The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Someone, must be talking about Alaric!

Hertha had finally made up her mind to stop caring about Alaric and didn't want to hear anything about him anymore.

Before Richard could continue, Hertha promptly cut him off: "Stop right there! You can leave; I don't want to hear a single word about Mr. Alaric!"

Richard said, "You really got it wrong last night. Alaric went to the Sapphire Skyline just to have drinks with us..."

"Sapphire Skyline?" Upon hearing the name, Hertha let out a mocking laugh, "Ha, and let me guess, was his date named Ruby?"

"Just listen to me..."

"Was her name Ruby?" Hertha didn't let him say anything more, her gaze firm.

Richard nodded: "Yes, but..."

"Huh..." Hertha didn't wait for Richard to continue, laughing again, "That's his old flame, huh? So much for his so-called loyalty, it was all about her."
