Chapter 527
After confirming the formula was legitimate, Ruby handed it back to Troy, her face lighting up with a seductive smile. She said, "So this is one of Rhodes Corporation Pharmaceutical Division's legendary formulas? I heard they're worth more than gold, but honestly, it’s not as impressive as I imagined. Compared to Amberpeak Corporation’s products, well, let’s just say it falls short."
Troy, now completely naked and clutching Ruby’s feet, laughed nervously, too infatuated to notice her subtle jab. “Of course, baby, you’re right. Rhodes Corporation’s products are decent in Jayrodale, but Amberpeak Corporation sets the industry standard. We could never compare."
Ruby’s lips curved into a silent sneer, thinking, "This fool has no idea I’ve already memorized the formula."
With a practiced move, she shifted her body slightly, dodging Troy’s slobbering kisses. Ruby was a master of the game, seasoned in dealing with men like him. She knew better than to let him have everything at once.
Keeping him hungry and desperate was key – teasing him just enough to drive him wild before offering a taste. She let him indulge only when he was at his breaking point, ensuring she remained in complete control.
“Don’t pull away, baby!” Troy panted, his face red and sweaty. “Come here and let me take good care of you!”
Ruby giggled as she loosened her nearly transparent nightgown, revealing just enough to make Troy’s breath hitch. "No way. You’ll have to catch me first. If you do, you can have me… however you want."
Troy swallowed hard, his excitement boiling over. “And if I can’t catch you?”
Ruby covered her mouth with a mock pout. “Then you won’t get to touch me, silly.”
Troy growled like a starved animal. “Oh, I’m catching you, alright. And when I do, I’ll devour you completely – there won’t be a scrap of you left!”
Ruby led him on a wild chase, dodging and teasing as Troy stumbled after her like a dog chasing a treat. When she finally sensed he was completely exhausted, she stopped resisting, lying back with her arms and legs outstretched, letting Troy pounce on her in a frenzy.
He moved like a man deprived of water in a desert, drenched in sweat, his tongue hanging out as he succumbed to his base instincts. Ruby’s seductive demeanor faded entirely, her face growing cold with disdain and disgust. She found his desperate, animalistic behavior repulsive, but she endured it with calculated patience.
As Troy reached his limit, barely able to breathe, Ruby discreetly grabbed her phone and snapped pictures of the formula while he was too preoccupied to notice. Though she had already committed it to memory, having photographic evidence felt like an added layer of security. After all, Aspen would demand hard proof, and Ruby did not dare risk disappointing her.
Aspen was someone who inspired genuine fear in Ruby – a rare feeling for someone as cunning and shameless as herself.
Still, Ruby reassured herself that risk was part of the game, and the rewards would be worth it. She imagined the destruction of the Rhodes family, watching Lauren lose her status and become a disgraced, humiliated outcast. When it was all over, Ruby planned to disappear with her profits, starting fresh in another city, free from the chains of her past.
Meanwhile, Troy, already drenched in sweat and panting like a dying beast, lasted no more than two minutes. His red face contorted in a mix of pain and ecstasy as he collapsed, utterly spent.
Ruby held back a wave of nausea as she glanced at his pathetic state. How revolting, she thought. Troy, who had a strict, domineering wife at home, had probably gone years without indulging his desires. It only took a spark from Ruby to turn him into a slavering, obedient lapdog.
Troy let out a guttural groan, his face a grotesque mixture of suffering and pleasure. Ruby knew this was his final moment of “glory” before he succumbed to exhaustion, looking as pitiful as ever.
