbs in such a short time. She was curious about Patrick''s identity. This man looked so simr to Nellie, so maybe there was some connection. Ruby replied and sent another address over, made an appointment for tomorrow''s treatment, before she turned off her phone. The car drove straight into Shangcheng International, and Levi got off when he arrived at the ce, without speaking to Ruby. Ruby didn''t mind, getting out of the car and walking slowly behind Levi. Levi got two calls, but she didn''t know what he said, but she knew that after the calls, his aura became more and more condensed andpelling, and inside the lift Ruby felt a sense of oppression. "Levi ......" When the lift reached the eighteenth floor, Ruby wanted to say thank you to Levi, but he entered the door directly and closed the door. Ruby looked at the closed door in front of her and touched her nose before entering her house. Chapter 81 Someone Enquiring About Nellie Chapter 81 Someone Enquiring About Nellie Ruby came in the door and a call came from her assistant Dottie. She sat down casually on the sofa and picked up the video call. Dottie''s stern face appeared on the phone screen. Dottie is now in charge of matters rted to theboratory in F Country. She also manages several Thepany is doing well now, and its current foray into H Country is well organized, so there is nothing for her to worry about. After Dottie had reported on the work, she paused for a moment before speaking with a stern face about something else: "Chairman, three days ago someone was checking the information on your mother and grandmother." "What?" Ruby''s expression, which was still careless, instantly became serious as she sat up straight and looked fixedly at Dottie in the phone screen, waiting for her to continue. "We backtracked through and were spotted and intercepted by the other side, without tracking down exactly which side was investigating them." "I know, leave this matter to me." Ruby took this matter very seriously. Nellie has been dead for almost ten years, at this time someone actually came to investigate her, it must be something wrong. Her grandmother would be normal to be investigated because of her. She was silent for a moment before suddenly asking Dottie, "Send me a copy of my grandmother''s information, and my mother''s as well." Dottie didn''t ask much and agreed, and after a few casual conversations, the two hung up. In less than 10 minutes, Dottie''s information was emailed to Ruby. Her brow furrowed was she read it. The profile of the two men is so simple that it is as if someone has deliberately erased something of their past. Ruby looked at her grandmother''s information in thought, especially the name - Joanna Hussain, she instinctively thought of Ashley Hussain she had met in Dr. Moore''s research institute, also surnamed Yuan. Nellie''s information even made Ruby frown. It only contained her biography, when she was born, when she went to school and which school she went to, but nothing else. After reading the two people''s information, Ruby sent another message to Dottie and learned that this was the most detailed information they could investigate, before wrinkling her brows and looking at Nellie''s one-inch photo on theputer screen. Imperial Sea Hotel, Penthouse Presidential Suite. Patrick covered his mouth and coughed for a while, an unhealthy flush surfaced on his pale face, and only after the coughing subsided did he look at the person in front of him, "Didn''t you find out?" "No, we investigated the olddy and the youngdy of the Grant family. The youngdy of the Grant family died in an ident eight years ago, leaving behind a daughter, the olddy left H Country for F Country five years ago and has not returned, the information we found shows that the olddy has been in poor health and is now convalescing in F Country. Other than that there is no useful information." The man who answered was in his early forties, with a straight face and an upright look. Patrick was silent for a moment before nodding thoughtfully, "It''s not surprising that we can''t find out, since the trail is broken here, there''s no need to continue investigating, you can go back." "Yes." The man agreed and added at the end, "By the way, when we were investigating their information, we were backtracked, so we can''t rule out that someone is deliberately withholding certain information about them." Patrick was slightly surprised, but it onlysted for a few seconds before he lost interest: "Nellie was the only person who knew about what happened back then, since she has passed away, there is no need to continue investigating this matter. Go back to the capital. Tell father that we can''t find out any clues about mother." "Okay." After the middle-aged man left, Patrick sat on the sofa for a while, dazed, and Ruby''s delicate face came to his mind, he subconsciously touched his face, and then let out a bitter smile. Ruby and Patrick had an appointment for a treatment at 10am the next morning at Shangcheng International. Ruby heard the doorbell and opened the door at 9am. When she saw the man standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment before giving way to let him in. Before Patrick could enter, the door of Levi opened next door. His face was reced with a silver mask today, blocking half of his face, and his body exuded low pressure, so it was clear that he was still not in a good mood. Ruby looked up only once before withdrawing her gaze and leading Patrick into the door, closing it behind her. Levi frowned, having just swept a nce at Patrick, he vaguely felt some familiarity. Looking at the closed door, he stood in the doorway for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze and heading out the door at a brisk pace. There was a problem in District 7, and when he went to check the ck marketst night, several of his men received very serious injuries and their lives were now in danger, so he had to get there as soon as possible to deal with it. After taking Patrick in, Ruby poured water for him. Patrick had already given all the prepared herbs to Ruby. Ruby was a little surprised when she nced at them, not expecting that the herbs were not only fine, but the vintage was much higher than even she had expected. "Your family specializes in growing and selling medicinal herbs?" Ruby asked subconsciously. Patrick smiled warmly and didn''t hide: "Yes, my ancestors were imperial doctors at the pce, but the by selling herbs." Ruby thought about the information she had researched and was silent for a while before nodding as if Material ? N?velDrama.Org. nothing had happened and carrying the medicine into the kitchen. She had not yet had the time to set up her ownboratory after her return to H Country and did not have the necessary tools to make medicine, so she simply used a pressure cooker to do so. Fortunately, the results were good. She went in and carefully processed the herbs, then put them in a pot, turned on the heat and began to simmer slowly before turning around anding out again to check Patrick''s body. "What did you eat yesterday!?" Ruby sensed that something was wrong as soon as she felt his pulse, the toxin in this person''s body was much more active than yesterday, it should be because he had just ingested a new toxin yesterday and stimted the poison in his body. When Patrick saw her gloomy face, he didn''t hide it and gave a full ount of what he had eaten since he left the ck market yesterday. "During the treatment, don''t take any more medicine except the one I give you. For food and drink ...... there is a private restaurant in an alley in the west of city which has good medicinal food, you can go there to eat." Ruby was silent for a long time, unable to tell for a while what had gone wrong, and could only give the advice kindly. Patrick nodded in response. Ruby turned around and went back to get the silver needles out. The process of applying the needles could not be disturbed, and as Patrick''s case was a bit of a problem, the treatment had to be done more carefully. Ruby told him to take off his clothes and lie down. Patrick was slightly embarrassed, but looking at Ruby''s serious face, without any thoughts, he cursed himself for thinking too much, so he obediently took off his clothes andy down on the bed. Ruby pondered where to ce the needle and did not notice that he was out of ce, and when her eyes fell on him, her expression changed slightly again. This man actually had a plum-shaped birthmark on his chest identical to her own. Chapter 82 Enquiries Chapter 82 Enquiries "Is there something wrong?" Seeing that Ruby was hesitant to make a move, Patrick''s originally closed eyes opened and looked at her suspiciously. Ruby returned to her senses, collected the thoughts in her mind, twirled the silver needle in her hand, found the right ce to ce the needle, and quickly ced it. The whole procedurested for two hours and after the needles were applied, Ruby was covered in sweat. Ruby looked at the plum blossom birthmark for a long time before pulling the quilt to cover him up and taking the mobile phone out to make a call. "Ruby, why do you have time to call Grandma?" On the other end of the phone, Grandma''s old voice came through, with a very obvious joy within her tone. "Grandma, the plum blossom birthmark on my body," As Ruby had just started to ask about the birthmark, she was interrupted by her grandmother. "Oh, the plum blossom birthmark, that is the heritage of our family, as long as it is the bloodline of the Grant family, there will be on their bodies. You have it on your body, your mother also has it on her body, what''s wrong?" Grandma was in good spirits when she talked about the old days, and only after a pause did she add, "When our family reaches this generation, there is only your grandfather''s line left. Your grandfather and I have only one child, and your mother only has one child, so when you have a child, it will have plum blossom birthmark too." "Is it? Is there something special about this plum blossom birthmark? Only the bloodline of the Grant family has it?" Ruby had not heard her grandmother mention these things in the past. Since Nellie and Grandpa passed away, Grandma would rarely talk about these things. "That''s a sign of the Grant family¡¯s bloodline, only a strong bloodline will result in the plum blossom birthmark. Why are you suddenly asking about it? Is there something wrong with the plum blossom birthmark on your body?" Grandma exined before she became a little worried. "It''s nothing, Grandma, I was just asking casually. I seem to have seen other people with plum blossom birthmarks." Ruby said perfunctorily. "That''s impossible, it''s not possible, there won''t be anyone else with this birthmark on them." Her grandmother rejected Ruby very firmly. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Ruby did not exin too much, and after a few words of concern for the olddy''s health, she hung up the phone. When she entered again, Patrick was awake and his face looked much better than before. Seeing Ruby enter, he smiled at her and sat up from the bed, "I feel much better in spirit than before, thank you." "It''s just a trade of equals, you give me what I need and I''ll cure you." Ruby put the phone away and replied. Originally she wanted to ask him about the birthmark, but she didn''t for feeing it was impropriate. "When is the next treatment time?" When Patrick saw Ruby said this, he didn''t say anything else. "Come back here after a week. I will give you a prescription, take three meals a day ording to the prescription, and I will adjust the prescription after a week ording to your health condition. Remember what I reminded you before, don''t eat indiscriminately." Ruby said, walked over and took a pen and paper to write down the prescription and handed it to Patrick. Patrick picked it up. Ruby''s writing was pale, strong and wantonly scribbled, nothing like her well- behaved appearance. He put the prescription away before nodding, "Okay, go to the private restaurant in the west of the city, I know." After exining what should be exined, Ruby sent Patrick out. ** District 7, Levi''s face was gloomy, Chester lowered his head, his face full of guilt: "I''m sorry Lev, it''s me who didn''t protect my men, they ......" The injuries of these men were very serious to the core, and even with the excellent medical equipment here in District 7, they still could not be saved. "Go and collect your own punishment." After dropping a faint sentence, Levi went to check on the condition of a few of his most seriously injured brothers. "Levi, they have injured their lifeblood, I really have no choice, but if Miss Haroldes, she might be able to save them." Jared''s eyes were ruddy, he was always neat and tidy, but at this moment he looked unkempt and bearded, obviously he hadn''t closed his eyes for a day and a night. "What?" Levi narrowed his eyes at him. Jared stoop up and his body shook before he managed to stand firmly, ¡°Last time her brother was hurt so badly, she healed him with a simple note. Levi, I take back what I said before, your fiancee is really extraordinary. For her medical skills, I reckon only the ancient doctors inside the few ancient families of the Chinese hermitage have this level. " "Levi, I''m afraid it won''tst for a few hours." A few of the other doctors had stopped by now, their faces full of exhaustion. Levi''s heart couldn''t help but sink. Every single person in District 7 was trained by him personally and the bond was extraordinary. He thought that investigating an underground ck market would be an easy job, but he never thought that so many people would fall down. All seven people lying here could die. "I know." Levi closed his eyes and collected all the emotions under his eyes before he took his mobile phone to call Ruby. When Ruby received the call from Levi, she happened to be checking Patrick''s profile. The phone came in and she picked it up straight away and put it on the table on speakerphone, "Mr. Fiance, what can I do for you?" "I need your help, I have a few people here who are very badly injured and may be dying soon." Levi''s voice was low. "I ......" Ruby frowned and sat up straight, holding the phone in her hand. "Don''t be in a hurry to reject me, as long as you promise to save them, I can agree you with everything." Levi interrupted Ruby''s words. Ruby had no intention of refusing, so when she heard him say this, her mind changed and she simply agreed. After asking for the address, Ruby went straight out the door. District 7 is a military priority area, where foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter. Ruby took a taxi to the vicinity and saw Chester waiting there. "Miss Harold." When Chester saw Ruby again, his expression was somewhatplicated. Last time when Ruby was here, he looked down on Ruby and even gave a report to Amelia, now he felt ashamed when he thought about it. Ruby nodded and gestured for him to lead the way, following behind the man into the mountain. "Miss Harold, quick, there''s a man who can''t hold on much longer and is about to die." Ruby and Chester were only halfway, they encountered Jared, who had hurriedly run out. As the two men rushed into the infirmary, all they heard was a voice with a deep paining through, "Levi, he is dead." When Jared heard these words, he was dumbfounded, and his body, which hadsted all day and all night, finally could not hold on and swayed a little before falling onto the ground. Ruby raised her hand to help him, and Chester came over to support him too. Ruby lifted her feet and walked over, ncing at the man who had just died, and was silent for a moment before speaking indifferently, "There is still a breath." Chapter 83 Changes in the Plum Blossom Birthmark Chapter 83 Changes in the Plum Blossom Birthmark "What! He''s dead, there''s no way that could be wrong, what do you mean by that? Is it because you think I misjudged?" Ruby''s words caused the doctor standing by the side to turn pale, feeling that his professionalism was being questioned. Ruby ignored him and fished out her own needle bag from inside her pocket, quickly ripped the clothes off the man on the hospital bed, drew out three silver needles and quickly stuck them in the location of his heart. "What are you doing! You still won''t let him go even though he''s dead?" Seeing Ruby''s action, that doctor''s eyes turned red and he reached out toe and pull Ruby. "That''s enough! David, let her try!" Levi grimaced coldly and bellowed. David was very reluctant to hear this and stood there with red eyes, but he did not continue to make a move against Ruby, he just strained his neck and spoke to Levi: "Levi, maybe her medical skills are really good, but the man is already dead, can''t we just let him rest in peace?" "I trust her." Levi looked at Ruby who was applying the needle with a sullen face, and only gave a faint exnation. David turned his face away, unable to bear to continue watching. One silver needle after another in Ruby''s hand, her forehead gradually broke out in cold sweat, and her face paled. When all one hundred and eight silver needles had used, she breathed a sigh of relief and fiddled her fingers quickly at the end of the needles, quickly withdrawing them a momentter. The whole set of movements was smooth and very pleasing to the eye, but Ruby was sweating and her clothes were all soaked with sweat. When the collection of stitches was over, her legs went weak and she almost lost her footing. At this moment, it was as if fire had been scalded at the chest, a sharp and fiery stinging sensation came out, Ruby frowned, feeling very ufortable. The man in the hospital bed, who had been out of breath for a long time, suddenly let out a startling cough and then jerked his eyes open. Everyone in the room was stunned, especially David, who had just questioned Ruby, whose face was very odd at this moment, surprised and embarrassed at the same time. He took a nce at Ruby, only to see her had a pale face, standing there with her brow furrowed, seemingly in great distress. "You... I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have questioned you." David opened his mouth and finally apologized with a red face. "Are the other patients still able to hold on?" Ruby was now in a very bad state, the burning sensation at her chest had not subsided, but had be stronger and stronger, she only felt a surge of Qi leaping around her body in a haphazard manner, causing her Qi and blood to surge and she almost couldn''t hold back a mouthful of blood from spurting out. In this state now, it is impossible to administer needles to save lives. "Two hours at most." Jared, who had recovered some of his spirit by now, answered Ruby''s question in ce of David. "Okay, give me a room." Ruby nodded, her breath hot. "Follow me." Levi nced at Ruby, she was sweating and her clothes were soaking wet and sticking to her body, outlining her figure, making it more and more hot and sexy. Levi opened his mouth with a sullen face, and then turned straight away and walked out. Looking at his attitude, Ruby rolled her eyes and followed him anyway. Levi had his own exclusive lounge here. When he led Ruby to the room, before he could say a word, Ruby had already gone in and locked the door behind him. The corner of his mouth twitched as he stood in the doorway after touching his nose. After Ruby entered the door, she sat down weakly on the floor, pulled off her clothes and looked down at the plum blossom birthmark on her chest. The plum blossom birthmark was at this moment red, more vivid than ever, as if it was on fire, looking very eerie. This plum blossom birthmark on Ruby''s chest, originally half-opened, was now in full bloom. She didn''t know if it was an illusion, but Ruby even smelled a faint scent of plum blossoms in the air. Her brow furrowed as she wondered what had happened and why the plum blossom birthmark had suddenly changed in such a way. She knew too little about this birthmark, and only had a few words from her grandmother who had recently mentioned it. At this time it had suddenly changed, and Ruby really could not understand what it was because of. She sat on the floor for a long time, her body felt as if it was on fire, a wave of heat ran through her body and took a long time to settle down. Ruby was soaked to the skin, as if she had been fished out of the water. A knock sounded outside the door, and Levi''s voice followed in, "Ruby? What''s wrong with you?" Ruby closed her eyes and rested for a while before she felt much morefortable. She stood up, holding the wall, and opened the door. He was about to knock again, but the door was opened and a faint scent of plum blossoms came to his nose, a familiar smell awakening his memories of years. He didn''t know if it was an illusion or not, but at this moment, Ruby''s skin seemed more and more delicate and lustrous than earlier, and her body looked as if it would glow. "I''m fine, but can you please find me a clean outfit?" Ruby was still weak, reaching out to hold the wall, looking at Levi, then down at her own clothes, and speaking softly. It was only when Levi heard her voice that he withdrew his gaze, the tips of his ears faintly flushed. He coughed to hide his embarrassment just now, "Well, I''ll let them get ready." There were female soldiers in District 7 who soon brought over a clean suit of clothes. After Ruby cleaned and changed, she finally felt alive. Coming out of Levi''s lounge, Ruby didn''t notice the change in Levi''s eyes and spoke directly, "Let''s go see those injured people." Several people were not lightly wounded, and their injuries were fatal, and it was a miracle that they had managed to hold on until now without dying. Jared and David were by now sitting on the ground in exhaustion, breathless. Ruby went over and looked at their injuries, took out the silver needles and started to apply them. She hadn''t noticed any changes in her body before, but now that she had applied the needles again, she realized that it seemed that the originally difficult needle technique had now be much easier. Ruby was surprised by that and only took two hours to heal the remaining six people, however, she did not feel a bit of tiredness and it was not at this time that she felt the change of the plum blossom birthmark had had indeed had a great impact on her. "That is it, Jared, you can go back to my ce to get the medicine, they will be able to heal in seven days at most." Ruby pondered thoughtfully about the plum blossom birthmark and took the pulses of N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. several injured people to confirm that there was nothing else wrong with their bodies before casually giving an exnation to Jared. "Okay." Jared nodded. "I''ll leave now. Remember to pay me for the treatment." Ruby sterilized the silver needles away and nced at Levi. "I''ll see you off." The ethereal fragrance of Ruby was burrowing inside his nostrils at every moment, and Levi could never understand why this woman was increasingly giving him a familiar feeling. Chapter 84 Amelia Has Accident Chapter 84 Amelia Has ident Ruby nced up at Levi and did not refuse his kind offer. The two men exited the infirmary one after the other, and only when they reached the door did they see David standing there with an ufortable look on his face. When David looked at Ruby, his face turned red, thinking that he had just questioned Ruby''s medical skills, he felt embarrassed at this moment. "I, I''m sorry, I admit that your medical skills are very good." David stopped Ruby, torn again and again, but opened his mouth to apologize. Ruby responded indifferently, was not particrly concerned about David''s acknowledgement. David originally wanted to say something else, but when he noticed Levi¡¯s gaze, all the words that were on his lips shrank back, only to look at Ruby and then turned around and ran away. "You have quite an interesting person here." Ruby watched David''s back and twisted her head to look at Levi. Levi raised his eyebrows slightly, the first time they met at the hotel, he had sensed that this woman was not ordinary. It is only now that he hase into contact with her that he realizes that she is not only very skilled, but also very good at medicine. It is just that such a person is so unknown in H Country that no one has ever heard of her, and this matter is indeed very odd. "You''re not so bad either." Levi replied meaningfully. Ruby only pretended not to hear. The two men emerged from their base in District 7, and a ck Land Rover was already parked outside. Levi went to drive the car, and Ruby pulled open the door and got into the passenger seat. Just as he sat down, Levi''s mobile phone rang. Levi looked down at the caller and subconsciously frowned, not bothering to answer the phone. The phone kept ringing relentlessly. "Aren''t you going to answer the phone? There''s probably something urgent." Ruby looked at Levi and kindly reminded him. Levi pondered for a moment, waiting for the phone to ring again before answering it. "Mr. Finn, this is the emergency room of the First People''s Hospital in Sea City, an injured person has just been brought here, we only found your contact information in her address book. Can you please low and steady man''s voice. Levi''s expression changed slightly at the sound of his voice, and his voice became cold and stern: "Injured? What happened?" "It was a car ident, the injuries are not minor, and the injured person is still being resuscitated. We need the patient''s family toe over and sign some papers." The other party answered Levi''s question truthfully. "I''ll be right over." Levi hung up the phone straight away. When she saw that Levi had started the car and left without even asking her if she wanted to join him, Content ? N?velDrama.Org. the corner of her mouth tugged and she turned her head to look out of the window. The car sped all the way to the entrance of the First People''s Hospital of Sea City two hourster. Only when Levi stopped the car and got out did he notice Ruby, who had been sitting quietly and hesitated slightly in his movements. Ruby had already pulled open the car door and got off ahead of him. Seeing Levi move hesitantly, she smiled in a cloudy manner, "You don''t need to worry about me, I can go back by myself." "Okay." Levi looked at her in silence for a moment before he answered faintly and walked straight into the hospital. The door to the emergency room was closed and a young nurse stood at the door, seeing that Levi had arrived, she quickly stepped forward, "Are you the family of Amelia?" "What''s her condition now?" The lines of Levi''s features were taut, and a terrible coldness permeated his body. "The injury is serious, the nerves in her leg are damaged and may require amputation." The nurse handed over the papers, "Here are a few notices that need to be signed immediately, please confirm your signature." Levi took it over and scanned through it with a single nce, and his face became more and more grave after reading it. Her injuries were indeed very serious and amputation was the best way to deal with them at the moment. She was still so young, and amputation would have been too cruel for her. He wrinkled his brow and looked at the surgical consent form for a long silent moment before he spoke in a deep voice and asked, "Is there no other way?" "If you don''t agree to the surgery for the time being, you can also contact a nationally or internationally renowned neurologist on your own to try and see if there is a way to repair the damaged nerves, there is nothing we can do." The nurse spoke helplessly. The medical resources of the First People''s Hospital in Sea City are not much worse than those in capital. If the doctors here are unable to help, they will be unable to help even in the capital. "I know, let''s postpone the surgery for now." Levi handed back the document in his hand. The nurse hesitated for a moment before picking it up, "We respect the family''s opinion." With that, she turned and went into the emergency room. It wasn''t until two hourster that Amelia was taken out of the emergency room, still unconscious and with minor scrapes on her face. "The injured person is in a stable condition, but as I said before, it is rmended to arrange for the amputation of the leg immediately, noter than seven days. If the amputation is not carried out within seven days, the necrotic nerve may affect the nearby muscle nerves, which will cause more serious consequences." The doctor, in his early forties, said with a very serious expression. After reminding Levi of this, he turned around and went out. Levi sat in front of the hospital bed, looking at the unconscious Amelia, his face was gloomy. Only after a long time did he take out his mobile phone and give a call to Jared: "Find out what caused Amelia''s ident, and also, contact the best neurosurgeon in H Country toe to the First People''s Hospital for consultation." "What''s wrong?" Jared froze, and through the phone he could feel the seriousness in Levi''s tone. "Amelia had a car ident and may need to have his leg amputated." Levi answered his question briefly. "Amputation? That serious? Why didn''t you ask Miss Harold for help? Her medical skills are so good, she might be able to ......" Jared suddenly paused in the middle of his words and hurriedly changed his words, "Levi, I''ll go investigate right away!" Having said that, he hung up the phone. Levi wrinkled his eyebrows, but inside his mind he thought about Jared''s words. The injuries of Amelia were so serious that if it was Ruby who helped, she might have had a chance to save her legs. As the thought had only just popped up, Levi himself vetoed it. He was well aware of all the problems between Amelia and Ruby. Asking Ruby to treat Amelia at such a time was too much even for him. Levi mentally dismissed this possibility and waited reassuringly for Amelia to wake up, while thinking about who was behind. Chapter 85 How is This Possible? Chapter 85 How is This Possible? "Levi?" Half an hourter, the moment Amelia opened her eyes and saw Levi, she couldn''t stop her tears from starting to fall down. "I am here." Looking at this frail look of Amelia, Levi didn''t bear it in the end and got up to sit on the edge of the hospital bed, reaching out and patting her gently on the top of her head. She cried even harder and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her face, "Am I ugly now? Levi, you, you go away, don''t look at me, I don''t want you to see me like this." After some violent movements, her face became paler and paler, and she looked at Levi with desperation and panic: "Levi, I... what''s wrong with me? Why do I feel that my body is out of control?" "It''s okay, don''t move, I won''t let anything happen to you." Levi reached out and pressed down on Amelia. "You must be lying to me, right? What''s wrong with my body? What''s wrong? Why can''t I move at all? Levi, am I, am I ......" Amelia was so devastated that she simply could not ept such a fact. Levi didn''t know how tofort her, and seeing that she was really agitated, he had to go and call the doctor over. The doctor came soon and, seeing the condition of Amelia, he immediately ordered the nurse to sedate her. After the sedative, Amelia soon drifted off to sleep again. Levi sighed with relief. The doctor''s face was a little gloomy: "The patient is too emotional, this is not conducive to recovery from her injuries, you should take care to calm her down and not let her continue to get excited like this. Mr. Finn, it is advisable to have the operation as soon as possible." "Okay." Levi gave a cold enunciation, and only after sending the doctor away did he sit back down again. When the call came from Jared, she was still unconscious, and Levi got up and walked to the balcony to answer the phone. "The matter has been investigated and I''ve sent the details to your email. You can read it yourself." Jared looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn''t say anything. After hanging up the phone, he checked his mail, and there was indeed a piece of information inside. He opened it, and after reading it, his face changed and he finally deleted the information silently. After a few moments of silence, he called Jared. "This matter continues to be investigated." Levi''s voice was cold and forced, even a few degrees colder than when he had previously asked Jared to investigate the cause of Amelia''s injuries. "Levi ......," Jared hesitated. "I don''t believe in such nonsense as jealousy and buying a murderer, don''t put me off with that. I know what kind of person Ruby is, she wouldn''t do such a thing. Keep investigating, go deeper and deeper!" Levi directly interrupted Jared''s words, and hung up the phone after dropping a sentence. Jared looked at the phone screen and fell into silence for a long time before silently making a call out. Levi stood on the balcony for a while, subconsciously reaching for his cigarette, but only when he reached his pocket did he remember that he had quit smoking for a long time, and he rubbed his fingers in his pocket a few times before entering the ward with a cold face. Amelia was still in aa, and the sedative had a two-hour effect. After confirming that she would not wake up for the time being, Levi left the hospital and went straight back to Shangcheng International. It had been less than ten minutes since Levi left before her eyes were opened. The space in the ward was not small, but the sound from the balcony could still be clearly transmitted to the room, so the content of the conversation between Levi and Jared just now was not concealed from Amelia. "What''s so great about Ruby? Is she worthy of your trusting her that much?" Amelia''s face was grim and her eyes were red with resignation. She raised her hand in indignation and mmed it hard against her thighs, her legs were senseless, her face changed and she hurriedly rang the call bell at the foot of the bed. Within five minutes, the doctor and nurse came rushing over. There was also a slight flinch when they saw that Amelia was awake. She ignored their expressions and just questioned with a cold, sullen face, "What''s going on with my legs? Why can''t I feel anything at all?" The ident was deliberate, she knew the extent of her injuries, and there was no way her legs would This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. be senseless. It was just that she really couldn''t feel her legs from the time she woke up just now until now. "Miss Moore, you have suffered severe nerve damage to both legs due to the car ident, resulting in paraplegia, it''s just that Mr. Finn didn''t sign the consent form for the surgery to amputate your legs, so we haven''t operated on you for the time being." The doctor pushed the sses on the bridge of his nose and answered truthfully. Amelia was struck and looked at him incredulously, "What did you say! Say it again?" "Miss Moore, no matter how many times I say these words, it is the same. You should not be too emotional now, this will not do any good to your body, I hope you can cooperate well with the treatment. At present, the international prosthetic limb technology has been very perfect, even if you are really paraplegic, it will not affect your future life ......" The doctor said something else, but she didn''t listen to a word of it. All she could think of was that she was paraplegic. How could she be paraplegic? That car ident was obviously just a fake, she had deliberately arranged it in order to set Ruby up! She felt ckness in front of her eyes and did not bear it, but directly fainted. After returning to Shangcheng International, Levi went straight to ring the doorbell of Ruby''s house. Ruby came over to open the door, wearing a white home dress, with her long hair casually tied up. She was stunned for a moment when she saw that it was Levi at the door: "Why are you here? Something wrong?" "Nerve necrosis in the leg, can you do something about it?" Levi was silent for a moment, thinking of the way Amelia looked, he still opened his mouth. Ruby turned towards the house and frowned when she heard his words: "Nerve necrosis? Caused by a car ident? It can be saved, tell me who it is first." "Amelia Moore." Levi followed her into the door, answering directly. "No." Ruby rolled her eyes. Her rtionship with Amelia had not been good enough for her to offer her help. "Any price will work." Levi uttered subconsciously with a cold face. Ruby turned back and looked at him with amusement, "Do you think I am short of money? I just simply don''t want to save her." "Ruby ......" "Enough, neuronal necrosis is hopeless, do you really think I''m a god who is able to cure any disease?" Ruby raised her hand, interrupting Levi''s words. Levi looked at her clear, cold face and fell silent at her words, without further persuasion. "An early amputation might save her, but if you dy, she will die. She can live with a prosthetic limb." Ruby even kindly gave advice. After that, she went off to her own business and paid no attention to Levi. Chapter 86 Almost Got Revealed Chapter 86 Almost Got Revealed Levi stood there for a long moment before he reacted that Ruby was actually so knowledgeable about Amelia''s injuries. He was about to ask a question but his mobile phone rang, he nced at it and found it was a call from the hospital, thinking that it was probably something wrong with Amelia, so he answered the phone while walking towards the door, "What is it?" "Mr. Finn, just now Miss Moore killed herself." An hourter, Levi arrived at the inpatient department of the First City Hospital once again. Amelia had just been resuscitated and the effects of the anesthetic had not yet worn off, so she was unconscious at the moment. After Levi entered and took a look, he couldn''t help but frown and looked at the doctor standing by the side, his face gloomy: "Why would she suddenlymit suicide?" "Miss Moore learned of her physical condition, and after learning of the amputation, she couldn''t bear the blow and smashed the infusion bottle and cut her pulse when the nurse wasn''t paying attention, but fortunately she was found in time and was rescued." Simon Hall the doctor thought of that image just now and could not help but get cold sweat. "I know." Levi pursed his lips, his face bing grim. Simon and the nurse had gone out, leaving only Levi and Amelia inside the ward. Ten minutester, Dr. Moore, who had been notified, also arrived at the hospital in a hurry. When he saw the pale Amelia, his heart ached and the disappointment he had originally felt for her disappeared at that moment. He greeted Levi before taking a seat at the side, looked tired, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant. "Dr. Moore ......," Levi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. "You don''t have to apologize to me, you''ve done a good job. It''s her fate." Dr. Moore looked up at Levi and gave a far-fetched smile. "Dr. Moore, you are in the field of biomedicine, is there nothing you can do about her condition?" Dr. Moore is a famous professor and can be considered a titan in the medical field, so Levi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He had known for a long time that Dr. Moore was now working with the Third Laboratory of F Country. The Third Laboratory had produced a world-renowned MR.Q., who had excellent medical skills, especially in the area of cell regeneration, which was unparalleled. If Dr. Moore could have asked MR.Q. toe forward, there might have been hope for Amelia''s injury. "No." Dr. Moore shook his head with a heavy face. He contacted Ruby after learning of Amelia¡¯s ident, and also transferred a copy of her medical records to Ruby, but Ruby said there was no way out and the only advice given was to amputate her legs. If even Ruby could not cure the injury, he guessed there was no one in the world that can cure her. Levi was silent at his words and did not speak again. The two of them sat inside the ward for a while before Amelia woke up with a sultry twist. When she woke up, she subconsciously reached out to pull the IV needle on the back of her hand, but Levi noticed and stopped her in time. She was crying so hard that her voice was hoarse: "Levi, leave me alone, please let me die, what''s the point of living in this state? I might as well die. Save you the trouble." She was so emotional that she fell into the arms of Levi, crying her heart out. Levi''s body stiffened slightly, still instinctively repulsed and resistant to Amelia''s contact. But looking at Amelia, he hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and gently pped her twice on the back of her head: "Don''t say such words, I will definitely not give up on you." "Levi, I will only drag you down if I live like this. You can pretend that what happened five years ago never happened, and you don''t have to be responsible for me, you are now engaged to Miss Harold and will be getting married soon, so you can live your lives well in the future and pretend that you never knew me. You go away." Amelia shook her head desperately, left from Levi¡¯s arms and reached out to push him away. The more Levi saw her like this, the more he could not bear it. Five years ago, he was the one who had hurt her, and he had promised to be responsible for her at that time. At that time, she was still fine and he had never thought of abandoning his promise. "Well, no silly talk like that. I will call off the engagement with Ruby, and I will marry you." Levi sighed slightly in his heart and gathered down thoseplicated emotions in his heart before he continued to speak. In a ce that Levi could not see, a touch of smugness shed in Amelia''s eyes, but on the surface, she still cried and shook her head in refusal, "No, it''s not possible, Levi, in my current state, I can''t even have children in the future, if you marry me, it''s like marrying a burden, it''s not fair to you. I don''t need you to marry me for the sake of responsibility." Levi''s face was slightly cold, looking at Amelia without saying anything, but his attitude was already there. "Five years ago? What happened five years ago? Amelia, is there something else you''re hiding from me?" Dr. Moore felt he couldn''t understand what the two were saying. Her face suddenly changed, and it was only at this time that she realized that Dr. Moore was also present. She looked flustered for a split second before recovering and looked at Dr. Moore in tears, "Grandpa, you, why are you here? Grandpa, I''m sorry, I, what I did before was wrong, I hurt your heart, can you forgive me?" When Dr. Moore looked at the appearance of Amelia at this moment, even if there were still some hard Content ? N?velDrama.Org. feelings in his heart, by this time they had vanished cleanly. In the end, she was his granddaughter he had always spoiled, so how could he not feel anything at all? "Don''t talk about the past anymore, live well in the future. Even if you have an amputation, it doesn''t matter, life can go on, there are many people with disabilities in this world, but they are living well, you can too." Dr. Moore sighed before speaking in a soft voice. The word "amputation" stung Amelia''s heart, and her tears fell abruptly as she looked at Dr. Moore with resignation and pleaded, "Grandpa, isn''t Miss Harold willing to help save me? She was even able to save brain death, this injury of mine must not be difficult for her either, is she, is she still ming me?" "What are you babbling about! What brain death? Such muddled words are not allowed to be said casually in the future!" Dr. Moore''s face changed abruptly at her words, and he chided Amelia with a cold face. It was not that he couldn''t trust Ruby, it was just that her identity was a matter of great importance and if someone knew her whereabouts and true identity, it would lead to endless trouble. Levi looked slightly puzzled, thinking about the conversation between Amelia and Dr. Moore just now, brain death? The only treatment for brain death should be the project that Dr. Moore is working on with MR.Q. Is Ruby rted to this project? As he was thinking, he heard Dr. Moore say to him with an apologetic face, "Levi, Amelia was confused by the car ident and was talking nonsense, please don¡¯t mind her nonsense." Chapter 87 The Unexpected Result Chapter 87 The Unexpected Result "Dr. Moore ......" Levi frowned, and as he just wanted to say a few words, Dr. Moore received a phone call. He answered the phone and his face suddenly changed, could not care to say more to Levi, only to keep an eye on Amelia with the treatment, then turned and hurriedly left. Her gaze was resentful as she looked at Dr. Moore''s back. At this point in time, he is still helping that woman Ruby to hide it! What''s so great about that bitch? Why does everyone turn to her? She was reluctant, and looking at Levi''s thoughtful appearance, she suddenly let out an ouch, interrupting Levi''s thoughts. Levi looked at Amelia, and seeing her pale face and painful look, he thought something was wrong with her injuries, raised his hand and pressed the call bell, and soon Simon came to the ward again. She was so badly injured, but he didn''t force that woman toe and treat her! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She just couldn''t understand what had gone wrong with everything that had been nned, why the fake car ident had turned out to be real, and why she had ended up like this! "Levi ......" Amelia was trying to speak but Levi''s mobile phone rang. He looked down, his face changed slightly, and he didn''t hear Amelia''s words, but turned around and went out to answer the phone. "Levi ......" Amelia froze and looked at Levi with disbelief. How could he leave at this time? She was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and smashed it over, "Get lost! Don''t pretend to be here! I don''t need you to treat me! Get lost!" Simon was unprepared and was smashed by a pillow, his brow furrowed and he took a look at the scowling face of Amelia. He coldened his expression, took his medical records and left in a hurry. With the people gone, Amelia became more and more out of control, throwing a tantrum, while the lower half of her body was senseless, and she was so anxious and angry that she only hated Dr. Moore for not helping her. Dr. Moore came out of the hospital and went straight back to the Institute. Ruby entered one step ahead of him and the two met at the door, both with somewhat stony faces. "Ruby, I ...... " Dr. Moore opened his mouth, this time the experimental data leaked, causing a very bad impact. The Institute''s various researches is to be prepared to apply for patents, but it did not expect that there would be data leaks. Ruby raised her hand: "This matter has nothing much to do with you, there is no need to apologize. How is the situation?" "This experimental data has been obtained by the SQb over in S Country. They have also been working on the relevant reagents before, and this time they not only got all our experimental data, but also the samples of the reagents, I am afraid ......" Dr. Moore had a chagrined look on his face. Ruby''s footsteps paused: "Reagent samples?" "It was my fault." Dr. Moore continued to apologize. Ruby took a deep breath and the two of them entered the conference room together. All the researchers involved in the experimental drug test this time were present, each with their heads bowed and their faces full of guilt. Ruby pulled out a chair and sat down, not bothering to beat around the bush, she asked, "Who exins why the data was leaked out? And the samples of reagents, why would someone get a sample of something like that in their hands?" This time the Sa-1 reagents were provided by the thirdboratory in F Country. All the quantities were very strictly controlled, and Dr. Moore had strict control, and they were only taken out every time when they were used for patients. Content ? N?velDrama.Org. The people inside the meeting room looked at each other and no one opened their mouths to admit that they had done it. Ruby is not in a hurry, while waiting for the answer, while disassembling and assembling the mobile phone into a microputer in front of everyone, and then began to retrieve the surveince and data, waiting for the process of pressing enter and waiting for the result, Ruby raised her head to look at the people in front of her: "Take the initiative to exin yourselves, you can still be given a chance. If I let myself find out, the consequences are not something you can afford. " Ruby usually looks very easy-going and nice to get along with, but when she is serious, she makes everyone shudder, especially with that awe-inspiring killing aura on her body that makes people''s hair stand on end. "Miss Harold, we really don''t know what''s going on, I believe that the people in our experimental group would not do such a thing as leaking information." Oscar stepped forward first. Ruby nced at him and then at the progress of the data, it had reached 99%, the result would be avable soon as to who had moved the data. Seeing that no one had admitted to it, she didn''t bother to waste any more time in pursuing the matter; without proof, it would be futile to say anything more. Thest 1% of the progress waited for ten minutes before it was finallypleted. Ruby looked at the information disyed and raised her eyebrows with some surprise, looking at Dr. Moore. The information she found here showed that the data had been transmitted from Dr. Moore''sputer, including the reagent samples obtained by the other side, which also came from Dr. Moore. "You guys go out first. Dr. Moore stays, we''ll talk." Ruby quickly disassembled theputer, reassembled it into a mobile phone and ced it on the conference table. The others looked at each other for a moment before they left the room one after another. Although Dr. Moore had already guessed that this would be the result, he still found it difficult to breathe at this moment. He sat down on the chair with a white face for a long time before he looked at Ruby in exhaustion, "It should be Amelia, I didn''t expect her to do such a thing, when I received the call that the data was leaked, I thought it might be her." "Forget it, in fact, I have already modified the experimental data you got in your hands long ago, even if they got the data results, it''s useless. As for the reagents, no one can get it easily unless I''m willing." Ruby looked at Dr. Moore¡¯s disappointed expression, shook her head and didn¡¯t say any more. As to whether or not it''s Amelia, it doesn''t matter anymore. She had already nted a Trojan horse virus inside everyone''sputer, and all the data came with a self-destruct program. As soon as someone opened the data or copied it after the leak, the self- destruct program would be activated, not only destroying the original data, but also destroying all the data inside the other person''sputer as well. "Dr. Moore, it''s better to arrange for the amputation of Amelia''s leg as soon as possible." Ruby stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room, and as she opened the door to go out, her footsteps paused and she reminded. Dr. Moore nodded, his face full of fatigue, and waited for Ruby to leave before he made a call out. Chapter 88 Overturned Chapter 88 Overturned In SQbs, several blonde foreigners are gathered together at this moment with excited faces, looking at the information they have obtained without any effort and excited beyond their control. "I didn''t expect to get this experiment report so smoothly this time, it''s really great. And there are still samples, as long as we analyze the ingredients, we should be able to reproduce a copy immediately, by then, this patent will definitely be ours!" An elderly professor was trembling with excitement. The excitement on the faces of the others was unmistakable. They stared at the data on theputer, full of joy, and even imagined getting the patent and winning an international award with it, so that theirb could go to the next level. At present, internationalboratories are graded, and they have been hovering between three grades, slow to upgrade into a higher grade, but they never expected to have such an unexpected pleasure this time. However, as they were dreaming, theputer screen suddenly went ck and several of them paled. The elderly professor reached out to turn it on, but it had no reaction, as if it was power off. "Quick, go and get the IT expert from theb to see what''s going on." The old professor was so anxious that he hurriedly instructed his men to go and find someone. Soon the IT expert from theb arrived and after taking a look at theputer, he inserted the USB stick in his hand and after a few clicks on the keyboard, the screen finally responded. The crowd was relieved, but they didn''t rejoice too long. When theputer was restarted, they realized that all the data on theputer was gone, deleted cleanly. "How could this happen?" The old professor was so angry that his eyes went ck and he almost didn''t hold back from passing out. The others were also anxious and looked at the IT expert they had paid a lot of money to. The IT expert looked at the recycle bin inside theputer and manipted it some more before looking at the old professor: "What did you just read inside theputer? I detected a very advanced Trojan horse program, which directly destroyed all the files inside theputer, and it is impossible to recover them at my level. I don''t think anyone in the world today is probably able to recover that data either." "What!?" Several people were struck, and the old professor even swayed and passed out. "Quick, go and see if the otherputers in theb have been affected." The other professor was rtively stronger mentally and knew enough to go check the otherputers¡¯ data. Several people scattered out and ordered someone to check all theputers throughout theb, and it was only when everyone had done so that they felt truly desperate. All the data was emptied. And ording to the IT expects at theirb, there was no way anyone could recover the data after it had been emptied. All the data from all the experiments they had worked so hard on earlier were gone. This tremendous blow left everyone as bereft as they were, full of despair. By the time they thought they were still holding a sample of the Sa-1 reagent in their hands, another piece of bad news came through; the Sa-1 reagent had disappeared, without warning, just as suddenly as it had evaporated in the test tube. They spent a lot of money and not only did they not get any of the data they wanted, but they lost years of research from theb, which was a big blow. "Shit! Damn it! That woman tricked us! We absolutely cannot let her go!" The people at SQ Labs were furious, and when they reacted, they med all the misses on Ruby. ** First People''s Hospital, Sea City, H Country. When Amelia came to her senses again, she was already in the ward and her legs were unconscious, her mind was nk. She reached out to her legs and cried out abruptly. Her legs were gone! Content ? N?velDrama.Org. She lost her mind, crying and screaming, and when she saw Leviing, she cried even more. "Levi, Levi, my, my legs, my legs ......" Looking at her, Levi felt unbearable and stepped forward, raising his hand to pat her head: "It''s okay, I won''t leave you behind." "Levi, you will break off your engagement with Ruby and marry me, won''t you? You won''t leave me behind, will you? Don''t you leave me, I, I have nothing left, I have nothing left." At this point, Amelia could no longer be bothered to be gracious and ask Levi not to leave her alone. She had her leg amputated. Dr. Moore really had no regard for her granddaughter¡¯s feelings and agreed to the amputation, without even informing her, and simply amputated both her legs. She was so mad with hatred in her heart that she only hated that the car ident had not killed Dr. Moore! "Don''t worry, I won''t leave you behind, be good, don''t get emotional, get well in the hospital, leave everything else to me, okay?" Levi soothed Amelia''s emotions and softly persuaded. She could only rely on Levi now. If Levi didn''t want her, she really didn''t know what to do. Luckily there are still things from five years ago that can hold him back, and luckily Levi, a person who doesn''t care about anything else but is very responsible, is convinced of what happened five years ago and has never doubted her authenticity. She was a little less tense and anxious atst. After Levi had calmed her down, he left again in a hurry. Things are still waiting for him over in District 7, he''s got too much on his te these days. The significance of the existence of District 7 is very significant, and many people inside are working undercover in various countries and regions on missions. But there was an ident, the name list has been revealed, which cause great troubles, so now he had to retreated all the undercover back, lest people get injured or die. It''s just that a day has passed since the ident, and he is afraid that many forces have already made their move. Levi returned to District 7 with a sullen face, and Chester and the others came over, standing before him with their heads bowed. "Did you find out what happened? Why on earth would the list of undercover officers be leaked? Do you guys know what this means? It means that all our previous efforts have been wasted, and there are still many men facing danger to their lives." Levi scolded unceremoniously with a cold face. "Mr. Levi, the technical side is still investigating, our system has been invaded, and the other party is very clever. We didn''t even notice before the firewall was breached and the data was stolen, by the time we found out, it was already toote, the data had already been leaked out." Chapter 89 It Could be Z Chapter 89 It Could be Z Chester was so guilty that he bowed his head and spoke with breathlessness. Levi gave him a faint look and snorted coldly: "The state spent so much money to raise a group of so- called technicians, and this is what they show me? Has the firewall been repaired? Have you found out who is hacking our firewall? The firewall of District 7 is not the best in the world, but it is definitely the best in the country, and it was actually hacked, don''t you guys ever reflect on that?" Chester did not speak. "Mr. Levi, I suspect that someone has deliberately leaked our secrets. No outsider has evere to District 7, but some days ago, an outsider came, and it''s hard not to be suspicious. And she even went to your lounge, Mr. Levi, so maybe she was the one who deliberately leaked our secrets." As Karl watched Chester being scolded, he was furious and spoke up with a cold face, directly ming Ruby. As his words fell, the faces of many in the crowd changed slightly. Not everyone knew about Ruby, and Levi had the intention to protect her identity, so he didn''t disclose her story, not expecting that this would instead be a reason for others to attack her. When Chester heard the man''s words, his face turned pale, and with red eyes, he scolded, "Nonsense! This matter has nothing to do with Miss Harold, and it is impossible for her to do such a thing, admit your own ipetence, don''t throw the me on others." "I''m not skilled, I admit that, but that doesn''t make her any less suspicious! District 7 has always been safe, there hasn''t been any ident for so many years, but something happened as soon as she arrived, are we still not allowed to suspect her? What exactly is her identity and whether she is trustworthy is still to be found out, why don''t you allow us to suspect her?" The person who spoke was none other than one of the IT staff from District 7, named Seth. He was a genius with an extremely high IQ. At the age of sixteen, he entered H Country''s best academic institution, as the top student in the country, and he also entered the most poprputer department, where hisputer skills ranked high internationally and he was able to barely squeeze into the top twenty. Seth thinks highly of himself, and this time the firewall of District 7 was breached, he was naturally unjust in his heart. He was willing to ept criticism, but he insisted that it had something to do with Ruby. "She ......" Chester subconsciously tried to exin for Ruby, but he was interrupted by Levi. "Tell me why you say she''s suspicious." Levi nced at Chester before looking at Seth. Chester held his tongue and didn''t continue. Seth said, ¡°Mr. Levi, theputer in your lounge has all data of our men in District 7 and you are the highest executive officer of District 7, you are the only one who has the mostplete information on all undercover agents. She spent long time there. I don¡¯t believe that she is clean of suspicions, so she has to be investigated by us, or I am unconvinced." "Okay." Levi nodded and instructed Chester, "Call her and tell her toe to District 7 now." Chester''s face changed and he subconsciously looked at Levi. Seeing the firm look on Levi¡¯s face, he only responded and turned to go out to call Ruby. Ruby returned to Shangcheng International right after she came out of the research institute. When she received Chester''s call, she was bored watching the new dramaing out, and she hesitated for a moment when she saw the caller, thinking for a while before she remembered who it was. Material ? N?velDrama.Org. After picking up the phone, Ruby didn''t speak, waiting for the other party to speak first. "Hello Miss Harold, I am Chester from District 7, we have met a few times before, this is how it is, we have a problem here. I hope you cane over and I will arrange for someone to pick you up." Chester was polite, and he didn''t say anything about suspecting Ruby, he just politely made the request. Ruby was silent for a moment, looked at the time and raised her eyebrows, "Okay." After giving her address, she turned off the show she was watching on her tablet, changed into light clothes and when she received a call from Chester again half an hourter, she had been downstairs. It was already two hours after Ruby arrived in District 7. As soon as she entered District 7, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the whole District 7 was gloomy and even a bit depressing. Ruby was a little surprised and wondered what was going on. Chester was waiting downstairs, and when he saw hering, he took the initiative to greet her and politely led her up to the conference room on the first floor. There were quite a few people inside the meeting room, all the people from the technical department were there, and when they saw Ruby enter, they all looked at her angrily, obviously having identified her as the person who had leaked their secrets. Ruby frowned at them before looking at Levi: "You want to see me?" "Yes, it won''t take you much time." Levi nodded and pointed to a spot on the side. Ruby nced at the location, then at the group of people in front of her, narrowing her eyes, "What''s wrong with you? Now this is to suspect me and raise an usation?" "Hmph, you know what you have done, so exin yourself so that we don''t embarrass you by exposing you." Seth stared at Ruby, gnashing his teeth in hatred. Ruby looked at Seth to confirm that she had not seen this person, and she grew more and more suspicious: "What did I do! Say it out and I''ll listen." "You stole our District 7¡¯s secrets from Mr. Levi''sputer and leaked them out. Do you know how badly you would have affected by doing that? There will be many people dying because of you!" Seth looked at Ruby with red eyes, wishing to go up and give Ruby a few ps. "Heh, you call the shots? Where''s the evidence?" Ruby put her hands around her chest and looked at Seth coldly, finding what he said quite interesting. Trying to wrong her with empty words? "You went into Mr. Levi''s lounge, and hisputer was inside the lounge, and something happened in District 7 after you left. In all the years that we''ve been established, there''s never been anything like this before, so howe it happened right after you came here? If you didn''t do this, who else could it be? Don''t think that just because you''ve bewitched Mr. Levi with your beauty, you can walk around in District 7!" Seth gnashed his teeth as he looked at Ruby. Ruby: "......" When she heard this, she understood that thest time she came to save someone, she had a problem. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Levi: "I was resting in your lounge that day, you must have been there too, right? Did I touch yourputer? You didn''t give them an exnation?" As soon as she said this, the faces of many people present changed, not expecting Ruby to be able to say such things so lightly. Seth''s face was even paler as he looked incredulously at Levi and Ruby, how could he have expected to hear such shocking news? Levi coughed and admitted quite frankly, "That''s right, that day when you were sleeping inside, I was indeed inside the lounge taking care of things and didn''t leave." "So you''ve invited me over now to y?" Ruby smiled. "Not really, a few of the patients you sawst time still need you to help, so that''s why I asked you to
