Its your own doing .

Octavia stood there , seething with rage .

But thankfully , the money family was bankrupt , so her own secrets wouldnt come to light .

I wont let you off , Octavia muttered through gritted teeth , glaring at Joycelyns retreating figure .

As Joycelyn walked farther away , Octavias anger still hadnt subsided .

Octavia turned around and saw Lindas work ID , noting her position as a director .

Instantly , she put on a sweet smile .

Hello , this is Octavia , Joycelyns sister .

Octavia stretched out her hand politely .

Linda shook it , smiling as she said , Did you just say she married a poor guy ? Have you met him ? Linda had heard some gossip at the company , though it hadnt been blown out of proportion .

Tve met him .

Hes good looking , but hes an insurance salesman .

He bought her a small car , and that was enough to make her cut off all contact with her family .

Octavias face was filled with disdain , but she quickly put on a sweet act to maintain her image .

Linda nodded thoughtfully .

Youre the events hostess , right ? Youre young and beautiful how about we exchange contacts ? I can call you for future events .

] Ellison : [ Okay , I might be half an hour late .

] After finishing the conversation , Joycelyn asked Aurelia where she was , planning to meet up .

Aurelia told her to hurry because Ruby had arrived and was making a big scene .

The staff was busy greeting her .

Joycelyn didnt think much of it at first but then realized it was more of a grand entrance than just a simple greeting .

What started as a professional event now had media flooding in .

Cameras were clicking non stop as they filmed Ruby at the check in area .

The staff and event hosts seemed like they were just tools for stardom like they were about to hold up a We love you sign .

After the photos were taken and the check in was completed , Ruby went up on stage to give another speech .

She handled the questions from industry professionals with precision and expertise .

Dressed in a Chanel style , elegant and professional outfit , Ruby exuded luxury .

Her words were smooth and authoritative , and Joycelyn couldnt help but admire her .

The rich girl really knew how to play the game .

Joycelyn decided not to get involved .

She checked the time almost time to leave .

She planned to head to the staff lounge to grab her bag and head out .

As she passed a security door, she heard a mans voice behind it , speaking calmly about the development and applications of the intelligent systems .

His voice trailed off as Rubys loud , clear voice echoed through the venue , responding to a question .

Joycelyns sharp eyes widened in surprise .

She thought , That voice sounds familiar .

Could it be that Ruby was just a figurehead for the project ? Maybe the real development was done by the professional team ? Joycelyns admiration turned to disdain .

The rich truly had their dirty little secrets .

She heard the Q & A session winding down , and the man behind the door was likely about to leave .

Joycelyn quickly retreated into the staff lounge .

Not long after , she heard the door open .

As Ruby and her entourage walked past , Rubys voice rang out .

Liam , the conference went really well .

Keep pushing forward , and if I get my way , your treatment will improve .
