Chapter 10 Playing the Fool
“What about the things last night? I helped you to get away with those people and that’s how you are
going to repay me?” Ruby was a little bit worried but still pretending to be calm like she wasn’t even
afraid of him.
She had placed a silver needle in between her fingers. Once he was going to do something bad to her,
she would let him regret it right away.
“Oh? So, how do you want me to repay you?” Levi took a look at her fingers and smiles scornfully.
Ruby forced herself to look at Levi and said, “If you are grateful to me, you should release me right
now…”
Before she could finish her words, she was astonished.
The man approached her all of a sudden. Ruby tried to move back instinctively, but Levi held the back
of her head and pushed it towards him.
She felt numb with shock at that moment.
The face of Levi was so close to her that his warm breaths were blowing by her ear. His hand moved
down slowly to her neck and clenched slightly. Levi was appreciating this like a hunter appreciating his
prey, “Your neck was so thin…”
…That he could break it easily.
Ruby opened her eyes widely out of fear and surprise.
She left her weak spot open to him!
That was a silly mistake she had never done before!
While Ruby was thinking about making a suicide attack with the silver needle, Levi said, “If you really
don’t want to give it back to me, that’s fine. But the pendant is the love token I’m going to give my
fiancée. Now that you want to keep it, does it mean that you want to marry me?”
Ruby broke out into cold sweat after hearing his words.
Levi touched the sweat on her neck and smiled, “Are you afraid?”
With her idea being disclosed, she pushed Levi away and said coldly, “Shameless!”
“It sounds disgraceful to let you betray Mr. Finn and marry me, but…” Levi said.
“I love doing this,” he smiled.
“Can you prove that I’m the one who took your pendant?” Ruby believed that he had no evidence about
it, “Maybe you lost it the way you were being hunted down, and that was not my fault.”
Seeing him hesitating, Ruby knew she made the right choice.
He couldn’t prove that.
So, she even felt more wronged with the rims of her eyes turning red, “I was so kind to help you last
night but now you are kidnapping me in return and blaming me for something I had never done. You
can’t bully me just because I come back from abroad not long ago!”
After hearing this, Levi stopped hesitating and smiled, “You almost got me fooled.”
Before he could say something, a message was coming through his earphone, “Sir, the men from the
Finn family are coming to us. They are going to crash into our car.”
The men from the Finn family?
Levi gave the order decisively, “Stop the car.”
The driver hurriedly parked the car by the roadside. Levi adjusted his sitting gesture and moved away Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
his sight at her, “I don’t know whether you took my pendant or not, but you better not let me find any
evidence about it. Get out of the car.”
“…”
Ruby got off the car and saw the car leave the place quickly. She frowned and felt weird about his
behavior.
Did he really afraid of the men from the Finn family?
