Ruby rested her hand on the window for a moment before slowly pushing it open.

The kitten was docile. It jumped in and curled up in the corner of the windowsill. It was curious but remained still, simply looking around.

Ruby closed the window and picked up the little creature. She turned to Sullivan and said, ” Sullivan, it’s getting late. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow. What do you want to eat then?

Instead of answering her, Sullivan stared at the cat nestled in her arms with a frown. “Are you planning to keep that cat?”

Ruby gently stroked the kitten’s head with one hand while cradling it in the other. The kitten seemed to sense her kindness and tilted its head up, enjoying the touch

Sullivan’s expression darkened.

Despite all his efforts to get Ruby to notice him his injuries sustained while helping her she remained distant. Yet here she was, so kind to a creature she had just met.

“Yes, I feel a connection with this kitten,” she replied.

Sullivan said, “What about me? Ruby, you must have noticed how I feel about you these days—”

Before he could finish, Ruby calmly interrupted, “Sullivan, we’re not suited for each other. You’ve saved my life twice and helped me immensely, and I’m grateful for that.

“If you need anything from me in the future, I’ll be happy to help. But feelings can’t be controlled. I can’t force myself to accept your feelings just because I’m thankful.”

A dark look passed over Sullivan’s eyes, and he almost knocked the soup off the table in frustration.

He stopped himself, turning away, his voice cold. “You can go now. You don’t have to come anymore. Helping you was my choice. It has nothing to do with you.”

she didn’t feel completely indifferent toward hiin.

However, compared to Sullivan, Nyla meant much more to her.

Ruby knew Nyla disliked Sullivan, so she wouldn’t give him any chance. Besides, Sullivan was approaching her with unknown intentions, and she didn’t feel too guilty for rejecting

him.

The next morning…

As Damon and Nyla drove to work, they received a video from Spencer.

After watching it, Damon scowled and squeezed his phone tightly as if he might crush it.

Nyla also watched the video, which showed the conflict between Mason and Wilhelm in the classroom the day before.

The videó confirmed Mason’s story–Wilhelm had fallen when he charged at Mason, and the latter hadn’t touched him at all.

Nyla recalled how polite Jane had been when she visited Damon the evening before. She also knew that the Wilkie Group collaborated with Prospectus Technology on various projects.

She bit her lip before asking, “What do you plan to do about this?”
