Chapter 326 A Small Problem

“You messed up, and now that things are going south, you want to act like it’s not your fault? Life doesn’t work that way” 

Sandy broke down crying. 

“What else could I do? You told me I’m your only daughter and you’d always look out for me. Now that there’s a small problem, you’re already giving up on me?” 

Ruby stayed silent. 

A small problem? She was hated by the whole country. 

Just for this mess, she had to call in the PR team to figure out a plan to save Sandy’s reputation. 

That would take a long time. There was no quick fix. 

Until then, the best thing Sandy could do was stay home and stay out of public sight. 

“Mike, take her home.” 

Michael was still “injured.” Alice had just dealt with him that day, so he was on his best behavior. 

He didn’t dare act up. 

“Sandy, let’s go.” 

Sandy shoved him away. 

“I can walk myself.” 

As she walked past Ruby, she hissed through gritted teeth, “People always talk about parents favoring sons over daughters. I never felt it before, but today I finally see it’s true.” 

Ruby’s face went dark. 

Michael turned pale on the spot. 

Yvette glanced at them and found it kind of funny. 

Compared to her, both of them were spoiled rich kids. 

But Sandy was definitely the most pampered kid in all of Mapleford. 

Even though Michael was a boy, and Ruby did love him, the Nolans had their way of raising sons. 

Ruby rarely interfered because she knew it was for his own good. 

Strictly speaking, Sandy spent more time by Ruby’s side and received more of her motherly love. 

Now, by accusing her of favoring her son, Sandy was basically stabbing Ruby right in the heart. Since Yvette wanted to be Ruby’s daughter–in–law one day, she walked over and said softly, “Sandy was just upset by those people.

She spoke without thinking. Please don’t take it to heart.” 

Ruby rubbed her temples and waved her hand. 

“It’s fine. We’re mother and daughter. I’m not holding a grudge. You and Michael should head home” 

Yvette had only come over to say a few comforting words anyway. Seeing Ruby was just trying to act tough, she didn’t push it. 

She called Michael and left the office. 

After everyone left, Ruby slumped onto the sofa. 

She had worked so hard for years, focusing on her kids and her career. 

In the end, her child didn’t understand her, and her career wasn’t going well either. 

It felt like everything she did was for nothing. 

Alice was so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there. 

It wasn’t that Eric helped her–that wasn’t the crazy part. 

After all, they had a good “doctor–patient” relationship, so helping each other out made sense. 

Speaking up for her was also fine, since in public they had to act like a loving couple and keep up appearances. 

But then, he suddenly gave her a princess carry! 

She was a five–foot–seven tough girl! 

Getting carried like a princess! 

The video was everywhere, and her friends were already calling to make fun of her. 

Especially Risa. 

She probably wanted to hide under their bed all night and eavesdrop. 

In reality, after Eric carried her to the IT department, he just sat down on the sofa in her office and closed his eyes to rest. 

Shouldn’t he explain what was going on? 

What was actually going on? 

Risa called again. 

She wanted the gossip straight from the front lines. 

Alice had to go into the next room to take the call. 

“Girl, how far have you two gotten?”

Alice sighed. “What do you mean, ‘how far‘? We’re at work, girl.” 

Risa went quiet for a second, then exploded. 

“Holy crap, office play?!” 

Alice was speechless. Sometimes, she really wanted to cut this friendship off. 

She felt helpless. 

Risa finally got serious. 

“The angelic art style thing abroad is over. 

“I don’t know how, but Halsey got involved. You should be careful.” 

Alice froze when she heard that name. 

It sounded familiar, but she couldn’t place it right away. 

Risa sighed again when Alice didn’t answer. 

“Forgot? That rude guy? Damon’s mentor?” 

Alice remembered instantly. 

“Oh, that guy. Wait–what do you mean by angelic art style?” 

Lately, Alice had been getting tons of invitations to that event. She had figured it didn’t hurt to go, so she said yes. 

But now this? 

This was disgusting. 

Risa sounded tired. “Your identity is still safe. They don’t know you and Halsey have beef. 

“But Halsey seems to have a connection with the organizers. Just watch your 

back. 

“Also, I found some information about your biological parents. I just sent it to your phone.”
