Chapter 187 Check It Out
When Ruby woke up the next day, she was already in bed at home, sleeping next to Olivia, with Levi still on the floor, breathing evenly, as if everything last night was just a dream, with a very surreal feeling.
Ruby sat there in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses.
“Mommy.” Olivia opened her eyes and reached out her hand to grab Ruby’s hand, “Don’t be afraid, mommy, I have grown up, I can protect you.”
Ruby’s heart softened at her words and she reached out to gently pull Olivia into her arms, “When did it become your turn to protect me?”
“Hey, I am going to be really, really strong, and then I will protect you.” Olivia giggled, scratching her head and making a serious promise.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Ruby did not take it to heart and raised her hand to flick her on the forehead before getting up and going to cook breakfast.
Both Levi and Ruby had a tacit agreement not to mention anything about what happened yesterday, especially everything that happened after Ruby drank, Levi just acted as if nothing had happened.
When they had eaten breakfast, Ruby’s mobile phone rang.
She glanced at the caller and frowned in disgust, but answered the phone anyway, “What’s up.”
“Ruby, you’re famous now! You went to the old lady’s birthday yesterday? You even gave her a cure?” Vincent’s voice, somewhat exaggeratedly, came over inside the phone.
Ruby took the phone away in disgust, probably knowing what had happened, “Get down to business.”
“The video of you treating the old lady of the Finn family has been released, and it’s all over the major social forums now. Everyone knows that you have great medical skills and can cure a dead man. I assume there will be a lot of people lining up to come to you. And now that your identity as Mrs. Finn has been revealed, all those people will probably be begging for help from the Finn family, and the Finn family will really be famous this time!” Vincent blared out all the circumstances to Ruby.
After saying that, he scolded bitterly, “Ruby, I have worked so hard to help you keep your identity a secret, why are you so careless?”
“I got set up. You go and find out who is behind this, and by the way, find out who release the video of the Finn family.” Ruby raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
She didn’t want to keep a low profile, but she didn’t want to be high profile in this way either.
Now with all the fuss, it seemed she can’t hide her identity.
Ruby thought couldn’t help but glance at Levi not far away, intuiting trouble.
After hanging up Vincent’s call, Ruby raised her hand and knocked on the table in front of Levi: “Come to my room, I have something to tell you.”
Levi got up obediently and followed Ruby into the room.
Cara and Olivia exchanged a look, both smiling meaningfully.
Inside the room, Ruby sat on the bed and looked up at Levi: “The incident of going to the Finn’s house last night was exposed.”
“I know.” Levi was not surprised at all.
It was impossible for the Finn family to let go of this great opportunity, and they would certainly publicize it so much that they wanted everyone to know that Ruby was an excellent doctor.
With Ruby as a cash cow, the Finn family would soon be among the top ten families in the country in the next few years’ time, and by then they could move from Sea City to the capital and squeeze into the real upper class.
“I suspect that this time the old lady suddenly held a birthday party, there is someone behind it who deliberately instigated it, also, this time my identity being exposed may bring some trouble, you should be mentally prepared.” Ruby coughed sheepishly and gave a glance at Levi.
Levi was calm, looking at her with a wry smile, not saying anything.
Ruby looked up at the sky silently, “I have to go to the Institute today, so I gotta go.”
Dropping the words, Ruby went straight out the door.
When she arrived at the institute, she saw Dr. Moore walking out in hurry. When he saw Ruby, he faintly stared at the sight of her, before he quickly stepped forward and pulled her inside: “Why are you here at the Institute at this time? Go and hide in the laboratory first.”
“What’s wrong?” Ruby looked at Dr. Moore in confusion.
“There are people coming for you, they asked us to hand over the research results of the lab, I refused, now they are on their way to the institute, I guess they will arrive soon, you should hide first, don’t fight them hard, these people are tough nuts.” Dr. Moore said with an grim face while pulling Ruby to the laboratory and opening the door to enter.
Ruby’s face changed and she looked at Dr. Moore for a long time before saying indifferently, “If they want our research result, just give it to them.”
“What did you say!?” Dr. Moore thought he had misheard and looked at Ruby incredulously.
“The experimental data is meaningless, even if you give it to them, they won’t be able to replicate the exact same experimental drug. It doesn’t matter, just give it to them if they want it, all the experimental data, in detail, give it to them. They will still come to beg you, when the time comes, it’s not too late for us to take revenge together.” Ruby smiled coldly.
These people really had a good idea. Seeing that the clinical trial of the experimental medicine was successful and would be put into use soon, which would bring huge benefits, they could not wait to enjoy the benefits. But how could it be so easy to steal?
Dr. Moore smiled, and then suddenly understood what Ruby meant.
The key core lied in the formula of the medicine, which was not owned by their institute but provided by Ruby, they were only responsible for the clinical experiments.
When Dr. Moore figured it out, he was in a much more relaxed mood.
“Good, then you wait here for now while I deal with them. They’ll be here soon, and I guess they can’t even dream that the experimental data they worked so hard to pressure to get is nothing but a pile of scrap paper.” Dr. Moore was in a good mood at this moment, laughing loudly and turning around to leave.
Ruby looked at Dr. Moore with that look on his face and knew that he was probably holding back a lot these days and didn’t tell her, less she would be worried.
Dr. Moore went out just in time to see the group of people from the Capital Institute come in, each with a lofty and unassailable look.
“Oscar, go and get all the experimental data that’s been collated, give it to them and tell them to get out immediately.”
