Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 969

After being taken to the police station, Ruby knew she couldn't keep hiding the truth, so she confessed everything. She had already anticipated this outcome when making her choices.

It seemed her luck had never been good.

Born into a family that valued sons over daughters, she had worked hard to get into university and join a lab.

Her family, desperate to repay her brother's gambling debts, tried to force her into marrying an old widower from her village.

If it hadn't been for Sullivan saving her on several occasions, she might have already ended up living that life.

Selling the apartment Sullivan left her was supposed to be her way out-a chance to start fresh in a place where no one knew her. But life, as always, had other plans.

Ruby knew she had been selfish and greedy. Still, if her family hadn't pushed her to the brink, she might never have gone down this path. After finishing her confession, she told the officer, "I'd like to see someone."
