Along the way, Diana told Connor a lot about Ruby.
According to Diana’s understanding, Ruby was from the Yandell Family.
Moreover, her status in the Yandell Family was not low. She was a favorable competitor for the future head of the Yandell Family.
Ruby had been working so hard to develop this pill refining project so that she would have a better chance of competing for the position of family head in the future.
If Ruby couldn’t become the head of the Yandell Family in the future, then her final fate would be to marry a man she didn’t like because only then could she satisfy the needs of the Yandell Family.
Ruby wanted to escape this fate. Therefore, she had been working very hard since she was young. She wanted to prove that she was not inferior to any man in the Yandell Family.
Ruby had displayed an astonishing talent for business since she was very young.
In addition, the current head of the Yandell Family was also very fond of Ruby. Therefore, the probability of Ruby becoming the family head in the future was very high.
Unfortunately, Ruby was only a woman.
If a woman wanted to become the head of the Yandell Family, she had to work harder than the other heirs.
The middle-aged man with Ruby was called Ted Carlson and was very powerful.
But as for Ted’s background, Connor wasn’t evident, and Diana didn’t investigate.
With Timothy’s guidance, the convoy drove out of Medicine Kings’ Valley and headed toward the highway outside the Valley.
Diana played with her phone while Connor looked at the scenery outside the car window.
Medicine Kings’ Valley was located in a relatively remote area, so the scenery on the road was beautiful.
They drove for almost half an hour when Carlos suddenly stopped the car.
“Have we arrived?” Connor could not help but ask Carlos after he stopped the car.
“That can’t be…” Carlos shook his head slightly and continued, “I talked to Timothy yesterday. The Precipice Cave we’re going to isn’t in Davenport. It’ll take at least a day to get there by car, so we can’t have arrived so quickly…”
“Did something happen to the car in front?” Connor muttered softly, then pushed open the door and exited the car.
After getting out of the car, Connor saw several sports cars parked on the highway.
Next to the sports car, there were a few well-dressed men who were chatting with Ruby.
“What are these people doing?” Connor was stunned before he turned and asked Diana.
“These people are all rich heirs near Medicine Kings’ Valley. They must have received news that Ruby would pass by, so they waited for her here…” Diana explained softly.
“I didn’t expect Ruby to be so popular. She has suitors in such a place…” Connor could not help but sigh softly.
“Of course! Ruby’s family is wealthy, and she’s so beautiful. She’s very likely to inherit the position of the family head in the future. Many people have eyes on Ruby, but Ruby has never been in a relationship. She puts all her energy into her business. Right now, Ruby has seven or eight companies, some already listed on the stock market…” Diana looked at Connor and said slowly.
Hearing that, Connor’s eyes flashed with a trace of helplessness.
At this moment, Connor finally realized how big the gap between him and Ruby was.
Ruby’s age was similar to Connor’s, but compared to Connor’s achievements, Ruby was so far ahead.
Meanwhile.
When Ruby faced those rich kids, she was extremely arrogant. She crossed her arms and looked extremely cold, like a queen looking down on her subjects.
Ruby wasn’t interested in these rich kids, so she responded to them casually.
However, those rich kids weren’t angered by Ruby’s arrogance. On the contrary, they became even more enthusiastic. Each of them seemed excited. In their eyes, it was already their honor that Ruby would talk to them. They didn’t care about her attitude.
Ruby was already used to having these people fawning over her.
After all, Ruby had seen many suitors like him since she was young.
Ruby was a brilliant woman. When facing such suitors, she would not reject them directly. Instead, she would choose to get along with them as friends.
If that was the case, she could use these people eventually.
Among this group of wealthy heirs, the one with the highest status was the son of a deputy mayor named Westley Holland.
Westley walked up to Ruby and asked with a smile, “Ms. Yandell, where are you going this time?”
“We are going to the Precipice Cave…” Ruby didn’t hide anything and answered directly.
When Westley and the others heard Ruby’s words, they were stunned and in disbelief.
They had never expected Ruby to go to a dangerous place like the Precipice Cave.
“Ms. Yandell, the Precipice Cave is extremely dangerous. I suggest that you do not go there. Who knows how many people have died there during these few years…” Westley hesitated for a moment before reminding Ruby.
“It’s all right. I’m going there because it’s dangerous…” Ruby replied calmly. She looked at her phone and said softly, “Mr. Holland, it’s getting late. We have to set off, so I’ll take my leave first…”
“Ms. Yandell, do you know the exact location of the Precipice Cave?” Westley looked at Ruby and asked.
“Nope…” Ruby shook her head lightly, then looked at Timothy and said, “But this person knows where the Precipice Cave is!”
“Do you know where the Precipice Cave is?” Theo wasn’t as polite to Timothy as he was to Ruby. So he asked Timothy coldly.
“Yeap, I’m in charge of leading the way…”
Timothy knew Westley was the deputy mayor’s son and quickly replied respectfully.
“Where is the Precipice Cave? If it’s on the way, I can accompany you there…”
Westley was ready to risk his life accompanying Ruby to the Precipice Cave to win Ruby’s heart.
After Connor heard Westley’s offer, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then, he sighed internally. ‘I didn’t expect Westley to be so desperate. To win Ruby’s heart, he would even give up his life. He knows the Precipice Cave is extremely dangerous, but he still wants to follow!’
