Too Late to Melt Her Frozen Heart Chapter 17
Marcus could not believe what he was hearing. Vera had completely lost it and was willing to bring everyone down with her.The entire warehouse erupted in chaos with everyone scrambling for the exit.In the meantime, Lars used everything he had in him to get up on his feet and stagger toward Ruby.When he saw the five-minute countdown, he nervously swallowed the blood in his mouth before bending over her to try to disarm the bomb."Lars…"Ruby's voice was shaking. Tears streamed down her face.Lars wiped away her tears. His hands were shaking as well."Don't be scared, I'm here. I won't leave you alone."There were only two minutes left until detonation. Lars hardly knew how to disarm a bomb and resorted to hoping for the best and removing the metal clasp on top.Removing the cover revealed two wires inside—one red, one blue. It seemed like one of them needed to be cut.All the color had drained out of Ruby's face by then. She was fading out of consciousness from blood loss.

Ruby felt a splitting headache when she opened her bleary eyes, only to find herself lying in an abandoned warehouse.There were several burly men. In the midst of them was Vera, who was standing with her back facing Ruby's direction and was talking to one of the men."Marcus, I told you I was going to bring you the daughter of the Bretners. Here she is."The man who was addressed as Marcus seemed to be blind in one eye, evident by the eyepatch he wore.He smiled approvingly. "Not bad, so you're not useless after all. I knew breaking you out of the asylum was worth the trouble."He adjusted his eye patch before stating hatefully, "It was Karl who blinded me many years ago. I had to go back to Rheinberg for several years while I recovered. Now that I have his dear sister here, I'll make sure she's well-treated..."Vera's eyes gleamed with excitement. "You should just finish her off right now. Make it quick and end this once and for all!"Marcus snappily interrupted Vera. "I need

Karl held a reception to welcome Ruby home, inviting prominent figures from across Arona to celebrate her return.The moment Ruby stepped under the spotlight dressed in a haute couture gown styled to match the heirloom her mother had given to her, everyone erupted in applause.Karl gently took her hand to lead her to the front of the stage."My beloved sister, the pearl of the Bretners, has finally returned."Up on the stage, Ruby felt her heart drop when she glanced at a discreet corner and noticed Lars. He was like a ghost that refused to stop haunting her.Karl noticed as well and was just about to order his bodyguards to remove Lars when Ruby stopped him."Let me handle this myself. I need to put an end to this, otherwise, this will go on forever."With that, she lifted her dress and stepped off the stage to approach Lars.As she got closer, she noticed the scars on Lars' face. His eyes that once gleamed vibrantly with life now seemed hollow.Ruby did not hold back. "Lars,

Meanwhile, Ruby was completely oblivious to what happened that night. She had a good night's sleep.When she went downstairs, she found Karl at the dining table savoring a cup of coffee while going through some reports."What are you doing here?"Karl cast a faint look at her, then gestured for her to sit down and eat while remarking, "I decided to stay on the ground floor since you were worried. This area happened to be near my office anyway."With that, Ruby sat across from him and started nibbling at a piece of bread.She had a hard time figuring out Karl. She was aware this place was some distance away from Bretner Corporation and that he would have to take a detour to get to work."If you want to go shopping, bring the bodyguards with you just to be on the safe side."After that, they ate the rest of their meal in silence.Since Ruby wanted to head out for a walk and get some fresh air, she decided to leave with Karl after breakfast.Just as she was about to get into the

When Lars went to Ruby's house to deliver gifts again, he was told that the owner had moved out.His eyes darkened immediately upon hearing this. He reached for his phone to call Jerome, "Find out where Ruby is! There's no way she could've disappeared in a day!"He had been overwhelmed the past few days because Ruby had been ignoring him. He was far more irritable than usual.When Lars sat on the couch, he pinched his brow endlessly while recalling what Ruby told him the other day.He must not have admitted his mistakes sincerely enough. That was why Ruby would not forgive him.She must still be upset with Vera.Then, he tapped on a recorded footage of Vera being tortured in an asylum. In the video, Vera was surrounded by several men clad in hospital gowns and repeatedly attacking Vera with stun guns.Vera looked like a shadow of her former self. There was a long scar had been carved across her face and she looked to be dazed and disoriented.When Lars watched the video, he smi

Ruby kept her eyes fixed on the ground. Her voice was calm as she said, "When you cheated on me, it didn't seem like you cared to ask if it was fair. Don't you ever show your face in front of me again."When Lars watched her figure shrinking into the distance, he clenched his fists so tightly that his hands hurt.After that day, Ruby started to receive flowers and a variety of gifts at her doorstep every day. The gifts were an assortment of jewelry and, on occasion, a designer bag. However, they were all in styles she used to like.She habitually tossed the gifts straight into the trash.She did not know how Lars managed to find her address. She decided she could not live here any longer.With that, she hesitated for a moment before dialing a number."Hey, I remember you told me I could contact you if I ever needed help. I need help moving to a more secluded place."Karl Bretner was reviewing documents when he answered. His deep voice echoed, "Ruby?"After falling silent for a
