Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse

Book11 Chapter3.

The next day at noon, I was woken up by the sound of someone pounding on the door.

I hadn't slept well all night because of Jayden's affair. Now, being disturbed again, I angrily opened the door.

There stood the mistress, Ruby Collins, swaying her slender waist as she strutted into my home, looking around boldly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was the owner here.

I blocked her way and asked, "What are you doing in my house?"

Ruby didn't respond. She just stood there in her high heels, her body wrapped in

a tight, elegant ipao, flaunting her figure as she raised her chin at me.

In contrast, I had bed hair and wore wrinkled pajamas. I was in slippers, looking like a sleep-deprived, abandoned wife.

Seeing Ruby's arrogant demeanor made my anger flare even more.

I grabbed her shoulders and shoved her out.

Ruby staggered and lost her balance, stumbling backward into the wall.

She quickly regained her composure, arching her back and chest, brushing her toes against my leg. She ran her fingers through her wavy hair, letting it graze my face as she seductively said, "I heard you reported the noise from my place last night. Is it because your husband isn't home? Are you jealous hearing others having a good time?"

I remembered that yesterday, to avoid revealing my identity, I sent her a recording

I made at home using my manager account.

It must have caused a misunderstanding.

I didn't bother to explain. I just told her to leave.

"I report what I want. What's it to you? Why are you trying to make yourself relevant?"

"You're being too harsh. I heard that even though you're married, you're living like a widow, alone every day. I was worried you wouldn't get a hot meal, so I brought you some barbecue ribs my boyfriend made."

I looked down and saw that Ruby was holding a bowl of steaming barbecue ribs. The familiar aroma wafted to my nose, bringing back memories.

When we had no money, Jayden and I couldn't even afford meat or eggs, let alone ribs. Sometimes, we couldn't even afford rice.

Later, he found a tough job on a construction site, working 12-hour days for just two hundred dollars.

After the project ended, he slipped two thousand dollars under my pillow and made me a pot of ribs.

From then on, what others saw as ordinary ribs became our secret symbol for celebrating good things.

Now, seeing Jayden's cooking in another woman's hands, being used to flaunt and humiliate me, my heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Just then, Dad's assistant arrived with my custom lunch.

Ruby glanced at it dismissively, then pinched her nose in an exaggerated manner, saying, "Why do you eat suck unhealthy takeout every day? No wonder..."

She didn't finish her sentence. She looked me up and down, as if saying, "No wonder your figure is so bad..."

Before I could say anything, Dad's assistant spoke up for me:

"Who are you to talk like that? If you don't know better, just keep quiet.noveldrama

Takeout? This is a Michelin-starred meal specially ordered for Ms.

Carter. Most people can't even buy this with money."

Ruby thought the assistant was bluffing. She couldn't hide her sneer.

"Michelin chef? Looks like cheap pre-made food from Amazon to me. A CEO's daughter renting an apartment? Who are you kidding?"

The assistant looked at Ruby, hesitating to speak.

Ruby continued boasting about how delicious and healthy Jayden's barbecue ribs were, her smug face practically shouting, "I have a man who loves me, and it's your O husband."

Is there now a mistress who can flaunt herself in front of the wife?

I snatched the barbecue ribs from her and poured them over her head, drenching her from head to toe. The thick sauce ruined her makeup and stained her elegant qipao.

Ruby wiped at her clumped hair and ran downstairs, crying.

She threw out a parting threat, "Just you wait!"

I guess she, a mere mistress, couldn't handle me, so she ran back to Jayden to

complain.
