Ruth suddenly shuddered in fear, and then she looked at Patricia. "Missus-Missus Poole…"She had already forgotten. When she suddenly saw Hana being bullied, she got so anxious that she forgot to maintain her image as a sensible and knowledgeable lady. When she heard her future mother-in-law scolding her like that, Ruth was so shocked that her phone almost fell out of her hands. After she hung up the call, she was at a loss when she looked at future mother-in-law and was so frightened that she did not know what to say. How great it would have been if Ryan was there at that moment. However, Ryan was not there. What should she do?Right at that moment, Zayn had arrived in his car. He hurriedly got down the car and came to Ruth and Hana, then asked with great concern, "Hana, what's the matter?"Hana did not say anything, but her tears just kept pouring down her cheeks."Ruth, what exactly is the matter? What is Hana crying about?" Zayn asked Ruth again."Zayn…just take good care of H
Ruth had already spoken in the most polite way she could. She felt that the way she spoke should more or less be acceptable for her future mother-in-law. However, when Ruth unintentionally glanced at her, she found that her future mother-in-law was not looking at her at all. She was busy looking down at the phone and chatting with someone. Ruth's heart could not help but skip a beat. She was feeling uneasy as she did not know what her future mother-in-law would say about her. However, she could not care about that at that moment. The most important thing at that time was to first settle Hana's matter.Hana woke up two hours later. The doctor said that there was nothing serious, but she had to pay more attention to resting and nutrition.At that moment, Zayn's parents were called over again by Zayn. Zayn's mother was more honest. "What I said is sincere. When I first saw Hana like that, I truly found it very hard to accept. However, I also bear no ill will. I was just thinking, what i
"Aunt Jane, not only did Uncle Alex hand over all the financial power to you, but he even gave you a bodyguard now. I suspect that he did not get you a bodyguard to protect you, it was actually to keep an eye on you so that you can't be snatched away by other men. Look at you now. You're getting prettier and prettier," Ruth immediately said with relief.Ruth always had no filter. It was only in the face of people whom she feared that her inferiority and helplessness would show. Ruth was not afraid of her Aunt Jane anymore, so she was able to speak whatever came to her mind.Jane glared at Ruth with annoyance. "You naughty girl! You can only be so spirited and shrewish in front of a few people like us who are so close to you! If it was someone you're unfamiliar with, you'd instantly become a coward!""Hahaha. Aunt Jane…who is your bodyguard then?" Ruth replied.Jane turned her head around and glanced at that woman who was moving things out of the car and called out, "Isadora?"At t
Jane was speechless. She had never met Holden, but he had heard Sabrina and Sebastian mentioning him. She had also witnessed Sebastian being depressed for a long time because he had lost his younger twin brother. However, never in a million years would Jane expect that Isadora would miss Holden so much. She did not know how to console Isadora.Isadora, on the other hand, told her the whole story. "My mother had been dead for more than a decade, so I no longer feel sad about it since a long time ago. As for my brother, I knew that he actually had never wanted to live. He just wanted to send me back to the country, let me get married and have children, and let me live the life of an ordinary woman. What my brother and I had was familial affection. I also knew that my brother would die sooner or later. I…I have never been in a relationship in my life, but I fell in love with Holden. Jane… Do you know what it's like to be in love? I want to carry his children. I want to spend my life with
Ruth glanced at Jane and both their eyes lit up. Isadora had no friends. If she could still find a friend in this world, then Jane certainly would be more than happy about it. Ruth also felt happy for Isadora. Although that was the first time Ruth had met Isadora, she had heard of her from Sabrina. Isadora was just like her. Both of them were uneducated and had suffered since childhood. Therefore, Ruth felt like cherishing Isadora as she felt that they had suffered the same fate."Who do you want to meet? It's all fine. It's alright. I am very familiar with South City. If you want to meet an old friend, I'll take you there!" Ruth asked in surprise."Yes, Isadora, Ruth can take you to whoever you want to meet.""Yes, I also have a friend named Yvonne Yates. That girl is particularly enthusiastic and she is also a chatterbox. When the time comes, we'll come together and take you to meet your friend. We'll then bring your friend along with us. The four of us can even gather to play c
"She is actually a very honest and straightforward person. She is just a silly girl.'Ruth laughed.Isadora was laughing and that was a rare sight for Jane. Jane was carrying Ricky while Sabrina was carrying Louie. Both of them looked at each other and smiled.Right at that moment, another little child came running out of the car. The little child, Aino, was carrying a huge unicorn in her arms, and she was puffing hard from tiredness. "Gosh, I said I won't carry this unicorn, but my mom insisted on me carrying it. Please! I am already a big girl going to first grade, alright? I don't want to play with this unicorn anymore!"The unicorn that Aino was carrying was as tall as her. Therefore, when she walked while carrying it, she could not see what was in front of her and she also did not see Ruth and Isadora."Aino, since you don't like this unicorn toy anymore, then why are you still carrying it?" Jane asked Aino with a mocking tone.Aino sighed. "It's all for the sake of my brot
Minerva Payne? Everyone was stunned. None of them expected that the person Isadora was looking for was Minerva."What are you...looking for Minerva for, Isadora?" Jane knew what was on Isadora's mind. She was unable to forget Holden.Isadora hung her head. "I had made a trip abroad earlier on and I had brought back some of Holden's belongings. Holden had saved a sum of money for Minerva in his account abroad. He said that was for Minerva's college. He…didn't want Minerva to use anybody else's money for her college tuition."Both Jane and Sabrina took a look at each other and they both felt incredibly emotional. Although Isadora seemed vicious and cold on the surface, she was actually rather gentle and kind in her heart. At the very least, she was not a girl who would be tempted by money.Jane smiled. "Well, then go ahead, Isadora. You and Minerva can also hang out more often in the future."Perhaps both of them could huddle together for warmth this way. Isadora had lost a lover wh
"I have a trauma.""What's wrong?" Ruth asked."It's all because of…Old Master Shaw," said Yvonne with a sigh.Ruth's tone immediately became agitated. "Yvonne, don't tell that the d*mned old man is still very forceful and cares about the status and prestige of families! Could it be that he wanted to object to the marriage of you and my cousin?"Yvonne shook her head. "That's not the case. Old Master Shaw is more honest now. He is also much older now. He doesn't intervene with anything anymore. I often see him running to Gloria's house to sneak a peek at her. In fact, every time I went to the Shaw family's house, the old man would ask me, 'How is Sabrina? How is Aino? Have they forgiven me now?' and so on. I will sometimes find him quite pitiful. However…"Speaking of that, Yvonne sighed. "Every time I think about how cruel he could treat his own daughter, and how he could help an outsider to viciously harm her own granddaughter and almost have her killed, I just….when I see Old M
