Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: It seems she has changed her ways for good

Once the call was answered, Max immediately spoke up. ’’Uncle, I know who harmed Ruby... In fact, I am the cause of Ruby’s abrupt disappearance..."

...

In front of an ancestral mansion in Vermilion City, a sleek car came to a halt.

"Young Miss... Young Miss, you are back...!"

Once Ruby stepped out of the car, she was surrounded by all sides.

"Go, quickly inform the Master and Madam...’’

As some of them rushed inside, two of the maids accompanied Ruby and led her into the mansion, ’’Where is my mother?"

"The madam lost consciousness when she heard about your disappearance...’’ When she saw Ruby’s expressions sinking, she immediately added, "But she is better now, she would be happy to see you.’’

The moment they stepped inside the huge living room, the maids suddenly stopped chattering away excitedly.

The silence made Ruby raise her head. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

And she saw a poised man in his late 40s descending the stairs. His face was frigid and one could not see his thoughts through his face.

He stopped in front of Ruby and the maids immediately retreated.

Suddenly, the man raised his hand.

Ruby flinched, instinctively retreating a few steps back.

But in the next moment, the man’s hand landed on her shoulder, patting it twice.

Ruby looked up at him, stunned.

’’It’s good that you are back, safe and sound,’’ Mr. Ambrose remarked calmly, ’’Go, see your mother. She has been worried.’’

As the man turned to leave, Ruby looked at his retreating back.

Suddenly, he halted in his tracks and looked at her from above his shoulder, ’’Regarding this matter, you don’t need to worry. It wasn’t your fault.’’

Those words sounded amiss, ’’What do you mean, dad?"

"Are you still acting clueless? Max called me and told me everything. It’s that discarded daughter of the Yu Family stirring trouble again.’’

Ruby turned alert instantly, ’’Ella has nothing to do...’’

’’You are just like your mother, trying to save others all the time no matter what they do to you. That’s a blessing and curse of a trait that the both of you have,’’ the man remarked, his face aloof.

’’You don’t have to worry. I won’t dirty my hands this time. Max told me that you were kidnapped because of his past personal affairs with that girl. And he apologized profusely. Since he is my future son-in-law, I would naturally not hold it against him.’’

Ruby looked at the man’s back, her gaze turning cold.

’’That girl is all bark and no bite. After being blacklisted in the entertainment industry, she is just throwing about her limbs as a last attempt to survive. Two bodyguards will accompany you from now on to ensure your safety.’’

When Ruby heard the last part, she opened her mouth, ’’I don’t need...’’

The man’s sharp gaze cut to her, silencing her, ’’Go visit your mother. And later, make sure to thank Maxwell for his care and concern. From now on, focus on him and your marriage more. This marriage is beneficial for both the families, especially our family so you must make it work."

After the man left, the maids exchanged glances and approached Ruby.

"Young Miss... let us take you upstairs...’’

Ruby raised her hand, ’’No need. Prepare for dinner. I will visit my mother.’’

Ruby went upstairs and stood in front of the Master bedroom for a while before knocking twice.

After a while, there was no response from inside.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside and her gaze landed on the beautiful woman sleeping on the bed. The woman had striking red hair, just like Ruby.

’Ella, did you do it on purpose?’
