Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Being Denied (3) Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Being Denied (3) This year’s New Year’s Eve, Carolline Ruiz spent a relatively comfortable time at Ruiz Family’s compound. Jasmine Ruiz didn’t come back, saying she went to Lopez Family’s place in Beijing to celebrate the New Year and could only return home on the fifth day of the new year.

Avie Ruiz stayed with Carolline Ruiz all the time. Considering the good relationship between Carolline Ruiz and Avie Ruiz in daily life, the old master didn’t order others to boss Avie Ruiz around. For Ruiz Family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, they didn’t rely on servants; everyone in the family cooked. As long as one was a member of the Ruiz Family, they needed to contribute to the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Avie Ruiz sat next to Carolline Ruiz, helping to prepare the vegetables. Not wanting to lose face for her parents by doing nothing, she contributed to the meal. Her father, Blake Ruiz, didn’t do as well in business as his second brother, Ryan Ruiz, and wasn’t as well-known as his big brother, Henry Ruiz. Therefore, her mother Natalie Parton’s position in the Ruiz Family was somewhat lower, which also made Avie Ruiz less arrogant.

She behaved well in front of her grandfather, unlike Carolline Ruiz, who could still talk back to him when unhappy. Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law wouldn’t say anything about Carolline Ruiz either.

She really envied Carolline Ruiz, yet she didn’t harbor any hatred. Carolline Ruiz was also good to her, and Avie Ruiz could only confide in her.

In their generation, Henry Ruiz had only Carolline, Ryan Ruiz had two sons and a daughter, and they were boy-girl twins, with her and Jeffrey Ruiz. Three daughters and three sons were just right, with many people envious of their family.

Back when Grandma Ruiz was still around, she treated the six children fairly. However, Grandpa had his favorites. Since Grandma passed away, every time Avie Ruiz returned to the Ruiz Family’s house, she seldom took the initiative to speak.

“Avie, my mom asked you to help her prepare the seasoning for cooking fish.” Raymond Ruiz, Carolline Ruiz’s older cousin, was originally watching TV and suddenly walked over to them.

“Oh, Carolline, I’ll be right back.” Avie Ruiz immediately stood up and headed for the kitchen.

Raymond Ruiz found a dry towel to wipe his hands. He cooked a simple dish today, steaming an egg custard. He had just helped wash vegetables in the courtyard and brought them into the kitchen. Glancing at Carolline Ruiz, he came over.

After wiping his hands, Raymond Ruiz took the seat Avie Ruiz was sitting on earlier. Carolline raised her eyebrows, “Big Brother, what’s up?”

“Well, there’s a small favor I want to ask. You helped Bryan Hawkins stand up before, right? I’ve tried to set up a few meetings with him to discuss cooperation, but he has always been busy. Carolline, can you help Big Brother arrange a meeting?”

Raymond Ruiz had once been very proud too, but now Bryan Hawkins was doing better and better, and everyone wanted to cooperate with him. Naturally, Raymond Ruiz also thought of this. At the time, he didn’t expect to rely on Henry’s family, but he had been trying for almost three months to set up a meeting with Xavier Estrada before the end of the year, and none of his calls got through.

Seeing Carolline Ruiz now, he remembered that Bryan Hawkins seemed to have a good relationship with Henry’s family. It was a little difficult to approach Henry’s side, but Carolline Ruiz was easier to talk to. So, he went to Carolline Ruiz.

“I’ll give it a try for you, but I can’t guarantee anything.” Carolline Ruiz agreed.

After Bryan Hawkins left yesterday, they hadn’t been in touch for half a day. Carolline sent him a text message wishing him a Happy New Year in the morning, but Bryan didn’t reply after a long wait. She felt bad about sending more messages continuously.

She didn’t know how things were going for Bryan Hawkins either. A person like him probably hadn’t experienced such humiliation before, but her mother was really capable of it.

Thinking about it, she felt wronged for him, but she couldn’t help him either. Her heart was also uncomfortable.
