The Traps of the Black Swan

51

Milo had tried his best to stop Lisa's grandfather; Jordan but failed and stood helplessly behind Elder Manoban. He was really happy for his president having Ruby Jane and looking at him being a normal man than what he used to be for years.

He didn't know the family situation but Elder Manoban's reaction told it all that he wasn't happy with what he saw and it was totally the wrong time for Elder Manoban to see them intimate.

Ruby Jane was now a woman who seduced a rich man to live in luxury. She was a woman who was living off his grandson and she wasn't suitable for the Manoban family. Elder Manoban didn't just make the judgment by hearing Naomi Fisher but the men he sent to gather the information returned with nothing.

Little did he know, his own grandsons, Lisa and Jisoo are protecting her information with Zain, Mino, and Ruby Jane. So According to Jordan, whatever Ruby Jane was enjoying, maybe cars or spending on what she wears or eat, everything was by Lisa.

Jordan had enough waiting for Lisa to meet him hence he had directly gone to the office without informing anybody and witnessed his aloof grandson being a prey of a frivolous woman.

Ruby Jane watched the tall, handsomely aged man in front of her. She had seen him the first time when she was in the hospital after comatose due to unstable heartbeats. She was sleepy due to medicines hence her half-opened dozy eyes just witnessed his face before falling asleep.

She was never close to Lisa in past years for him to take her to his family mansion but Jisoo had bugged her yet she had never gone so this is officially the first time she was seeing Elder Manoban for real. Nevertheless, they met at the disastrously improper time.

Was she guilty or ashamed? Nope, she wasn't doing anything wrong, apart from that she didn't get a good vibe from Elder Manoban who was glaring right into her eyes.

Instead, Lisa was really irritated. The unannounced meeting, barging in the meeting room despite being told by his secretary and an angry stare at Ruby Jane. He wanted to take Ruby Jane to the family mansion to introduce her formally but not in his office under such a situation.

Jordan was still his grandfather and elder so he greeted him with respect, "Grandfather."

Generally, Ruby Jane doesn't meet or greet new people unless she is playing in somebody's life however Jordan Manoban is Lisa's grandfather hence she ignored his gaze and greeted him with a modest bow of her head to show respect, "Elder Manoban."

But the response they got was Elder Manoban striding ahead, flung his hand at Ruby Jane. The latter wasn't Jennie to let him do what he was doing, she will never tolerate that behavior even if it's Lisa. She took a step back as her eyes darkened. She wasn't serene anymore, she was overbearing and oppressive.

Milo instinctively took steps inside while Lisa's face clouded stopping his grandfather's hand midway before it could even hover near Ruby Jane. He won't let anybody hurt her, not even his grandfather. He was ready to get an unfilial tag but he won't stop himself from protecting her.

Jordan felt insulted for being stopped by his own dear grandson. His gaze landed on Ruby Jane who didn't cower a little but straight eyed back his eyes. Her oppressing gaze was too intense to be neglected easily that brought a frown on his face.

Ruby Jane thought they were going to talk but Jordan's ego was hurt from Lisa's actions in front of her and Milo Wen hence he shrugged Lisa's hand and threw his anger on him. "How dare you?"

Ruby Jane furrowed her brows seeing him raise his hand again. As much as she heard about Jordan, he was a level-headed and reasonable man. He might have orthodox beliefs but he treasured his grandsons so she couldn't understand what was wrong with him other than doubting his current behavior might be provoked by somebody or he is offended by... her?!
