Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise novel Chapter 386

What made Ruby angry was her ten–year–old cousin, Johnny. Despite being ten years old, he would still run into her room and make a mess, twisting open the bottles of skincare products she had just bought and spilling their contents all over the floor.

Ruby was livid and confronted Gianna, but unexpectedly, Gianna defended her son. “Did you put gold or some precious treasure in these things, worth 2 thousand dollars? Ruby, I might not be well–versed in these matters, but you can’t deceive me like this.”

Ruby handed her the empty bottle. “Deceive you? Can’t you read? Just do a simple online search, and you’ll find that this bottle of serum is worth over a hundred dollars.”

“A hundred dollars for a bottle of serum? Are there really serums that expensive?” Gianna didn’t explicitly acknowledge it, but deep down, she believed that Ruby’s increasingly youthful and radiant skin was a result of using expensive skincare products. If August was willing to buy Gianna such costly skincare items, she too could enhance her beauty year after year.

Ruby insisted, “Compensate me!”

Gianna replied, “Ruby, Johnny is your cousin, your blood relative. He only spilled a few bottles of skincare products. Why are you making such a fuss? Where did you learn these bad habits from?”

Just a few bottles of skincare products?

Ruby couldn’t help but laugh at this shameless woman. “Exactly, just a few bottles of skincare products. Then you should compensate me.”

Gianna sat with her legs crossed, sipping her coffee and watching TV, looking very leisurely. “I have no money. If someone broke it, go ask them for compensation.”

Ruby exclaimed, “He’s ten years old! He’s already ten! If you don’t instill some discipline now, he’ll have to face the consequences in the real world, sooner or later!”

“Ruby, watch your language!” Gianna deliberately raised her voice, well aware of Ruby’s close bond with Lumma. “I know you’re a good girl, but I’m certain that all these bad habits of yours are influenced by that bitch, Lumma. Ruby, let me tell you, stay away from her and don’t let her lead you astray.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? We were talking about skincare products. Don’t bring Worm into this.” Ruby could keep her cool in most situations, but when it came to Lumma, she couldn’t help but lose her composure.

Gianna knew that mentioning Lumma would provoke Ruby, so she kept bringing up Lumma’s affairs. “That little bitch went to Soothy City last time and got involved with some shady guy. She got her own uncle sent to jail for a few days and even caused her grandmother to sever ties with her uncle. She’s nothing but a jinx, bringing death to her mother when she was born, killing her father when she was a few years old, and even causing her grandmother to fall ill… Anyone who gets involved with her is sure to have no good fortune. You better stay away from her.”
