Chapter 9
He was lost in his daydreams.
If that baby had lived, that child would be walking by now.
I have such a soft heart. So if I have a child, I definitely will not want to leave him.
However, Bastien looked up angrily and spat coldly.
“Ruben, you monster! Don’t you know that Elise got hurt during the miscarriage and will never be able to have kids again?
“And you’re here bringing up painful memories. Do you really want to hurt her more to make yourself feel better?”
Ruben’s whole body shook. His eyes went wide and his voice shook as he said, “What did you say?”
I felt so heartbroken I could barely breathe. It turned out that the damage he had done to me could never be fixed.
I helped Bastien stand up, held his hand, and gave Ruben a final warning.
“Mr. Errard, this is our home and you’re not welcome here. Take your people and leave, and don’t come back!
“If you don’t, I really will die this time.”
After forcing Ruben and his bodyguards to leave, I slammed the door shut without mercy.

The door closed right in front of Ruben. The last thing he saw was Bastien and me standing together, supporting each other.
He felt so close to me but also so far away.
He turned around, feeling so heartbroken he could not breathe. Every step felt like it weighed a thousand kilograms.
However, even those harsh words could not stop Ruben.
The next day, I found out from my neighbor that the Errard Group had bought the entire building.
I was under Ruben’s watch again, which was really annoying.
That day, I was packing my things. I was planning to move again when Bastien got back.
Someone knocked on the door and I thought he was home, but when I opened it, I saw someone I did not expect.
It was my sister Veronica.
However, I barely recognized her.
Veronica, who used to be the rich and powerful heiress, now looked messy and wild. The proud look on her face was gone, replaced by a crazy look that made her seem like she wanted to hurt someone.
I heard that our father had already been destroyed by Ruben, and now he was living like a homeless person somewhere in Los Angeles.
She saw me and smiled in a creepy way.
“It really is you, Elise. You’re back again. You came back to be with Ruben and bother him again, didn’t you?”

Madwoman.
I did not want to deal with her and just wanted to get her out of my house as quickly as possible.
However, when I could close the door, I suddenly saw something shiny flash in front of me.
I did not have time to react before I heard the sound of something cutting into skin.
Ruben suddenly appeared and grabbed the knife with his bare hand. The blade sliced deep into his right hand.
He threw himself in front of me and took the deadly blow that Veronica meant for me.
However, looking at his bleeding wound, I felt nothing except exhaustion.
Was he really still trying to manipulate me with this kind of drama?
Seeing my complete lack of concern, Ruben felt like his heart was being stabbed over and over. It was far worse than the pain in his hand.
Every cold look from me was like another knife wound.
He seemed to go into shock, clutching his injured hand and wandering aimlessly down the street, leaving drops of blood behind him. Finally, he collapsed from blood loss.
