Chapter 186: His hands aren’t clean
Lucius brought the car to a stop in front of the towering glass building that bore the name Anderson Organization in bold, metallic letters. "This is as far as we can go," he said firmly, his gaze flickering toward the building’s entrance.
Ruby stepped out of the car, her heels clicking on the pavement as she handed the keys to the waiting chauffeur, who had appeared promptly to take over.
Without sparing a glance back, she strode confidently toward the building’s grand entrance.

"I think we need to wait in the lobby. In the meantime, you can tell me what you’ve found out," she suggested.

"Only Ruby can answer your questions," Lucius asserted, taking her hand in his.
