Ren smirked at how far away she stood. He narrowed his eyes and asked, âAre you afraid that Iâd eat you first?â Isnât that just a matter of time now? Even | can tell that much, she thought.
âCome on, let's go down and eat,â Ruka urged once again. No matter how busy he was, he should still remember to take care of himself.
Renâs smile deepened at the thought of having someone to keep an eye on him to make sure he took his meals on time. It did not feel bad at all to have someone who looked out for you. It was a blessing, and it made him feel warm inside.
âOkay.â Ren came over to her, and they left his study hand-in-hand. At Grady Residence.
Awhite car came to a stop out front and a woman stepped out from the driverâs seat. She was dressed in black and had a mask on. When she entered the hall, she was met by a man in his fifties who was waiting for her.
âIt's great to see you, Miss Parfait.â
âHello, Mr. Grady. Iâm here to report something to you.â âPlease take a seat.â The man gestured politely toward the couch.
Victoriaâs eyes were filled with hatred. Her jaw was tightly clenched as she stated, âIâm here to inform you that the current vice president, Ren Husson is in a relationship with his sisterâs adopted daughter. A man like him does not deserve to be the vice president.â
âYou seem to despise Ren Husson a lot, Miss Parfait.â
â| used to be in love with him, but he hurt me deeply with his heartlessness. Iâm not going to hold back either. | know that you're interested in being the vice president, so | hope this piece of information will be of use to you.â
Orson Grady remained in silent thought for a few seconds before nodding. âThank you for sharing this with me, Miss Parfait. It is indeed of great use to me. What would you like me to do in return?â
âDestroy him. That'll be the best thing you can do for me.â Victoriaâs eyes flashed with hatred and resentment. âI will do my best to grant your request,â Orson replied before signaling to his subordinate. âPlease see Miss Parfait out.â
Victoria drove out of Grady Residence and came to a stop at a street light. Her hands curled tightly around the steering wheels.
Hatred continued to swirl in her eyes.
Ever since Renâs assistant delivered the warning to her, she had not been able to focus on her work. She was consumed by bitterness. Although she knew she was powerless and could not shake Renâs position, she was still determined to not let him carry on for another term as vice president. Thus, she had to do whatever was within her means to achieve her goal.
What she could do was let his political rivals know about his relationship with Ruka. That would surely aid them in causing obstacles for Ren and weaken his chances during the general election.
Back at the Vice President's Residence. The servants wisely left the dining room and allowed the couple to enjoy a romantic dinner together.
Ruka was starving. She had not eaten much during lunch and had suffered through her motherâs scolding afterward, followed by her anguish and eventual fainting spell. All in all, she was famished. and was looking forward to digging into the feast that covered the entire dining table.
âEverything tastes amazing!â Ruka munched away in great satisfaction.
