“So, I plan to arrange for trustworthy individuals to enter the company and monitor certain middle and high-level executives.
However, if I assign people from my side, those executives might see through it.”
“If you have your buddy go in and maintain a low profile, we can discreetly observe these individuals and see if they engage in
any improper behavior.”
So that’s her plan.
Emmanuel had originally planned to continue arranging for Frederick to join his company, but after hearing his wife’s words, it
seemed that he could only reluctantly give up.
Upon returning home, Emmanuel received a call from his sister.
“Manny, Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately.”
“What happened? Is she sick again?”
Emmanuel’s heart immediately tightened.
“I asked her where she felt uncomfortable, and she said it was her heart.”
Roselynn sighed and said, “Recently, Ryder and Tia’s relationship hasn’t been going well. Ruby always tries to seduce Ryder,
and I don’t know what her intentions are. It makes Tia uncomfortable, and she rarely interacts with Ryder anymore!”
“Is that so?”
Emmanuel quickly said, “Then let’s have a meal with Mom tomorrow and comfort her together.”
“Yeah, I’ve been busy with the store recently, and we have indeed neglected her. Manny, you arrange it. Mom will be very happy
to see you and Mackenzie.”
“Okay.”
Emmanuel nodded. He also felt that they had neglected their mother during this period.
Roselynn rarely went home, and he had been in Anchortown for a while. His mother was always alone at home. Even if she
wasn’t sick, she must have been feeling unwell.
Emmanuel quickly called Ryder to find out the situation.
Unexpectedly, a woman answered the phone.
“Manny, is that you?”
“Ruby?!”
Upon hearing this excited voice, Emmanuel felt something was wrong. After confirming that he had dialed the correct number, he
was surprised and said, “Why are you answering Ryder’s phone for him?!”
It’s already evening!
Ruby is still with Ryder? What’s going on?
“I’m at Ryder’s house, helping Tommy with his homework!”
“Well, um-”
Emmanuel didn’t know what to say for a moment, and after a long time, he said, “Then where’s Ryder?”
“He’s taking a shower. Do you have something to tell him? I can pass on the message for you.”
Ruby seemed to be Ryder’s partner.
Emmanuel was speechless. What has Ryder been up to recently? Has all the effort everyone put into helping him pursue Tia
been in vain?
“Then tell Ryder that we’ll be having a meal at the private room in Luxoria Hotel tomorrow.”
“Okay, I will pass on the message for you.”
Ruby was in a good mood. She knew very well that Luxoria Hotel was owned by the Quillen family. Going there tomorrow for
dinner would definitely give her a great opportunity to build a good relationship with Emmanuel and Mackenzie.
Emmanuel couldn’t care less about Ruby’s plans at the moment. He was only thinking about meeting Ryder tomorrow and
finding out what had happened during this time.
Ryder couldn’t possibly be foolish enough to leave Tia and be with Ruby, right?
On the other hand, just as Ruby hung up the phone, Tommy appeared in front of her.
“Ms. Ruby, please don’t simply answer my dad’s calls.”
Tommy was actually strongly averse to this woman. She always used the excuse of helping him with his schoolwork to stick
around his father.
As for this woman’s intentions, Tommy knew very well that she wanted to buy a house in Cloud Bay.
Lately, she had been pestering his father, saying that if he wanted to marry her in the future, he must have a house there!
Tommy understood only some parts of it. He thought this woman was crazy. Where would Dad get the money to buy a house
there? Dad definitely wouldn’t agree!
“Tommy, your dad is dating me. What’s the problem with me answering his calls?”
Ruby actually disliked Tommy, thinking he was a burden, but she couldn’t sever ties with this little guy for now. After all, she still
needed him to get close to Ryder.
As for Ryder, as honest of a guy he was, he was much easier to deal with. If she took the initiative to show him kindness, he
wouldn’t refuse a woman. He simply couldn’t resist her!
The time before last, she used the excuse of helping Tommy with his schoolwork to come to Ryder’s house.
Ryder, who only had a high school education, agreed. Little did he know that after helping Tommy with his studies, Ruby secretly
left behind an undergarment of hers, which Tia discovered and became resentful about.
Last time, she deliberately fell down and hugged Ryder, letting Tia see them embracing at home, easily making Tia leave in
anger.
