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. I

  • Married To a Stranger    Chapter 74

    Leo felt like his head was about to explode. Carter had done nothing. And yet he was being handed a position on a silver platter, just like that. The really thought, the very ease with which Carter was making strides in the company made Leo's blood boil. But he also knew better. He knew that with the deal between the two companies at such a critical point, a request like this was small potatoes to the Knight Group. With all these executives staring them down, Owen couldn't just shoot down a minor staffing change. It was infuriating. What was Jonathan's problem anyway? Even if the Cabots held a grudge, shouldn't their beef be with the main branch of the Knight family? Why is he coming after Owen? Owen, however, showed no sign of agitation. He was a master at keeping his emotions under wraps. Years at the top had honed him into someone who could bury his feelings so deeply. They might as we

    As Isabel had expected, the anger in Natalia's expression softened. She walked over and sighed, pulling her daughter close. "Oh, you silly girl. Why are you so sensitive? Besides, Ruby has stayed away all these years precisely because she was worried about this. She never wanted to take me from you, and I could never love her more than you. Don't let your imagination run away with you." Isabel sniffled. "Really?" Natalia chuckled. "Why would I lie to you?" A watery smile broke through Isabel's tears. "Then say it. Say you love me the most." Natalia sounded a little exasperated, but she played along for the sake of peace. "All right, Mom loves you the most." Isabel's smile felt a little more genuine right up until her mother added, "But from now on

    Nina glanced at the text, a small smile forming with her eidetic memory. She now connected the dots. Jonathan Cabot had already introduced himself to her over the phone back then, but she hadn't realised he was the same man Owen wanted to partner up with. What a small world. Ruby typed back. Okay, I'm on my way. In Cecilia's hospital room. Tension hung heavily. Jonathan checked his phone, then glanced around. Instead, his sister curled up motionless on the bed with a pale face. Their parents, Jonah and Carmella, paced anxiously nearby. "C.C., if you don't cooperate with your physical therapy, how are you ever going to get better? Please just be reasonable." Jonah pleaded, but Cecilia was resolute. "If you don't let me see Miss Anderson, I'm not doing any of it." Jonathan's brow creased. His sister's sheltered life had made her stubborn. That

    The question hung in the air. Carter was ecstatic. And in his stupidity, he missed the sarcastic grin on Owen's face. Owen paused for a moment, then added sarcastically. Or even better. How about I give you my position? Carter Knight, CEO of Knight Corp. Sounds better, doesn't it? Carter's breath hitched. Children, or knowingly share germs with one another, especially when they play. I used to get worried when he was away from me. But not anymore. His excitement vanished. The question hung in the air. Carter was ecstatic. And in his stupidity, he missed the sarcastic grin on Owen's face. Owen paused for a moment, then added sarcastically. Or even better. How about I give you my position? Carter Knight, CEO of Knight Corp. Sounds better, doesn't it? Carter's breath hitched, his excitement vanished. An invisible weight

    After her meeting with Natalia, Miles drove Ruby back to the hospital. Ruby stared out the window, quiet and distant, hoping everything would turn out well for Natalia's sake. Just as they arrived at the hospital parking lot, a sleek Bentley pulled into a nearby spot. Owen got out, his black suit jacket making his tall, lean frame seem even more imposing. It gave his handsome, unreadable face a severe, disciplined edge. Leo turned and spotted Ruby. A new hint of respect had crept into his voice, one he didn't even notice himself. Miss Ruby, he began, you are here too. He smiled and hurried over to greet her. Owen followed Leo's gaze. The girl, who usually carried herself with sharp defiance, was staring down at the pavement, lost in thought. There was a faint sadness clinging to her expression. Something raw and unguarded. Ruby heard Leo's voice and immediate

    After hanging up, Ruby stared blankly at the road ahead. She needed to figure out what was really going on between Isabel and Shane. And fast. If she didn't, Natalia would inevitably get dragged into the mess. Just then her phone buzzed, a message from Natalia, addressed to Dr. Anderson. Are you busy? There's something I've been thinking about, and I was hoping I could ask you. Ruby read the message. Ruby's fingers hovered for a moment before she replied, not at all. What's on your mind? Soon enough, a voice note arrived. Natalia's voice was hesitant. It's about that design proposal you sent to Knight. It was stolen by a young woman named Ruby Anderson. I was hoping. She paused and continued, her voice breaking. Hoping you might speak to them for me, maybe ask them not to press charges. Ruby's eyes narrowed as she stared at the glowing screen. She replayed the note, then again. A knot tightened

    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

  • Married To a Stranger    Unknown Husband

    Miss Anderson, you're already married. You cannot marry again. The shocked city clerk said flatly as he slid a paper towards Ruby. Here's your marriage certificate, so we cannot register you again. Ruby blinked, shocked. I'm sorry. What did you just say? You're married? He snapped, waving to the

    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

    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
