Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 234

Ruby replied, "I got back first; my mom came back afterwards, but she only stayed for a while."

Jeannie just responded with a nod.

"Ms. Coleman, why didn't you guys tell me when you were coming back? I could've picked you up from the airport."

Jeannie laughed, saying, "If we wanted a pick-up, all we needed was a phone call. No need to bother you."

She had two sons. Even if they're busy, all it took was one call, and they'll drop everything to pick her up from the airport. Or she could call the housekeeper, who would personally go to the airport. There were plenty of people around the house; there was really no need to bother Ruby.

"It's no bother at all; it'd be my pleasure to pick you up. Ms. Coleman, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to let me know. You always say that Stefan, being a man, might not think of certain things that I might."

"You just got back home; your business must not have settled down yet, right? How could I bother you at such a busy time?"

Mentioning her business, Ruby fell silent for a moment.

"What's up? Are you running into any business troubles?"

Ruby's silence alerted Jeannie that something was off.

Jeannie might be approachable, but that didn't mean she's not sharp. She's lived in high society her whole life; she's seen it all.

"Ms. Coleman, I did run into some business problems."

"What happened? What kind of problems?"

Jeannie was only asking about her problems; she didn't promise to help solve them.


Ruby knew that Jeannie might seem easy to talk to, but she's even more cunning than Olina. Olina was just proud, she's not as deep as Jeannie.
