The Traps of the Black Swan

Seeing the door open without a knock, Ruby Jane was confused if Lisa canceled his business trip and returned. A second was enough to make her excited but her curled lips twitched uncontrollably looking at Mother Fisher stomping towards her.

Ruby Jane's face smoothly turned serene without revealing any emotions of displeasure. She couldn't believe Naomi sent her mother because of telling her to resign.

Before the door could close, Alex and the other two rushed in like a lightning and blocked the middle-aged woman before she could cross the desk to reach Ruby Jane.

Alex's voice was unemotional which Ruby Jane could feel he was controlling himself from being harsh, "Mrs. Fisher, be civil else we will have to take action."

Mrs. Fisher failed to push him away and saw Ruby Jane still sitting calmly like an empress watching an unimpressive play. "You wretched girl, what do you think of yourself? Don't take yourself as high and mighty just because you have Lisa backing you."

Ruby Jane didn't react. If things have to be carried out formally, the hospital and Ruby Brown should file a complaint and send Naomi to prison. She can also sue Naomi for instigating an artist to seize her psychological trauma.

Yet she let Naomi off easily to respect Elder Manoban's decision. If the Fisher family has to behave, they should request her and Lisa to let Naomi work in the hospital but she was being blamed.

"Even a rat is cute for the person who gave birth." She thought aloud which pissed off the woman more.

Alex had to bear the woman's claws on his jacket that was trying hard to pierce inside as she tried to push him like a madwoman, "You wench, you are the one who is a rat, you are lowly than a rat who doesn't have any family."

Instead of getting offended, Ruby Jane leaned her head on her knuckles by supporting her elbow on the desk. "No family?" She muttered looking at the struggling woman, then she nodded in agreement, "Right, I am not a rat. I am a Phoenix who rose from the ashes. So I don't have parents." She simply stated like reading a report.

Bemused, Alex and the other two Shadow team members turned to her having no words for her. They wanted to applaud her in appreciation for leaving Mrs. Fisher speechless.

Mrs. Fisher opened and closed her mouth repeatedly like goldish in the water but no words came out looking at Ruby Jane who didn't look like she was joking.

For a moment, she felt like it might be true looking at her unforgettable smile and her dazzling eyes. Her skin looked so flawless and radiant that a rough touch could stain her beauty.

Anyhow, she snapped back soon remembering her daughter sitting like a log in the investigation room. "What nonsense are you speaking? Have you lost your mind?" She asked irritatingly.

Her hand moved and she pointed to the door as she ordered Ruby Jane, "You better go and take the complaint back."

'Complaint?' Ruby Jane was initially perplexed before it struck her that Lisa had his plans. Taking Lisa's personality, Ruby Jane didn't find it surprising.

She wanted to ask about the details but the door flung open and Karsen sighed seeing Alex and others stopping unbalanced Mother Fisher from harming Ruby Jane.

"Uncle Karsen." Ruby Jane greeted as she stood up.

Mrs. Fisher crazily yelled at Karsen, "Brother Karsen, see, this is what you get from having an uncultured woman in the house."

Karsen ignored her and reached Ruby Jane, his eyes checked her top to toe and breathed another sigh of relief seeing her completely fine before standing in front of her.
