At these words, Solomon was stunned and looked puzzled: "You mean ......"
He didn't finish his sentence, his eyes glancing suspiciously between Ruby and Levi for a moment.
After a few moments, as if he was sure, he looked odd, before raising his voice in laughter, his brow covered in sarcasm.
"Ha, ha, ha! I told you, this is her karma! Who told her to break up with the Henderson family in the first place and to stop me from killing that old thing Zach! She simply deserves to die now! God can't even stand it! He's going to take her away! Haha ......"
He mocked with abandon, as if he were extraordinarily happy.
Ruby’s cold eyes narrowed, a dangerous aura of precision floating at the bottom of her eyes, her tightly pursed lips indicating her patience.
"Solomon, the only reason I let you go was because of Grandma, if she hadn't wanted to see something happen to you, you might have been dead by now, but ......"
"It's not like I can't lay hands on you, I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say, do I?"
Being threatened by a junior like that, Solomon's face was pale.
"Humph! Ruby, don't forget that you still have to beg me! The mother compulsion of the Human Face Compulsion is in my hands!"
At that, Ruby snorted and said carelessly, "You seem to have misunderstood, that is not that I am begging you, but that you must obey me, otherwise, I can’t guarantee what the Henderson family will suffer."
She didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Solomon, if you say one more word, I will now make you speechless for the rest of your life, get lost."
Solomon had never been treated like this before, and his face was immediately hardened to the extreme.
His eyes were gloomy and he looked very resentful, but in the end he said nothing more, grunted and turned to stride away.
Ruby withdrew her gaze with a cold face and turned her head to look at Levi.
Before she could say anything, Levi said in a warm voice as if he could read her mind, "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to keep a close eye on him, I will tell you if anything happens."
Ruby's lips were pursed as she nodded gently.
It didn't take long for her to adjust her mood and take the old lady to the funeral home.
On this day, Levi helped her with the old lady's funeral, as he said he would, while she was responsible for informing people.
The old lady did not have many friends and relatives in the capital during her lifetime, so there were not many people to notify.
Instead, Raphael, Benjamin, and some of her old friends in the capital all called to comfort her, saying they would be there the next day.
In the evening, Ruby did not go back to the hotel, but stayed at the funeral home.
Levi coaxed her to eat something, his eyes covered with heartache.
In the past two days, she had lost a lot of weight, and her face was even smaller.
He was suddenly immensely grateful that he could be by her side at this moment, bearing her pain with her.
If she had been on her own, he could not imagine how hard it would have been for her to face all this.
"Right." Thinking about the matter of Sea City, he hesitated and asked, "How is the situation over at Kevin's side?"
Ruby had little appetite and could not eat after barely drinking a bowl of porridge.
She wiped her mouth and nodded, "I called Finlay, Kevin's condition is still stable now, he can last a few days, I also gave him medicine before I left, it can be taken at a critical moment to temporarily renew his life."
As she said that, she gave a pause and her eyes were firm, "Kevin can definitely do it, he's my brother, he can definitely do it."
Having said that, he pulled Benjamin away.
Not long after, Layton also came, first comforting her, then wanting to say something.
She did not care about his expression and turned her head to make arrangements for the funeral.
After a while, all the people who had come to offer their condolences left, leaving only Ruby and Levi in the mourning hall.
At this time, Ruby's mobile phone rang and it was Evans calling.
"Help me offer an incense to the old lady." Over the phone, Evans's voice was despondent, "It's respect I have for her, I'm over here with Olivia now, so I won't be going over."
Ruby gave a faint "hmm" and asked, "You didn't tell Olivia, did you?"
"No, I guess you won't let me tell her, if you do, you would have informed me to take Olivia to the capital."
"Keep it from her for now." Ruby pinched her brow, tired, "Olivia is still recovering and her autism is only just getting better, it's not advisable to go back and forth, let alone have too many emotional ups and downs. She's close to grandma and would not be able to bear it knowing that she's gone."
Evans: "But she will know sooner or later, when do you plan to tell her?"
Ruby was silent for a moment and said lightly, "When I return, I will find a suitable time."
With that, she said with concern, "How is Olivia doing now?"
Evans sighed: "Recovered well, just lonely, and misses you and Levi as well as the old lady."
Hearing that, Ruby's throat became slightly squeamish.
She was about to say something, but she suddenly heard, from the front of the mourning hall, a chaotic noise.
