Ruth was puzzled. “What do you mean?”Pearl just looked smug. “Aren’t you busy?”“Stop wasting time. Talk.”Pearl cursed in her heart, but she still told Ruth all that she saw. “I remember that person. I think he’s the vice president of Eternal Corporation. My dad said that you’ve been talking about working with Eternal Corporation. Heh. Someone stole your partnership from right under your nose, huh?”Ruth fell silent, which led to Pearl widening her eyes. “Are you seriously thinking that I’m lying to you? You can choose not to believe me if you want—”She had a photo, but she would not hand it over. If Ruth refused to believe her, it would be entirely her fault that she got unlucky with Eternal Corporation. “Why were you at Eternal Corporation?” Ruth suddenly asked. “For work, duh. Did you actually think that you’re the only one with a job?” Pearl said haughtily“Oh…” Ruth said languidly. “Carry on, then. I’ll treat you to a meal some time later. Bye.”Ruth was so vague t

What was going on?With this question in mind, Ruth got up languidly. After she finished washing up, she changed into a fresh set of clothes. The moment she opened the bedroom door, Mrs. Greenwell came in with a group of people. A fashionable woman looked around the bedroom before she decided to choose the balcony to do Ruth’s makeup. The natural lighting over there was good, and it was perfect to do makeup. Ruth did not even have the chance to give an opinion before she was dragged over like a marionette. The makeup artist sized Ruth’s face up and praised her. “Mrs. Blakewell, you have the most perfect face I’ve ever seen. Your skin is really good! The event you’re going to tonight is quite formal, so I’ll put light makeup on for you.”Ruth felt speechless. She was just going on a date. Come on…How formal could it be?Before she could finish the thought, someone spoke from beyond the door. “Amy, I’ve got Mrs. Blakewell’s dressing gowns. Should I bring them all in for her

It was Ruth’s phone. She looked at the caller and was a little surprised. The call was from Eternal Corporation’s vice president. She answered it. “Mr. McGreen?”“Ruth! My staff and I had another meeting after we dropped by to gain an understanding of your company yesterday. Lockton Entertainment is a company with great potential. We have absolutely no problem investing in it. Bring your contract over. I’ve sent the location to your phone.”What?!It was a Saturday! Was their company so motivated to work that they actually worked overtime to discuss investing in her company?Also, why did they have to have a meeting now?!She instinctively wanted to refuse it, but, when she saw the location Mr. McGreen sent to her, she hesitated. It was the Sky Hotel. The message with the location was followed by another one. [I’m going to be discussing a partnership with another person here. For the sake of convenience, why don’t we meet up here as well? You don’t mind, do you?] It wa

Caelus stopped smiling. “Those people only like her because she’s somewhat pleasant to the eyes! Mr. Nicholas has seen plenty of beautiful women before. Do you actually think he truly likes her?”Mr. McGreen’s smile faded as well. “Since he doesn’t truly like her, how are you so sure that Mr. Nicholas will be satisfied by me doing this?”The day before, when Caelus came to him, he dissuaded Mr. McGreen from signing the contract with Ruth with a slew of perfectly logical reasons. He said that Ruth was in a relationship with Nicholas Blakewell. They were having an argument, which was why the Blakewell family did not support her. If he dared to invest in Lockton Entertainment, he would be humiliating Nicholas. However, if Mr. McGreen sent her to Nicholas’s bed, he would be happy with Mr. McGreen’s actions. “All men care about their ego. As long as he gets his woman, he’ll be fine with it. It doesn’t matter whether he really likes her or not.” Caelus snorted coldly. “Besides, thi

Besides, she knew just how “good” her alcohol tolerance was, which was why she never drank a lot. This old fox tried to cause trouble to her right from the get go by making her drink wine, but she readily took the wine he gave her and did not question it. Most of the time, a person was not actually a problem when they were making a show of being difficult. They were more of a problem when they suddenly became understanding, even though they wanted to make things difficult. After the accident three years ago, Ruth was immune to and ready for such despicable tactics. Besides, she heard them talk about juice in the footage, so the juice was the one that was spiked. Mr. McGreen grabbed his throat and started coughing. His face was pale. “You b*tch! Catch her!”Four bodyguards swiftly surged into the room and surrounded Ruth and Nathan. Ruth remained where she was. She looked past the bodyguards and stared at Caelus, who was the last to show up. When she spoke, she sounded surp
