Chapter 283 Cannot Harm Her
Dermot also worried that the agreed upon deal might change and advised, "If you accept the factory, then let go of the Phoebe situation, but it doesn't mean you can't protect Ruby in the future."
In his view, these were completely different matters.
No one would make this kind of promise, not even he would. So, he knew that Craig wouldn't agree.
Evelyn thought about it and agreed.
What mattered most was obtaining the present benefits. It was better to strengthen oneself and protect Ruby better, rather than hoping Craig would keep his promise.
"Alright then, let's trade the factory for Phoebe's freedom," Evelyn nodded, and the deal was settled.
Because she was afraid of Craig reneging, Evelyn asked him to draft the documents immediately. Only after successfully signing them did she allow Craig to take Phoebe away.
Dermot accompanied Craig to the hospital entrance and patted his shoulder. "It's just a factory, don't take it to heart."
"Don't worry, I won't backstab Evelyn behind her back," although he really wanted to.
"This whole thing was Phoebe's fault from the beginning, you should really manage her well, next time we won't be so lucky," Dermot said to him.
Craig nodded, his gaze becoming more intense, but quickly said, "But when exactly are you going to handle Evelyn? I can't just keep accommodating her while you keep pursuing her, right?"
"Well, if you don't like her, I can find someone better for you."
As long as Dermot said he didn't like Evelyn, he had to return the frustration he had endured these days.
However, Dermot shook his head at him, helplessly saying, "I'm afraid that won't work. I don't like anyone else except her."
Craig shook his head, "You're hopeless."
"What about you? Why do you keep clinging to Ruby when you don't even like her?" Dermot worried that based on the current situation between Evelyn and Craig, things would eventually become chaotic because of Ruby.
On one side was his good friend, on the other was the person he liked, he was truly in a dilemma.
Craig sneered, disdainfully saying, "I've never been dumped by a woman all my life. How could I swallow this anger?"
"Just that?" Dermot didn't believe it.
"Just that," Craig nodded firmly.
Dermot helplessly shook his head, "Do as you wish, anyway, you can't lay a hand on Evelyn, or we won't be friends anymore."
"Fine, I won't touch her," Craig agreed.
Watching Craig leave, Dermot turned and went back to the hospital. At this moment, Evelyn had just returned after seeing Ruby off. Seeing Dermot, she still thanked him.
"Don't thank me, actually I didn't really help at all," Dermot felt a bit guilty, "Craig and I have known each other for many years, he is one of the few friends I have."
"I know, that's why I'm thanking you." Thank you for not siding with Craig just now.
She understood Dermot, after all, she herself had this kind of relationship with Ruby. If it were her, she might not have been able to reach the level of Dermot.
"If you're worried about Ruby, maybe you should let her go into hiding, so that Craig won't find her," Dermot understood Craig's personality. If he said he won't let go, then he really doesn't plan to give up.
Evelyn helplessly shook her head, "She won't leave."
Not to mention that Ruby's personality was not the type to hide when things happen, and her parents were still in Moris City. If she left, what would happen to them? Who knows if Craig would do something to them?
"On Craig's side, I'll try to persuade him, and on Ruby's side, you should also advise her to be careful, mainly not to deliberately provoke him," Dermot was somewhat worried. Craig had a personality of accepting softness but rejecting harshness, he really feared that Ruby would provoke him and lead to some unfavorable consequences.
