Chapter 1098 Victoria's eyes gradually beccold after Ruka entered the conference room. She could tell that Ruka was trying to distance herself from Ren. Is it Ren who taught her that? Victoria's heart clenched in pain. The more she inquired, the more information she gathered. Ren was obviously showing Ruka how to defend herself.
Returning to the conference room, Ruka sat at the very back to avoid drawing attention to herself.
But... How could she not gather looks and whispers? Inara had no intention of letting her go nor had the focus to read the entry materials, so she crossed her arms and sneered, “Hey, Ruka. Who did you rely on to get into this department? Why don’t you tell us?” “She doesn’t appear to be relying on her ability,” Mia responded sarcastically.
Ruka ignored them by concentrating on the entry documents. This time, Theodore added fire to the fuel, “Ruka, just say it! Say it to frighten them.” However, she only continued to ignore them while Michelle hummed, “She doesn’t want to tell us. You know, she probably didn't cin on the right track.” Offended by the words, Ruka looked up at Michelle and shot back. “Have shuman decency.” “You're getting agitated. What, was | correct?” Michelle sneered.
When Caspian noticed that everyone was picking on Ruka, he could not help but speak up for her, “Is everyone having fun playing the Mean Girls here? This is not high school, but the Translation Department. Can‘t we just try to get along?” Furious, Inara glared at Caspian before exclaiming, “Why do you care so much about her, Caspian? | suggest you mind your own business. Don't forget that your father works for my father, and if I'm in a bad mood, I'm not afraid to deliver a few words to my father... You should be aware of the consequences.” His fist on the table suddenly clenched tightly, clearly in rage.
Ruka raised her eyes at Caspian at this point and a worried expression flashed across her face. She shook her head slightly as he turned to face her, indicating that he did not have to defend her.
