The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

"I gave birth to you. I am your mother. How could you do this to me?"

Shane came out of the kitchen hearing the shriek of his wife. He wanted to go over but looking at grim Lisa, he rushed back inside to take care of the work and win their favor.

Lisa had a question at the tip of his tongue, 'Did you realize that now?' However, he let Ruby Jane handle her battle.

Ruby Jane giggled hearing Maisie leaving the rest confused. "Mrs. Maisie, I am a jinx you are cursed with. When did you become my mother?"

Maisie: "...."

Alex shook his head in resignation, laughing silently. She was professional at throwing the words back and making them regret instantly.

Ruby Jane smiled looking at Maisie wordless. "About giving birth to an unfortunate child, Mrs. Kim, I am giving you the roof. Try me, you will lose it too."

Maisie regretted never checking the agreements when she was signing the papers with her husband. She had thought everything was going under Skylar. If she had read Ruby Jane's name, she would have got suspicious.

Ruby Jane was going towards the heap of clothes when she heard Maisie's stuttering voice. "J-Jose was excited to see you. He would be very sad if he knew you did all these." She tried to get pity.

Lisa couldn't believe Maisie was still thinking of Ruby Jane as naive. It wasn't her fault anyway. Ruby Jane loved her little brother too much when she was young.

Ruby Jane turned around and simply revealed, "I was the one who asked Grandpa to take him out of this hell. He will live like a prince in a big mansion." Ruby Jane was turning around but paused, "Oh yeah, Grandpa knows I am alive from the beginning."

Maisie's hands which were on the cheeks fell on the couch. Now she understood why Hayden started putting them so far away. They were torturing Jennie, Hayden was treating them better so that they don't trouble Ruby Jane. Since he didn't have to worry about Jennie anymore, he mercilessly kicked them away. She discerned Hayden was waiting for Jennie to exact her revenge else he would have handled them long back.

'Does that mean I will not get the company? My son, Jose, what will he do?' Her main concern is wealth.

Life turns on a dime.

She was thinking if Hayden was still strong and healthy, she should find a chance to trouble him or maybe induce some problems to his body. So that they could quickly get all the wealth. She was finding a chance to meet him. Now that Jennie was alive and Hayden knew about her well-being all these years, the dream which was at the reach of her hands was going far and far away.

Her attention shifted to Ruby Jane when Ruby Jane asked, "Do you have light, Alex?"

Alex fetched it quickly and handed it to her. He sensed Lisa's gaze and quickly clarified, "I don't smoke, President Manoban. I arranged one after Young Madam asked to prepare a can of petrol." How could he forget one of the main requirements to be working at a top-notch team was no smoking? Simply because Ruby Jane would be around them.

Maisie rushed to grab her clothes, "What are you doing?" Her all the clothes were present.

Alex held Maisie and pushed her away. Ruby Jane lit the lighter and tossed it on the clothes. It instantly caught the fire due to petrol. Alex had made sure to keep clothes untouchable to other items or carpets so the fire was on the floor.

Maisie struggled to run and save some clothes which were catching fire too quickly. She understood why her clothes were being burnt. She had burnt Ruby Jane's dress gifted by Lisa. So Ruby Jane was burning every cloth.
