Placing Christopher Moore's luggage in the bedroom, Kenneth Morgan sent a link to his master's phone.
"The property management of this community has been replaced with our people! I just sent you the real-time monitoring link downstairs!"
Christopher Moore nodded, "Good job!"
Kenneth Morgan's mouth twitched, "Sir, my girlfriend wants to watch a movie tonight. Can I...?"
Christopher Moore waved his hand, "Get lost!"
"I'm annoyed just looking at you!"
Kenneth Morgan walked away with a cheerful smile!
He seemed to have found a good excuse for a break!
Early the next morning, Ruby Mercer received a call from Alvin Hargreaves.
Telling her to go to the hospital, saying he had already signed the divorce papers for her to pick up.
Ruby Mercer's first instinct was that Alvin Hargreaves was lying to her.
However, she still held onto great hope!
She spent the whole day yesterday in anxiety, barely made it to the night, turned off the light, lay on the bed, and was plagued by nightmares, barely slept the whole night, every time she closed her eyes, she saw the man in the bathroom and Alvin Hargreaves's ferocious face.
Even though there was no affection between them and they were already preparing for a divorce, since they still had that marriage certificate, what she did yesterday counted as infidelity!
"Infidelity"—just these four words were enough to mentally exhaust her.
So, she had to get divorced quickly!
Even if Alvin Hargreaves was lying to her, she had to go to the hospital!
And, judging by the tone of his voice just now, it seemed she had really hurt him!
Ruby Mercer applied a slightly heavier makeup to cover the dark circles and handprints on her face, put on a mask, and pulled on a hat before heading out.
The elevator came quickly, just one floor above her.
But when the elevator opened and she saw who was inside, Ruby Mercer almost choked up.
It was him!
The man with the last name Moore!
The man who haunted her nightmares last night!
Christopher Moore looked calmly at Ruby Mercer with a face that said he was seeing a stranger, "Are you going down?"
Ruby Mercer was stunned, instinctively touched the loose strands of hair by her ear, and touched her face mask, she sighed with relief.
"Yes!"
"Thank you!"
Once inside the elevator, just as she reached to press the -2 floor button, she realized it was already lit with a green light.
When she entered the elevator, the man took two steps back and stood at the back of the elevator.
So, her every move fell into his line of sight.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly.
She put on quite a show!
As expected, women are all self-centered.
She can't even say hi after we've gotten off the bed!
At -2 floor, she practically fled the elevator, making Christopher Moore frown again.
"Little thing!"
Last night he was like a wild beast, yet today he's clearly gentlemanly.
Watching the red Mercedes speeding by, the man chuckled.
"Why run!"
"We'll still meet later!"
The man fastened his seatbelt while imagining their upcoming meeting.
He wondered what kind of expression she would show him later?
He was quite looking forward to it!
In the hospital's underground parking lot.
No parking spaces were available, and Ruby Mercer waited for a while.
The whole way there, she was on edge.
Her intuition told her something was off!
But she kept reassuring herself!
That man definitely didn't recognize her!
Maybe he lived in Imperial Garden purely by coincidence!
Besides, which successful man wasn't surrounded by mistresses? She was likely an inconspicuous passerby.
And thinking of their "cleanliness" conversation in the bathroom, it was clear this man played with women a lot and didn't want any responsibility, plus, that night he was obviously drunk, he probably forgot about her by now!
Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Alvin Hargreaves's call came through again.
Ruby Mercer had barely answered when Alvin Hargreaves's shout came through.
"Where are you? I'm starving!"
"I'm here waiting for a parking spot, stop calling me!"
"Ruby Mercer, watch your tone! Do you not want a divorce anymore?"
Ruby Mercer was so annoyed she had no patience left, "Starving? Why not have your mistresses bring you the food, why hurry me?"
Alvin Hargreaves warned angrily, "Ruby Mercer! Don't anger me!"
"Hurry up and get here, we have accounts to settle... Mr. Moore, what brings you here?"
Ruby Mercer froze; she seemed to hear "Mr. Moore," but wasn't sure.
Just as she wondered if she was hallucinating, Alvin Hargreaves's voice came again.
"Don't come up yet, bring some fruit up here!"
With that, Alvin Hargreaves hung up.
After parking the car, Ruby Mercer walked to the fruit shop across the hospital!
When visiting the sick, she indeed should bring something.
Besides, his injury was her doing!
With a beautiful fruit basket and some fresh fruits, she went upstairs.
But as she pushed open the ward door and saw the man standing backlit by the window, Ruby Mercer felt a chill run through her!
Her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
She wanted to die!
Disappear on the spot!
Or a social death right here!
But none were possible!
The atmosphere in the ward was weirdly cold and silent.
Sneaking a glance at the man's expression, though surrounded by sunlight, it still made one feel like they were in an icebox.
Ruby Mercer swallowed, looking at a tense and alert Alvin Hargreaves on the bed, instantly sensing the strange vibe between them.
She tried to appear calm, "You two chat first, I'll come back later!"
Putting down the fruits in her hand, she was ready to leave.
"Go ahead! Come find me later!"
Afterward, he nervously glanced at Christopher Moore, noticing his gaze on Ruby Mercer.
While he pondered the meaning in Christopher Moore's eyes, the man spoke.
"Hold on!"
"Are you Mrs. Hargreaves?"
Alvin Hargreaves's face sank!
Ruby Mercer froze in her tracks!
Christopher Moore grinned maliciously, walking towards the coffee table, looking at the fruits there, glancing at Ruby Mercer at the door, and finally locking eyes with the puzzled Alvin Hargreaves.
"This apple looks quite tempting!"
Alvin Hargreaves's confusion grew, "Mr. Moore, you..."
Ruby Mercer swallowed nervously.
Christopher Moore coldly pursed his lips, sitting on the sofa, "I came all the way to check on President Hargreaves, and this is how I'm welcomed?"
Saying so, the man crossed his long and powerful legs, looking intriguingly at the fruits on the coffee table.
"You're injured and in bed, so I won't ask you to do anything, but..."
He turned to Alvin Hargreaves, "Aren't you going to ask your wife to peel some fruit for me?"
He then raised an eyebrow pointedly, "Or is this how the Hargreaves Corporation treats its guests?"
Alvin Hargreaves's eyes tightened, being seasoned in business, he couldn't miss the threat in his words!
But hearing the words "hold no grudges," he instantly sighed in relief.
That night he drugged and set Christopher Moore up, but the woman he sent over got sent back by his assistant. In no time, the whole floor was sealed, and he was kicked out of the club!
Afterward, despite all his resources and connections, he couldn't figure out what happened that night in the club.
Not just him, all the media was told that the Supremacy Club was closed for renovations.
After two nights and a day without word from Christopher Moore about settling the score, he thought the matter was over!
Unexpectedly, it wasn't over; it was just delayed.
When he saw Christopher Moore walking in earlier, he instantly felt his good days were numbered.
Originally, he planned to gather dirt on Christopher Moore's indiscretions with women to gain some advantage in the cooperation with Moore Cloud, but instead, he suffered a loss, ending up in the hospital because of Ruby Mercer.
Seeing Christopher Moore glance at Ruby Mercer, he felt a surge of discomfort.
He'd only realized the night before that Ruby Mercer was a seductress with an enchanting look that captivated men, especially with those innocent, clear almond eyes that could captivate any man at first sight. Without realizing, he had fallen for her spells and got himself in this mess.
With a hint of a sarcastic smile, Christopher Moore continued, "But if I'm not too offended, I'll pay a visit to President Hargreaves!"
Saying so, he looked at the fruit basket on the table with an ambiguous expression.
"You're lying in bed injured, so I won't ask you to do anything, but..."
He said, raising an eyebrow and implying, "Is this how Hargreaves Corporation treats guests?"
Alvin Hargreaves's face turned grave. He took a sigh of relief upon hearing "no hard feelings," remembering how he had tried to frame Christopher Moore by drugging him that night. But the woman he sent got rejected by Christopher Moore's assistant. The whole floor was closed off immediately, and he was kicked out of the Supremacy Club!
After that, even with all his connections, he couldn't find out what happened that night at the club.
Not a word from Christopher Moore in the two days since, so Alvin thought the matter had blown over!
Little did he know, it wasn't over yet!
Now, seeing the deliberate attention Christopher Moore was giving Ruby Mercer, it made him realize the woman was a temptress—a face designed to bewitch a man—especially her pure, clear almond eyes that captured his heart at first glance, leading him to this dire situation.
Suppressing a surge of annoyance, he forced a smile and addressed the doorway where Ruby Mercer stood, "It seems I have been an inadequate host!"
With a forced smile, he ordered Ruby Mercer, "Why don't you bring Mr. Moore some fruit!"
