The Queen They Let Go (Alice and Eric) novel Chapter 440

That oracle came along too.

Ruby could only tell Irene that he was invited to pray for her good health.

Somehow, he managed to win Irene over. Not only that, Irene ended up liking him and warmly asked him to stay.

The guy didn't look very professional. He talked smoothly, knew how to charm people, and stuck close to her all the time.

Too close. He kept his eyes on her all the time.

What annoyed her the most was how good he was to Sandy.

Sometimes, he acted like a full-time dad. Cooking, watching over her, playing with her.

Sandy loved him.

At first, she had resisted his presence. Slowly, she accepted it.

In the end, she even thought about using her influence to turn him into a long-term consultant for Nolan Group.

But he left.

Thinking about the past made her eyes grow dim.

Xavier guessed she was remembering old times. He gave a small smile.

"Mason stayed single his whole life because of you, Ms. Randall. He helped you a lot. You should repay him at least once, right?"

Ruby snapped out of her thoughts.

The softness in her eyes disappeared.

"For his sake, I'm willing to hear your plan."

Xavier didn't mind her attitude.

After all, any woman bold enough to mess up his brother's life was not someone easy to deal with.

"I want you to ask Oscar for that mine. We've captured many people, but we still can't find the mine's real secret."

Ruby laughed at herself. "You should know my position in that family."

"But you're not divorced yet. You're still the one controlling Nolan Group. Oscar wants to cut losses and take Eric overseas to build something new.

"If that's the case, he'll definitely take what he wants from Nolan Group. You just give it to him first. Make it a trade."

Of course Ruby understood.

That was why she had leaked the news that Eric had left Nolan Group.

She was testing Oscar's reaction.

But until now, Oscar showed no response. Eric was calm too.

All company accounts were clean.

Nothing had been moved.

It made her frustrated.

Xavier smiled. "You're too impatient. A good hunter must have patience."

Ruby looked at him seriously. "If this is a trade, Mr. Sarratt, I want something from you."

Xavier lifted his eyes. His blue eyes looked cold.

"Ms. Randall, you really like pushing your luck."

Ruby smiled.

"But you don't have a choice. You have to cooperate."

Xavier let out a cold laugh.

"Fine. Tell me. What do you want?"

"I want him." Ruby's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm.
