Chapter 633 633: What Can I Get From Helping You?

The lounge was full of Irish's shadow, from the bed, window, sofas, bathroom, to even corridors.

Lies were too beautiful, so beautiful that he could not tell the truth and falsehood. He forgot too much, forgot that women's minds were complex!

In front of the mirror, Joseph's eyes became extremely cold, and the harsh eyebrow tips were also stained with frost coldness. He briskly waved away the appearance of Irish in his head and raised his hand. The bath liquid was thrown into the trash can.

An hour later, Joseph came out of the lounge.

As he finished washing, the tiredness in his brows disappeared. He changed into a black shirt, a pair of dark grey suit trousers, no tie, two buttons open, sleeves rolled up on his elbows, and looked low-key and languid.

Ruby had been waiting for a long time in the living room of the office. She sat on the sofa quietly and drank rose tea. She threw two sugar cubes into the teapot very skillfully. When she heard the noise in the lounge, she looked up. When she saw Joseph, her finger trembled slightly with the sugar cubes.

The cubes fell on the tea table and shook off a lot of sugar residue. Ruby quickly took the napkin, wiped away the residue, throwing it into the garbage can.

She became nervous because Joseph looked more apathetic than ever. Stranger, she only found this word to describe Joseph in front of her.

"What can I do for you?" Joseph sat down opposite her and put the sugar in the rose teapot.

Instead of tea, he poured a cup of black coffee and put it in front of him. Soon, the fragrance of the coffee covered the fragrance of the rose.

Ruby's finger pulled back from the rim of the cup, looked at Joseph, and immediately said, "I want to know what I have to do so you can let me go."

This made Joseph frown, "What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend now." Ruby sneered, "It's what you want to do with Emery and me?"

Joseph looked up at her for a moment, held up the cup, and sipped his coffee. The bitter black coffee spread quickly in his mouth, and his heart was bitter.

"Daisy told me that you came to me to seek my help." He didn't explain anything. He put the glass down and just said a few words, which meant go straight to the point and stop talking so much.

Ruby, after all, had been his friend, and she could feel whether he was intolerant or not. She cleared up her throat, "I hope you can let me and Emery go."

"Why? You and Emery are still so concerned?" Joseph was puzzled deliberately.

"Joseph, you know it!" Ruby gnawed her teeth.

Joseph calmly answered, "I am sorry, as for your situation, I really do not pay attention to that."

Ruby was so angry that she almost wanted to quarrel with him, but the thought of Emery still held down her anger. After a long time, she looked at Joseph; although her eyes were angry, her tone seemed to be somewhat sincere.

"This has happened, and I have no power to stop it. Joseph, now you have what you want, still, you can't let go of Emery and me? Okay, I'll take it for granted that you didn't do it. Can I ask you for a favor? I know you can handle this, at the very least, don't let those reporters at the door of Emery's house every day, so she can get out and do her routine."

Joseph looked at the coffee in the cup, the delicate silver spoon gently stirred and refracted dazzling light. His face was always calm, but the tone was cold, "You people of the Lake family do not have a bit of self-care ability? In addition to business, am I responsible for your ordinary life?"

Ruby clenched her lips, and her hands clenched into fists.

"Do you know how much trouble your father caused me during his short days on the board? Oh, perhaps you don't care at all." Joseph put down his spoon and looked up at her with clear displeasure in his eyes.

Ruby felt his displeasure and remained silent for a moment. As before, she was not interested in the reorganization of the board of directors. She had heard more or less about it, but she knew nothing about it.

"One of his wrong decisions led to a serious capital chain freeze in the Runestone Group. Do you know what that means?" Joseph's eyes squinted slightly, sharply gazed at her, and light flashed through his eyes, saying, "It means that vultures have been circling our heads long before they dive down and tear the Runestone's bones."

Ruby shivered.

"And now here you are, suddenly appearing and telling me that you're worried about you and Emery's boring personal problems, aren't you?" Joseph's tone was cold and harsh.

Ruby's breathing became sharp.

"What exactly can you do for the Lake from top to bottom?" Joseph looked at her coldly. "If the Runestone Group is swallowed one day, who cares about your life or death? Now the reporter is surrounding you because your status is Miss Lake, and when no one talks to you that day, you can't be in the headlines even if you strip naked on the street!"

"I know that the Runestone Group can't survive without you, and that is the truth that everyone in the Lake family does understand, so Roy handed over power to your hands." Ruby freed her hand and looked at Joseph with an entreaty expression, "I don't care about Miss Lake's status at all. I only care about Emery. Joseph, I beg you, let us go, help us, you have helped me, and it helped you also. This kind of thing is not good for the Runestone Group after all."

​ Joseph looked at her gradually, his eyes restored indifference, leaning back, and there was a moment of silence. He said, "Okay, I can help you, but what can I get from that?"

Ruby was stunned, "For the sake of the Runestone Group."

Joseph coldly sneered, "To tell the truth, you and Emery's thing can't cause any threat to me, don't forget, I pave the 2/3 of the market channel of the Runestone. Do you think I can save the Runestone by only pacifying your scandal?"

Ruby could not answer it for a moment. She knew that it was not difficult to save the Runestone Group with his ability and that what she had just said could only push him to be even more displeased. She thought for a long time and thought many things, all related to Emery.
