After the meeting ended.
Benjamin Murray was in a daze and stayed in the meeting room with Ruby Mercer.
"Ruby, you..."
"Shh! Don't make noise, listen to me. First, I love acting, but now I want to spend more time with my child. I can't really manage such a big company, you know that. Just having a clothing studio is enough."
"Second, realistically, you are indeed Hardy Mercer's child. Mercer Group should belong to you and not me, even though the funds came from my mom. In the future, you just need to take care of me. Right?"
"Third, you will always be my brother."
Benjamin Murray wasn't someone who was sentimental. He smiled, nodded, and didn't say anything else. Because Ruby had already said what needed to be said.
...
Christopher Moore had been back in the country for a week. He had already let the child reveal what needed to be revealed to Ruby Mercer, but he sat by the bedside waiting every day. No matter how much he waited, he couldn't see the woman he loved.
