The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Ruby was well aware of Brody's intention. He would always say things such as 'ladies first' in front of her to make it seem as if he was very gentlemanly, but he was actually unwilling to suffer any losses.noveldrama

Ruby was too lazy to be bothered with him nor did she want to owe him any favors. She would let him investigate the Armed Calvary Guards since he wanted to do so. Since she could not be bothered to take credit, she might as well take advantage of this opportunity to travel around and experience life instead.

So, she said to Brody, "Mr. Jothurn, since you have chosen to investigate the Armed Calvary Guards, let's go our separate ways here. Good luck to you." With that said, she pushed the car door open to get out of the car.

Brody hurriedly said, "Miss Dijo, there are no villages or shops here, so why are you getting out of the car? Why don't we head to Bergen together? I'll go to Bergen Airport to look for clues, and you can go to the port to look for clues there. The British Lord speculated that Vera most likely left by ship, so you might be able to gain some clues along the port."

Ruby ignored him and got out of the car. She then ran her fingers through her long and beautiful hair as she said with a smile, "What's the difference between me going to the port to find the whereabouts of a ship and me looking for the whereabouts of where a fish swam to? I'd rather not do that."

Brody looked at her and asked, "What idea do you have in mind now, Miss Dijo?"

Ruby laughed and said, "I don't have any good ideas. I just thought that I might be able to find some clues nearby since Vera disappeared here. I'll check into a small hotel nearby for a few days. Mr. Jothurn, since you want to go to Bergen, you should hurry up and set off instead of wasting time here."

Brody was helpless and said, "Okay, I'll go to Bergen Airport to look for clues first. The plane sent the Armed Calvary Guards directly to Bergen Airport, so I plan to trace them from Bergan Airport to see what the Armed Calvary Guards experienced all the way here. Miss Dijo, we can still spend a few days together if you don't plan to leave Bergen during this short period of time."

Ruby said seriously, "I wouldn't advise you to waste too much time in Bergen. Why don't you head to Cyprus first and ask the families of those Armed Calvary Guards about the situation?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Brody knew that Ruby did not want to have much interaction with him, but he wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Ruby for a few more days, so he said, "I think that there should have been no problems when the Armed Calvary Guards came to Bergen. There is a high probability that the enemy discovered something in advance and annihilated all the Armed Calvary Guards, just like how it was in New York. Therefore, the clues should still be here, and it doesn't make much sense for me to head to Cyprus directly."

Ruby shrugged and thought to herself, 'We can finally have such a long period of freedom, so why does he have to stick to me? Wouldn't it be nice for us to just go our separate ways and mind our own business? I plan to head to Eastern Europe to take a look there after we part ways, so why must he insist on staying here?'

Although Ruby disliked Brody, she could only stay in Northern Europe to deal with him temporarily since he did not have any plans to leave Northern Europe over the next few days. She understood Brody's personality very well, and she knew that if he were to know that she would be leaving Northern Europe directly, he might accuse her of acting perfunctorily in front of the British Lord in the future. At the time, it would not be worth it if she incurred the British Lord's wrath.

This was different from their casual complaints just now. It would be a great sin in the eyes of the British Lord if she was passive and inefficient in getting her job done.

Therefore, Ruby decided to stay in Northern Europe for a few more days and wait for Brody to leave Northern Europe before she left this place so that he would not be able to accuse her of anything.

She then said to Brody, "That's up to you, Mr. Jothurn. I'll walk around first. Perhaps Vera left the ring somewhere here when she left."

Brody chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Miss Dijo, you'd really be in luck if that's the case!"

After saying that, he stopped wasting time and said to Ruby, "I'll leave first, Miss Dijo. Let's keep in touch at all times!"

A few hours later, it was nightfall in the Middle East.
