What's with Ruby, talking smack about Hertha?

The woman he adored like a precious gemstone, he wouldn't let anyone cast a shadow over her!

Hertha's designs were splendid. He went all out for Ethan's company, snapping up all of Hertha's designs. And the final products? He carried them in his pocket, always close to his heart!

And here was this woman, Ruby, daring to say that Hertha's three necklaces couldn't hold a candle to someone else's single piece!

"Hertha, a nobody? Go do your homework. She's way more famous than that so-called W!"

Alaric spat out angrily.

Ruby, already on her knees before Alaric, had no chance to fight back. Her face quickly turned the color of liver as she seemed to be in immense pain.

Ethan and Richard, sensing things getting out of hand, knew Alaric was seriously pissed.

Richard rushed to pull Alaric away, trying to calm him down, "Alaric, man, don't lose it. We can talk this out."
