Chapter 218 Ruby's Lie
"You're talking about Ruby, right? Didn't she go to see you?" Richard also looked confused, "She said a few days ago that she was going to stay with you for a few days, didn't you know?"
Evelyn froze. Ruby Kite had never mentioned this to her.
"Since you had an accident before, when you came back, Ruby said she would accompany you for a few days. I thought it was understandable since you had just experienced an earthquake and needed someone with you, so I didn't think too much and let her go," Richard continued.
Evelyn didn't answer. She remembered that Ruby Kite had called her to ask about her well-being, but she hadn't come to see her. At that time, she thought Ruby was busy, but now it seemed otherwise.
She remained silent, and Richard couldn't help but feel nervous, "What's going on? Ruby didn't go to find you?"
"No, she called me before, but she never came to see me. I always thought she was busy, so I didn't question it." Little did she expect that Ruby Kite would tell her father that she was going to find her? Wasn't that a blatant lie?
Now Richard was truly panicked, and immediately dialed Ruby Kite's number on his phone.
However, a mechanical female voice immediately sent him into despair, "The cellphone is turned off."
"She didn't come to find you, where could she be?" Richard was somewhat flustered, worried about his daughter.
Seeing this, Evelyn could only comfort him, "Mr. Kite, please don't worry. Maybe she's just busy and her phone happened to be turned off."
"But why would she lie to me?" She clearly didn't go to find Evelyn, but she lied and said she was staying at Evelyn's.
Evelyn couldn't understand either. She fell silent, and suddenly thought of the boyfriend that Ruby Kite had never introduced her to.
To be precise, he wasn't really a boyfriend, because Ruby Kite had once said that he never gave her a title.
Thinking of this, Evelyn had no choice but to ask Richard, "It seems like Ruby has someone she likes. Do you know about it?"
"Someone she likes?" Richard was surprised, "I don't know. She never told me."
"Who is it? What's his name? I'll have someone investigate right away." Richard keenly sensed that something was off.
If her daughter really likes someone, then this deception must be related to that person. Who knows, maybe she went to find that man.
Thinking about this, he felt both angry and annoyed.
Evelyn shook her head, "I don't know who it is either. Ruby has never introduced me to him, I just know that there is such a person."
Richard was truly panicked now. He didn't care about Ruby Kite's deception anymore. He just wanted to find the person.
"I'm going to find him." Richard said as he walked towards the exit of the party. At this moment, he had no intention of attending any party.
Evelyn didn't try to stop him. She also turned to find Aidan and Niall. At this moment, they had to find the person first, nothing else mattered.
"Niall." Evelyn looked at Niall, seeing that he was a little drunk, she was also worried.
"What's wrong, Evelyn?" Aidan immediately noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.
Evelyn didn't hide anything and told them about Ruby Kite's situation. Then she looked at Niall, "Niall, I remember asking you to help investigate the man around Ruby Kite before. Did you find any clues?"
Niall sobered up a bit from his drunken state. He thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "I couldn't find anything. The identity of the man is not simple. They have almost erased all their connections with Ruby Kite."
Evelyn frowned, "Aidan, send some people to help me find him. We can only use the most direct method now."
"Alright." Aidan nodded, knowing the importance of this matter to Ruby Kite and Evelyn.
"I'll go to the police station first. Anyway, let the police help us find him as well. More people mean more power." Evelyn said as she walked towards the exit of the party hall, her worries increasing.
