Ruby Mercer was on her way back to Imperial Garden at the moment.
"What now?"
Alvin Hargreaves cleared his throat, "Call me when you miss me in the future, don't torture yourself!"
"Your fair body is covered with bruises, it looks terrible!"
After saying this, he didn't give Ruby Mercer another chance to talk about divorce and hung up directly.
Ruby Mercer was stunned by the call!
So what?
What does Alvin mean?
Want to reconcile with him?
"Impossible!"
Even if she was dirty, she didn't want him anymore!
She was deeply hurt; she feared the days of waiting every day!
Or does he believe that the marks on her body come from her self-torture?
Moore Cloud.
Christopher Moore called Kenneth Morgan into his office.
"Put a hold on the three ongoing projects with Hargreaves Corporation, the project we were about to sign, I'll handle it myself!"
Kenneth Morgan immediately nodded, "Okay!"
Looks like Alvin Hargreaves is headed for a rough patch!
At the door, Kenneth Morgan couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Boss, what's this about?"
Are these projects being stopped?
They're like an endless stream of cash!
Christopher Moore was signing documents, not even looking up as he replied, "I want Alvin Hargreaves to personally send her to my bed!"
Kenneth Morgan swallowed hard, holding back the words "bastard."
"As long as you're happy!"
"Just don't regret it!"
Christopher Moore then looked up at him, "Get lost!"
"I heard you coax women by sleeping with them?"
Kenneth Morgan's brow twitched, "Boss, can we use a different term?"
Christopher Moore, "..."
Kenneth Morgan, "Fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot!"
Christopher Moore, "Get out!"
Mentioning the bed...
It made him uncomfortable!
He couldn't fight at the head of the bed, couldn't make up at the foot!
That morning around ten, Alvin Hargreaves received a call from his assistant Humphrey, saying that Moore Cloud had canceled all agreements with Hargreaves Group, and even the project they were preparing to sign had been shelved.
Fuming, Alvin Hargreaves directly threw his phone!
"Bastard!"
He knew that Christopher Moore wouldn't let things slide easily like this!
What exactly does he want?
Want an explanation for the drugging incident?
Fine!
Isn't it just an apology?
He'd apologize!
Looking at the phone thrown far away, he moved a bit, the pain was piercing!
"Heartless woman, wait until I recover to deal with you!"
Unable to get out of bed, he could only press the hospital's emergency bell, waiting for a nurse to pick up the phone for him.
The nurse handed the phone back to him, finally looking at him with a flushed face and an inexplicable glance.
That gaze made Alvin Hargreaves tense all over.
Later, he warned himself not to get excited, or else he'd end up suffering the most!
Eventually, after managing to calm himself down, he immediately found Christopher Moore's number to call.
Just when he'd prepared a big pile of apologies, his call was abruptly hung up!
He tried three more times!
But each time, it was hung up!
Looking at the call that was immediately cut off, Alvin Hargreaves threw his phone again in anger; this time, the force was so great that the screen shattered.
Moore Cloud.
Kenneth Morgan looked at his boss's action of hanging up and couldn't help but sneer.
"Boss, how long has it been since you behaved so childishly?"
Christopher Moore put the phone aside, "Since I was three!"
Kenneth Morgan's mouth twitched.
Boss, didn't you catch my drift?
I didn't mean for you to answer seriously!
Christopher Moore, "Process the surveillance on 'Westwater City,' just in case Alvin Hargreaves checks the surveillance over there!"
"Even though Alvin is a scumbag, his brain is still decent!"
If Alvin checks the surveillance to see whether Ruby Mercer returned home that night, things might be revealed directly.
She's not ready yet; he doesn't want any problems!
Kenneth Morgan, "Understood!"
"Boss, are you so sure Alvin only loves his empire and not his woman?"
Christopher Moore recalled Alvin's examination report and sneered, "He probably won't be loving any woman for the next three months!"
Kenneth Morgan snickered, "True!"
"By the way, that Miss Mercer is really quite ruthless!"
"A man's delicate area, she dared to kick!"
Christopher Moore's eyes smiled, "Good kick!"
"He deserved it!"
Kenneth Morgan's eyes narrowed mischievously, "Boss, why do you think Miss Mercer kicked Alvin?"
Christopher Moore glanced at Kenneth Morgan, "Speak if you must!"
Kenneth Morgan cleared his throat, sizing up Christopher from head to toe, "Considering the amount of drug in the Boss, you must have been rough with Miss Mercer, and there must have been marks left; do you think Alvin hasn't noticed what happened between Miss Mercer and you...?"
Christopher Moore squinted his eyes, "He probably hasn't discovered it yet!"
Actually, this question had crossed his mind when he learned Ruby left Westwater City.
Today's visit to Alvin was partly to confirm this and partly to see her, hint at some things between them.
Judging by Alvin's behavior today, he likely hadn't discovered her losing herself.
"Moreover, from previous investigations, Ruby replaced her sister Wendy in marrying Alvin, and their relationship is extremely bad; however, upon seeing today, Alvin isn't entirely devoid of feelings for Ruby—at least, he was jealous of me and Ruby today!"
Kenneth Morgan was puzzled, "Could it be Alvin doesn't want a divorce?"
Christopher Moore's face turned grim, still insisting, "Whether to divorce or not, he doesn't get to decide!"
"It's a must!" Otherwise, why would he meddle in this mess for no reason?
Kenneth Morgan took the documents and prepared to leave, reminding him at the door, "Boss, coming from someone with experience, I remind you: don't drive a woman into desperation. If you push a woman too far, there are only two outcomes: one, collapse! Two, resentment!"
"I assure you, you won't be able to handle either!"
Kenneth Morgan mischievously raised an eyebrow at him, "Especially when you end up with nothing!"
"Boss, you know what I mean..."
Christopher Moore's eyes flashed, "I don't understand!"
Then the man awkwardly took the file on the side and started reading, "Leave!"
"I don't need you teaching me how to have a romance!"
He understood Kenneth Morgan's point.
In the end, neither outcome is easy to handle!
Kenneth Morgan held a mischievous grin, "Once a man has tasted the pleasures, he can't quit; only men understand a man's hardship, so don't hold back!"
Christopher Moore squinted dangerously, "..."
Kenneth Morgan, "Boss, you should know what I mean; hurry up and start a relationship, so you don't have to work overtime at the company every day, and we don't have to keep you company every day!"
Christopher Moore, "Get out!"
This time, Kenneth Morgan took the documents and disappeared faster than a rabbit!
He was afraid if he delayed, he would have more materials in his arms!
Christopher Moore stood and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Capital City.
Capital City is so small, and yet all this time I've never met you. If only you weren't already married, then I could boldly pursue you, fiercely and domineeringly hold you, and even use a project to ask the Mercer Family for you.
Powerless as I am now, it takes such a long plan just to see you.
"Ruby Mercer…"
