Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: As Cheap as I Am, I Can't Beat You!

Leopold King nodded seriously, "Hmm!"

"Kenneth Morgan told me himself! He even shamelessly gave me a lousy idea, saying there's no woman who can't be slept with!"

"If once doesn't work, then twice. If twice doesn't work, then three times. If three times don't work, spend a whole night. There'll be success eventually!"

Christopher Moore's lips twitched, "Really?"

"He truly is an animal!"

"Only animals disregard feelings like this!"

Just once, and Ruby Mercer passed out from the pain. He didn't dare continue after that, and as for a whole night…

He didn't even dare to think about it!

Leopold King scratched the back of his head in distress, "Kenneth also has a classic saying."

"What?"

"Feelings and love are made!"

Christopher, "Next time tell him to be a decent person!"

"Always doing animalistic things in a human guise!"

The two arrived at the underground parking lot, and Leopold King respectfully opened the car door for Christopher Moore, "I feel like taking this roundabout way might bring about a lot of variables!"

"Moreover, just now outside the door, it seemed Alvin Hargreaves isn't completely devoid of feelings for Miss Mercer! At least, he gets jealous when you look at Miss Mercer!"

"If he doesn't agree to the divorce then..."

The car was silent inside.

The man in the back seat closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, the man's eyes gleamed darkly as he said, "He must divorce her!"

When it comes to the divorce, Christopher Moore has the final say!

Ruby Mercer was in turmoil!

The places touched by Christopher Moore kept burning.

Did that man recognize her or not?

Were his actions towards her just now intentional or not?

Just as she was preparing to leave like an ostrich, Alvin Hargreaves called.

In the past, if Alvin initiated a call, even if it was only about "divorce," she'd feel comforted for the whole day.

But now, she only felt pressure and agitation.

Her tone was unfriendly, "What is it?"

Alvin wasn't friendly either, "Where are you? Come up!"

"I have something to do, going back first!" After encountering Christopher Moore, her mind was full of thoughts about her infidelity during marriage!

Alvin always knew how to hit where it hurt, "Do you still want the divorce agreement?"

Ruby reluctantly gave in.

"Fine!"

She stood at the hospital room door for a while, taking several deep breaths before pushing the door open.

Alvin squinted his eyes at Ruby!

He scrutinized the woman at the door carefully again, as if he didn't find her as annoying as before!

Ruby was very beautiful, with a traditional charm and elegance that made one involuntarily calm looking at her.

Meeting the man's gaze, Ruby went straight to the point.

"Where is it?"

Alvin's face darkened instantly, "Ruby, have you met Christopher Moore before?"

Ruby's heart panicked, going straight to her point, "If the divorce agreement isn't ready, I'll come another time!"

Saying this, she was about to leave!

Alvin, seeing her avoiding the issue, was so angry that he propped himself up to get out of bed.

"Ruby, stand right there!"

"The day you followed me to the Supremacy Club, did you see Christopher Moore there?"

Ruby nervously swallowed!

She wasn't good at lying, unable to tell a lie just like that!

Moreover, any fool could see something was off between her and Christopher!

Then she was caught with bruises all over, and she wasn't sure if she had fooled him with that incident!

Her mind was so jumbled it was about to explode!

Seeing her silence, Alvin grew even angrier.

"Ruby, I'm asking you a question!"

Ruby clenched her fists, "I've seen him!"

Alvin tensed instantly, his eyes tightened, "When?!"

Ruby tried to stay clear and organized, "The day before yesterday, when you were toying with your Anastasia and toasting him, I saw him once!"

Alvin stared intently at her face as if verifying the truth of her words.

"Ruby, you better not lie to me!"

"Did you specifically follow me to the Supremacy?"

Ruby sneered, "Don't flatter yourself!"

"I went to Supremacy just to have fun!"

She unafraidly admitted to her deeds that night, "I had drinks with four guys, chatted, and drank."

Alvin pointed at her nose and cursed, "Ruby, you slut!"

"I knew you couldn't be trusted!"

Furious, his face flushed red and neck thick.

Ruby let out a sarcastic laugh, "No matter how slutty I am, I'm not worse than you!"

"One last time, is the divorce agreement signed or not?"

Alvin gritted his teeth, "No!"

"You hurt me like this and still want a quick and easy divorce? Dream on!"

Ruby sneered, "I knew men like you never mean what they say!"

"No! Calling you a dog is an insult to dogs!"

"Alvin Hargreaves, since we can't come to an agreement, let's settle this legally!"

With that, she headed towards the door.

Alvin saw her determination, his face darkening, he called out to her, "Ruby, you'd better not let me discover you have anything shady going on with another man!"

"Otherwise, you and the Mercer Family are dead!"

At this moment, having reached outside the door, Ruby trembled all over.

"Whatever!"

Ruby's eyes met Alvin with menace, "I'll fight to the end if needed!"

After speaking, she slammed the door shut and left!

Only her complexion didn't match her bravado at all.

What should she do?

Should she lay things bare with Christopher Moore?

Should she ask him for cover?

But what if Christopher doesn't even remember her?

Ruby wished she could slap herself several times, why did she foolishly go to Supremacy for fun…

After Ruby left, Alvin made a call.

"Find out if my wife went to the Supremacy Club two days ago, what she did there, who she met, when she left? Investigate thoroughly!"

After hanging up, Alvin's face was gloomy as he tossed the phone aside.

"Ruby, you better not let me discover anything improper with you!"

Three minutes later, his phone rang.

"Speak!"

Listening to the report from the other side, Alvin's expression gradually softened.

"So, you mean, she wasn't following me?"

"Yes, Madam didn't really talk to those four guys before she nervously ran away. It was on her way to the restroom that she accidentally discovered your room and saw you!"

Alvin, "And after that? When did she leave?"

"We can't find out, the club was shut down afterwards!"

"Who owns Supremacy Club?"

"The legal owner is Henry Kerr!"

"Got it!"

After ending the call, Alvin's heart was still uneasy, knowing that Henry Kerr wasn't the real owner of Supremacy Club.

However, at least this call confirmed that Ruby's words were true!

She met with some men, chatted, and did nothing else being timid!

If she couldn't even chat with strangers, what could he expect her to dare to do?

Relieved by this information, Alvin chuckled, his mood slightly eased.

He then made another call to Ruby.
