Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 617

Asher let out a sigh of relief, then turned to Ruby with an apologetic look. "Ruby, I'm so sorry. My dad has caused you more trouble."

Ruby shook her head and had someone help carry the man inside.

Not long after being placed on the sofa, Domingo slowly regained consciousness, opening his eyes to find six pairs of them staring down at him.

"When you ran, leaving your wife and child behind, did you ever think I might go back on my word?"

Ruby glanced at him coolly, taking a sip of tea.

Domingo looked awkward but adopted a respectful tone. "I trust you, Miss Ruby..."

"I would have."

Ruby's reply was flat and indifferent.

Domingo felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and he shifted uncomfortably.

"But since you didn't get away, you'll just have to accept your bad luck."

Ruby's lips curved into a faint smile, a slight arc that was strangely unsettling.

She clapped her hands and sat up straight. "Twenty years ago, the body you burned wasn't Violet's, was it?"

As she got to business, her calm, watery eyes turned sharp.

Domingo felt as though countless invisible needles were pointing at him from all directions.

He hesitated, not answering immediately, as if weighing his options.

Ruby stared at him coldly.

"It wasn't."

Finally, he gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and admitted defeat.

"Afterward, Hanley gave you a large sum of money to quit your job. you returned to Stormhaven and lived a normal, peaceful life for a long time, until Hanley found you again recently and asked you to provide false testimony."

Ruby's voice was like a wisp of smoke, drifting in and out.

Domingo closed his eyes. "Since you already know everything, why did you bring me here?"

"You were held captive in that factory for so long. Don't you want revenge?"

Ruby smiled, her cool voice holding a strangely persuasive quality.
