Chapter 523 Michael called Troy in and personally locked the door behind him .
Troy , shifting uneasily , spoke first .
Mr.
Rhodes , about Ruby and me … We did go to the hotel yesterday .
But aside from … well , you know … I was genuinely there to discuss business .
Honestly , if I hadnt kept her happy , we wouldnt have secured the Amberpeak Corporation deal so easily .
Michael waved dismissively .
I didnt call you here to scold you .
Troy froze , caught off guard .
I thought you would scold me for mixing personal matters with work ! In truth , Troy had not gone to the hotel to talk business at all .
Rubys stunning beauty had completely captivated him .
Their initial flirtation quickly escalated into something far more intimate , and the deal came up only afterward .
By chance , Troy learned that Ruby was a representative for Amberpeak Corporation .
The realization thrilled him sealing such a significant partnership would be the perfect way to prove himself as the new head of the Pharmaceutical Division .
It felt like fate itself had handed him this golden opportunity , and he could not help but feel triumphant .
Michael clasped his hands together , his expression stern .
Troy , regarding our collaboration with Ms.
Dickinson , there are some critical details I need to know every single one of them .
Leave nothing out .
Troy straightened up , suddenly serious .
Of course , Mr.
Rhodes .
Ill report everything to you in full detail .
With a project worth two billion , I understand how important it is to get everything right ! Michael nodded thoughtfully , then hesitated before speaking again .
Good .
Now , tell me everything about your … time with Ruby at the Stanton Hotel .
And I mean everything .
Troys jaw dropped .
Mr.
Rhodes , you … 11 Michael cut him off .
Dont ask why .
Just think of it as a personal preference .

You know how sometimes , after indulging in too much , you just enjoy watching others eat ? Its like that .
You get what I mean , dont you ? Troy , confused and a bit disturbed , reluctantly nodded .
He did not fully understand but dared not refuse .
Sighing inwardly , he began recounting his time with Ruby , sparing no detail .
Michael listened intently , his eyes glinting with interest .
On the other hand , Troy felt increasingly uneasy , wondering if Michael might actually be some kind of creep .
After leaving Rhodes Corporation , Ruby hailed a cab and returned to her hotel .
Waiting for her in the room was someone standing by the window , admiring the city skyline .
The person did not turn around but asked , Youre back .
How did things go with Rhodes Corporation ? Rubys posture became careful and deferential .
Just as you predicted , Ms.
Stevens .
Rhodes Corporation is on board and has agreed to the collaboration .
Troy , in particular , is entirely under my control .
Hell do whatever I tell him .
1/2 Chapter 523 +25 BONUS The figure by the window turned to face her it was Aspen .
She gestured for Ruby to sit down .
Aspen said with a faint smile , Well done .
It seems my efforts to get you out of prison werent wasted .
Ruby , however , did not dare sit and remained standing .
I owe you everything , Ms.
Stevens .
Ill do whatever it takes to repay your kindness .
1 Aspens smile remained faint .
Spare me the gratitude .
We both know the truth.
All you need to remember is that Im the one who gave you this second chance .
I can help you get your revenge on Lauren .
Her tone grew colder .
After all , those years in prison werent easy for you , were they ? Rubys eyes filled with venomous hatred .
Exactly .
Its because of that bitch Lauren that Im willing to stoop so low as to sleep with someone like Troy just to set my plan in motion .
