Watching Ruby Redmond turn and leave, and then close the door, she knew what despair truly was within her heart.
She was left with only a hundred and fifty bucks.
She didn't even know where she would sleep tonight.
Sebastian Ford's words were never just empty threats, and now they were fulfilled, taking away the only job she could rely on to support herself.
Stunned for quite a while, she left in a daze.
...
After getting into the car, as soon as Sebastian Ford started the engine, the ringtone of his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, he answered the call with the required respect, without missing a beat: "Cousin."
"What's up?"
The voice over the phone sounded very tired, as if he hadn't slept for several nights.
Sebastian Ford frowned, pressed his lips together, and asked, "Is it convenient to meet now?"
"Is there something you can't say over the phone?"
Sebastian Ford: "No."
