Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 362: Forceful

Moira figured she could indeed investigate Ruby’s matter, but it would likely leave many traces, and if detected halfway, all efforts would be in vain.

After pondering for a while, she realized only Aiden Webb could help her.

With some embarrassment, Moira Young explained the situation to Aiden Webb. Relieved at seeing that Moira wasn’t in more trouble, Aiden’s tensed body relaxed, "I thought it was something major. The results should be out tonight, don’t worry."

Upon hearing this, Moira was apologetic, "I’m troubling you with this, I’ll treat you to a meal next time."

"Why not this time?" Aiden teased, to which Moira cleverly replied, "Of course, but since you’re in Solara now, can you really make it back?"

She had just seen Aiden appearing in Solara on the trending topic list at noon and responded without pressure.

Aiden helplessly ended the call after a brief chat.

Due to the matter concerning Moira’s identity earlier, he had been busy and even traveled abroad. Having just returned a couple of days ago, he was caught up in new work and had not had a chance to see Moira.

He didn’t expect Moira to reach out to him.

Thinking about it brought a smile to Aiden’s face; it seemed the little girl hadn’t forgotten him.

Yet, Aiden was oblivious to the recent events in Moira’s life, let alone that she had broken up with Julian Sinclair. If he knew, he probably wouldn’t be so calm.

That evening, Moira indeed received an electronic file from Aiden. It contained not only introductions and contact details of Ruby’s financial backers but also intimate photos of the two.

Seeing Ruby leaning on the greasy man with a fawning smile, Moira suddenly felt nauseated.

Although Ruby was indeed detestable, she couldn’t deny that Ruby had good qualifications; it was just that her character was far from commendable.

However, it’s best not to mess with Moira again!

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, and she was far more advanced than a rabbit.

In the following days, Moira immersed herself in busy work again.

As time went on, the weather grew colder, and except for a few cities, most required people to wear down jackets to feel comfortable.

Moira breathed warmth into her hands, glanced at the numbered card she held, and waited patiently without urgency.

However, before she had sat for half a minute, her shoulder was suddenly tapped. Ruby, dressed fashionably, stood less than half a meter away, arrogantly nodding her head, saying, "Come with me."

Moira remained unmoved, sitting steadily, asking with a faint smile, "Why should I go with you?"

Though her audition number was indeed quite late, it didn’t mean she was going to waste her time.

Her eyebrows raised suddenly in realization, "Are you going to pull another trick like last time?"

Her emphasis on the last few words inadvertently reminded Ruby of that humiliating slap, making her almost cry out.

But when Ruby’s gaze swept over the countless silhouettes around her, she forcibly held back, her tone neither good nor bad, "You can come or not, but aren’t there things you really want to know?"

"For example, why your office was suddenly relocated." She intentionally elongated the last syllable, her eyes lifting triumphantly.

Sure enough, Moira raised her exquisite little face, flawless as if without any blemish.

In the entertainment industry, few people were likely better looking than her, right?

Jealousy filled Ruby as she withdrew her gaze without waiting for a response and turned to walk forward on her own.

Her red high heels clacked crisply on the ground, notably loud.

Moira paused, eventually following along, hearing Ruby scoff disdainfully at the sound.

She presented herself as so noble, yet ultimately was still led by the nose with just a few words from Ruby.

Truth be told, Ruby’s confrontation at this location with Moira was an act of desperation.

She had originally intended to go directly to Moira’s home, but for some inexplicable reason, she couldn’t find her address.

With no choice, she resorted to this tactic.

After all, she absolutely had to get this role.

Flicking a button on her clothes, Ruby nimbly slipped into a small room.

It was a secluded route, and by now, there were hardly any people nearby.

Moira assessed her own petite frame, calculated it, and walked in.

Ruby slammed the door shut securely, fully shedding her pretense in front of outsiders.

Moira nonchalantly took a step back, "What do you mean by changing the office?"

"What do I mean? Exactly what you think it means!" Ruby replied condescendingly, then as if bestowing charity, added, "Also, I suggest you voluntarily give up on this audition. Otherwise, it won’t just be about the office being changed."

The grudge from that slap still hadn’t been avenged.

Recollecting the promise made to her, Ruby’s posture grew increasingly proud, like an arrogant iron rooster.

Moira tilted her head, her clear eyes blinking, yet contrary to Ruby’s expectations, she didn’t agree. Instead, she smiled, "Ruby, are you sure you want me to quit?"

"Of course!"

"Then, Ruby, before threatening others, shouldn’t you consider whether you’ve done anything bad, or if you might have some leverage against you?"

Leverage?

Ruby immediately thought of that matter, her momentum faltering slightly, though her facade didn’t change. She snorted, aggressive as ever, "What could I have? If you have the guts, say it! I reckon you’re just scared and making things up."

Her dealings were so discreet, how could anyone discover them?

Thinking through it, Ruby relaxed, her red lips curling upward maliciously, speaking in a put-on manner, "I advise you to heed my words and give up. Stop wasting time. Concerning your defamations, I’ll act as if I didn’t hear them. How’s that?"

In her view, she had already been extremely gracious. If Moira insisted on opposing her, then she shouldn’t blame Ruby for being ruthless.

Her gaze turned momentarily fierce, yet when she saw Moira remaining unruffled, that face others envied uplifted slightly without fear.

Even though Moira was shorter, her aura overwhelmed Ruby significantly.

A sense of foreboding arose in Ruby’s heart, and she gripped her hand in slight panic.

The next moment, Moira gently chuckled, her voice crisp, "Yes, you’re absolutely right; one should never fabricate things recklessly."

"So, I never say things without assurance." Moira’s tone abruptly shifted, "Of course, when I say there’s leverage, there’s definitely leverage. For example, Ruby’s recent close encounters with a man."

Ruby’s face changed, growing ugly.

Yet Moira, as if seeing nothing, continued speaking to herself, "If I’m not mistaken, Ruby, that man’s surname is Zhao, right? And he’s a minor shareholder of our AE company."

She continually referred to Ruby respectfully, and though she didn’t explicitly state it, she’d already caused the blood to drain from Ruby’s face.

Staring at Moira in horror, Ruby couldn’t speak for a long while. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Every point Moira mentioned accurately matched her recent activities.
