Chapter 493
No one knew what Ruby had been enduring during this time.
And no one knew what kind of torment she was suffering now.
Summer still expected Ruby to save her.
But here in Eirden, Ruby could not even pull herself out of her own mess, let alone solve it.
Good.
Very good.
Stella really did have that kind of power now.
“Felix actually went this far for you?” Ruby’s voice came through the phone, sharp with hatred. “What kind of spell did you put on him?”
Hearing Ruby drag Felix into this, Stella let out a cold laugh.
“A spell? If anyone in Harbour City knows how to cast spells, it’s you, Ruby.
“You spent half your life being the other woman, then raised a daughter who destroys other people’s families. What right do you have to accuse anyone else of using tricks?”
Spells?
Please.
How many married men had Ruby been involved with when she was young?
Everyone in Harbour City knew exactly why her business had always gone so smoothly.
And now she had the nerve to accuse someone else of using dirty tricks?
Had she forgotten the road she took to get where she was?
Stella’s words were merciless.
On the other end of the line, Ruby was so furious that her blood seemed to run backward.
“You…”
“Mrs. Bailey, did you forget how shameful your own past was?”
“Shut up!”
Ruby was driven completely mad with rage.
When had Stella become this sharp-tongued?
At that moment, Ruby was so angry that her temples throbbed.
“You think Felix can protect you forever? His family will never accept you.
“When they find out, do you really think you’ll still be able to rely on him?”
Ruby had been in Eirden this whole time, so she had no idea what had happened in Harbour City.

Even now, she was still trying to threaten Stella.
Stella said, “Whether I can rely on him is none of your business. But you had so many men before, Ruby. How did you end up with no one to rely on now?”
No matter what Ruby said, Stella could always strike back.
Ruby exploded. “Stella Rowan!”
“Did I hit a nerve?”
Hadn’t Ruby been so arrogant before?
Of course she had.
In the past, Ruby had always been the one watching other people lose control.
Now, it was finally her turn.
Ruby’s breathing grew ragged. “What exactly did you do to me?”
She no longer wanted to argue with Stella about anything else.
She only wanted to know what Stella had done to push her to the brink of defeat.
Stella said, “Guess.”
Ruby fell silent.
“You must really want to tell the Hernandez family about Felix and me right now, don’t you?” Stella said. “Looks like you and your daughter don’t share information very well.”
Ruby gritted her teeth. “What do you mean?”
“Dora went to the Felix family twice to tell them about me and Felix. Guess what happened?”
“What happened?”
“She didn’t even make it through the front door.”
Ruby froze.
Her mind buzzed violently.
Dora had gone twice, and she had not even managed to meet the Hernandez family?
Ruby’s breathing grew more and more uneven.
“So what you’re saying is, I can’t do anything to you now?”
“Yes.”
Ruby fell silent.
