Immediately, Ruby Murphy dialed Melody Sheffield's number.
She had secretly noted the number from Edmund Wilson's phone.
"Give Ryan back to me, I promise you, I'll take Ryan far away, never to return to Capital City, and I'll never let him come back here."
Ruby was straightforward; Edmund Wilson could no longer be relied upon, and Ryan was her only support. If she lost her son, she truly didn't know how to live at forty.
"Do you take me for a fool? Since you've chosen to be a mistress and have an illegitimate child, it shows that you have ambition. Can someone with ambition willingly give up everything they've painstakingly built?" Melody Sheffield sneered. "I tell you, this matter isn't so easily resolved!"
"If you're angry, direct it at me, don't hurt my son."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Melody said, "Don't call again in the future, hearing your voice only makes me angrier."
