Chapter 1248
“Miss Liamson, the business matters I am about to discuss with Mr. Husson are strictly confidential.
Please understand that you cannot be present for confidentiality purposes,” Elijah said solemnly.
Sophie hesitated after hearing this. She nodded slowly and said softly, “Okay, then. I’ll leave you both.”
All the bodyguards opened the door of another car and let Sophic in. What door did he close, look out
the window, and watch Ren and Elijah get into the car in front. of her.
It was only after Ren was inside the car that he let out a sigh of tiredness. Elijah couldn’t help it. he
laughed as he asked, “Did Mrs. Husson give you a hard time, sir?”
Ren sighed and pinched the space between his eyebrows. “I’m afraid this will be a recurring

true.

out furiously after they were out of earshot, “What are you doing, Ruka?”
“Mom, do I have to remind you that you tried to set a trap for me with someone without my
permission?” Ruka joked and smiled as he stripped himself of his unreasonable behavior from the
restaurant.
Claire was angry with her daughter. “You embarrassed us in front of those people! Did you notice how
furious Levi’s parents were while you gave orders to Levi all night?”
“Don’t be angry, Mom. What makes you think I won’t be able to find a good husband while I’m still
young? Also, I want to marry someone I truly love, not out of desperation,” Ruka convinced her. Claire
winding up her arm.
