"Ruby, I remember your words. You said that you would work hard to provide a good life for your family."
"Now, your family is leading a better life than others. They live in a villa."
Aleigha's faint smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, and there was a touch of coldness.
"Miss Gardner, excuse me? No. I don't know."
Ruby's heart was pounding lunatically, and she could not calm down at all.
"You don't know? Enormous sums of money flowed into your bank account from time to time, and you transferred them to another account quickly."
"You have nothing in your name, but your family owns limos and villas."
"Don't try to fool me."
Aleigha did some investigation on Ruby, besides what Mill told her.
Out of question, Ruby betrayed her long ago.
"Miss Gardner, you promised those money from
Leona."
"That's all I get, and there is nothing else."
Ruby trembled slightly. She braced herself up now and responded quickly.
"Is that so? I made a mistake? Well, let's hear what your family said."
Aleigha produced a video in which the Forsters bragged about what Ruby had done to their neighbors.
Ruby felt desperate and needed some time to collect herself.
"Miss Gardner. There is some misunderstanding. I didn't help Leona. I, I was just greedy."
"How dare you!"
Aleigha banged the desk and threw a stack of documents at Ruby.
"My company lost several projects in the competition with Leona."
"Last month, Lennon got that German project at the critical moment."
"I dare you to say that you are innocent!"
"Well, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. I will satisfy you."
Then, Aleigha took out a small jewelry box from the drawer and the gold ring in it.
"You got this ring from Leona, didn't you? She told you to take it to me." "She said it belonged to Samantha, didn't she?"
"But you know what, it is a legacy from my mother. And I put it in her cinerary casket after she died."
"Leona was trying to tell me that she didn't spare my mother's cremains."
In the past few days, Aleigha pretended well. She didn't even mention a word before Adrian.
She did this to convince Ruby and make both Leona and Samantha to pay a price.
"No, I don't know. I really don't know." Ruby was in a panic.
Large tears fell down like beads.
She would never present that ring to Aleigha only if she knew the story behind it.
"You don't know! Damn it! You don't know what you are doing! You are helping Leona to go against me!"
"What will you say now?"
Shaking her head, Ruby cried so hard that she couldn't utter a word.
"Take her away. I don't want to see her again."
Aleigha waved her hand with agitation. She sat on the chair after Mill led Ruby away.
"Aleigha, why didn't you tell me?"
