Joycelyn swore she didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping–she had only come to retrieve her phone. But now, an unexpected anxiety began to creep over her.

She thought. What if that man in there tells Ruby about this? If Ruby finds out, that spoiled rich girl will definitely investigate. And if the truth comes to light, who knows what might happen to me?

A nervous feeling bubbled up inside her, and just as she was about to leave, she heard Carmelo’s voice again.

“Ellison, Ruby’s done so much for you. She cried for a long time when she got home yesterday and insisted that I explain everything to you. She loves you so much, that she mistook someone else for you.”

At hearing this, Joycelyn froze, her steps faltering. She had planned to leave, but now she couldn’t help but listen closely.

Ellison’s voice was cold, clearly frustrated as he responded, “Do you not understand what I’ve said, or have you not been listening at all?”

His patience was clearly running thin, and Joycelyn could feel the sharpness of his words.

He hated people bringing up the same old issues, especially Ruby. He hadn’t cared about her for a long time, and he couldn’t even remember what she looked like, despite her incessant attempts to get his attention.

Carmelo, sensing the tension, quickly backed down, saying, “Sorry, I was too concerned.”

“Take the watch and leave,” Ellison replied, his tone growing even colder.

Carmelo, though visibly uncomfortable, complied, grabbing the Rolex watch and leaving without another word.

The conversation inside ended too quickly, and Joycelyn didn’t even have time to leave.

As she waited by the door, she was unexpectedly caught off guard by Carmelo coming out.

Joycelyn felt relieved that when she had considered leaving earlier, she had only moved a few steps without drawing

attention.

As Carmelo passed by her, he casually glanced her way.

Joycelyn noticed, and her eyes landed on the paper bag he was holding. Clearly, it had been returned exactly as it was. Ellison’s voice followed shortly after. “Forget your phone?” he asked, his tone low.

Joycelyn quickly looked away, walked into the office, and said, “Mr. Grant, I’ll be going now. Call me if you need anything.” With that, she grabbed her phone and was about to leave without hesitation, aware that
