Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 140

Ruby arrived at the Darling Group’s entrance early. She had been coming here for two days in a row, but she hadn’t seen Joseph. Only five days remained until the one-week deadline.

She was in a hurry so she had left without eating breakfast, and now her stomach was starting to hurt.

Ruby went to the store downstairs and bought two sandwiches. She had to find a way to see Joseph today. If she couldn’t complete the task, she didn’t know what Emily would do to her mother.

At that time, a Maybach drove over. Ruby picked up the sandwiches and ran towards the Maybach.

The Maybach braked suddenly.

Ruby stood in front of the car. She really had no other choice but to risk her life to stop the car. But now she had no courage to face the person in the car. Because of the sudden brake, Joseph, who was reading documents in the car, almost hit his head. And all the documents fell.

"Mr. Darling, I’m sorry. A woman suddenly ran out and stopped our car." The driver was so frightened that he apologized tremblingly.

"Who is it?" Joseph hadn’t slept in the hospital all night, and now someone was stopping his car. It was like courting death.

"Mr. Darling, this woman has been wandering around our gate for the past two days. She should be looking for you," the driver reported respectfully.

"Go and send her away." Joseph leaned against the car window, resting his head on one hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Okay." The driver nodded, pushed open the car door, and got out.

"Miss, are you alright?" the driver asked.

Ruby’s legs were still trembling. Her life was almost lost. She waved her hand and said, "I’m fine. Give me a second."

"Miss, do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?" the driver asked in a businesslike tone.

"No, thanks." She was just here to discredit herself and elevate Sienna. There was no need to go to the hospital. She had to explain everything quickly and then go home to accompany her kid.

"Well, then please step aside. Thank you!" The driver still had a smile on his face and turned to get in the car.

"Wait, is Joseph in the car?" Her legs were still weak. After rescuing her mother, she would teach Emily a good lesson.

The driver had a wary look in his eyes. ’As expected, she was here for Mr. Darling, he thought. "Miss, what’s the matter? I can pass it on for you."

Ruby shook her head and said, "You can’t pass it on. It’s complicated. I have to speak to him in person."
