Only you in my love novel Chapter 497

The smile on Ruby's face slowly receded. "What? Are you kidding me, Nina? You're such a kind person. How could you make such an excessive request?"

"Am I kidding?" There was a gentle smile on Nina's face, making it difficult to tell what she was really thinking.

Ruby clenched her teeth and forced a friendly smile. "I have come here to sincerely apologize to you."

"But I'm not kidding, Ruby." Nina narrowed her eyes and played with Van in her arms. A mother's tenderness appeared on her face, but her words were as icy as winter rain. "If you've really come to apologize sincerely like you claim, then kneel down."

This time, the smile on Ruby's face completely disappeared. "You've gone too far."

Nina turned her head at her and said, "But not as far as you and your husband have. Do you think we don't know what you and Jett are up to? We're always on guard against the two of you. Don't disturb us and our children again. The next time you so much as set foot in our castle grounds, I will personally make sure that you never get to use your damn feet again."

Nina especially stressed the last sentence. John, who was standing beside Nina, vigilantly watched Ruby who only knew how to dress up and stir intrigue.

Ruby's voice was not as confident as before. She forced another smile and replied, "I don't really know what you're talking about. It's understandable that you don't want to forgive us, but you can't blame us for what we haven't done. Also, this castle belongs to the Nangong family, and that makes myself and my husband entitled to come and go as we please."

"Yes, I guess you're right." Nina nodded. "If that's the case, then I'll just make some changes. If you show up before me and my children, then I'll beat you to a pulp."

Ruby was so angry that her face turned livid. She could no longer bear it. "I'm not planning to do anything. Why will you beat me?"

"Do I need a reason to beat someone? If you really want a reason, then I think you are an eyesore." Nina handed Van to John and slowly approached Ruby.

Her eyes automatically darted to the sapphire necklace around Ruby's neck.

"I don't play games when it comes to people I care about. You plot against me or my family, and you're good as gone."

"What do you mean? We've never thought of harming you or your family. You're being paranoid." Ruby stepped back in fear.

Nina put her hand on Ruby's shoulder so that the latter was unable to move. She said in a calm, deliberate voice, "I know that Jett has always wanted to become the count. For years, he's been trying to get rid of Vicente and now that Vicente has heirs, he's planning on taking them out, too, to cut the line of succession short. I strongly advise you two to give up this idea while you still have the chance, or I'll pool my substantial resources and find out the truth about Vicki's death. You know the law of C Island. Are you prepared to see your husband wait around on death row?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Feeling panic set in, Ruby pushed Nina away. "I don't know what happened to Vicki."

"Your husband knows. You can ask him when you get home and tell him what I said." Nina smiled meaningfully.

When Ruby got home, she indeed told Jett what Nina had said. She watched as malice and hatred filled her husband's eyes.

"What did Nina mean by that? Didn't Vicki die by accident?" she asked.

Jett snapped, "It's none of your business. I asked you to do one thing, and you couldn't do it. Instead, you got scared and ran away. Don't you want us to succeed?"

"Of course I want us to succeed. And why are you being angry with me? I did what you asked." Ruby was already pissed because of Nina. Even her husband was scolding her now. She continued angrily, "If you were sure that I couldn't do it, then maybe you should've just done it yourself. Oh, wait. You couldn't either because you are unable to get close to the twins."

Hearing this, Jett snorted, "You're useless. Get out!"

"Fine!" Ruby yelled. She was starting to lose her temper. "I've always known that you don't care about me at all. All you care about is money, power, and your mistress!"

She pulled the sapphire necklace off her neck and threw it at Jett. "You even gave her the very same necklace that you gave me. I will wring her neck when I get my hands on her."
