Enchanted By His Charm

Chapter 493 493: A Fake Marriage Between Joseph And Ruby

Henry wanted to say something but could not say it. He could never find a better way to get along with Irish. When he saw her leaving, he was anxious.

Joseph took a calm glance at the situation and looked at her with slight helplessness. So he stood up and walked to her, pressing her down on the sofa, and said in her ear, "Wait."

Irish raised her head in a puzzle. Wait? What was he waiting for?

Ruby saw that and received a hint from Joseph, licking her lips and saying, "You don't have to hurry to leave. I think you should be very interested in the next thing."

Irish frowned but saw Joseph nod to her and sit down.

She didn't think she was interested in Lake's affairs, but since Joseph had said so, she could sit for a few more minutes.

This time, Joseph sat in the seat Lilith originally occupied next to Irish, it made Irish's heart much calmer.

Holding a cup, Ruby took a deep breath and looked at everyone, "In fact, I have something to announce today. To be exact, I should have something to say with Joseph."

Henry looked to Ruby and doubtfully stared at Joseph, vaguely able to guess the situation.

Shirley looked nervously at Ruby.

Roy still hung his head lazily and made no sound.

"As it will be announced tomorrow morning, I will explain it to you now." Ruby looked at Joseph and continued, "Joseph and I are going to divorce."

As soon as her voice fell, Shirley was head howling like a goose waiting to be slaughtered. "Ruby, you can't do that. You are taken advantage of by the coquette, you..."

"In fact, Joseph and I were not married at first!" Ruby gnawed her teeth and unfolded the truth about their marriage.

"What?" This time, Henry's astonishing voice came in.

Shirley stopped abruptly and looked at Henry.

Roy, who had been lowering his head, froze, and looked up at Ruby and Joseph. The speechless person was Irish.

All along, she had not dared to ask for Joseph when he got divorced, and there were many times she also hated the fact that she was like a kept woman, depressed.

Now she understood everything. He was single, he was clearly her man. So why had he been Ruby's husband earlier?

She also knew how difficult Joseph had been in this pseudo-marital relationship and how he was thinking about it. Still, she knew very well that Ruby, who had talked about her embarrassment, would not easily divorce so quickly.

Irish had never hoped for more, even though she had planned to be a kept lover of Joseph all her life, even if she could no longer be fair and upright, she would be willing to do so because the other party was Joseph, so it was worth her doing that.

But that day, Ruby not only came up with a divorce announcement but also told the truth about their pseudo-marriage. Was the sun coming out from the west?

She was subconsciously looking at Joseph, whose side face had no expression, so she could not guess his thoughts.

And when Ruby finished, she looked at Joseph, but she thought utterly different from Irish. She did not want to see through Joseph's mind, and her memory was fixed on a certain day at a particular hour.

She should not forget that afternoon, the sun shining horribly, and Joseph was even cold fearfully.

He made only one request to her to publicly explain their false marriage.

She couldn't say it at that time, for she feared that once they were said to be married falsely, the outside world would speculate and once the real reason for her fake marriage was exposed, what would happen? She has to keep one last road all the time.

But Joseph changed his original intention and said to her, "Ruby, I don't want to put pressure on you with the future of Emery. You can decide how you do."

At that moment, she was staring at Joseph like seeing a stranger. He was so indifferent, but the words were threatening. She knew it. Emery would be in trouble if she didn't agree with his request.

Ruby did not understand why Joseph did so heartlessly.

Until Joseph patiently explained to her, "Friendship and rights are different. Before I can guarantee your wife's future, I must protect my lover's carefreeness."

So Ruby understood that Joseph did everything, just wanting to let Irish be in a better position and be welcomed by the public.

She wasn't upset because she had no leverage to threaten Joseph. Instead, her and Emery's future was held in the hands of this man.

She finally realized that Joseph was always a businessman. What a businessman cared about most was his interests. He did not keep secrets for her without pay, nor did he mercifully arrange the future for her and Emery. He was silent for so long. Finally, after waiting so long, he was just looking for the best opportunity to hold all the chips in his hands and then gave her a path that she could not walk, but she could only choose, and she had to go on it as he asked.

Ruby did not blame Joseph because it was a false marriage of interest at the very beginning. Joseph was worth being made a friend, but she had enough courage and ability to change his heart. Finally, she admitted that his cleverness had defeated her.

She tried to bargain with him, but he smiled so lightly and did not say a word.

She knew that if he went on, he might not have the patience to make her a good offer.

As a result, Ruby changed her mind that night and spoke publicly about the fake marriage according to Joseph's intention. The only thing she could beg for was that Joseph would keep her secret affair with Emery.

After all, Henry was the first person who had undergone the storm. His brow looked like two tight towers, and he questioned, "Your marriage is fake? The wedding was held. How come you said it was a fake marriage?"

"The wedding was just a formality, and we were both not registered for marriage." Ruby sighed heavily.

Henry didn't believe this, turning his head and looking at Joseph.

Joseph nodded slightly, agreeing with what Ruby had said.

Henry was startled entirely, and after a long time, he suddenly lost his temper, "Nonsense!" His big hand pounded that desk, and the water in the coffee cup all splashed out. "Why?"
