?Chapter 1299:


    “I’m not paying for your treatment,” she snapped at Alec. “You’ve got some savings, use them. If you don’t, I’ll stop looking after you altogether.”


    Ruby’s grip mped tightly around Alec’s wrist as she forced his hand toward the phone to enter the unlock code.


    Rage burned in Alec’s chest. His savings were barely enough to get by, and the thought of handing them over to Ruby was uneptable. He knew she’d only make his life harder if she got her hands on his money.


    Ruby’s eyes narrowed with venom. “So, you’re really not going to give me the money? Fine, starve to death then. Tell me, who else in this world would even bother with you anymore except me? You’ve been lying here for a whole day and night without a bite. I bet you’re about ready to chew your own arm off now.”


    Since Ruby stormed out just before noon the day before, no one had bothered to check on Alec. Hunger gnawed at him relentlessly, and he was sitting in his own waste. The foul smell made his stomach turn.


    Not one of his children had shown their face. He’d called them again and again, but no one answered. Rosie had also ignored his calls.


    It finally hit him. Family couldn’t be trusted, and neither could the children he’d once counted on.


    Ruby stood over his bed with her arms folded, staring down at him. She might have been cold and sharp-tongued, but at least she’d shown up.


    “I’ll give the money to you…” Alec’s voice cracked as he gave in. If he didn’t do this, he’d starve, and it was only a matter of hours before the hospital kicked him out for not paying his bills.


    “That’s what I thought. Now listen—hand over everyst cent, and sign the house over to me. If you don’t, I’m done taking care of you,” Ruby said.


    Tears spilled down Alec’s face, soaking his pillow. He’d spent his whole life plotting and wing for advantage, only to end up in this pathetic state. Fortunately, Ruby cleaned up his mess, changed his bedding, and put him in a diaper.

    When Ruby opened Alec’s ount and saw a million sitting there, her temper red.


    So, he’d been hiding money from her. And not just pocket change, real money. She wasn’t about to let him keep a dime now.


    Without wasting another second, she transferred everyst cent into her own ount and shoved the phone at Alec for facial recognition.


    Alec opened his mouth to object, his words slurred. But Ruby knew what he was trying to say. He didn’t want her to take all his money.


    “All of your money is mine, you hear me? Every cent. If you don’t give it to me, you might as well get ready to die. No one’s going to feed you. No one’s going to clean you up,” Ruby said with venom, shoving the phone in his face to catch the scan.


    Alec tried twisting his head to the side, refusing to meet the camera, but the fight drained out of him. In the end, he allowed the transfer.


    Just like that, over a million was gone from his ount and sittingfortably in Ruby’s, leaving him stripped of everything.


    Ruby, satisfied with the extra money in her ount, was now in a good mood. She ordered the dish Alec loved most and took her time feeding it to him. Even as he chewed, Alec’s mind was restless. A gnawing fear told him Ruby would take the money and vanish, leaving him to wait for his death.
