Marcus could hear the disappointment in Yvonne’s tone, so he immediately explained, “Yvonne, listen to me. It was because something suddenly came up for Ryan and I. You also knew that my grandpa came back from Kidon City after his treatment. He was already 80-years-old. My grandpa and Old Master Ford’s relationship had been very good. He said that it was a big thing for Old Master Ford to hold a family banquet, so Ryan and I must go in advance to help.” “We couldn’t go against the old man’s wishes.”“However, even though Ryan and I couldn’t personally pick you and Ruth up, we sent a car to pick you up. Call me immediately when you arrive outside of the Ford Residence. Ryan and I would go out to escort both of you.”Marcus’ tone was particularly apologetic. He was a very trustworthy person, but he did not expect that he would be called by his grandfather when he was supposed to leave.At that time, Marcus even explained to Old Master Shaw, “Grandpa, I couldn’t go to the Ford Resi
When Yvonne arrived downstairs, she then recalled something and said to Ruth, “Ruth, I want to give Sabrina a call.”Ruth immediately nodded, “Mm-hmm, this was so we could be a little safer, right?"Yvonne took out her phone and dialed Sabrina. On the other end, Sabrina picked up the call quickly. “Yvonne, let me guess. You must be sitting in Marcus’ car right now, right?”“Sabrina, tell me, where are you now?” asked Yvonne. Sabrina was speechless. She was sitting in Kingston’s car. There was only Aino next to her, and Sebastian was not there. When they were about to leave an hour ago, Sebastian was called by Old Master Ford who said that there was an urgent matter. Sebastian hurriedly arranged for Kingston to wait for the mother-daughter duo to pack up, and he drove to the residence by himself first. “Sabrina, you didn’t answer me. It clearly meant Sebastian was not by your side, right?” Yvonne seemed to have figured something out. Sabrina’s heart also sank a little.
The one who had appeared in front of Kingston, Sabrina and Aino, was Mindy. Mindy looked much prettier and full of spirit compared to four days ago. However, she still had dark circles under her eyes, and her face was still sunken like a ghost. The way she looked after putting on heavy makeup and an elegant floor-length dress made her look like a female ghost with deep schemes.“Sabrina Scott! Hope you have been well!” Mindy took the initiative to greet Sabrina.“Auntie, hello.” Before Sabrina could say anything, Aino spoke first. Mindy pretended to be polite, “I heard your name was Aino Ford.”“Your name is Aino Ford! I am Aino Scott, my last name is Scott, alright?” Aino blurted out without knowing that it was all a trick. Mindy tapped on her head. “Oh! Look at this memory of mine. Yes, your last name is Scott, Aino Scott.”Aino immediately stuck her tongue out at Mindy. “It’s so disgusting to have my name remembered by a hideous ghost!”The little kid even spoke like an a
“Mindy Mann! This was our director’s wife. You should speak more politely!” Kingston immediately said sternly. Mindy sneered, “Mrs. Director? Apart from the matter that Sabrina did not hold a wedding with the Ford Group’s director, if people have been married for even more than ten years, they could still get divorced. Who could guarantee that one can be Mrs. Director for a lifetime?”The statement made was already loaded with threats.Kingston was so angered that he put Aino down and wanted to give someone a beating. However, he was stopped by Sabrina.Sabrina looked at Mindy with a faint smile. “Mindy, what my daughter said was right. If a woman like you, who didn’t even know you were ugly, came to the banquet venue, you could only exist to be mocked by the public. Since you were not afraid of being mocked by the public, why should we care about you? I’m happy to have one more item for us to make fun of at the banquet.”“You!” Mindy was so angered that she could not breathe p
Mindy was ecstatic when she saw Ruth’s incomparably awkward expression. She almost wanted to clap her hands. Mindy was dying from being aggrieved these few days. Ruth had been very obedient to Mindy in the past and was as loyal as a dog. If Mindy told Ruth to go east, Ruth would never go west. If she asked Ruth to scold whoever, Ruth would certainly let that person have a miserable end. At that time, all the people that Mindy wanted to handle with crude means, she would let Ruth spearhead the attacks. It was through this way that the person who offended others would be Ruth, and Mindy could be the proud, cool, and reserved young lady. However, since Emma set up that devil’s banquet for Sabrina, Ruth no longer listened to Mindy’s commands. A useless dog! Of course, Mindy could no longer keep Ruth anymore, so she let her aunt and uncle mercilessly kick Ruth out. When Ruth cowered outside and froze for the whole night, Mindy knew about it, but she felt it was the punishmen
The more dramatic, juicy, and scandalous the gossip was, the happier they were.There were quite a lot of guests who came to attend this family banquet today.Most of the people who had dealt with the Ford Group and the Ford family had been invited. The meeting ceremony for the Ford family’s daughter-in-law even had more people compared to the wedding. These people gathered at the gate of the Ford Residence, and they all wanted to see what Sabrina would do. Sabrina and the two girls were on either side of her. The three of them stood side by side. They indeed were slightly unusual in the eyes of the people around them. The three of them were a little out of place with the rest of them.It was because each of the guests was dressed up as they felt honored to attend the family banquet at the Ford Residence. Therefore, Sabrina, Ruth, and Yvonne appeared to be rather simplistic in front of these people. However, it was precisely because of this simplicity that the three of them fo
Mindy said, “Master Ryan, I am Mindy Mann. Grandpa Shaw… did Grandpa Shaw not discuss… discuss with you? It was Grandpa Shaw who asked me to… be your female companion today.”Ruth was stunned for a moment at the same time. She was at a loss. She had initially never been to a place like this where rich people would come, and she did not have much confidence to begin with. However, if it were as Mindy said, she would be left alone today. If she had to stand here to be laughed at by the crowds, Ruth honestly did not know if she would end her life immediately. However, what is the situation now?Ryan was calling for her.He even called out in such a cheesy way.Ruth immediately blushed with shyness.She would never blush in the past. Now that she was keener on face-saving, she could also blush easily.Ruth bit her lips, “Master Ryan…”“Silly girl! Were you silly or not?” Ryan put his arm around Ruth’s shoulder. “You obviously had a boyfriend. You put such a rich, handsome, and
Mindy had never seen her cousin with such a firm attitude. Her cousin had always had the existence of a running dog in front of her. She did not have her own thoughts and opinions but could also be a very good dog at tearing people apart. However, her cousin was not willing to be the dog anymore. Moreover, Ruth would even turn around and bite her own cousin. Mindy looked at Ryan incomparably sheepishly.Ryan sneered wickedly, “Mindy Mann! Who did you think you were? A broken toy that was thrown away by Nigel, yet you still wanted to rely on me. Did you think I, Master Ryan, was a waste picker?”Mindy was speechless.The term “colorful” was not enough to describe the colors on her face right now. “Also! Mindy Mann, you remember this! Ruthie is my girlfriend! If you were someone who could understand the current situation, hurry up and get out of her house! You hung on to Ruthie’s parent's place, and you even insulted her right at her face. A normal person would not treat oth
