The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 377

In short, something had always felt completely off about them.

Plus, piecing together random details over the years, Aaron recalled Margaret mentioning that the twins were born premature and had barely survived in incubators. It wasn't that they were stupid, but they operated entirely on pure greed and instant gratification. They had zero emotional intelligence and constantly blurted out whatever came to mind without a filter.

Aaron figured this was actually a massive advantage. It made them far easier to manipulate than smart people. A little casual fishing wouldn't seem suspicious, and if he caught something, it would be a massive win.

A moment later, Ruby finally asked, "Aaron, does Jamie know something?"

Aaron replied in a deeply earnest tone, "Not at all. Ultimately, it's just a wild guess on my part..."

Ruby fell silent again before suddenly pivoting, "Okay, well... Aaron, could you do me a favor? Could you put in a good word with my crew leader and get me more screen time? I really can't survive like this much longer."

Aaron blinked. That was a fast subject change. He paused, putting on a highly conflicted expression.

"I'd have to clear that with Mr. Baylor first. Those industry people only listen to his orders; they couldn't care less what an assistant like me says."

Honestly, as an assistant, Aaron was giving this job 110%.

"Are you serious?! Aaron!"

Hearing this, Ruby's face instantly lit up. The misery vanished, replaced by sheer, unadulterated joy. She immediately started rambling, "I was just stressing out because the guy my mom tried to set me up with is old and ugly! I mean, sure, he's loaded, and I love money, but I prefer a guy who's hot and rich!"

Listening to her delusional fantasies, Aaron suppressed his cringe and maintained a dead-serious expression. "Of course. I would never lie to you. Your sister was incredibly kind to me when she was alive, and I could tell she cared about you a lot. Naturally, I'm more than willing to help you out. My own power is limited, but I can definitely put in a great word for you with Mr. Baylor."
