Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 303 The Mad Ruby

Inside the Music Hall Luxury Lounge, Burl's eyes widened as he watched the unfolding drama at the award ceremony. He hadn't expected to stumble upon such explosive gossip during his trip. Burl said, "That's some juicy stuff. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to go this far."

As he saw on the surveillance video that Cosmo had taken Ruby to the restroom where Lela was, Burl raised an eyebrow and turned to Sylvester, who was beside him, teasingly saying, "Sylvester, they went to the restroom where Lela is. What if they run into each other and start fighting? Won't your heart ache for her?"

Sylvester looked at those two and felt them disgusting. After a disdainful sneer, Sylvester said, "They don't have a reason or the ability to beat Lela."

"What?" Burl was confused.

Or rather, Burl had no idea what Lela could do, so it was normal for him not to understand Sylvester.

Sylvester didn't want to explain. He stood up from the leather sofa and said, while looking down at Burl with an innate authority in his voice, "From now on, you should know how to handle things here and with Stellar Entertainment, okay? I'm leaving."

With that, he turned and left.

Burl was dumbfounded. As he came to his senses, he twitched his mouth and said, "So my role is to wrap up the aftermath of this situation. Sylvester, is this how you treat your brother?"

On the other side,

Cosmo pulled Ruby into the women's restroom, quickly closing and locking the door. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

The reporters outside rushed to the restroom door. Seeing it was closed and couldn't be opened, they banged on the door, saying, "Cosmo, Ruby, come out and talk. Hiding isn't a good solution." "Yeah! If you dared to do it, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Things you've done will definitely be found out."

"Ruby, how do you feel about discovering your background in this way? Do you have anything to say?"

Ruby stood there, clenching her hands tightly, her eyes filled with intense hatred.

Cosmo couldn't understand who would go to such lengths to target her and even dig up things so long ago.

Wasn't everything over?

Who could do that?

Cosmo was right. Unearthing something from over twenty years ago was a daunting task, especially in an era when information wasn't as readily accessible.

But for the top-tier The X Spirits, it was easy.

Moreover, there was a favorable point. The Coleman family had always lived in Central City. At that time, other areas might not have had widespread surveillance, but as the capital of Pliar Country, Central City certainly did. Additionally, The X Spirits had the world's most advanced electronic recovery equipment and an intelligence network that was formidable internationally. There was no challenge they couldn't overcome.

Cosmo was confused, filled with angry frustration.

She turned around to see Ruby looking at her with a face full of hatred.

Cosmo felt a pang of anxiety.

Before she could speak, Ruby cut her off. "Why? Why did you hide it?"

Under Ruby's intense gaze, Cosmo's face turned grave. "Ruby, I had my reasons. I'm sorry for keeping it from you and making you grow up without a mother."

Milton's wife had died early, and he never remarried. Instead, he always had a mistress outside who was obedient, didn't cost much, and was easy to control.

Cosmo thought Ruby was angry about her hiding things from Ruby, but Ruby's next words hit her hard as she said, "I don't care if you're around or not. I'm asking you, why didn't you tell Roy that I'm his daughter? If you had told him, I wouldn't have had a relationship with Harold. If you wanted to raise me in a good environment, why didn't you tell him? Why?"

Ruby had reached a breaking point, her emotions spiraling out of control.
