Chapter 775 Don’t Touch!

It was at Fame City in M Country. Ruby was trapped in the mansion for one whole day. She finally remembered who Yaakov was. The maid brought her the porridge and asked her to have some, “Ms. Rubes, you haven’t eaten anything the whole day. You should eat something .Otherwise, the Young Master will blame us.” Ruby took the porridge and gulped it down. She wiped the corner of her mouth with her hands. “Where is your Young Master? I want to see him.” “He’s not back yet.” A black Bentley minivan entered the yard as they were talking. It was starting to drizzle outside. The driver got out from the car, opened a black umbrella, and pulled open the rear door. Yaakov got out of the car and walked into the mansion with his long legs while holding the umbrella. He saw Ruby standing by the door as soon as arrived at the house. It seemed like she was waiting for him. His heart stirred subconsciously. “Are you waiting for me?” Ruby looked at him and said, “I remembered you. You’re Anderson, right?” Anderson was the name given to Yaakov by the director of the welfare institute when he was young. It meant safety, success, and luck. Yaakov closed the umbrella and stood in front of the door. He stared at her face for a long time. He felt butterflies in his stomach when he heard her calling him ‘Anderson’. Yaakov handed the umbrella to his maid. He walked past Ruby and faced her with his back. Taking a deep breath, he looked calm and indifferent. “You finally remembered me.” Ruby pursed her lips and said, “Thank you for saving me.” She only had that to say even after knowing his identity? Yaakov went upstairs immediately. Ruby followed after him. Ruby said as they arrived at the study room, “Yaakov, did you save me just to lock me up in this place?” Yaakov lowered his head and started going through his files. He spoke calmly, “My goal is not to lock you up.” “What do you want me to do so that you’ll let me go?” “Are you that desperate to go back to find Blaine Glaceau?” Yaakov’s face turned cold and he raised his voice in anger. Ruby was slightly stunned. She let out a faint laugh and said, “It seems like you did a thorough background check on me.” Yaakov stood up and walked up to her. He grabbed her wrist and spoke in a solemn tone, “Since you remember me, why don’t you have anything to tell me? I thought you would have a lot to tell me after we reunite.” Ruby laughed lightly, “It’s been over 10 years. It’s all in the past. What’s there to say? I really appreciate you saving me and I’m happy to be reunited with you but you don’t have to treat me as someone really important. We’re just passers-by in each other’s life journey.” Yaakov frowned. He got slightly angry because of her indifferent and calm tone. “Are you still angry because I didn’t bring you along with me back then? My grandfather did not agree at that time. I…” Ruby cut him off before he could even finish his sentence. “I don’t blame you. You were too young back then. I simply lost a childhood friend after your family found you. I was sad but never once did I blame you. Moreover, I was adopted not long after you left.” “Does that mean I’m just a childhood friend to you?” Ruby was stunned. She looked at Yaakov’s deep gaze and said, “Don’t tell me you’ve been looking for me all these years.” They were young and immature yet he took it seriously. “I want you no matter who took your heart away.” “But I don’t want you… I have a boyfriend.” Yaakov laughed instead of raging. “A married couple can divorce nowadays. You can break up with your boyfriend anytime.” Ruby was speechless. Ruby did not know how to answer him. Thus, she asked, “When are you letting me go?” Yaakov stared at her seriously and squinted his eyes. “Until you fall in love with me.” Ruby remained silent. She gritted her teeth and asked, “Yaakov, do you think you’re filming a drama?” Yaakov hugged her neck from behind and came closer to her. “Rubes, I’ve been waiting and looking for you for such a long time. Do you think I’ll give up on you so easily?” “But it’s too late now. I have someone I love.” “It doesn’t matter. The important thing now is you and I have to get along.” Ruby was speechless. What a pervert! His mind must be twisted! Ruby pushed him away and said, “Yaakov, listen carefully. No matter how long you lock me up in this place, I won’t fall in love with you.” “Let’s see who will give in first then.” “Try me then. Send someone to check up on me the whole day. Otherwise, I will escape once I get the chance.” … It was night time at Glacier City. Blaine was sitting in his study room with one hand on his forehead. He looked exhausted. Old K found something and quickly came in to report it to him, “Master Blaine.” Blaine’s eyes trembled slightly. He lifted his head and asked, “You found something on Softie?” Old K gulped and said, “I found out where the car was going that day. It was heading toward Well’s Cliff so I sent someone there and they found a bullet there.” Old K handed the bullet to Blaine. There was a small mark on the bullet. It looked very familiar. Old K said, “This mark represents the Drake Family from M Country. However, how is Ms. Softie related to the Drake Family?” “Let’s not worry about this first. Old K, send some men to M Country and track down Softie’s whereabouts secretly.” “Yes.” Blaine let out a sigh of relief. At least it seemed like Softie was still alive for now. Everything would be fine as long as she was still alive. Old K said, “By the way, Master Blaine, I found this in the car that was written-off. I think this might be a present for you.” Old K handed the plastic bag to Blaine. Blaine opened the gift box and inside it was a new dark blue striped necktie. A smile crept across Blaine’s face. Did Softie choose this present for him? However, she did not get the chance to give it to him herself. His frown deepened as the thought that she might be in danger hit him. “Have you found anybody suspicious?” “One of them is dead and the body was dumped into the sea. We’re tracking down another guy but he escaped overseas so we need some time.” “You must catch the guy.” Old K nodded and said, “Of course.” … Ruby was trapped in the Drake Family’s mansion for three days. She tried every way she could to escape. She wanted to call Blaine but she realized all the communication devices in that house were not connected to the outside world. Night soon arrived. Yaakov was drunk. He dragged his feet up the stairs. He did not return to his room, nor did he go to the study room. He walked straight to Ruby’s room instead. He entered the room without knocking on the door. It seemed like Ruby was trying to reconstruct a communication device. Yaakov’s eyes lit up in surprise. He strode over to her, snatched the device from her hands and smashed it on the ground! A loud snap echoed across the room and the device cracked into pieces. The sound sounded especially distinct in the quiet night. Yaakov grabbed Ruby’s arm, held her down, and kissed her. Yaakov was drunk but Ruby was wide awake. Ruby lifted her head and kicked him immediately. “Yaakov Drake! Don’t touch me!”
