"You ...... " Declan just wanted to get close to Ruby, just as he opened his mouth, Ruby took out her mobile phone with her head down, looked at it, and walked away while answering the phone.
Declan's raised hand froze in mid-air as he watched Ruby walk away, his face full of pity.
"Dad, why are you calling me at this time? Is there something wrong?" A cold smile played at the corners of Ruby's mouth, but her tone was tinged with care.
Spencer was comforted and felt more and more that Ruby was far, far better than Rita.
The Harold family has been in trouble until now, Rita has not even concerned about him, and he has not even been able to see her. It was Ruby who not only cared for him, but also tried every possible way to convince Levi to help.
Unfortunately, that man, Levi, has no intention of helping at all.
"Ruby, do you have time today? Can you come home? I miss you, so many things have happened at home recently and there's no one at home." Spencer said with a sigh, his tone carrying a few moments of despondency.
"Sure, I'll be back later then." Ruby agreed with great alacrity.
After hanging up the phone, she gave a dismissive sneer before turning around and going to get her car.
"Miss Harold, are you going out?" Declan greeted hurriedly when he saw Ruby walking back.
"Yes, something came up and I had to do with it." Ruby nodded politely.
It was not yet certain whether the Declan was Lone Wolf or not, and it was not good for her to ask directly now, lest she might alarm him, so it was always right to make good relations first.
Lone Wolf is one of the top international mercenaries, and as long as he takes on the orders, he never misses it.
Unfortunately, the man hadn't taken on an assignment for some years.
Ruby has recently had a very important assignment at the Institute that she needs to find a reliable person to take on, and after thinking about it, only Lone Wolf actually meets her requirements.
This is an important reason why she showed up at the Starry Night Club, looking for Lone Wolf.
"Do you need a ride?" Declan was enthusiastic and raised the car keys in his hand.
Ruby looked down at the car keys she held in her hand and smiled politely at Declan.
Declan saw this before scratching his head, "Right, I forgot you have a car yourself."
"I'll leave first, Mr. Bell, in any chance, let's drink together." Ruby said to Declan and got into the car to leave.
It was already two hours later when she arrived at the destination.
Since the accident, the house looks much more depressed and the flowers and plants inside are left untended and growing very rough.
Ruby glanced at the door as she entered, no extra emotion in her eyes.
The mansion originally belonged to the Grant family. When Spencer married Nellie, Grandpa gave this old mansion to Nellie as a dowry, but he never expected that Nellie would end up being entrusted with the wrong person, not only to his own detriment, but also to the detriment of Grandpa and Grandma.
Ruby looked at the overgrown flower garden and the corners of her lips curled before she stepped inside.
As soon as Spencer saw Ruby return, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face: "Ruby, you're back. Are you tired? What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you home for a long time, have you been with Levi lately?"
"Dad, if you have anything you want to say, just tell me directly, no need to beat around the bush, we are family." Ruby looked at Spencer in a good manner and spoke thoughtfully.
Spencer rubbed his hands together, his face full of relief, "Actually, it's nothing, I just hope you can do me a favour."
