"This is so painful..."

Ruby said to herself as she staggered out of the hotel door. Her clothes were in disarray, and her eyes clearly showed fear and nervousness.

"How is this possible? How can there be a man in that room..."

A storm of questions swirled in her mind, as if someone had disturbed the sea of calm within her. She could feel her heart pounding, which was intensifying with her pain and fear. Yet, despite her suffering, Ruby endured the pain and ran toward home.

As soon as she reached home, Ruby heard the stern voice of her father, James Smith.

"Why did you come back so late at night? You are a girl. Is it okay for you to stay out all night like this?”

James' questions made Ruby's heart skip a beat. She was about to say something, but her stepmother, Layla, answered her.

"What can she do? It's all because you don't want her to go abroad to study. To fulfill her dream she secretly sold herself to a rich man. Now that she has money she can go anywhere. There is no need for him to come home and show his face."

Ruby's face turned pale after hearing this. She was deeply hurt by her mother's words. She came out in the open to explain herself, “No, I didn’t do that at all. I didn’t sell myself to anyone.”

"Stop arguing," Layla said angrily, ignoring Ruby's words and threw a photo straight onto the table.

"This is the proof. Ruby, when you can dare to spend the night with someone then why can't you dare to admit it in front of everyone?”

In the photo, Ruby was seen coming out of a hotel room. Her face turned red for a moment. She felt panic in her eyes, as if all her secrets were suddenly exposed.

"I..." Ruby was completely silent. She tugged at her collar guiltily, trying to hide the vague marks on her neck. What happened tonight was so sudden that he hasn’t even realized what is happening yet!

Her best friend had called her to meet him at the hotel. She thought, “We will talk about something, we will relive old memories.”

But as soon as he opened the door, everything changed. A strange man was standing right in front of the door. She could not see his face as it was immersed in darkness. But the man grabbed her and pushed her on the bed. Strange thoughts started coming to her mind, but she could not do anything. Her heart started beating faster.

What happened after that was like a nightmare to her.She couldn't deny it in any way, her world had suddenly fallen into a dark well.

"What the hell is going on?"

James saw through Ruby's guilt at a glance.

"So you didn't go to your friend's house but instead went out to do all this in a hotel room?" How could her daughter, whom she had raised with great difficulty, be so bad?

James was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I taught you for 20 years, but you have become like this? You have no shame, but I am ashamed! Get out of here. I will understand that I had only one daughter.”

Ruby had never seen her father so angry. She felt terrible and stood at the door, not knowing what to do.

At this time, her stepsister, Hazel, came downstairs with a large box and dumped everything at the door as if trash were being thrown away.

He said in a cold voice, "Go away from here. We do not want the filth you spread outside to have even the slightest effect on the people living in this house.” Saying this, he deliberately pushed Ruby out of the door.

Hazel has disliked Ruby for a long time. Now she finally has a good reason to chase this little bitch away! The more Hazel thought about it, the more satisfied she became.

At the entrance, Hazel said in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "Ruby, I think you're pathetic. Let me tell you a secret. In fact, Nora and I have prepared a secret especially for you tonight. You are really stupid, after seeing a message, you reached the hotel room without thinking and that too only after seeing the message of your best friend Nora.”

The Nora that Hazel mentioned. She was Ruby's best friend. It was Nora who sent Ruby a text message saying that she needed to talk to Ruby about something.

Ruby was very happy to spend time with her friend, so she immediately took a taxi to the hotel and went to the room specified by Nora.

But she didn't expect there to be a man in the room.

Now she finds out that it was all a hoax! She was deceived by her step-sister and best friend! She clenched her fists tightly and her nails dug into her palms. But Ruby felt no pain.

They were sisters, but Hazel was always trying to hurt her! Now, for the first time, she had even found a man desperate enough to ruin her! She couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart and slapped Hazel hard on the cheeks.

Hazel was stunned for a few seconds. She covered her face and cried, “How dare you hit me! Mom, Dad, Ruby have gone crazy. She hit me!”

Seeing her daughter palm her face, Laila became so angry that her voice became a little shrill.

"Ruby, you are amazing! For your own selfish reasons, you spent the night with someone else at a hotel and now when you have returned home, you dare to raise your hand on my daughter. You think that no one in this family can control you, right?”

Hazel saw that her father didn’t say anything, so she bent over with a deliberate slap on his face and complained, “Dad, it hurts so much.”

At this point, James was not only angry with his eldest daughter's behavior, but also extremely disappointed. "Ruby, get out of here!”

Ruby stubbornly bit her lower lip, sat down, and collected the things scattered on the floor into the box one by one. These were her identity cards.

Faced with her parents' love for Hazel, her heart turned completely cold. Her father didn't even ask her what happened to her last night. He believed only in Laila's words and after listening to Laila, James gave his decision.

When Ruby's mother passed away, within a few days her father brought her stepmother Laila home. After Laila's arrival, Ruby considered the family as her own. Now that family had become an unknown family in which there was no place for Ruby.

Ruby's mother was a policewoman. She sacrificed herself for a dangerous job, and she didn't know that her husband had cheated on her until she died! Since the family no longer welcomed her, she did not want to stay any longer.

Hazel looked at his back as he left, feeling so proud. She had finally driven that little bitch away.

Five years later.

Inside a luxurious villa.

"Young Master, our people found out that the girl you gave your watch to at the club five years ago is selling it in the second-hand market."

“Did you find out who he is?” The man frowned, and there was a dignified expression on his cold face.

This person was the sole heir of the number one family in Capital City, the Carter Group. He was Michael Carter. Right after he took over the family business, the market value of the Carter Group had increased several times. This was a qualified business overlord.

The night five years ago, it was the first time that he was framed. In the business world, someone wanted to catch his weakness and deliberately sent someone to drug him. While he was still sane, he escaped from that private room. When he was in the most pain, a woman appeared and helped him solve his urgent problem.

Ruining a girl's innocence was the biggest mistake of his life. He made up his mind that he would be responsible for that girl for the rest of his life.

The only clue was the limited edition watch left at the hotel. Soon, Michael's men knew the whole story and reported immediately.

"Young Master, we have found that girl!"

"Give me her address. I will go and find her myself." Michael's tone was firm.

The mysterious girl had finally appeared. He couldn't let her go this time.
