Chapter 1540 The Assault
While Ruby stared at Kyle, the emotions in her eyes intensified and her body began trembling uncontrollably. “I-It’s you… It’s you!”
“What are you saying, Mom?”
Sally immediately walked over and held her hand tightly.
“He ruined me! Evan ruined me! He ruined me!” Despite her agitation, Ruby’s speech was exceptionally clear.
Kyle was stunned.
It was true that he looked like his father and had a similar demeanor. Did she take me for my father?
“Mom, who did you say he is?”
“He’s the devil!”
Sally fell silent.
Does she think that Kyle is Evan? Doesn’t this prove that Mom still clearly remembers the person who assaulted her back then? Evan was probably around Kyle’s age when that happened. If she’s accusing him now, it’s equivalent to accusing Evan.
Sally glared at Kyle furiously. “What else do you want to prove?”
Kyle was shocked too. It’s not my father who assaulted Ruby, but why can she remember what he looked like?
“Did Evan really hurt you back then?”
When Kyle asked that, Ruby had a mental breakdown. She hugged her pillow tightly. Those events that she never wanted to bring up and the scenes of that traumatic memory appeared in her mind…
That devilish man was drunk. Without any warning, he dragged her, who was just passing by, into the room roughly. Ignoring her struggles to break free, he kissed her and gripped her tightly.
Terrified, she resisted with all her might. Upset at her disobedience, the man slapped her a few times. He used so much force that she was dazed for a while.
Fear, helplessness and panic overwhelmed her. She felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She did not even dare to raise her head and look at Steven, fearing his reaction. Just from the words he uttered, she could detect the disgust in his tone. She was afraid to meet his furious and revolted gaze.
She knew that at that moment, the Ruby whom Steven loved had died.
She, who had zero tolerance for infidelity, could not accept herself. Naturally, she did not expect Steven to do that too.
Steven did not even wish to say a single word. On that fearful night, she felt like she had died.
Steven’s expression was grim. When he was about to say something, someone pushed the door open and in walked Riley. When he saw the disheveled Ruby, he was shocked.
“What happened?”
“Get lost!” bellowed Steven.
Evan! Did Evan do this? Did he do something like this just to take revenge on me for snatching the Seet Group’s project away?
Steven immediately squatted and stared at her. With bloodshot eyes, he demanded, “Is it true? Was it Evan?”
