“Okay, I’ll say good night to you before I go to bed.” Ruka nodded. Providing he does not find my message bothersome. “I’m going to get some work done now. You can rest by my side while I complete my work.” Ren did not want to let her go, so he kept her close to him.
Anyway, Ruka was delighted to accompany him. She grabbed a book to read when she noticed a small bookshelf in a corner. Meanwhile, Victoria was in her office and having a bad day. She thought that when. Ruka left, she would feel better, but it seemed that Ruka’s sudden departure made her feel even more upset.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and she snapped, “Who is it?”
“Miss Parfait, Elijah is here,” the assistant said in a meticulous tone as she pushed open the door. Victoria tensed up and took a deep breath. She said with a smile, “Please invite him inside.”
When Elijah entered the room, she could not contain her excitement. “What brings you here, Elijah?”
He looked at her calmly and said, “Miss Parfait, I’m here to relay a few words from Mr. Husson to you.”
“What does he say?” Victoria worriedly inquired. Does he know that I’m the one who made Ruka leave?
“Miss Parfait, Mr. Husson would like to inform you that if you want your dad to retire comfortably and enjoy his golden years, you’d better be careful and stop abusing your power to bully others,” Elijah said in a calm voice that belied the underlying threat in his words.
Victoria’s expression changed. “What is he going to do to my dad?”
“The point is what you did to Miss Singed. Miss Parfait, you’re a wise woman. You have to understand how important Miss Singed is to Mr. Husson.”
“Who the hell is Ruka? Is Ren blind? Which part of me is inferior to hers?” There was an intense resentment in her eyes. Elijah noticed the malice on her face and the hatred in her eyes. He replied indifferently, “I believe Miss Singed is much better than you in terms of being kind and open-minded.”
Victoria took a deep breath, and her face turned pale. She raised her head to look at Elijah and questioned, “Is he threatening me? Why is he doing this?”
“You’ve crossed a line that’s very important to Mr. Husson, and Miss Singed is that line. Miss Parfait, you’d better keep an eye on yourself. You should have known better about Mr Husson’s character. After giving you a warning, he will act on it. He clearly has leverage over your father after all these years.
As long as he issues orders, your father will be unable to escape. In terms of your position, he can easily remove you from it if he desires. Elijah’s last words were clear and cold.
Victoria slumped back in her seat as Elijah turned around and left. Does Ren have to treat me with such hostility because of Ruka? She suddenly came to her senses at this moment. What kind of person have I fallen in love with? When does Ren become so cold and inhuman after a disagreement with me?
