Burn Me Once, Burn With Me novel Chapter 592

Ruby's fingers paused. She turned her head and saw Fanny's concerned expression.

She couldn't help but bite her lip.

Hayley also held her breath, the smile vanishing from her face, replaced by a serious look.

Fanny reached out, took her hand, and patted it gently. "Even though we have troubled Victor, it might sound selfish, but this was a mutual agreement. If you feel bad about it, you'd just be falling into Romaine's trap, wouldn't you?"

Ruby let out a slow sigh. "I'm fine."

Despite her words, her gaze remained distant, frequently drifting to the world outside the window.

"Back when I was a lawyer at Veyne & Co., Victor and I were close. When I was imprisoned, he broke ties with Cassian and went abroad. After all he's done for me, I'll always feel indebted to him."

At the time, Veyne & Co. was already a major corporation in all of Country Veytura. As a manager in the tech department, he had a bright future ahead of him, yet he gave it all up for her and went abroad to start over.

Fortunately, a diamond shines even in a foreign land.

"Once this is all over, let's throw him a proper farewell dinner."

Fanny squeezed her hand comfortingly.

Ruby nodded.

As the three of them drove away, they didn't notice a pair of eyes still fixed on their departing car.

Romaine's gaze was venomous, her jealousy now fully transformed into hatred.

She stood in the cold wind for a long time, until her body grew stiff. Then, she slowly made her way back to Victor's office.

As she expected, it was the same scene she saw every night.

The light by the window was still on.

She stood quietly by the window, daring only to peek inside with one eye.

Victor was still hunched over his desk, his expression focused, a map spread out before him.

Romaine recognized it at once—it was the area map Fanny had given him.

It seemed to be a factory on the outskirts of Quinborough.

They actually expected Victor to sneak into a factory to find someone for them.

How could they?

Victor was a top-tier tech researcher. She never even let him handle the most menial tasks.

And yet he had gladly accepted their unreasonable requests.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her arms trembling slightly.

*Knock, knock—*

This time, she knocked on the door.

"Come in."
