At this moment, hearing Ruby's cries for help, Celeste and Derek came out of the kitchen.
It was true; Christopher appeared behind Ruby and gripped her throat.
"Trying to call for reinforcements?"
"No way!"
Ruby was held by Christopher, trying to go downstairs in an awkward position, but was unable to because she was being held by the neck.
Derek looked at the two at the stairway, not only not helping Ruby, but instead gave Christopher a signal.
"Give her a good lesson, we absolutely won't help!"
Celeste chimed in, "Right, even if someone dies today, we will pretend not to hear!"
Saying this, Celeste pulled Derek back into the kitchen, waving them off, "You go settle accounts!"
"Make a good reckoning!"
"Just don't kill her!"
Ruby was so angry her face turned red and her neck thickened, "You must be stepfather and stepmother!"
"I mean being adopted, right?"
Celeste replied, "Exactly!"
"From now on Christopher is my son, and you were picked up!"
