How did she becMarion's stand-in and end up with Ben? “Ruby, are you at home?” “Jade, what happened last night? | asked you to arrange the drinks and desserts. Why did | wake up next to Ben this morning?” Ruby's hysterical shout startled Jade, and she almost dropped her phone. “This matter has nothing to do with me, Ruby. But | know who did it...
“Who?” “Lucas.” Hearing that name, Ruby froze. “How could it be him! Besides you, no one else knows about this!” “Last night, Marion did not touch the drinks and desserts we specially prepared for her at all.” Jade paused.
“Martin was almost inseparable from Marion. Lucas probably already knew about our plan so he...” Jade did not want to admit the fact, but besides Lucas, who else could handle things so discreetly? Moreover, Martin was interesting. He stuck to Marion's side the whole time, which was already suspicious.

Jade had no choice but to end the call. Whether Ruby believed it or not, Jade believed it herself. She could not afford to offend Lucas and did not dare to try.
