Chapter 624 - 623: Accident
Ariel Higgins developed a liking for gambling, and after the Spring Festival, she went to Macau. It was said that she played big, with each win or loss being over a hundred million.
In fact, Ariel began gambling last year, but no matter who advised her, she wouldn’t listen, and Ruth Wilcox and the others didn’t dare to tell Yusuf Zuck.
When Ruth returned to the Wengquan Villa from Ember Vance’s place, only she was at the villa. Miles O’Brien and Paisley Kirk had stayed in their hometown and didn’t come back, Mia had returned to Hong Kong, Ariel was off gambling again, so the vast villa was left with only Ruth!
Of course, there were many Blood Races and servants nearby.
Ruth was not in the hot spring pool, but alone in the kitchen preparing a late-night snack for Yusuf.
"You’re back? How’s Ember Vance now?" Ruth had steamed some egg custard and a drawer of meat buns. She had made all of these herself!
"She’s pretty good." Yusuf smiled. Actually, what pleased him most now was that Ruth seemed to have come around, was able to laugh and chat with Miles O’Brien and the others, and seemed to have quite a good relationship with them.
Of course, she had always kept Yusuf from crossing the final barrier. Although they had kissed and touched where they should, she just wouldn’t allow Yusuf to break the final layer of paper between them, which was also her bottom line.
"What about that crazy woman Ariel? Why is she not here?" Yusuf sat down and started eating since he really hadn’t had dinner. The Vance family did not welcome him.
"She... went to Macau," Ruth said after a moment of thought.
