    Ruby''s breath hitched, and she instinctively denied it. "I don''t know what you''re talking about!"


    "Ms. Jenner, I''ll be at the same café where we metst time, at 2:00 p.m. If you don''t show up, I''ll have no choice but to submit the evidence to the authorities," Paul said, then hung up without waiting for her response.


    Clutching her phone, Ruby froze in fear.


    If she went to meet Paul, she risked losing the money and facing legal action from Prospectus Technology.


    No... she couldn''t let that happen. She had to leave immediately.


    Steeling herself, she called Paul back. "Mr. Vernon, I''m not free at 2:00 p.m. Can we make it 4:00 p.m. instead?"


    "Sure," Paul replied without hesitation.


    After hanging up, Ruby quickly grabbed her suitcase and left. She gave her cat to a neighbor, not wanting anything to slow her down.


    She booked the earliest avable flight and headed straight for the airport.


    Damon and N were having lunch in his office when Spencer entered hurriedly.


    "Mr. Sumner, we''ve uncovered the trail. The embezzled funds were funneled into a separate ount. Using that ount, Sullivan purchased a property under Ruby''s name. She sold the property a few days ago for 1,800,000 dors," Spencer reported.


    At this, N''s cutlery slipped from her fingers, her expression filled with disbelief.


    So this was why Ruby had resigned? Did she not realize that taking that money was illegal?


    The more N thought about it, the more disheartened she became. Now Ruby''s recent behavior made sense.


    Damon''s voice was cold as he made a decision. "Report it to the authorities immediately."


    "Yes, sir," Spencer replied, then left.


    Once he was gone, Damon turned to N, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze. He sat beside her.


    "N, are you upset about me calling the police?" he asked.


    N had calmed down somewhat by then. She lowered her gaze and spoke softly. "Everyone has to be responsible for their actions. If she made this choice, she should be prepared to face the consequences."

    "I''m just worried this will hurt you," Damon said gently.


    After all, Ruby had once been her junior.


    N shook her head. "It won''t. I was already disappointed when she resigned. This just solidifies my feelings."


    Although her words were firm,


    Damon could see the tension in her


    tightly clenched hands resting on


    herp. She was clearly still

    "Alright, let''s not dwell on this anymore. You didn''t eat much earlier. Have some more," he urged.


    "Okay." N picked up her utensils again, though the food now tasted nd.


    She couldn''t figure out when Ruby had changed.


    Once, she had been a hardworking, sincere junior. Now, she wasplicit in Sullivan''s crime.


    Eventually, N decided to stop thinking about it.


    Regardless of Ruby''s reasons, she would have to face the consequences.


    Just as Ruby collected her boarding pass at the airport, two police officers intercepted her.


    One of them showed his badge and said sternly, "Ms. Jenner, you are suspected of being involved in


    Sullivan Heseltine''s embezzlement case. Pleasee with us

    Ruby froze in ce, the boarding pass slipping from her hands and falling to the floor.
