Chapter 1019 Ruth entered the apartment.
She wore a starâstudded dress, diamond earrings on her ears, the Heart of the Ocean around her neck, and a bracelet with vivid colors on her wrist, making her look radiant. Her eyes were alight with excitement.
Her face flushed. She pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly from time to time, like a teenage girl.
She then noticed there were people in the living room. She hurriedly wiped off the smile on her face and coughed. âBrady, Deena, what are you guys looking at?â
Adeena frowned, âWhat are you wearing? Where have you been?â
âNo⦠Nowhere!â
She lowered her head guiltily.
All because she had swiped Adeenaâs invitation, she had been able to sneak into the banquet hall and meet a perfect man. .
âRuth, why do you look like that? Where did you go?â Brady had a headache. âWhat am I supposed to tell Aunt Jada?â
âI didnât do anything. Thereâs nothing to tell her.â Ruth snorted, âWell, you are drunk. If Aunt Hailey were to know this, sheâll definitely scold you. Mind your own business.â She took off her high heels and changed into her house shoes before closing the bedroom door behind her.
She sat at the dresser, admiring herself in the mirror.
âMy night mustâve been much better than Deenaâs.â
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She quickly took off the Heart of the Ocean and hid it in the drawer, and said in a loud voice, âCome in.â
Adeena opened the door and walked in. She then said in a cold voice, âIf you were to do something that dishonors the Willis family in Sea City, I wonât take it for you.â
âEven though I donât have much experience in romantic relationships, I can tell that Ruth went to see another man.
âA woman will only smile so sweetly when she has been on a date with a man she likes.
âBut this is only our first day in Sea City, and a man has asked her out already. Ruth mustâve done something in secretâ¦â
âWhatever I do will never embarrass the Willis family!â Ruth snorted. âYouâre just jealous of me, arenât you?â Adeena smiled, âWhy should I be jealous of you?â
âLook at these earrings and bracelets. Someone gave them to me.â Ruth could not help but boast. âHe loved me at first sight. He gave me a dress and two pieces of jewelry. They cost more than two million dollarsâ¦â
âNothing comes free in this world.â Adeena said indifferently, âHe gave you something worth two million dollars. Iâm sure he wants something more than that from you. Keep your wits about you, okay?â
After she was done speaking, she turned and left the room.
Iâve given her the advice. It doesnât matter what choice she makes after this.â
âHmph!â
Ruth sat by her bed, rubbing the bracelet on her wrist over and over again.
âMr. Jones looks like an elegant young man. Heâs so gentle, I donât think heâll deliberately deceive meâ¦â On the next day, Adeena was already up before the sun came out. She dressed up a little and took a cab to Winters Corporation. Other than wanting to have a detailed discussion with the person in charge of the corporation , she also wanted to find a way to change her job position.
âIf itâs possible, I donât want to be Duke Wintersâ secretary.
There will be no turning back if I were to throw myself into the lionâs den.â
The cab stopped in front of Winters Corporation. Adeena adjusted her clothes before walking in.
She went to the receptionist and asked, âIâm here to discuss a business contract with Mr. Wilson.â
âDo you have an appointmentâ¦?â The receptionist raised her head. She was stunned before she could finish speaking
