Chapter 165
"Use my phone first." Kylah seemed to want to say something, but she didn't. She just lowered her head and looked at her belly.
Lucy took the phone and said grumpily, "Who told me not to be sentimental just now? It's not like we're going through life and death separation. There's no need to be sad! I have to go and apply for a temporary identification. I'm leaving!"
"Yes," Kylah replied in a muffled voice. She waved at her and waited for her to turn around before touching her belly and sighing.
...
Arthur met Ruby on his way back to the headquarters of the Johnson family. Her car rubbed against a Mercedes-Benz in front of her and was nodding and bowing to apologize to the car owner.
However, the car owner's attitude was very tough. He asked her to compensate him on the spot, otherwise, he would not let her go.
There was a circle of people around, all of whom were watching the show. Many of them were holding their mobile phones to record the video.
"I don't have that much money. Please give me your contact information. I'll gather all the money within a month and send it to you. What do you think?" Even though she knew that Mr. Wallace had arranged it, Ruby's face was still flushed red after being surrounded by so many people.
She only hoped that Mr. Johnson would come and help her as soon as possible, so that she would not
embarrass herself!
The owner of the car was holding his beer belly, and the meat on his chin was trembling. "I don't believe your nonsense! The clothes you wear at the stall are worth at most 100 dollars. Can you get 500,000 dollars a month?"
"I... I will try my best to get 500,000 dollars within a month. Please... trust me." Ruby's face was red with anger.
Fortunately, this was not true. Otherwise, it would not be worth so much money for her to sell herself!
"Nonsense!" The car owner pinched her chin and looked at her like picking pork. "You look good. You can be my girlfriend for a month. You don't have to pay me 500,000 dollars!"
The crowd hissed. To put it nicely, he called her a girlfriend for a month. To put it bluntly, she was his sugar daddy!
"You can sleep with me for five hundred thousand dollars a month. Beauty, you've made a profit!"
"If you promise him, maybe you'll be happy. He can give you hundreds of thousands more!"
"Isn't this a threat to the little girl? The owner of the car, you've gone too far!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can't insult a girl like this!"
There were all kinds of words in the crowd, and some kind-hearted people tried to persuade the car
owner, but all of them were scolded by the car owner.
"How are you, little b*tch? Have you made up your mind?" The owner of the car reached out his hand lustfully, wanting to pinch Ruby's face. However, before he could touch her face, someone had already knocked her off!
Max threw a check of 500,000 dollars on the face of the car owner. "I'll give you the money. Can I take her away?"
Ruby recognized that this was Mr. Johnson's Max. She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Finally, there was no need to be watched.
"Of course, of course, of course!" The owner of the car said with a flattering smile.
Max ignored the car owner and turned to leave. Ruby followed closely behind him.
"Is there anything else?" The Max stopped and asked.
"Yes." Ruby smiled slightly. "I want to thank Arthur in person and talk about returning the money."
She hadn't seen Mr. Johnson for more than two months. If she didn't complete Mr. Wallace's task, Mr. Wallace would probably cut off her grandmother's treatment!
"The president said you don't have to thank me." Max tried to push her hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
Ruby held him tightly and said righteously, "I have nothing to do with Arthur now. I can't owe him
500,000 for no reason. If it's because of this 500,000, it will be bad for Ms. Morgan to misunderstand."
Hearing this, the assistant hesitated for a moment before taking her there.
He knew very well how much the president cared about his wife!
Ruby followed him and stopped in front of the Bentley.
Arthur's expression did not look too good when he saw her. His cold gaze shot straight at the assistant.
"Young... Mr. Johnson, don't blame me for helping you. I begged him to bring me here. Thank you very much for what happened just now. Without your help, the car owner would never let me go." Ruby said very sincerely.
Even if she had the same face as Lucy, Arthur had no feelings for her at all. "Are you done?"
He asked and then ordered the driver, "Drive!"
If it wasn't for the fact that he owed Elyse too much, he wouldn't have helped this time!
"Wait a minute!" Ruby poked the car door, afraid that he would leave just like that. "Master... Mr. Johnson, let's talk about 500,000 dollars. How can I return it to you?"
Mr. Wallace wanted her to make use of the money to get back to Mr. Johnson and to separate Mr. Johnson and Lucy.
"There's no need to return it. Let go." A cold glint flashed in Arthur's eyes. In the past, Elyse would
never pester him like this!
Ruby's scalp turned numb as he stared at her. She looked away from him and said, "We have nothing to do with each other now. I can't take the 500,000 dollars. If Ms. Morgan misunderstands you because of this 500,000 dollars, I will be a sinner!"
Arthur's thin lips tightened into a straight line as he stared at her.
The Elyse in front of him couldn't be compared to the one in his memories!
"If... if you're not afraid of misunderstandings, then I won't pay you back." For a moment, Ruby felt that she was a transparent person in front of him, and he had seen through all her dirty thoughts. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Arthur was already impatient. "She won't know if you don't tell her."
After that, he raised the window and ordered the driver to drive.
Ruby had no choice but to let him go, but she did not want to let him go. In desperation, she rolled her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
She didn't believe that Mr. Johnson would be so heartless as to make Elyse court her own destruction!
Even if she didn't love him anymore, she still felt guilty!
Psst—
The tires rubbed against the ground, making an ear-piercing sound. The Bentley, which had just
started, stopped.
Arthur's face was frosty. He ordered his Max, "Bring her up!"
"Okay." The Max responded and got out of the car to pick up Ruby.
Ruby heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and did not dare to show anything unusual. However, her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid that Mr. Johnson would notice something unusual.
The car soon stopped in the First Hospital.
"Take her to see a doctor." Arthur said and went straight to Lucy's ward. When he thought of the child in her belly, there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
I wonder if this is my daughter or my son...
However, the gender of the child was not important. As long as she gave birth to the child, it was enough!
Arthur quickly arrived outside the ward. Afraid that Lucy had not woken up yet, he deliberately lowered his footsteps and carefully pushed open the door of the ward.
However, there was no one in the ward!
His aura instantly became dark and cold. He strode out of the ward and blocked a nurse. "Where's Lucy?"
The young nurse, who was in charge of this ward, trembled and said, "Mrs. Johnson said... she wants to find... find you in person. She wants to give you... a surprise."
Arthur took out his mobile phone with a straight face and called the Lindbarry Chateau, the Johnson family, and the Johnson family's old house respectively—
"No, I didn't see your wife."
"Madam didn't come."
"Young Madam didn't come today."
Arthur put down his phone and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with a dark face. "Lucy!"
How dare she run away?
Even if she fled to the ends of the earth, he would catch her back!
