Kenneth Morgan's lips twitched slightly.
Alright!
He could already imagine the muddy road his future would be!
"Sir, please reconsider!"
Christopher Moore poured another glass and pushed it in front of Kenneth Morgan, "There's nothing to reconsider!"
When he discovered it was her first time, there was nothing more to reconsider!
"The outcome is already decided!"
Kenneth Morgan was so frightened that he almost knelt down, "Sir..."
"Taking someone else's wife is unethical, especially since the old master has already..."
Christopher Moore interrupted him, "Get me all the current projects under construction and the plans for the next three years for Hargreaves Corporation!"
"Also, give me all the information on Ruby Mercer, including the details of her empty marriage!"
"The more detailed, the better!"
Kenneth Morgan was resigned!
His boss was serious!
When he got serious, there was no way to give others a chance...
Ruby Mercer hurriedly exited the elevator, only to be stopped by a man.
"Miss Mercer, it's quite chaotic outside, please come with us!"
Ruby Mercer initially wanted to refuse, but when she glanced at the throng of people outside the hotel's entrance, she finally nodded.
"Thank you!"
She glanced at the name tag on the man's chest: Henry Kerr, Manager.
Henry Kerr led her to the VIP parking area, where rows of luxury cars were parked.
Ruby Mercer was ushered into a black Hummer.
The car circled to the club's entrance, and she saw the large "Temporarily Closed" sign on the hotel and the dense crowd of reporters with cameras.
Ruby Mercer suddenly realized she was like a clown.
She thought she had escaped last night's nightmare, but in reality, every step was part of someone else's plan.
She clutched her collar tightly, suddenly feeling that things were getting serious!
More serious than her infidelity within marriage!
Who exactly was the man who took advantage of her last night?
Would she be silenced?
Or would there be something even more terrifying than being silenced?
She looked at the driver in the front seat with a serious expression. She wanted to ask several times but only opened her mouth without actually saying anything.
Forget it!
No need!
Last night was just a nightmare!
Now that it's daylight, the nightmare is over!
She gave the address, and the car drove directly to Westwater City.
With a pale face, Ruby Mercer thanked him and then fled toward the elevator like escaping.
Leopold King, who had kept a stern face, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, dialed a number, and reported that he had safely delivered the person downstairs.
As she entered her home and saw the mess in the dining room, Ruby Mercer frustratedly ruffled her hair.
Smelling the sour stench of last night's food, she wished she could slap herself to death!
"Damn it!"
"Impulsivity is the devil!"
If she hadn't gone crazy yesterday, she wouldn't have met that man!
If she hadn't met that man, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now!
When she woke up in the morning, she didn't see him!
But she remembered his face clearly!
She even remembered every expression of his.
She glanced at the white shirt she was wearing and chose not to clean the dining room first but went into the bathroom, planning to tidy herself up before dealing with the mess.
In the shower, she cursed herself from head to toe.
At this moment, Alvin Hargreaves entered by pressing his fingerprint lock, calling Ruby Mercer's name!
This was the second time he stepped into this place since their marriage.
"Ruby Mercer!"
"Come out!"
Calling Ruby Mercer's name, the man made his way toward the bedroom.
Meanwhile, in the walk-in closet, Ruby Mercer hurriedly searched her wardrobe, looking for a long-sleeved shirt to wear.
But just as she was about to change clothes, someone pushed the closet door open from the outside.
Thinking the sound of the door handle turning was her hallucination, she didn't pay attention.
"Ruby Mercer!"
Ruby Mercer froze, startled by the man at the door, and let out a scream!
"Ah..."
"Alvin Hargreaves, get out!"
The man standing at the doorway was also taken aback.
"Ruby Mercer, what are those marks on your body? You..."
But before he could finish, Ruby Mercer had already pushed him out and locked the door.
Outside, Alvin Hargreaves's furious yelling and door banging could be heard, while inside, Ruby Mercer was even more panicked!
What to do?
What to do?
Looking at her body covered in marks in the mirror, she trembled in panic.
What to do?
Why was he here?
Did he find out she was with that man named Moore?
"Impossible!"
"Ruby Mercer, calm down!"
Cursing the man from last night who seemed to be a dog, Ruby Mercer yelled toward the door.
"Alvin Hargreaves, I'm just changing clothes, if you keep banging, I'll call the police!"
Ruby Mercer gritted her teeth and pinched marks into her skin.
The pain was so intense that tears welled up in her eyes!
It wasn't until Alvin Hargreaves nearly broke down the door that she stopped, quickly put on her clothes, and went out.
When she came out dressed, Alvin Hargreaves, like a madman, had nearly turned her room upside down.
"Alvin Hargreaves, are you fucking insane?"
Alvin Hargreaves took a couple of big strides to get in front of her.
His eyes were filled with fury, and like a madman, he started to tear at Ruby Mercer's clothes.
"Ruby Mercer, let me see what you've done?"
Ruby Mercer kicked and hit him in frustration, "Psychopath! Let go!"
Alvin Hargreaves didn't care, even kicked by her, he wouldn't let go. It seemed as if he was wearing a green hat for a thousand years.
"Ruby Mercer, you'd better give me a clear explanation!"
"If you don't give me an explanation, see if I won't deal with you!"
Ruby Mercer panicked, crying and cursing: "Alvin Hargreaves, you bastard!"
The hem of her shirt was already yanked open, and she struggled to protect her collar desperately.
Looking at the man's ferocious and terrifying face, fear surged in Ruby Mercer's heart.
For three years, she waited, hoped, and what kind of beast was this in the end?!
"Alvin Hargreaves, you bastard!"
"We should get a divorce!"
Alvin Hargreaves could not listen to her words now!
"I wondered why you suddenly proposed divorce, tell me, do you have someone else out there?"
Enraged, Ruby Mercer bit down on his hand that was reaching out to grab her.
"Ouch... Bitch!"
Alvin Hargreaves swung his hand and slapped Ruby Mercer hard. The slap was vicious and heavy, immediately leaving five distinct fingerprints on her face.
"Bitch!"
The man fiercely grabbed her collar, "Speak! Is there another man outside?"
Seeing her silence, the man threatened and yelled fiercely, "Hmm?"
Covering her face, Ruby Mercer suddenly wasn't panicking anymore!
She faced his nasty grotesque face, "Yes!"
"I have someone else outside, we should get divorced!"
Alvin Hargreaves went even crazier upon hearing this, trying to tear her clothes.
"Ruby Mercer, you bitch!"
"See if I won't kill you!"
His mad force ripped her shirt apart, buttons flying everywhere.
Seeing the large crimson marks on Ruby Mercer's body, the man's eyes turned red as if he wanted to kill her.
And he did!
He gripped Ruby Mercer's neck tightly, "Bitch, you deserve to die!"
"Daring to put a green hat on me, I'll send you to hell!"
Ruby Mercer was strangled to the point of suffocation, and in her last moment before death, she mustered all her strength to kick the man's abdomen hard.
"Ugh..."
The man curled up in pain, rolling and howling on the floor.
Ruby Mercer went into the closet and changed her clothes.
With a calm expression, she looked at Alvin Hargreaves in his misery, "Alvin Hargreaves, you asshole!"
"We're getting a divorce!"
Alvin Hargreaves couldn't hear her at all now!
Ruby Mercer clenched her fists, her palms sweaty with tension.
Cheating was her fault!
If Alvin Hargreaves found out she had been with Christopher, he'd never agree to a divorce! Instead, he'd expose her infidelity, making the Mercer Family's name a public disgrace in all of Capital City!
So, she needed to lie!
