Both of them had their own skeletons in their closets, and so, the conversation came to an end. Neither of them spoke about Mr. Kallan or the custom-made rings again. Ruth went back to business and talked about DH. She thanked Abel for helping her check the recording and supporting her in front of Luna. Abel adopted a stern expression. “I’m sorry. I didn’t take care of this properly.”“It’s not your fault. Who would have thought they would do something so out of left field? But, now that things have ended up in such a mess, I’ll take care of it myself.” She already had a plan. Abel did not refuse to let her do it. He just nodded. “Alright.”This entire mess boiled down to DH’s staff members acting audaciously and lying to their superiors. He had to show some respect to Philip, which was why he sent the recording to DH in Ruth’s name—he wanted to give them another chance. If they apologized and dealt with this matter properly so that Ruth was satisfied with it, he would no
The next day, Ruth had nothing to do in the morning, so she could finally sleep in. However, a phone call woke her up.It was an unknown landline number, and the caller’s voice was sweet and formal. “Hello, Ms. Lockton. I’m a staff member from DH’s headquarters. We’ve received your complaint, and we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience that resulted from our mistake. We’ve made the decision to offer you an annual discount card. I would like to introduce you to this card. Do you have time for it?”Ruth’s drowsy mind cleared up. “An annual discount card?”“Yes.”Then, the woman started to introduce the card.Ruth did not pay attention to the speech, but found their actions even more unpleasant.Did they think such a huge mistake could be settled with an annual discount card?“Is this your final solution?” Ruth interrupted in a cold voice.Since Ruth had just woken up, she did not sound imposing, and her voice was soft. The staff thought Ruth wanted to take the opport
After hanging up, Ruth tapped on the unknown number and saved it under the name Puppy Pearl.Ruth had woken up on the wrong side of the bed because of the call from DH’s customer service staff, but her anger subsided when she looked at the name she saved.She felt that Abel’s words were correct. She should be straightforward with those who were slow on the uptake. Pearl was not smart, but she was not a bad person. There was no need for her to continue to be against her.Twenty minutes later, Pearl drove a flashy red Ferrari to the main building in Kingsland Manor residential area.From the moment she got out of the car and walked into the mansion, her mouth did not close. Her eyes were full of undisguised shock.Even though her name was Pearl, and she grew up in a luxurious place and lived an extravagant life, she was still amazed by the mansion.It had several times more ground than the surrounding mansions, and the yard was full of precious flowers and plants. When she opened t
“I don’t believe it!” Pearl looked vigilant. “How can you be so kind? You purposely called me over, but you don’t need me to do anything, and you’re even going to help me restore my reputation. Have pigs learned how to fly?”If Pearl had heard it in the past, she might have been hopeful and believed Ruth had a conscience, but after being tricked many times, she no longer believed that to be the case.Ruth paused for a few seconds when she met her skeptical eyes. “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not.”Pearl’s eyes widened, and she seemed to find it even harder to believe.She thought. “Damn! This woman didn’t even spend the effort to deceive me!“She even got impatient!”She glared at Ruth for a long time, but Ruth did not even spare her a glance.Pearl felt bored but did not want to leave. After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly asked, “Why would you help me? Don’t you want to help Luna take revenge on me?”“Why would I help her?”“You used to help her when we we
Although Pearl said so, her steps were hesitant.She walked for several minutes but still did not reach the door.“Is there anything else?” Ruth asked.Pearl did not turn around, so she did not see Ruth’s impatient expression. Her eyes were fixed on a pink dress nearby.It was from Dio’s new collection. It was limited to ten pieces and pre-ordered before it was released, so she did not manage to buy it.“I think that dress fits my temperament very well!”Ruth did not say anything and looked at where Pearl pointed.It was a girly pink dress, which did suit her naive temperament. “You can take it.”Pearl quickly rushed over, took the dress off the coat hanger, and ran away.Of course, she did not get to wear it since it was Ruth's size. She could not zip it up.So, she took another dress from Ruth’s closet and decided to lose weight.Ruth could not bear to have her clothes wasted, so she kindly helped Pearl match her outfit with accessories and a bag. She changed Pearl’s whole
Ruth understood what Mrs. Greenwell meant. She shook her head in dismissal. “Think of it as my compensation for her.”Mrs. Greenwell did not get it. “Compensation?”“Well, it seemed like I used to bully her a lot.”Mrs. Greenwell did not reply.She thought. “I see.“She is quite pitiful.”The phone rang and interrupted their conversation. It also made Ruth forget about the elevator.It was a call from Nathan. He said that Dio had made a move.Dio was indeed DH’s sworn enemy. In the time it took Ruth to change her clothes, they had released the video. They even contacted several brands that were present at the time and confirmed that the order for Kingsland Manor residential area was delivered that day.Some marketing accounts added fuel to the fire, and the news received a lot of attention on the internet.[Is she really from DH? She is so rude!][Could it be that someone’s deliberately defaming them?][Even if someone’s deliberately defaming them, they have to have dirt to
In another remote mansion in Kingsland Manor residential area, Luna stood in the closet while repeatedly playing the surveillance video. Her expression was beyond shocked.The video was censored and did not reveal the face of the customer, but Luna knew Ruth and could tell that it was her.Could it be that what the man said was true? Were those clothes Ruth’s unwanted ones?But that was not important.The important thing was where the video was recorded.It was the largest building at Kingsland Manor residential area! Did the largest building not belong to the president of Blakewell Corporation?Why was Ruth there?The regal-looking elegant man appeared in her mind. His awe-inspiring aura made him seem like a born superior, which made the answer evident.Luna shook her head violently. She would never believe such a ridiculous thing! Everyone in the Imperial City knew
Ruth looked at the contract in his hand. “You’re pretty fast!”When Demi came over last time, he was so shocked that he did not get everything ready right away.Demi then complained that a small company wasn’t too efficient.“That’s for sure! I have always been very efficient. It’s just that I have never been able to show it before!” Mr. Herbert said and naturally followed Ruth to her office.Since Ruth ignored Nathan, he ignored her as well. After all, it was expected.He knew it and had digested this fact long ago.However, he had another thing to tell her. “Blakewell Corporation’s shopping malls have completely removed DH’s products, and the netizens are criticizing DH now! If we release photos with your uncensored face, your reputation will improve!”He did not know how the public would react before, so he acted conservatively to protect Ruth’s privacy and censored her face.After seeing the public’s reaction, he realized they could release some photos to gain attention.“
