When Sharon arrived at the studio, Ruben was checking orders in her office, while Tiffany was dozing off by the front desk.
Seeing Sharon, Tiffany stood up and asked, "Sharon, I told you to rest for two more days.Why come here so early?"
Sharon walked towards her and went, "It's not a big deal anyway.I'm alright now.It's too boring at home.’ Tiffany yawned, "Right,
didn't you say you were going to Costspool? When?"
"I've booked a flight for tomorrow night,’ Sharon said.
"For how long? Are you coming back for the New Year?"
Sharon smiled and said, "Perhaps two or three days at most.I'll be back soon."
Tiffany nodded, "Good.I thought that if you don't come back for the New Year, Ruben and I will go to your place.I don't wanna go
back this year, since my parents will keep asking me about Asher and urging me to get married.I'm so tired of this."
"I met Daniel in the elevator.He asked me to tell you that he's sorry for what happened that day,’ Sharon said after a
pause.Tiffany waved her hand in a nonchalant manner, "He also asked Ruben to tell me this, but I'm all over it now.I'll just try to
avoid him in the future."
As they spoke, Ruben came out of the office and checked the time, "I'm going out."
Sharon nodded and asked casually, "Where are you going?"
"Somewhere.I'll be back soon.’
"Okay."
After Ruben left, Tiffany whispered, "Is he in love or something? He's been so mysterious recently."
Sharon shook her head, "I don't think so."
Tiffany sighed and said, "Look, these blessed ones have a lot of people chasing after them, but they don't appreciate it.People
like us always dream of falling in love, but simply cannot meet the one? It's unfair!"
As for Ruben, he arrived at the address sent to him by the private detective and waited there for ten minutes.
But no one came.

He took out his phone and was about to call someone when a few hoodlums appeared behind him.
They were hired thugs of the casino that Josh used to go to.
So when they saw Ruben, they tried to provoke him with obscenities, "The son of that jerk Josh, right? I heard that you got
admitted to university.What's wrong? You have the money to study, but you don't have the money to pay off your father's debts?"

Ruben ignored them and was about to leave, but he was stopped.
"I heard that Josh sold your sister to a sugar daddy and earned millions.Now, she probably doesn't worth that much, but..."
Another person immediately followed, "How about you ask your sister to play with us and I'll forget about the money.What do you
think?"
Then, everyone else burst into a roar of laughter.
Ruben punched this man and smashed him against the wall.
Seeing this, the others all joined the fight.
After a while, the man who was first smashed by Ruben spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wearing a murderous look, he took out a dagger from his pocket and walked forward.
Just as he was stabbing towards Ruben, his wrist received a strong kick.
He then fell over to the corner and cried out in pain.
Ruben turned around and found that all the other men behind him had already been subdued.
At this point, a black Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the alley and out came Jameson.
Ruben frowned.
What's he doing here? Jameson cast a glance at Ruben and then gently raised his hand.
A man wearing glasses was thrown at Ruben's feet.
It was this private investigator Ruben contacted earlier.

He pushed up his broken glasses and lay in front of Ruben.
"I'm sorry, sir.I'm a snob! I shouldn't have lied to you just for some money.It's all my fault.Here's the money you gave me, and
also the money they gave me.I'll give it all to you.Please let me go..."
He then took out a credit card from his bag and shoved it into Ruben's hand.
Ruben pursed his lips and squatted down.
He grabbed this man's tie and went, "Are you fooling me?"
"It's all my fault.I know that I'm wrong.I promise you that it's the last time."
Ruben looked cold, "You told me that you found out about that person.Was it all fake?"
"They told me to Say it.I have no choice.It's been so many years.Even the face on the photo went vague.How could I possibly
find him?"
"Who are they?"

This man answered, "I don't know either.I took the money and did as told.You know the rules! I'm not supposed to ask too
much...’ Ruben loosened him and stood up with a cold look.
Jameson raised his hand and ordered, "Take care of him."
"Got it."
Then, the private detective and those gangsters were taken away.
Calm was finally restored.
Jameson looked at him and said indifferently, "Next time, don't be so impulsive.How could you easily buy whatever other people
say.You are just like your sister."
Ruben said after a long pause, "How did you know?"
"In this world, money is everything."Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Ruben was speechless at this point.
Jameson turned around and said, "Get in the car.I'll take you back."
Ruben stood there and hesitated for a while.
Finally, he bent down and followed Jameson into his car.
On their way back, Jacob received a call and said, "Mr.Proctor, everything is settled."
Jameson nodded with his eyes closed.
He looked emotionless.
After a few minutes, Ruben said, "Don't tell Sharon about this."
Hearing this, Jameson slowly opened his eyes.
Ruben added, "She will be worried."
"If you know that she will be worried, why do you still act without thinking about the consequences?"
Ruben frowned and said, "I didn't expect to see these people there.”
"You don't consider it an accident, do you?"
Ruben pursed his lips tight and didn't say a word.
It really didn't seem like a coincidence.
Jameson said in a low voice, "You may not even know when you fell prey to others."
Ruben didn't know who had bribed that private investigator, nor did he know what they are up to.
However, he could tell by instinct that it was the same person who had set him up in front of the school gate as he who had gone
to Sharon's studio to make things difficult for her.
"Then do you know who is behind all this?"
"Of course.".

Jameson looked at him, "I can hide this from your sister and tell you who is behind this, but you have to promise me one thing.’’
