The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 682

"Mrs. Massey!"

Ruth could hardly believe it when someone called out to her eagerly. As the woman approached, she even instinctively took a step back.

But the woman had already linked arms with her. Then, she said with a bright smile, "You're finally here! Everyone's been waiting for you!"

"Waiting for me? Why?" Ruth asked in a strained voice.

To be honest, the scene felt oddly familiar.

Back in her school days, she had seen this play out countless times—someone smiling, all "friendly", as they lured their target to a specific spot. Then, the real fun would begin. It was just that, back then, Ruth was usually the one waiting while others delivered the target to her.

Now that the roles were reversed, all she felt was a deep, gnawing unease. In fact, she had sensed something was off when she received the invitation call earlier.

After all, her lies about being close friends with Noelle had already been exposed at the auction. In the past few days, she had even been kicked out of group chats. Yet today, they had reached out to her first. That alone was suspicious.

Still, Ruth came anyway. After all, the other attendees were all people of status, and she was a pregnant woman. So no matter what, surely they wouldn't resort to physical violence, right?

As these thoughts ran through her mind, they had already pulled her into a private room. The moment she saw who was inside, her eyes widened slightly.

"Hello, Ruth." Dressed in a custom-made dress, Noelle smiled at Ruth gently from her seat. "We've all been waiting for you."

Ruth stared at the scene before her, expression frozen.
