Ruby broke down in tears. "Paul... Brother... I'm sorry... | should have talked to you about this first..." "Don't callyour brother! You've really lost your mind this time! How did Father end up with a traitor for a daughter?!" Paul said contemptuously.
It was the first tPaul had raised his voice against her. All her strength fled her legs, and she fell.

Ruby, don't you know that he will instantly return to Aryadelle? Are you really that stupid, or are you just avoiding reality? If only Father hadn't stopped him, he would have been long gone! Do you really think that he is going to stay with you now that Father is dead? He doesn't love you! Wake up!" Ruby looked at him dazedly. "He won't go. | am pregnant with his baby..." Shortly after, Edward sent Elliot to the hospital.
When Edward saw Ruby kneeling before Paul and the dark expression on Paul's face, he deposited Elliot and left.
When Ruby saw Elliot, she sobbed, "Elliot, my dad is dead. | killed him." Elliot strode toward her and pulled her up from the ground.
Once Ruby steadied herself, Paul immediately kicked Elliot.
"You manipulated Ruby into killing my father! What kind of a man are you?!" Paul leaped at Elliot like a wild beast that was desperate to tear him apart.
The nanny immediately dashed into the room and grabbed Ruby, attempting to pull her out.
Ruby wailed as she tried to pull Paul away." Paul, stop! It’s my doing! It has nothing to do with Elliot!" The nanny dragged her away.
"Miss! You have done something horrible! You didn't even tellanything, and to think, | almost fed Paul the soup... Miss, how could you be so foolish? Who is going to protect you now that your dad is gone?! Do you think others will protect you? You are too naive! Apart from your dad, there is no one else in this world, not even Paul, who would care for you from the bottom of their heart!" "I don't regret it..." Ruby said while sobbing. "My dad looked down on me, =e' "Elliot! Elliot! All you talk about is Elliot! And all he can think of is Avery Tate! Miss, how can you be so clueless?" "I'm pregnant with his baby. Surely, he won't abandonand the child." Ruby's eyes were red with tears. "If he tries to leave, I'll tell him that I'm carrying his child!" she panted.

Ruby shook her head. She had not thought of that. Everything had happened too quickly for her, and her mind was in too much of a mess for her to consider the consequences.
"Miss, your dad is gone now, and most of his wealth will be yours. You need to think hard on how you can keep it all together without losing it to other people," said the nanny. "When | say others, it includes your Uncle Edward, Uncle Nick, Uncle Ted, and Elliot... Of course, that includes Paul as well. But amongst these people, Paul is probably the one who cares for you most." Ruby shook her head. "All Paul wants is my wealth. That's the kind of man | need to look out for. Elliot has made it clear that he does not like me, so what is the worse that he'll do?" The nanny did not respond as she did not know how to.
Ruby was no longer a child; she had her own thoughts. She would not have murdered her father with her own hands if she were not capable of independent thought.
“Elliot!” Ruby suddenly screamed, before running toward the room.
Elliot lay in the room, in a puddle of his own blood. Paul stood over him, punching him.
