Chapter 156
She went out for a stroll and came back to find their dead bodies.
She must never lose her only family again in this world.
“Okay, okay, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be at the market,” Ruby said as she looked around. “In front of the store that sells meat. I’ll be right here.”
“Alright,” Gina replied in a grave tone.
Then Gina was out the door as fast as she could.
Ruby finished the call, and the smile disappeared from her face..
Cole Yale…

Just hearing the name made her clutch the phone tightly.
Inside, she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
It turned out she hadn’t been mistaken. It turned out that “Lucas” was Cole!
The wanted man who escaped several years ago had now escaped from prison again,
“I never thought that we would meet again.” A somber voice suddenly rang in Ruby’s ears.
Ruby looked up and saw Cole’s figure. The moment she saw him, she didn’t show her fear but looked at him with gritted teeth. “Cole, it’s you. It’s really you.
Cole smiled sinisterly. “Yes, it’s me. The last time we met, I didn’t even greet you. After all, at that time, it wasn’t very convenient. Well, I didn’t expect you to recognize me at first glance. It really surprised me.”
After all, he had undergone plastic surgery once.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stay with the Miller family with L*s’s id*entity for so many years without being discovered as a fraud.
Because Olivia looked so much like him.
Cole’s heart flooded with softness when he thought of Olivia, his daughter.
Ruby clenched the basket in her hand, looking at Cole with hatred in her eyes. She was so angry that she was trembling. “You scourge!”
Cole laughed. “Yes, I’m a scourge. Scourges stay forever, unlike your short-lived son and husband, who died early. I thought you’d long gone down to accompany them, I didn’t think you’d actually still be alive.”
What he didn’t realize was that Ruby even got involved with Gina, the Miller family’s own daughter.
He was even tempted to exclaim in his heart, ‘What a small world!”
“Il kill you, I’ll kill you!” Ruby was trembling with rage to her core.

Chapter 156
Her son and husband were investigating the black market trade in human o**ns when they were killed. Her husband was murdered by Cole’s henchmen, who slit his throat. Her son, swearing to avenge his father, joined the investigation and ultimately died at Cole’s hands.
Because Cole had an intricate network of connections and was aided by a massive dark force, he escaped justice.
Cole looked at Ruby with a sneer. “You kill me? With what? You’re the one who should be scared right now, aren’t you?”
“Oh, maybe you’re not scared,” he continued, “After all, if I kill you, you can go to hell and be with your son and husband, right? A family reunion.”
“Shut up! You don’t deserve to mention them!” Ruby said through gritted teeth.
She struggled to remain calm, knowing that the more agitated she became, the more it would amuse Cole, this beast in front of her.

Ruby sneered. “I thought a beast like you would hide in a dark corner for the rest of your life, living like a rat, I didn’t expect you to change your identity and work as a housekeeper for the Miller family just for your daughter! But what a pity! You’ve committed so many sins, so your daughter is worthless and evil-minded. She’s ended up as an outcast, abandoned by her parents, her engagement broken off because of promiscuity, and abandoned by her fiancé. Now, the Miller family has rejected her because her real father killed her adoptive father. And you, her real father, had to be on the run again. She’s once again an unwanted orphan…
Ruby’s words truly enraged Cole. “You seek death! Don’t worry, I’m here today to send you to be reunited with your short-lived son and husband in the hell
Ruby laughed through her tears. Would a beast like him who killed and committed devilish deeds care about others to judge his own daughter?
Cole’s remaining humanity, shown through Olivia, made Ruby sick to her stomach.
“There are so many people here. You want to kill me? Can you run away if you kill me?” Ruby glared back undaunted. She spoke more to Cole, hoping she could stall for time until Gina came to get her.
Cole sneered. “You’re still useful. I won’t kill you right now. Come with me.
“You think I’m s**d? I won’t go with you.” Ruby acted determined. “Just kill me right here if you dare.”
There was a police station near the market. If Cole really dared to kill her in public, he wouldn’t be able to run away.
She was not afraid of death. If her death could ensure Cole went into jail and wouldn’t escape anymore, then she would die without regret.
However…
What would Gina do if she died?
She hadn’t seen Gina get married to Gabriel yet.
Cole said viciously, “Who are you to bargain with me?”
He pulled out a pistol from his pocket, showing it to Ruby. “You know what this is, don’t you? It’s got ten rounds in it. If you don’t come with me, I’m going to start shooting random passersby. What do you think? You should know I’ll do what I say. I can’t escape, but I’ll take a few more down the hell with me. Is that what you want?”
Ruby blanched. She could die, but innocent passersby shouldn’t be implicated. “You want to use me to threaten Gina?”
Cole sneered. “Seems that you’re not s**d. If you go with me now, these passersby will be safe. My patience is limited. Three, two…”
I’ll go with you!” Ruby said.

Cole glanced at Ruby’s basket and kicked it over
The basket fell to the ground.
Gina jogged into the market and made her way to the front of the b**r store. There was no sign of Ruby at the door. She turned her head and saw Ruby’s basket of groceries sitting on a chair inside the b**r store.
Gina ran inside, thinking Ruby might have gone in to rest, but still, there was no sign of her.
She asked the store owner, “Hey, the person with this basket-did you see her? She was just standing in front of your store just now!”
attention. She seemed to have left, but her
“Yes,” the b**r replied. “There was a woman standing there earlier, but I was busy and didn’t pay basket spilled in front of the store. I picked it up and left it there, thinking she might come back for it. Why, is she a relative of yours?”
Gina no longer had the heart to listen to what the b** r was saying.
