Chapter 610 - A Woman’s Jealousy
Chapter 610 A Woman’s Jealousy
Lawrence and two bodyguards stood behind Ruth.
Justin sat on the sofa with a cold expression and a strong aura. At first glance, he reminded Nora of the first time she had met this man in California.
Only at times like these could Nora clearly see that this man had a noble status. When he was not in front of her, the man’s expression was high and mighty. His entire body exuded an unapproachable aura.
He could not be bothered with Ruth and only lowered his head to handle the documents.
Lawrence was talking to Ruth instead. “Miss Ruth, don’t make things harder for yourself. Over the years, no one has ever been able to hide anything from us…”
Ruth did not want to bother with him at all and directly said to Justin, “Mr. Hunt, it’s useless for you to ignore me like this. Aren’t you afraid of the public’s opinion? If I just disappear out of nowhere, I’m afraid the outside world will start talking about you silencing me!”
Justin turned a page of the document, took out a pen, and signed it.
However, Lawrence said, “Tsk, Miss Ruth, you’re looking down on the Hunts too much, aren’t you? Do you think a battle of public opinion will matter to us? Do you think you can publish such news as you please with Y around?”
Ruth was stunned.
She looked at Lawrence and saw strong confidence coming from this assistant. It was as if those things were nothing to him.
She bit her lip. “Shut up! I’m talking to Mr. Hunt. How can you interrupt?”.
Lawrence raised his chin and sneered. “Miss Ruth, you have to know that I’m only here to talk to you because I’m bored. Do you think you would otherwise have the chance to talk to me?”
As Justin’s special assistant, Lawrence’s words had a very big say in New York!
Ordinary people would have to rack their brains if they wanted an opportunity to speak to him. He was very proud and aloof.
Ruth was furious. “Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? You can’t afford to offend me!”
Lawrence sneered. “Who are you?” Ruth wanted to say something, but she calmed down. “You want to pry information out of me? I won’t say anything…” Then, she looked at Justin again and said, “Mr. Hunt, I suggest you let me go. Let’s have a good talk. Otherwise, my people will call the police if I’m missing for 24 hours!”
Lawrence: “Omg, I’m so scared!” He pursed his lips. “Who do you think the Hunts are? Even if your people call the police, can they step foot into our property without any evidence?”
Ruth frowned. “You…”
Lawrence squatted down. “So, I suggest you talk nicely. After all, we don’t want to kill women either.”
Ruth spat and saliva splattered on Lawrence’s face. “Since I dared to come, I’m not afraid of torture. Besides, you can’t torture me! If I lose so much as a strand of hair, I guarantee that Mr. Hunt will regret it very much!”
Lawrence frowned.
He did not know where Ruth’s confidence came from, but to be safe, he still looked at Justin.
At this moment, Justin finally put down the document. He slowly raised his head, but his gaze passed through Ruth and went straight to Nora. Then, he stood up.
He was still acting very cold and distant, but now, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He strode to Nora and said, “You’re here!”
Nora nodded calmly and then turned her gaze to Ruth.
Ruth did not seem to expect her to come over, but the moment she saw her, she suddenly understood something. She looked at Justin again and frowned. “You all teamed up to deceive me!”
Nora and Justin could not be bothered with her. Only Lawrence bothered to talk to her. “Of course. Did you just notice? Heh, Miss Smith and our Mr. Hunt can already talk with just their eyes. How could he have been stirred up by you? Let me tell you, your matters are nothing in Mr. Hunt’s eyes. Besides, Miss Smith is very magnanimous. She has been framed before, so she definitely won’t fuss about anything!”
As he spoke, Lawrence glanced at Nora carefully.
Nora: “…”
She turned back to look at Justin and saw that he was also sizing her up. It seemed like this person really cared about her opinion.
However…
If Justin had really slept with Ruth, it would be quite… disgusting. She simply waved her hand and said to Lawrence, “Stop wasting time. Just interrogate her.”
Lawrence instantly nodded. Just as he was about to call for someone to pull her down, Ruth’s eyes widened and she gritted her teeth. She looked at Justin and shouted, “I slept with Mr. Hunt. Do you really dare to interrogate me? Do you dare to touch me?!”
Everyone: “?”
Lawrence was stunned by the logic of her words. “Why can’t we interrogate you?”
Ruth looked at Justin. “Mr. Hunt, can you really bear to? We had a one-night stand after all. How could you treat me like this?!”
There was a silence.
After a while, a sneer came from Nora’s mouth. Her pretty face could not help but tighten slightly. She only felt that this women’s brain circuit was damaged. She shook her head and mocked, “Do you think you’re filming a tv show?”
Ruth bit her lip. “You’re too shameless. Are you going to torture me? I’m a woman. You guys call yourself men?!”
Lawrence: “…”
Nora waved her hand. “Forget it. Find a soundproof room. I’ll interrogate her.” Lawrence was stunned. “Miss Smith, you’re doing it?”
“Why? Can’t I?” Nora retorted. Lawrence hurriedly glanced at Justin and saw him nod. He then said eagerly, “Of course! you can definitely do it!”
With that, he got the two bodyguards to carry Ruth to the basement.
The dark room in the basement was very soundproof.
After the few of them went in, Ruth was tied to a chair. Her posture was still calm. “I’ve already said that you will only hear what I want to say. You’ll never know what I don’t want to say!”
Lawrence also persuaded, “Miss Smith, why don’t we do it? After all, it’s not appropriate to let you do such a bloody thing, right?”
Actually, he was thinking to herself, “Miss Smith, you can treat illnesses, but can you interrogate people?”
However, he quickly figured out that Miss Smith wasn’t here just to interrogate her. She just wanted to take the opportunity to hurt Ruth!
Sigh, women! They were indeed petty. Although they said they were not jealous, they actually cared more than anyone else, right?
He wanted Miss Smith to have fun. Later, he would find an excuse to take care of her mood and do it himself!
