Chapter 274 Die In Front Of The Cooper Group
When they were about to reach the side of the road, Ruby saw a road sign erected on the side of the road. When the father and daughter walked over, Ruby reached out her hand and tightly hugged the road sign’s pole.
No matter what, she did not want to leave!
“You wretched girl! You want to anger me to death, right?” Ruby’s father looked at his daughter and turned around to forcefully break her arm.
“Dad! Julian’s eyes could not see. Even if you really want to take me home, can you wait for me to send him back to the company first?” When she thought about leaving Julian alone upstairs, Ruby felt an indescribable worry in her heart.
“You damn girl! What’s his relationship with you? You’re protecting him like this? Your father has lived for more than half of his life, but he has never been so humiliated before! Why are you so disappointing?”
Ruby’s father raised his hand and hit her daughter’s back hard, scolding her as he hit her.
Ruby’s tears kept flowing. She hugged the road sign tightly. Her father’s fist fell down but she still did not let go. She only looked at her father pleadingly.
“Dad, his eyes can’t see. How can he leave if I leave? Just treat it as a last meeting! Let me send him back to the company first, okay?”
“Stupid girl, you want to anger me to death, right?” The more he listened to her daughter’s begging words, the angrier Ruby’s father became. He raised his hand and ruthlessly hit her again.
“Dad. . . I promise you that as long as you send him back to the company, I will definitely go back with you! Dad, please. . .” Ruby kept begging her father again and again.
Hearing this, Ruby’s father raised his hand again. When he hit his daughter, someone, however, could not stand it and walked over to stop him.
“It’s against the law for you to hit people like this!”
“What crime is it for me to hit my own daughter?” Ruby’s father retorted angrily.
“You can’t hit your own daughter like this! Can’t you talk nicely? Who would be a father like you?” More and more people gathered around and all of them started to criticize Ruby’s father.
“Miss, is he really your father? Isn’t he a human trafficker?”
“. . .”
Ruby’s father listened to the discussions and could not hit his daughter anymore. He only said with disappointment, “Are you going to follow me back or not?”
Ruby hugged the road sign tightly. “Dad, can you let me send him back? I beg you. . .”
She really could not let go of Julian. She was afraid that if she left, something would happen to him.
Ruby’s father looked at her daughter’s persistent look and finally sighed. “Okay! This is what you said. As long as you send him back to the company, you will immediately follow me home! If you dare to go back on your word today, I will die in front of the Cooper Group’s gate!”
Ruby immediately kept nodding her head. “Dad, I promise you! As long as I send him back to the company, I will immediately go home with you!”
Ruby’s father listened to her daughter’s words and only then did he loosen his grip on her hand. He looked at her and scolded, “Quickly go!”
Once Ruby was freed, she did not bother to wipe away her tears and ran back into the restaurant just now.
Without Ruby leading him, Julian, who was blind, could could only hear Ruby’s shout gradually disappear beside his ear.
“Are you satisfied now?” Julian stood at the door and looked in the direction of his mother-in-law and said coldly.
Mrs. Holmes coughed and looked at Julian. “Julian, Vivian is your legal wife, but you are maintaining this kind of unlawful relationship with Ruby. The one who should be questioning you now should be me and not you! You clearly did something wrong to our Vivian but why are you still so self-righteous in front of me?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Mrs. Holmes was also unable to express her anger when she heard Julian’s words.
“You are an elder. There were some things that I didn’t want to tell you. But since you called Ruby’s father over today, then I have to say it. When I was blind and went back to my room to sleep, do you know what your daughter said? She said she had a big belly. If I wake up at night and want to go to the bathroom, she didn’t want to take care of me. She asked me to go directly to Ruby’s room to sleep. So, I fulfilled her wish.”
“Now that I’m going to divorce her, you guys started to have ideas about Ruby again. Do you really think that I, Julian Cooper, am blind and can’t do anything? Today, I will tell you. I am really going to divorce you!”
“Julian, you can’t see it with your eyes right now. Ruby that girl takes care of you every day, that’s why you rely on her. This is not called feelings at all! I admit that Vivian must have done something wrong before. But you are also not a perfect person. Let’s not talk about the rest for now. Take the fact that you are eating and living together with Ruby as an example. Go and ask the others. Who can tolerate you guys for such a long time like our Vivian? She has already made such a big concession. Don’t go too far. Do you know?”
“Hehe, too far? Why didn’t she tell you? Because of the matter between Ruby and me, she asked for two million from me? She said that she wanted to compensate one million for Ruby, but she only gave Ruby one hundred thousand yuan! I would like to ask her, who was the one who went overboard?”
“Julian! Don’t go too far! The one who cheated now is you, not our Vivian! She gave you a son now. If you really want to divorce, have you ever thought about the child?”
“Do you think she deserves to be a mother? Even if Ruby did today!” Julian retorted.
Mrs. Holmes heard what Julian said and knew that
As the two of them were in a stalemate, they heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.
During the time Julian went blind, he only needed to rely on the footsteps finally stopped beside him, his face immediately showed joy.
“Ruby? Is it you? You are back, right?” As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Ruby saw him standing helplessly on the spot and her heart ached. She immediately grabbed looked at him as she softly said. “I will send you back to the company first. . .”
Mrs. Holmes who was in the room immediately looked at Ruby hatefully.
“Okay!” Julian immediately held Ruby’s hand tightly and followed her downstairs.
Mrs. Holmes took her bag and followed the two out saw Ruby’s father standing not far away and went towards him.
“Cousin, you saw everything, right? How is it? Did I lie or not?” Mrs. Holmes walked to Ruby’s father’s side. She looked at the backs of the two and asked in a bitter tone.
Ruby’s father’s expression was somewhat ugly and he sighed in shame. He felt that he was really too ashamed to see his cousin.
“Cousin, I am really sorry for your family! These few years, I have been teaching Ruby that no matter how poor the family is, they must not do anything that goes against the conscience. But I never thought that. . . Sigh. . .”
Mrs. Holmes heard his words and said coldly, “Anyway, you have already seen everything. I hope that you will not keep talking about it! This time, when you bring Ruby back, find a family for her to marry. Although I have not gone college to study, I still understand some principles. A person cannot be ungrateful, don’t you agree?”
Ruby’s father immediately nodded his head. “Sister, you are right! I will definitely bring Ruby back today. As long as we return home, I will find someone to talk about her matchmaking. No matter what, I will marry her in the shortest time possible!”
“Cousin, will you keep your word?” Mrs. Holmes immediately stared at Ruby’s father.
“As long as I say it, I will definitely be able to do it. Sister, wait for my news.”
“Good! Since I heard what you said, I am relieved. I hope to hear your good news within a few days. But I will also say the ugly words first. Cousin, if you don’t keep your promise, I won’t just watch my
daughter be abandoned. If you push me too hard, I will definitely do anything!” Mrs. Holmes gritted her teeth and said.
“Yes, yes, yes! Sister, don’t worry! I will definitely keep my word!” Ruby’s father once again made a heavy promise.
Julian held Ruby’s hand tightly and followed her across the road. They then went to the square in front of the Cooper Group and walked into the company’s lobby.
Ruby brought him into the company’s elevator. When she heard the door of the elevator slowly close, Julian grabbed Ruby tightly and asked, “Ruby, was that really your father just now?”
Seeing his helpless look, Ruby felt unspeakable discomfort in her heart. But she could not lie, so she lightly nodded. “Yes, he is my father. . .”
“Ruby, you cannot go home with him! What will happen to me if you leave? What will happen to Cooper Group? This must be Vivian’s idea. She just wants to take you away from me! If you really go back with uncle, then you definitely won’t come back! Ruby! You can’t leave! You can’t leave me!”
As Julian spoke, he reached out and hugged Ruby tightly in his arms. He looked blankly ahead.
“Ruby, before you appeared, I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. It was you who gave me the chance to correct my mistakes. Don’t abandon me, okay? I like you! I really like you! Do you know, although I can’t see you now, I feel like I’m in a relationship every day. I like to hear your voice and like you holding my hand. It’s so warm and can always give me encouragement. Ruby, I love you! I want to marry you! I want to live with you for the rest of my life! Ruby!
Julian hugged her tightly and kept confessing.
Ruby’s tears kept falling and a bitter smile appeared on her face. “Julian. . .” She wanted to say something but she could not say anything.
“Ruby! Please don’t leave me, okay? I can’t live without you! Ruby! “
Ruby reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist. She knew what she meant to him. She gently patted his back to comfort him. “I said I will be your eyes. So I will not leave you. . .”
“Really? Okay! Then let’s go back to the office!” Afraid that she would turn around and run to see her father, Julian pulled her out of the elevator.
Afraid that he would touch her, Ruby took a few steps forward and brought Julian back to his office. Once the office door was closed, Julian hugged her again. “Ruby, you won’t leave, right?”
“Julian, even if I really want to stay by your side, I can’t just not go back to my own home. I promise you. When I go back this time, I will have a good talk with my parents. Okay?”
She clearly knew the expression on her father’s face, and she also understood in her heart: She had been living with Julian day and night, and this was a challenge to her father’s bottom line. But every time she saw Julian’s helpless eyes, she couldn’t bear to tell the truth.
“No! You can’t leave!” When Julian heard that she was still going to see her father, he hugged her tightly and did not let go no matter what. “Ruby, do you hate me?”
