Drake ran up and down, although his body did not feel tired, his heart was deeply tormented. After Ruby finished examining the injuries, Drake finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, I should go home," Drake said to Ruby with a stern face as soon as he walked out of the hospital gate.
Ruby, however, persisted and pointed at the wound on her forehead, saying, "Shouldn't you take care of this injury of mine?"
Drake glanced at the immaculate bandage on her forehead and sarcastically commented, "Can you stop pretending? Your wound has healed ages ago."
Ruby didn't waste any time and took out her phone, sending a text message to Thea, “Ms. Fletcher, Drake hurt me. How do you suggest we handle this?"
Then, she also sent a photo in the past.
Thea saw Ruby's text message and instantly felt exhausted. She let out a deep sigh. "This Ruby, she's so cunning. Isn't Drake being manipulated by her to death?"
Thorne asked, "What
When Ruby returned home, it was already ten o'clock at night. She stood at the entrance of the Butcher Manor, looking at the luxurious mansion she had bought with her intelligence, a touch of bitterness appeared on her face.She had a fight with her family and went out to play for the whole day, but surprisingly, not a single person at home cared about her well-being.Her position in this family used to be so low. It seems that she didn't understand her position before and worked tirelessly for the Butcher family in vain.When Ruby pushed the door open, Ruby's father, Ruby's mother, and her older brother were sitting on the sofa watching TV. The family was having a great time, but the atmosphere became noticeably tense when they saw her.Ruby's mother asked with a cold face, "Why did you come back so late? As a girl, you should be at home every day, instead of hanging out outside."Ruby crossed her arms and looked teasingly at Ruby's mother, saying
Ruby's father sat angrily on the sofa. Ruby's brother nervously poured a glass of water for Paul and said, tremblingly, "Dad, you know, I'm not studying IT. Kent asked me such professional questions, and I definitely didn't know."Paul, on the other hand, insisted, "Your sister doesn't even study IT. But why is she able to persuade clients to sign contracts with her?"Ruby's mother realized that today's contract signing had failed. She was biased towards her paralyzed son and said, "Oh dear, husband, Ruby has always been in charge of this project. Suddenly switching to our son, it's normal for him to be unfamiliar. In my opinion, it's all your fault. You only focus on nurturing Ruby in your daily life. In the future, you should give our son more opportunities like this."Paul thought for a moment and agreed with his wife's words."Let's talk about it later."Ruby's brother shifted the battlefield, “By the way, where did Ruby go? If it wasn't
Drake vaguely remembered that the carnation's language of flowers was maternal love.But Ruby was just a little girl, and in terms of actual age, he was almost two rounds older than her. It was very inappropriate for him to give her carnations.Drake concluded that Thorne was a typical straight guy who had no understanding of the meaning of flowers.He was thinking about whether to secretly throw the carnation into the trash while Ruby was still asleep.To avoid Ruby mocking him as a clumsy oaf?Drake's hand had just touched the carnation when Ruby suddenly woke up. With a pair of hazy eyes, she looked at him."The flowers you gave were very beautiful. I really liked them," Ruby said happily.Drake was dumbfounded.Did he just hit the target by accident?Although the owner didn't understand the language of flowers, Ruby also didn't understand the language of flowers. However, they both shared common interests and liked c
Ruby looked at her greedy mother Ruby with a touch of disgust. "The Brown Manor, it must have my name on it. Otherwise, forget about everything."Ruby's mother stared in disbelief and roared, "Are you trying to kill me? The Brown Manor is so expensive, costing billions. It practically drained all of the Butcher family's cash flow. How could your heart be so cruel?"Ruby kicked angrily, gasping heavily. "You know how much money I made for the Butcher family. Now that I'm only taking back a small portion, you're so reluctant. In that case, I give up on helping the Butcher family..."Ruby's father was furious, “Ruby, you are so unreasonable. How dare you threaten us? I, Paul, have plenty of money. Can't I afford to hire a few more talented graduates who are better than you? You just wait and see, the Butcher family can still thrive without you."Ruby sneered, "Well, then I'll wait and see."Drake took the opportunity to rob, “Ms. Butcher,
Gongli cautiously told her, "Why was the master so kind to Ruby? The Brown Manor meant a lot to him, how could he just let it go?"Thea was also puzzled. Finally, she said in a disgruntled tone, "Perhaps they sympathize with each other. After all, that Ruby is likely the manipulator of the Butcher family, just like Thorne, possessing powerful hacking skills at such a young age, mastering the essentials of the IT field. We don't understand geniuses like them, only they can understand themselves."Gong Li Dao, “Is it a close friend?"Thea nodded, "Hmm."Gongli, however, was not pleased, “The master is already married, and his favorite person is you. He shouldn't be treating other girls well."Thea said, "Perhaps there was another hidden reason, we should believe him."Gongli Dao, “Master has been leaving early and coming back late these days. I haven't seen him for several days. I have never seen him so active before."
Thorne was momentarily speechless, and his expression became desolate.Thea quickly stopped William and said, "Dad, it was a matter in the business field. I had Thorne investigate the Butcher family's history. He has been getting close to the Butcher family recently."William pouted, "Why do they have to do it in a secretive manner in front of us when they can just do it openly and honestly?"Thea knew that the excuses she made were not seamless, so she decided to stuff the vegetables into William's mouth. "Dad, you eat the vegetables."The atmosphere of this meal seemed strangely eerie.Thea and Thorne quickly finished their meal and returned to their own rooms.Thea, very excited, grabbed Thorne's hand and asked, "If she really was Olivia, what were you planning to do?"Thorne sat silently on the sofa, sinking his slender body into the couch, which enveloped him perfectly."I didn't know," he said, as he wrapped his hands aro
However, after the recruitment advertisement was sent out, every day there were either inexperienced graduates from prestigious universities or some talented but unfortunate elites who came to submit their resumes. It was not easy to select one or two outstanding candidates, but when they were brought into the cooperation aspect, they hesitated and stumbled. In the end, theory and practice could not be unified, and the results were naturally mediocre.When Paul had not yet recruited any talent, he heard the bad news: the partner Kent had already withdrawn from the plan to collaborate with the Butcher Group, and he had signed a contract with another newly established company.Paul was in a lot of pain and when he got home, he immediately vented his anger at Ruby's mother."It was all because of you that Ruby was forced to leave. Now the company's business volume has sharply declined, and this month's revenue has also shown negative growth. What do you suggest we
Ruby's mother's face turned pale and then blue, and finally she fell to the ground, pounding her chest and stamping her feet, wailing, "How could I have given birth to such a heartless and ungrateful daughter? She disregards the well-being of our family and shows no loyalty to her relatives. There will be consequences!"Ruby listened to her mother's insults, but just smiled and shook her head, ignoring them. She orderly packed her belongings, erasing any trace of her presence, and then carried her luggage downstairs.Ruby's mother suddenly ran up and began to wail and howl, clutching her legs, “You cannot leave, you must stay and work for the Butcher family. We have raised you, you must repay us."Ruby sneered, "Moral blackmail?"Ruby's mother said confidently, "What moral kidnapping? You were born by me, raised by me, and it is only natural for you to work for the Butcher family."Ruby looked at her insane mother with a helpless expression o
Samuel howled, "But I didn't want to accept it."It was late.Drake came in holding a roster. He opened the roster, which had photos of the blind date participants - some with makeup, some without, as well as candid shots and work photos. It also contained the archival records of the individuals from birth until now."Please take a look."Kassidy eagerly took the boys' roster, while Samuel held the girls' roster and they both started flipping through them."Wow. They're all so good." Kassidy exclaimed enthusiastically, "So handsome and talented... I like every one of them. Except for this rich young man... What a nickname, 'Foodie'? This photo must have been photoshopped, definitely a chubby person..."She threw the roster to Drake, "Everyone except him."Drake smirked.Samuel pouted and said, "This chest is too small.""This hair color was too yellow." "This leg was a bit thick.""This waist would be perfect if i
Eric returned home and only then did he realize that his mother, Hana, had already been discharged from the hospital. Ingrid's attitude towards him had become much colder. In fact, she even showed a hint of disgust towards him."Eric, where have you been hiding these days when mom had a car accident and was hospitalized?"Eric, with the postoperative sequelae, was very weak and feeble, saying, "I had a little accident..."Hana finally noticed something unusual about her son, “What's wrong with you?"Eric lifted up the hem of his shirt, revealing the surgical scar on his lower back. "I had my kidney taken away by someone."Hana's pupils dilated, filled with fear. "How could this happen?"Eric closed his eyes in pain and said, "This matter is hard to put into words."Ingrid, who was skilled in calculations, immediately realized that the value of Eric's utilization had been discounted."You were not feeling well now, so will you b
Eric said, "Kassidy, please stop talking. I believe this wasn't done by you. Your character is just like your mother's, both of you are honest and kind people, who would never stoop to such despicable means."He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am getting what I deserved."Kassidy stared at Eric expressionlessly. It was strange, as once she had faced Nathan's myriad of turbulent and grand emotions, but now she was calm like dead ashes.In the end, she simply said, "I didn't mean to not save you. I truly didn't realize how difficult your situation was."With boundless hatred towards that man, Emma pleaded with Kassidy, "So now, could you please help us seek justice?" Despite the pleading tone, her voice was firm, tinged with a hint of reluctant inexperience.Kassidy stared at her coldly and said, "Why should I help you?"Emma was stunned, and then her little face turned bright red.Yeah, why did Kassidy save her?She shoul
Emma trembled as she asked, "Which place do you want?"The man's gaze fell on Eric's waist, “Kidney."Eric couldn't help but feel a chill run through his entire body, as if every nerve was connected to his heart. A sense of unbearable despair washed over him from his heart."I disagreed," Eric roared.The man looked at him with an increasingly cold gaze, “My son was sick. He was the same age as you all, but he developed kidney failure at such a young age. The doctor said he must have surgery as soon as possible, otherwise he won't survive this year. I won't let him die, so I must find a suitable kidney source for him... As long as he can live, I don't care about breaking the law..."Eric shouted impatiently, "You idiot, not everyone's kidney is suitable for him. If we give him our kidney, it could cause rejection, and your son would die even faster."Snap-The man slapped Eric in the face and menacingly said, "How dare you curse my so
The man's face darkened, and his eyes, filled with a predatory gaze, stared at Eric. "You wouldn't be deceiving me, would you? Eric, do you realize the consequences of deceiving me?"Eric was speechless, he was dumbfounded by the man's lack of intelligence. "My phone is in your hands, I didn't have time to tamper with it. Kassidy's phone number has always been stored in my phone. If you can't reach her, it's probably because her phone is currently with her."The man thought for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll give you another fifteen minutes. If Kassidy doesn't call to confirm that you have some relationship with her, then I won't be polite to you."Time passed by minute by minute.Eric's heart grew more and more anxious. He didn't know if Kassidy would call back in such a short amount of time.As the moment of the clock was about to end, Eric's phone rang. Eric let out a sigh of
Eric looked at the screen, but Samuel's words kept echoing in his ears. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, covering his face with both hands, tears and rainwater streaming through his fingers.Yes, Isabella has always been well. She was strong and optimistic, born in adversity but with a heart to overcome obstacles. She was loyal to love and loyal to her family, so she could receive selfless love from her family.Isabella, who was so good, was looked down upon by him in his past life. Now, as he finds himself trapped in a quagmire and realizes the hardships Isabella went through, he discovers that he cannot be as good as her at all. Eric is overwhelmed with shame.He deeply realized that he was not worthy of Isabella.However, Eric soon emerged from the melancholy of lost love. He had to save Emma, and the longer he delayed, the greater the danger she faced.He got up and ran hard.This time, he couldn't help but run for a long ti
Thea suddenly touched her face and said, "Your mother was young and still had her charm. If she had married a middle-aged man who was a good match for her, they could have built a marriage together. Maybe they could have lived a comfortable and peaceful life. But your mother insisted on flattering William and indulging in unrealistic dreams. In the end, she lost both her dignity and her wealth.""Ingrid, remember my words well: Be down-to-earth and work hard in life. Don't try to take shortcuts, as those who seek to gain without effort will not have a good outcome.""By the way, also tell Eric these words."Thea finished speaking and left gracefully.Little did she know, Eric, hiding in the stairwell, understood her words perfectly. He was now caught in a dilemma: a grounded life?Can he still reach the height of his past life?After Hana was discharged from the hospital, faced with a large amount of compensation money, she had no choice but
Hana was so angry that she trembled all over, "I never expected you rich people to be so unreasonable and heartless."Olivia laughed in anger, "I never expected you poor people to stoop so low in your desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Even resorting to using your own uterus. Oh, not all poor people are as spineless as you, my sister Thea has a lot of pride."Hana took a desperate measure, treating the dead horse as if it were alive, and said, "If William is not willing to take responsibility, then I will accuse him of negligence.""Oh, so you finally reveal your true colors, huh? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. Do you have any evidence? If you do, bring it out immediately, and we will register this child's household registration right away. If you don't have any evidence, it's not you suing him, but us suing you for damaging William's reputation."Hana couldn't argue with Olivia and left in a huff.Olivia continued to playfully
Hana panicked, "William, I was just momentarily anxious and spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry, I won't say these nonsense words again in the future."William was exhausted and said, "Let it go."The other side.Hana heard the busy tone coming from her phone, and her face froze. She looked helplessly at the pair of children next to her and said with great disappointment, "He wants me to hit this child? Just because I said bad things about her daughter being selfish and self-centered?"Eric frowned, deeply experiencing the despair of having a teammate who was a liability. He weakly retorted, "How many times have I told you that William is obsessed with spoiling girls? If you're with her, the stepmother will have to treat you better than your own mother. But you foolishly want to compete for favor with Jade."Hana held her son's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "Son, can you help me? How can I change his mind? I don't want to terminate
