Married To a Stranger Chapter 65
The second mile spoke, the room fell dead silent. Every head swiveled between him and Isabel as a wave of confusion washed over them. Even Owen, who was generally conservative with his emotions, leaned forward with interest. Well, now this sounds interesting. He whispered, inwardly, leo, on the other hand, could not handle the twist. He had enough surprises for one day already. He looked like his brain was about to explode. Carter shot Ruby a sharp, baffled look. What the hell is going on? Ruby bit her lip and lifted her chin. Her eyes met Miles's gaze head-on. The solutions Dr. Anderson sent of Ants Industries were private, she said, coolly. They had nothing to do with Knight Corporation. And since you're only his assistant, I wouldn't expect you to know about them. Carter felt the tension ease from his shoulders. Ruby pressed on, her voice sharp. With all due respect, Mr. Jordan. Are you suggesting we just drop this? Because if you are, we would prefer you just say it straig

Sheila looked at Carter for support. But she got nothing from him. He just looked sideways, pretending he had nothing to do with it. She then looked for Isabel, but she had nothing to offer either. "Ma'am. Let me ask you again," the HR Director began, "how did you know it was the files related to the hydrogen fuel plan?" Sheila sputtered, words failing her before she bowed her head in defeat. "I don't care. I did it. It has nothing to do with my daughter. Call the police. Arrest me. It was all my fault." The director sighed again. His expression was a mixture of pity and concern as he looked at the kneeling woman. Carter's eyes stayed locked on Sheila. He should have despised this woman, but watching her debase herself for her daughter sent a sharp and unwanted sympathy through his chest. He rounded on Ruby. "Say something," he roared. "Are you really going to stand there and let your mother take the fall for you? Do you have any shame?" The HR director's voice follo
Married To a Stranger Chapter 63
As Owen and Leo headed for HR, Ruby stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for her department. This wasn't just a usual day, and she knew it. She'd only taken two steps, and as if right on cue, Todd Mullins's voice slithered up from behind her. Ruby, look, I don't know what's going on between you and the CEO, but you've got to admit his reputation around here isn't exactly solid. He paused and leaned in closer. Word is, he might not be in power for much longer. I'm just looking out for you. You are a smart one. You shouldn't get on Carter's bad side. Todd was Carter's right-hand man, and after seeing Carter and Ruby interact a few times, he had a pretty good idea where his boss's loyalties lay. He lowered his voice. Stick with him. Things will fall into place for you. At the very least, he can help you clean up the mess you're about to walk into. Ruby looked at him coolly. Her almond-shaped eyes were calm, detached. She smiled faintly, turned on her heel, and walked straight

Owen's suggestion hung in the air. It took Ruby a few moments to snap out of her reading streak. She glanced out the window, and it really did look like a beautiful day. Maybe I need a break too, she thought to herself. She looked at Owen and nodded. Kitty stood up and wagged his tail as though he was asking to take him along with her. All right. I think you deserve a break too, she remarked, and went on to help Matilda get ready. "Are you coming along as well?" Matilda asked, looking at Owen. Owen wasn't sure. His immediate gaze fell upon Ruby, but before he could react, Matilda chimed in. Let me make it easier for you. You are coming. End of discussion. Soon enough, they made their way to the hospital garden. Ruby found a bench and helped Matilda get settled. Then she stared out at the distant lake, her mind replaying the neurology concepts she'd just been reading. Owen's voice suddenly cut through her thoughts. Do you spend a lot of your time online? Ruby looked over at him, dresse
Married To a Stranger Chapter 61
Vision. He was the one who showed her what. Ruby wasn't exaggerating. When she was a freshman, her major had felt dull, borderline meaningless. That changed the day she sat in on Professor Miller's class. He didn't just teach theory; he taught vision. He was the one who showed her what the field could become, the one who put her on the path she walked today. Her words fell like a hammer. The entire office went silent. Professor Miller stared at her, stunned. The dean's brow furrowed. What are you talking about? Ruby drew a breath to answer, but someone beat her to it. She's right. Chris stepped forward. Without pioneers like Professor Miller, where would Dr. N even be? New energy only took off in the last few years, but my professor has been working in this field for over two decades. The foundations he and others paved, the road that others walk on today. He turned sharply toward the dean. What you just said was completely out of line. Even if Dr. N were standing here herself, she'
Married To a Stranger Chapter 60
Ruby's words sent a shiver down Isabel's spine. She couldn't shake off the feeling Ruby's smile meant she knew something Isabel didn't. But Ruby's smugness made her blood boil. You think Doctor N will confront me? God, Ruby, you're so naive. Something this trivial won't reach them. She shot back with a surge of renewed confidence. The implication was clear. Doctor N was completely out of the loop, and no one would dare bother them with it, so Ruby was going to take the fall. Period. Ruby's smirk only grew wider; her eyes danced with mischief instead of fear. Isabel, if you play with fire, you're going to get burned. With that, she walked away without looking back. Isabel's cold expression dissolved into one of panic. Why the hell is she not freaking out at all? She hissed. On the other hand, Owen's meeting ran until eight. As he exited the boardroom, Julian rushed over. Owen, I was hoping I could ask you for a favor. Owen kept walking toward the elevator without breaking stride. Speak
Married To a Stranger Who Knows Dr.N
Ruby had guarded her identity as Dr. N fiercely, planning to keep it hidden for as long as possible. It was the only sanctuary she had from the toxicity of her other life. They're trying hard. But don't worry, we'll maintain complete confidentiality. Miles assured. You sure? She pressed. Absolu
Married To a Stranger Owen Knight
In an instant, Owen's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, completely void of emotion. He stared at her for a second, then turned to head back into the party. Ruby quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Owen's brow furrowed. Move, he ordered. His voice was low and smooth. The kind of v
Married To a Stranger Enter into the Knight
With Ruby lost in her own thought,"Shelia was taking her own trip down her memory. Had that wretched Natalia not appeared over twenty years ago. I would have been Warren's bride. Sheila reflected sourly. For two decades, she had lived with a secret only she knew. Her hatred for Natalia had ru
Married To a Stranger Husband from the sky
To them,She was still the unwanted one, and Ruby never bothered correcting them. Let them underestimate her, let them sneer. Because the day they learned she was Doctor N, they'd latch on to her again and use her all over. Ruby vowed that she would never let that happen. There was no way in hell
