Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 742

Blaine asked indifferently, “Who were you calling this morning?”

“Nobody in particular. Just… a friend.”

Blaine huffed coldly, “Friend? I can’t believe you have friends.”

Ruby disagreed, “What do you mean? I’m a righteous and loyal person. Why can’t I have friends?”

Blaine walked toward the desk and tapped lightly on the desk. He questioned, “So you weren’t contacting your ex-husband?”

Ruby was startled and thought to herself, ‘Ex-husband?’

She had yet to recall who her ex-husband was and Blaine continued with his eyes squinting at her, “You aren’t answering me. Does that mean you were contacting your ex-husband, huh? White Wolf has a family now and yet you still contacted him. Don’t you have any sense of shame?”

Ruby sprung from the couch and glared at Blaine with her face darkened. In a deep voice, she asked, “Leader Blaine, who do you think you are? Do you think you can criticize who I’m talking to? Besides, you did mention that White Wolf is my ex-husband. How is it shameful to contact my ex-husband?”

Damned Blaine, why would he say such unpleasant words all of a sudden? Ruby was so pissed that after she vented her anger at him, she turned around and stormed out of the room.

Blaine hit the desk with his fist.

Blaine grunted internally, ‘Ex-husband, ex-husband, this damned ex-husband.’

…

In a private room of a teahouse.

“Mr. Reed, there’s a woman called Ruby Luna by Master Blaine’s side. That woman seems to be a member of the Light Organization. Why would Master Blaine still keep her by his side?”

Paul creased his brows. “What did you say? Blaine is in contact with the members of the Light Organization?”

Cindy nodded and subsequently handed over a photo to Paul. “This is a photo of Ruby Luna. Do you know her?”

Paul lifted his gaze and scrutinized Cindy. He then smiled and asked explicitly, “Cindy, the purpose I assigned you to get near Blaine was to keep an eye on him on behalf of me. Are you infatuated with Blaine now?”

“Mr. Reed, I… I’m faithful to you.”

“Cindy, you should think about your mother who is being treated in the hospital.”

Her eyes flickered and her hands inadvertently clasped onto her skirt tightly.

Paul smiled and continued, “But I didn’t want you to do anything to Blaine either. Just report to me about Blaine’s whereabouts. Besides, if you were to help me, I can help you in chasing that woman away from Blaine too. If that Ruby were to leave, wouldn't Blaine become yours?”

Cindy was enticed and her emotions were stirred up due to Paul’s temptation. “Mr. Reed, is that true? Are you willing to chase Ruby away for me?”

“The Ruby you mentioned is a member of the Light Organization and Blaine is the leader of the Dark Organization. It would be impossible for them to be together as a couple and they would violate the law if they do so. Blaine will definitely have a hard time if the council knew about it. Do you think Blaine will give up on his position as the Dark Organization's leader for a woman?”

Cindy had made a decision and said, “Then… Mr. Reed, what do you need me to do?”
