Chapter 1369
Chapter 1369 Shermaine was dumbstruck by the unannounced visit.” Why are you here?”
Ruth answered in an unserious voice, “Because | missed you and figured I'd come to see you.”
Shermaine grimaced and needed several seconds to collect her thoughts. “Wait for me at the airport, I'm coming right away.”With that, she hung up.
She was already done with her work for the day.
She swiftly grabbed her purse and trotted out.
Acolleague who was assigned near her desk swept a glance at her quickly departing figure and proceeded to pick up the phoneto contact Cliff.
Half an hour later, Westchester International Airport.Shermaine got out of the car and walked as fast as she could to one of the arrival gates.
It did not take long before she identified a woman who stood out from the rest of the crowd. This was a middle aged woman in ahat and sunglasses. Though plainly dressed, she exuded a fine air of elegance.
She waved and greeted her with a pleasant smile, “Aunt: Ruth!”
Ruth looked at her and responded with a quick smile. She dragged the luggage behind her as she gracefully advanced towardShermaine.
Shermaine stood still, making sure to maintain a warm and polite smile to welcome her benefactor.
Ruth was only several steps away from Shermaine when she suddenly screeched to a halt. The faint smile hanging on thecorner of her lips quickly faded. Even with sunglasses masking her eyes, Shermaine could notice her quickly stiffeningexpression.
Shermaine asked in a worried tone, “Aunt Ruth, is everything okay?”
Ruth stood frozen.
Shermaine was beginning to worry when she heard a familiar voice from behind her. “Madam, it's been a while.”Shermaine spun around and was shocked to see Cliff only a couple of meters away from her.
Cliff was siniling slyly at Ruth.
Behind him stood a row of five bodyguards, all wearing identical black suits.
There was a black car seen parked in the distance.
The doors and windows were closed tightly but Shermaine could sense a hostile presence barricaded inside.She turned pale. “Assistant Cliff, you... Why are you here?
Cliff looked at her with a smile. “Miss Shermaine , thank you for leading her to us.”
Shermaine trembled involuntarily. “You... How did you know?”
She rapidly turned to Ruth and explained frantically,” Aunt Ruth, I've never said a word about my connection with you the entiretime | was with them. | have no idea how they found out!”
Ruth took a deep breath and took off her glasses.
The aged wrinkles around her eyes did not reduce the sharpness in her looks whatsoever. She calmly asked Cliff, “Is Odell heretoo?”
Cliff stated, “Master Carter is in the car.”ILIRuth scoffed. “I sure am honored to have him pick me up in person.”
Cliff smiled. “Master Carter is here to pick you up to meet the second master with him.”
Ruth‘s expression immediately stiffened. She seemed to cringe inwardly at this revelation.12
“Master Carter has already informed the second master about your return. The second master has also expressed his desire tomeet you.” After a pause, Cliff continued,” This is the last gesture of goodwill that Master Carter is willing to extend to you so thatyou could see your son for one last time before what happens next. It's your choice whether you want to go or not.”
Ruth scowled at Cliff before approaching him.
As she passed by Shermaine, Shermaine was still agitatedly trying to explain herself, “Aunt Ruth, | didn‘t say a word. | don'tknow why they're here!”
Ruth ruthlessly shoved her away and cast her an iron glare. “I've wasted my effort training an imbecile likeyou!”
She walked away.
Shortly after that, she stepped into another sedan parked behind the car coated in black.
Shermaine nearly tripped over when she was shoved away. She regained her balance and looked on with a baffled look in hereyes.
Cliff glanced at her with stark indifference. “Move to another city and replace a job there. Effective from today, you're no longer anemployee of Carter Corporation.”
