The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

264

Ruby Jane took care of the things that needed her attention. She notified the two members of the  Shadow team to be close to her and the rest to keep an eye from a distance. She heard no discontent in them, instead, they suggested using a few more members to be safe.

Anyway, Skylar guards were there to escort her in and out of the police station and she didn't think Seungri had plans to kidnap her unless and until he didn't want Lisa to burn him alive. Seungri was a man who plays safe to keep his wealth safe, he wouldn't risk his life.

She was thinking of informing the Manoban family... Scratch that, her family about her evening plan but her reflection on the glass window caught her attention.

The situation didn't want a sweet-looking girl who will be seen as weak to society, but a woman whose words should bring fear or shut them up and appear dependable for those in need. She decided to drop by Skyarc to change.

Turning to face the three, she was expecting at least one in three to stop her in fear of her safety, but they didn't. "Be careful Ruby Jane," Jordan suggested concerning Seungri planning dirtier against her and keep note of her safety

"GiggleMug, come home after work. Don't stay alone." Megan had a faint smile.

Connor nodded at her, "If you need help, call us anytime."

Ruby Jane smiled at them. She understood they don't have biased opinions on women. They believe in her and give the same support as given to Lisa or Jisoo. "Please have dinner and take a rest. No need to worry, I will be in touch with Jisoo."

Speak of the Devil.

Jisoo came out of the study in a foul mood. He clutched the couch and questioned with irritation towards Seungri, "Seungri is doing this. Isn't he?"

Ruby Jane half shrugged as they had no proof and it was their guess.

"I need to kick his ass. How dare he separate bro and Little Heart today?" Jisoo hadn't thought of Seungri when Lisa left the city. Now he was sure that Seungri was sending Lisa far to make Ruby Jane helpless.

But he wanted to snigger on Seungri's face. Ruby Jane wasn't helpless by being alone, instead, she would be more ruthless to dust off her hands quickly.

Since Jisoo was also feeling the same, Ruby Jane wanted to burn Seungri's veins giving in to the urge of going near Lisa but she can't use the flight to reach Lisa and it will take more than six hours by road.

She held Jisoo's shirt and pulled him out. She told her plan so that he could hide it from the family. However, Jisoo was worried, "If something happens to you, then I will be dead. Bro will skin me alive."

However, looking at her sulking, Jisoo gave in to her with lots of conditions and let her go.

At Harmon mansion,

Seungri watched the setting of the sun at the horizon and the sky filled with darkness.

Since Lisa wasn't there, he thought it was the perfect chance to put Ruby Jane in trouble as he knew she would definitely leave the Manoban mansion to address the problem.

Thinking of many options, a wicked glint flashed in his eyes. Moving away from the bay window, he grabbed his mobile and dialed Charlotte's number. He had expected her to be smart and she didn't disappoint him. As she was digging up about Ruby Jane's identity and money laundering case to prove her chief, Major Louis is wrong.

Such an ambitious woman was always easier for him to trick. [Hello?!]

"Ms. Parkinson, have you watched the news?" He paused. If her mood isn't alright, she might rile up so he toned his voice to sound helpless, "I know your team doesn't work on money laundering or drugs, but you still protect the country, don't you?"
