“What else do I know?” Ruth sneered and asked, “What other things have you and your parents, and I mean your biological parents, been hiding from me?”On the other end, Mindy said, “You… As long as you come to save me, I’ll tell you. I’ll definitely tell you.”“Alright! I will come to save you!” Ruth agreed. After she hung up the phone, Ruth looked at Marcus with a mixed expression. “I truly never expected things to be like this. I… My parents turned out to be…”“There is a good chance that you are my real cousin, and Mindy was just impersonating you," Marcus interrupted Ruth’s words and said.At this moment, Ryan, who was at the side, was surprised. “Hey! That’s just right! Marcus, our relationship will be even closer from now on.”Marcus called out warmly, “Ruth…”However, Ruth had not even the slightest hint of happiness on her face. She was unable to adapt to this sudden change.Especially with the fact that her birth parents had died. She suddenly felt that the world
Ruth only smiled with her lips pursed, but she did not respond further. The car soon drove to the outside of that shady hotel. It was the same early morning and the same place. This time, it was Ruth who saw Mindy’s pants lying in the rubbish bin outside of the small facade.Ruth did not sympathize with Mindy at all.After they had gotten out of the car, Ruth walked down with both Ryan and Marcus.At this time, the lady boss came over just in time. When she saw Ruth, the lady was startled. “Miss Mann…You… You all have personally come to my humble home.”It looked like the tables had turned. Just within three days, this girl before her eyes has gone from being a prisoner to a proper queen.Ruth did not even glance at that woman; she only asked, “Where’s Mindy?”“She is in... inside… Well, Miss Mann, I’m just asking. Are you… here to rescue her?” asked the woman with a long face.Ruth sneered, “What do you think?”The woman instantly said with a pleading tone, “Miss Mann,
Under the dim light, Mindy was lying on the bed with nothing on, and she was surrounded by no less than a dozen men who were holding her down.There was a line outside the room.They all looked like the kind men who were construction site laborers, and all of them were incomparably rough.Ruth gasped in shock when she saw the scene. This was drastically worse from the treatment she received three days ago. “Help… I beg of you all! Help me!” At this moment, Mindy has no dignity at all. Even if Marcus scolded her for being shameless just now and hated her to the bones, at this moment when he saw her, he could not help but feel compassionate toward her. “I, Marcus Shaw from South City’s Shaw family, am here. I’ll see if anyone still dares to touch her! Even if it is your entire construction site, I will destroy it, let alone you guys,” Marcus suddenly shouted angrily. When those men heard Marcus shouting like this, they all ran away in fear.Someone said, “I… I have already pa
“I know how to pay you back,” Ruth suddenly spoke up.“Go ahead, Miss Mann.” The lady boss was still very polite to Ruth. “The Mann family still has a fully detached house with its own courtyard in the countryside, and I think it should be worth two million no matter what. According to what Mindy’s parents once said, that small detached house was a property that originally belonged to Mindy, so you just need to take back that house of hers now and sell it for two million. That would be enough money to repay you, your interest, and also payment for the person whose head was smashed by me. It would be enough for all.”"Are you telling the truth?" the woman asked.“Absolutely the truth!”Mindy also asked Ruth in shock, "How do you know?"Mindy smiled contemptuously. "You don't know, do you? That's the difference between you not having a mom and dad. Although my parents are your real parents, I also enjoyed twenty years of fatherly and motherly love. They once told me about it when
Mr. Mann said with a long face, “The cause of your parents' death, your cousin Marcus also knew about it. They died because of a plane crash."Behind her, Marcus nodded and said, “Ruth, your parents’ death was indeed due to a plane crash.”“Then… Why did you want to swap our identities?" Ruth questioned.When she said that, she was already in tears. Actually, with her current state of mind, she did not even care about the Shaw family's glory and wealth, but she was just too disappointed about what her uncle and aunt had done.Seeing Ruth cry, her uncle had a guilty expression on his face. He touched Ruth’s shoulder and recounted the story from the beginning. Ruth’s biological father, Ronan Mann, and Mindy’s biological father, Anson Mann, were a pair of twin brothers, but the brothers had led different paths since young. Ronan had great academic achievements from a young age. When he was obtaining his postgraduate doctoral degree, he met his wife, Marcus’ aunt, who has the s
Moreover, when the two elderly in the family knew that their most valued eldest son and daughter-in-law who made them proud were involved in the plane crash, the couple, who was over 70 years old, suddenly died of heart disease due to heartache and anxiety.In a flash, the Mann family, which originally had eight family members across three generations, were left with only four members in an instant. Among them, there was also a seven-month-old baby who had lost her parents and grandparents. At that time, the Shaw family was still in Kidon City, and Marcus’ parents were also abroad. Therefore, the seven-month-old baby was temporarily taken care of by her aunt and uncle. However, at that time, it had just been a month since Anson’s wife had given birth to her child, and she had insufficient breast milk. Due to her selfishness, she could only feed her child first. After her child was well-fed, the remaining would be fed to the seven-month-old baby.As a result, when Ruth was one a
“Haha!” Hearing that, Ruth suddenly burst out laughing wildly. After laughing, Ruth said sarcastically, “Should I call you Dad and Mom now, or call you Uncle and Aunt, or even call you enemies?"Mr. Mann stuttered, “Ruth, we…We have also loved you before.”“Loved me?” Ruth asked rhetorically. “Was it out of love for me that you instilled in me from childhood that I was a maid and your real daughter, Mindy, was the queen?“Or telling me since young that I was Mindy’s hatchet man, and it did not matter if what she did was right or wrong, I had to spearhead the attack for her?“If you loved me, would you let me have all of Mindy’s hand-me-downs?“Also, it was only the ones she thought were ugly that were given to me to wear.“If you loved me, why didn’t you guys provide for me to go to school? Instead, you allowed me to grow wild like a shrew?“Are these your ways of loving me?"Mr. Mann said in embarrassment, “Ruth, your academic performance had been poor since young…”“My aca
”Isn’t it?“I'm asking you, isn’t it!"At this point, Ruth finally could not be calmed down anymore, as her emotions were close to breaking down. If Ryan did not hold her tightly in his arms, Ruth would have collapsed to the ground from crying. Her parents!The mom and dad that she had been calling for twenty years… How could she stand it emotionally?How could this be endured?How could she let go of it?However, could she not let go?In the past twenty years, everything they did to her was hurting her, and the harm was boundless. The reason she was still alive now was that she met Sabrina.It was Sabrina who saved her soul, made her realize her own shortcomings, and helped her have a new way of living.Otherwise, she, Ruth Mann, would have already been dead.Also, it definitely would have been an incomparably dirty death.She had cried and laughed, and Ruth had already made a decision in her heart. She said calmly, “From today onward, I, Ruth Mann, am through with you.
