Chapter 140 Ruby arrived at the Darling Groupâs entrance early. She had been coming here for two days in a row, but she hadnât seen Joseph. Only five days remained until the one-week deadline.
She was in a hurry so she had left without eating breakfast, and now her stomach was starting to hurt.
Ruby went to the store downstairs and bought two sandwiches. She had to find a way to see Joseph today. If she couldnât complete the task, she didnât know what Emily would do to her mother.
At that time, a Maybach drove over. Ruby picked up the sandwiches and ran towards the Maybach.
The Maybach braked suddenly.
Ruby stood in front of the car. She really had no other choice but to risk her life to stop the car. But now she had no courage to face the person in the car. Because of the sudden brake, Joseph, who was reading documents in the car, almost hit his head. And all the documents fell.
"Mr. Darling, Iâm sorry. A woman suddenly ran out and stopped our car." The driver was so frightened that he apologized tremblingly.
"Who is it?" Joseph hadnât slept in the hospital all night, and now someone was stopping his car. It was like courting death.
"Mr. Darling, this woman has been wandering around our gate for the past two days. She should be looking for you," the driver reported respectfully.
"Go and send her away." Joseph leaned against the car window, resting his head on one hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Okay." The driver nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out.
"Miss, are you alright?" the driver asked.
Rubyâs legs were still trembling. Her life was almost lost. She waved her hand and said, "Iâm fine. Give me a second."
"Miss, do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?" the driver asked in a businesslike tone.
"No, thanks." She was just here to discredit herself and elevate Sienna. There was no need to go to the hospital. She had to explain everything quickly and then go home to accompany her kid.
"Well, then please step aside. Thank you!" The driver still had a smile on his face and turned to get in the car.
"Wait, is Joseph in the car?" Her legs were still weak. After rescuing her mother, she would teach Emily a good lesson.
The driver had a wary look in his eyes. âAs expected, she was here for Mr. Darling, he thought. "Miss, whatâs the matter? I can pass it on for you."
Ruby shook her head and said, "You canât pass it on. Itâs complicated. I have to speak to him in person."
âShe is indeed after Mr. Darling, but sheâs the first one who dares to stop his car. If I hadnât been a good driver, she would have been dead by now, the driver thought.
"Iâm sorry. Mr. Darling is very busy and doesnât have time to meet you," the driver said.
"No time? Youâre wasting my time. If you hadnât stopped me, I would have done it now." Ruby finished speaking and quickly opened the car door and sat in. It took less than a minute.
The driver was dumbfounded.
Joseph was originally taking a nap. Suddenly, Ruby got into the car. The door slammed shut.
"Wake up." Ruby reached out and pushed Joseph.
Joseph was woken up, his face darkened.
"Iâm really sorry! You were too hard to meet, so I had to do it. Itâs a little abrupt," seeing his displeasure, Ruby said with a brave face. Joseph then turned his attention to her face. His breath hitched, but he quickly suppressed his emotion. "Whatâs the matter?" he asked.
"Can we find a place to talk?" Rubyâs palms were sweating. She was afraid that if she finished speaking, he would strangle her to death!
Joseph glanced at Ruby expressionlessly.
In Darling Group CEOâs office.
"Out with it," Joseph said, his face cold. His legs crossed as he sat in his executive chair.
"I think I should introduce myself. Iâm Ruby Dixon. Iâm here to explain what happened at the banquet." Ruby clenched her fists as if to give herself courage.
Josephâs gaze swept over her, his eyes sharp. "And?" he asked.
âAnd? And I saved you but you didnât know! Itâs because of you that Emily and Sienna are after me madly!â Ruby thought.
"Mr. Darling, it was all my fault that year. I was attracted to you and wanted to win your love! At that time, I drugged you and waited for you in the hallway.
"In the end, I got what I wanted. But it wasnât that great. Then I thought, what if you wake up and donât let me go? What if you make me take responsibility? In a panic, I called Sienna and threatened her to come. In fact, Sienna was the most innocent party in all of this. I was a truly evil one.
Iâm so sorry. I sullied your innocence. Please donât misunderstand Sienna."
Ruby finished speaking and bowed deeply to Joseph.
Joseph was angry. âWhat did she mean by being attracted to me? What did she mean that it wasnât that great? She left without a word, and now sheâs back talking nonsense,â he thought.
Joseph pursed his lips tightly, his face cold, with a chill that made one tremble. "What do you mean?"
he asked.
âHow on earth does he manage such a large company? Doesnât he understand what Iâm saying? This task is really difficult. Damn it... she thought.
"I mean, Sienna and you should love each other forever. I am the vicious one, so please donât misunderstand Sienna. Itâs all my fault. Sienna is the most beautiful woman in the world. Everyone loves her. Sheâs simply a perfect match for you, Mr. Darling," she said.
âIâve used up all the good words in my life. Oh, God, please donât blame me... I lied,â she thought.
Joseph looked at Ruby, his face getting darker and darker as she racked her brains to speak for Sienna. "Are you done?" he asked.
Ruby thought about it for a moment. It seemed she had said everything she needed to say and hadnât left anything out.
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 139 These were the words she had been thinking about all night, and she was very confident that she could convince him. After all, he loved Sienna very much. Maybe he was just sensitive.
She nodded, giving him an ingratiating smile. "Yes, Iâm done," she said.
"Then get out," Joseph said coldly, looking down at the document.
âI donât want to come here either! With a straight face, is he unsatisfied? Itâs too hard to meet him once. I should confirm it, she thought. "Mr. Darling, have you forgiven Sienna?" she asked.
Joseph kept looking down at his documents and did not give Ruby any reply.
âWhat does he mean? Why doesnât he reply?â she thought.
So, Ruby reached out and shook her hand in front of Josephâs eyes. "Hey! Did you hear me?" she asked.
Joseph was so angry that he wanted to throw her off the building.
