Ruby's sigh shows her inner worry, but that doesn't stop her from shutting her eyes and taking the content of the bottle. It has a sharp taste, not what she was expecting, and it travels down her throat. She might grab Andrew's hand, her eyes widen with uncertainty. “Hey, you're fine.” He assures her, holding the small of her back. Ruby nods, but drowsiness has started to overtake her. Her eyes shut and she slips into unconsciousness. This doesn't scare Andrew at all, it's all part of the process, he knew that it was going to happen. He picks her up on her feet as if she is light as feathers. He takes her to the bed, but he meets Uma sitting up on her own, staring at him carrying her mother. “What's wrong with mummy?” She rubs her eyes. “Mummy just fell asleep. She is alright.” He smiles. He puts Ruby into the bed and tucks her in. Her chest is heaving, she is very much alive, she just needs to be asleep for the powerful medicine to work in her body. Uma just watches with cal
Andrew surprises everyone when Ruby's wedding ring turns out to be a hundred thousand dollars ring. She is too stunned to speak, her mother keeps looking at the ring close up, they can't believe this! “Andrew, where did you get such an amount of money to spend on a ring?” Thomas asks. “Army retirement funds.” Andrew shrugs. “It's not much.” Thomas has his jaw on the ground and this makes Andrew very happy. If he reveals to them just how rich and influential he is, they might just get heart attacks. He will reveal it to them bit by bit. As they are gushing over the ring, Andrew uses the time to step out of the house. “Let me get some fresh bread for breakfast tomorrow,” he grabs his coat. As he walks down the street, he gets picked up by a black Gwagon, Tina is the driver. “Good evening, boss.” She greets. “I have told you, Tina, you have to practice informally speaking to me. Do you want to keep referring to me as your boss in front of people?” He sighs. Tina bites down her
Ruby is overcome with great fear because she didn't think that these ladies would actually accuse her of stealing the ring. She has no idea that the evil ladies have come up with a plan. They think that Ruby is a dummy, they think she is going to become very afraid and run away so that they can sell it for a hefty price. One of them goes and locks up the place. Wanting to intimidate her even more. Ruby is scared, but she manages to keep her emotions still. She knows that she is not a thief, but these ladies are very scary. “Is this what you have been doing as a business? You walk into stores and steal from them? You have come to the wrong place.” One of them pokes her shoulder. Ruby inhales deeply. “We are going to call the police on you.” The other one huffs. “Guess what? You will go to jail for being such a sneaky thief.” “I'm not a thief.” Ruby inhales. “This is my ring and I'm not leaving without it.” The ladies look at each other and laugh. They think they have won the j
Mrs Bane is covered in chills as she goes over to Tina. “Oh my God, Officer Lee, it's you!” She covers her mouth. “In New York! In the flesh!” Tina gives Mrs Bane a small smile. Before Mrs Bane can push the conversation further, two police officers burst into the place. The girls look at each other, fear has engulfed them at this point. “Good day, ladies. We were informed about a theft and we are here to look at the situation.” The police look around. It's a bit hard to tell who the criminal is. Mrs Bane turns to her girls, her head tilted in confusion. “Is that why there are glasses everywhere, what happened?” Mrs Bane wonders. “I was the one who made the ugly scene.” Tina folds her hands. “Your girls were being very disrespectful to this young lady here and I had to step in.” Mrs Bane looks at Ruby, she sees the way Ruby looks timid. She angrily turns to her girls, wanting to ask for an explanation, but the door opens and Andrew walks in. The first thing he does is to walk
“Oh my God, you don't have to!” Ruby shakes her head. “This is too precious!” Mrs Bane only smiles as she puts it on her neck. Ruby feels the necklace, it sits so pretty on her neck, complimenting her beauty. “Have a blessed day, madame. And I wish to do business with you again in the near future.” Ruby goes on to hug Andrew out of pure excitement. Since her grandfather kicked them out, this is the most expensive thing that she has ever received. No one has even gifted her anything since then. After she has shown it off to Andrew, she turns to Tina. How can she forget the woman who saved her? If not for Tina's timely intervention, she would have been embarrassed and her ring would have been taken away from you. “Ma'am, thank you so much for your help,” Ruby says. “If you chose to ignore me when the girls were harassing me, I would have been in serious trouble.” Tina's face turns red, she finds herself stuttering. Did the boss' wife just call her ma'am? “Urm, Miss Sanchez, you
Adriana can't bring herself to sleep. She can't imagine why that fool, Andrew Carter, would get away with insulting her family like that. She has checked every military database and Jasper has also tried to use his father's connections to find out about Andrew, but nothing came up. Who is he? Why has the useless son-in-law turned into a Superman all of a sudden? He is hurling insults at them without fear and he seems to be superhuman too?! A servant walks in to serve her a hot plate of noodles. “Young madame, I have brought your food,” “Get out of my presence immediately!” Adriana yells with anger. She has forgotten that a few minutes ago, she requested some noodles. The lady runs away to avoid losing her job. Adriana angrily gets up to her feet and goes to change her clothes. She is going to see her grandfather, Mister William Sanchez….She gets to the mansion in exactly twenty minutes. She used to live in a small apartment, but she moved into the big house that used to belong
Everyone has just woken up from a long nap as they are all having dinner at the table, Andrew pulls out a wad of cash and drops it on the table, throwing them all in surprise. “Andrew, where did you get such money from?” Doreen asks, her eyes widened. “If you stole it, take it back!” Thomas orders. “We might be poor, but we are not thieves.” Andrew just laughs at their worries. “Oh, Dad and mum, you don't have to worry. Everything is fine, I didn't steal the money. It's part of the money that the army gave me for my retirement.” Ruby sighs as she picks up the money. It's thousands of dollars, more than she has seen in a long time. Andrew kisses her. “Use it and register Uma in a good school. I need our daughter to have a sound education.” “Oh, Andrew, Uma is already in the nursery school down the road. It's not much, but at least we can afford it.” Ruby says. “No, I want only the best for my daughter. She is our heir, why will she attend such a cheap school?” Doreen can't help
Casper Romanoff deals with the production of plane parts and he is making a whole lot of money. He has a skyscraper in the middle of the busy city of New York and he has over a thousand workers. Because of how rich Romanoff is, he is very rude to the people who have worked with him. As Thomas walks Andrew to the front of the building, where he is to start his work, Thomas tells him that he formally did some construction work for Mister Romanoff, but the man spat in his face and refused to pay him. This makes Andrew's jaw tighten and he makes a mental note to punish Romanoff even more. When they walk into the building, Thomas hands the tools and the cleaners overall to Andrew. “Find a cleaners’ locker room and change. After you have worked, they will give you a check for a hundred dollars. It's not much, but it's something. Above all, avoid Mister Romanoff at all cost…” Andrew nods and bids him farewell. As soon as Thomas leaves, Andrew gets to work. There are other people like
