“No. Ren has sent some people over to help us out. There’s a large truck stopped outside the house
right now. I think we’ll be done with just one trip since the villa is fully furnished. We’ll just need to bring
along our daily necessities.”
Ruka could deduce that Ren prepared a new house for her parents to protect them. If she married him,
her parents would also become part of his closest circle, and he needed to do this to prevent them from
being attacked by those with ulterior motives. At the Translation Department.
Victoria came out of the conference room looking as pale as a sheet. Her eyes were filled with hatred
and the unwillingness to concede. She never thought that Ren would act against her so mercilessly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe knew that she was powerless against Ren, but she believed that with Orson’s influence, he would
be able to ensure that Ren lost in the upcoming elections. She could not wait to see him disgraced.
Inara and Michelle walked past her with a stack of documents in their hands. In the past, they would
have greeted Victoria courteously in an attempt to curry favor with her, but right now, neither one of
them showed her any sign of respect.
“I heard that Ruka failed her assessment because Victoria used her powers to interfere. I used to look
up to her and wanted to become as accomplished as her, but it looks like I’ll need to take that back
now. I don’t want to be as shameless and deplorable as her!”
Victoria was furious to see that even the interns had the guts to mock her right to her face. She
glowered at them, while they stood there with smug expressions as they watched her leave.
“D*mn it!” Victoria was so mad that she felt a little woozy and had to lean against the wall to support
herself.
Three days later, it was Christmas Eve. Although Ren was reluctant to let Ruka leave, he did get to
spend a few days with her and he did not want her to miss out on spending time with her family during
the holiday season.
Ren led her to the car and personally opened the door for her. Once she had her seatbelt on, he bent

“Okay.” Ruka looked up at him a little wistfully too. She would have given him a hug if it had not been
for all the bodyguards around them. She sat safely in the car, while four other SUVS protected her from
the front and back. No expense was spared to keep her safe.
Ruka took in the sights of the crowded streets when a thought flashed across her mind. If she married
Ren and he continued to remain in his position, it meant that she would not have much of a chance to
stroll about on the streets.
Even so, her smile did not fade. He was worth it, even if she had to give up everything. So what if she
had to make some adjustments to her life and routine if it meant that she could be with him?
She was willing to do whatever it took to be with him, even if it meant giving up her life.
