Damien was left stunned after Ruby slapped him. He looked at her, his heart filled with an indescribable chill. Although this younger sister of his had always shown him disdain, they were, after all, the closest in blood among their siblings. Recalling the harmony between Elaine and Zendaya, Damien couldn’t help. but laugh bitterly.
“Do you understand what you’re doing? He’s getting engaged in a few days, and you’re involved in an inappropriate relationship with a man who’s already committed.”
“What’s it to you! Why are you so annoying? What’s wrong with me liking to be with Oliver?” Ruby was trying to help Oliver up from the ground while berating Damien, “Don’t think just because we share the same mother, you can boss me around.”
Damien took a deep breath, then turned his gaze to Oliver. At that moment, Oliver was in such he was twitching, yet he still managed to glare fiercely at Damien, his eyes filled with mockery.

Damien was instantly consumed by rage. If this despicable person wasn’t his aunt’s son, he would have seriously considered murder.
“He was with you purely to embarrass me, to get back at me. Do you really think he liked you?”
Oliver didn’t bother to explain. He could take Ruby to her beloved entertainment industry, showcasing her current beauty. He was also the one who ignited Ruby’s resentment toward Damien, giving her the opportunity to upset Damien. All these were enough to make Ruby cling to him, entwining their lives. inextricably.
Whether she loved him or not, it truly didn’t matter. If she did, how could she possibly stand by and watch him marry someone else?
Hence, Damien’s interrogations were only met with Ruby’s mockery.
Ruby deliberately provoked Damien with words she knew he wouldn’t like to hear. “I don’t care whether Oliver loves me or not. As long as I love him, that’s enough. I’m willing to be his lover. I just like him. And yes, I despise you. So what?”
Observing Ruby’s smug demeanor, it was as if she was delighting in Damien’s change of expression. She was thrilled, her stubbornness and refusal to change were nothing short of astonishing.
Damien wouldn’t let these two fools walk all over him. He abandoned the idea of educating them and went straight for a warning.
“Fine,” he warned, “If you don’t end this relationship, I tell Mom about you getting involved in the entertainment industry and him.”
Initially, Damien threatened Ruby, then quickly turned his attention to Oliver, saying, “Aunt Lydia may not care about your reckless behavior outside, but Ruby’s mother is, after all, her former sister–in–law. Do you think she would let you mess with Ruby like this? So if you lay a finger on my sister again, I’ll let Aunt Lydia know about this”
Striking at their sore points naturally triggered a backlash. The ensuing barrage of curses left Damien feeling extremely agitated.
Damien directly seized Ruby’s arm, dragging her away

After he finished speaking, he ushered Ruby into the car and drove her straight back to the Willis
Tesidence.
Upon returning to the Willis residence, Ruby foolishly clung to Ava, whimpering about how Damien had mistreated her.
As a result, Ava launched into a tirade against Damien Without even asking for an explanation. “Unbelievable,” she raged. “So you’re going to take over the Winters family in the future, and that’s why you’re disregarding us now, is it?”
“Mom.” I disciplined my sister because she made a mistake. If you keep spoiling her like this, she’s going to make a big mistake.”
Perhaps as a mother, she should have sought clarity. But looking at Damien’s face, she was so frustrated she didn’t know where to start. “If your sister made a mistake, it must be your fault. You were born to be our family’s curse!”
Here it was again. Damien had heard it so many times that he had become numb to it. He knew all too well that communication with his mother was impossibile. All he could do was turn around and leave.
Mom, you should keep a close eye on Ruby, She’s been associating with some shady characters lately?
Ruby instantly exploded into a cunning argument, and even Ava seemed to share her adversarial stance. However, Damien had already lost interest in listening.
Watching him about to leave the mansion, Ava finally swallowed her anger and abruptly spoke up. “Hey, I want to ask you something. Is Lydia planning to officially announce you as the heir during the engagement party, and have you work under her from then on?”
Damien paused in his tracks, guessing that Ava was likely about to use him again to gain advantages from the Willis family.
“I’m not certain. Besides, it seems to have nothing to do with you. You’ve already left the Winters family.”
Ava fell silent. When Damien glanced back, he saw her face was terribly gloomy, almost as if she was glaring at him like a malevolent spirit.
Damien’s heart froze over once again. He understood clearly that Ava couldn’t stand to see him doing well. The better he performed, the angrier she became, as if his success was achieved at the expense of the family’s fortune and health. He had never imagined that someone could be so deeply entrenched in superstition.
After all, he was disappointed enough not to care anymore.
Damien left in silence.
Ruby was worried about being interrogated by Ava, so she seized the opportunity to complain, “Mom, look at his attitude, he’s so disrespectful toward you, and he even hit me and Oliver today. Who knows how he will treat us if he becomes the head of the Winters family in the future?”
Ava was taken aback, promptly exclaiming in shock, “What? He hit you?”
Ruby knew that Ava detested Damien. In fact, Ava treated Oliver, who was from her former in–laws‘ family,

better. She wouldn’t even bother to give Damien a glance.
Therefore, Ruby was not afraid to mention Oliver.
