When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 156
She went out for a stroll and came back to find their dead bodies.
She must never lose her only family again in this world.
âOkay, okay, Iâm not going anywhere. Iâll be at the market,â Ruby said as she looked around. âIn front of the store that sells meat. Iâll be right here.â
âAlright,â Gina replied in a grave tone.
Then Gina was out the door as fast as she could.
Ruby finished the call, and the smile disappeared from her face..
Cole Yaleâ¦

Just hearing the name made her clutch the phone tightly.
Inside, she couldnât calm down for a long time.
It turned out she hadnât been mistaken. It turned out that âLucasâ was Cole!
The wanted man who escaped several years ago had now escaped from prison again,
âI never thought that we would meet again.â A somber voice suddenly rang in Rubyâs ears.
Ruby looked up and saw Coleâs figure. The moment she saw him, she didnât show her fear but looked at him with gritted teeth. âCole, itâs you. Itâs really you.
Cole smiled sinisterly. âYes, itâs me. The last time we met, I didnât even greet you. After all, at that time, it wasnât very convenient. Well, I didnât expect you to recognize me at first glance. It really surprised me.â
After all, he had undergone plastic surgery once.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stay with the Miller family with L*sâs id*entity for so many years without being discovered as a fraud.
Because Olivia looked so much like him.
Coleâs heart flooded with softness when he thought of Olivia, his daughter.
Ruby clenched the basket in her hand, looking at Cole with hatred in her eyes. She was so angry that she was trembling. âYou scourge!â
Cole laughed. âYes, Iâm a scourge. Scourges stay forever, unlike your short-lived son and husband, who died early. I thought youâd long gone down to accompany them, I didnât think youâd actually still be alive.â
What he didnât realize was that Ruby even got involved with Gina, the Miller familyâs own daughter.
He was even tempted to exclaim in his heart, âWhat a small world!â
âIl kill you, Iâll kill you!â Ruby was trembling with rage to her core.

Chapter 156
Her son and husband were investigating the black market trade in human o**ns when they were killed. Her husband was murdered by Coleâs henchmen, who slit his throat. Her son, swearing to avenge his father, joined the investigation and ultimately died at Coleâs hands.
Because Cole had an intricate network of connections and was aided by a massive dark force, he escaped justice.
Cole looked at Ruby with a sneer. âYou kill me? With what? Youâre the one who should be scared right now, arenât you?â
âOh, maybe youâre not scared,â he continued, âAfter all, if I kill you, you can go to hell and be with your son and husband, right? A family reunion.â
âShut up! You donât deserve to mention them!â Ruby said through gritted teeth.
She struggled to remain calm, knowing that the more agitated she became, the more it would amuse Cole, this beast in front of her.

Ruby sneered. âI thought a beast like you would hide in a dark corner for the rest of your life, living like a rat, I didnât expect you to change your identity and work as a housekeeper for the Miller family just for your daughter! But what a pity! Youâve committed so many sins, so your daughter is worthless and evil-minded. Sheâs ended up as an outcast, abandoned by her parents, her engagement broken off because of promiscuity, and abandoned by her fiancé. Now, the Miller family has rejected her because her real father killed her adoptive father. And you, her real father, had to be on the run again. Sheâs once again an unwanted orphanâ¦
Rubyâs words truly enraged Cole. âYou seek death! Donât worry, Iâm here today to send you to be reunited with your short-lived son and husband in the hell
Ruby laughed through her tears. Would a beast like him who killed and committed devilish deeds care about others to judge his own daughter?
Coleâs remaining humanity, shown through Olivia, made Ruby sick to her stomach.
âThere are so many people here. You want to kill me? Can you run away if you kill me?â Ruby glared back undaunted. She spoke more to Cole, hoping she could stall for time until Gina came to get her.
Cole sneered. âYouâre still useful. I wonât kill you right now. Come with me.
âYou think Iâm s**d? I wonât go with you.â Ruby acted determined. âJust kill me right here if you dare.â
There was a police station near the market. If Cole really dared to kill her in public, he wouldnât be able to run away.
She was not afraid of death. If her death could ensure Cole went into jail and wouldnât escape anymore, then she would die without regret.
Howeverâ¦
What would Gina do if she died?
She hadnât seen Gina get married to Gabriel yet.
Cole said viciously, âWho are you to bargain with me?â
He pulled out a pistol from his pocket, showing it to Ruby. âYou know what this is, donât you? Itâs got ten rounds in it. If you donât come with me, Iâm going to start shooting random passersby. What do you think? You should know Iâll do what I say. I canât escape, but Iâll take a few more down the hell with me. Is that what you want?â
Ruby blanched. She could die, but innocent passersby shouldnât be implicated. âYou want to use me to threaten Gina?â
Cole sneered. âSeems that youâre not s**d. If you go with me now, these passersby will be safe. My patience is limited. Three, twoâ¦â
Iâll go with you!â Ruby said.

Cole glanced at Rubyâs basket and kicked it over
The basket fell to the ground.
Gina jogged into the market and made her way to the front of the b**r store. There was no sign of Ruby at the door. She turned her head and saw Rubyâs basket of groceries sitting on a chair inside the b**r store.
Gina ran inside, thinking Ruby might have gone in to rest, but still, there was no sign of her.
She asked the store owner, âHey, the person with this basket-did you see her? She was just standing in front of your store just now!â
attention. She seemed to have left, but her
âYes,â the b**r replied. âThere was a woman standing there earlier, but I was busy and didnât pay basket spilled in front of the store. I picked it up and left it there, thinking she might come back for it. Why, is she a relative of yours?â
Gina no longer had the heart to listen to what the b** r was saying.
