She admitted that she was somewhat madly in love with Ren. Inwardly, she was already a person who was crazy for love. She clung to the washstand for support as tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
How hard do I have to work to draw his attention? If Ruka hadnât turned up, she wouldnât mind waiting;
sheâd still have a chance, after all. But now, Rukaâs presence had erased all her efforts, and she stole Ren away so easily. Just what is Renâs relationship with her? And when did he fall in love with her?
Victoria closed her eyes while shedding a tear of resentment. At this moment, her cell phone rang, and she picked it up and answered it. âHello?â
âMiss Parfait, weâve found something about the matter you asked me to look into. As long as you pay me on time, weâll give you the information.â
âIâll transfer the money to your bank account right away. Shoot.â Victoria was in a somewhat turbulent mood.
The caller was an unlicensed detective that she had hired with a lot of money, and they were even more capable. âAlright, Iâll tell you since I believe you wonât break your promise. Ruka Singedâs parents are close friends with Ren Hussonâs sister and brotherâinâlaw, so they get along very well. Rukaâs parents worked abroad all year long, so they allowed Scarlet Husson to bring up their only daughter.
Ruka had grown up by Scarletâs side since she was two years old until she was 16. Not only that, but I even found an old news report. Scarlet took Ruka to a party and introduced the latter on stage to declare her as her goddaughter. Therefore, Scarlet was considered a half mother to Ruka.â
Victoriaâs eyes widened when she learned of this. She was shocked inwardly, but she also figured everything out. So, this was how Ren and Ruka got to know each other. Ren often stayed at Scarletâs place when he was eight years old. His parents were too busy at work to care about him, so he also stayed at Scarletâs place at the time.
