Chapter 55 I’ll Help You
Ruby’s face was unruffled, but the hand hanging down at her side was quietly clenched.
Nellie’s relic must be retrieved. She knew that the jade pendant, which had been passed down from the Grant family’s ancestors, was very important and could not fall into Rita’s hands.
“What do you want!?”
“As I said, I want to be Lennon’s wife and be the mistress of the Finn family. You just have to help me set things up, and when I marry Lennon, I will naturally give it to you.” Rita looked at Ruby’s commiserating look with great pleasure.
This feeling of stepping on Ruby underfoot is really good.
The original feeling of being out of control had finally disappeared, Ruby was still the same trash she had been back then, simply unbearable.
Ruby recalled Levi at this moment. He must have a reason to pretend to be crippled.
Lennon wanted to seize power and become the master of the Finn family, but it was not that simple.
The future may not be free from the liquidation of Levi.
Since Rita was so impatient to die, how could she not be satisfied?
“Yes, I can help you. And I guarantee that Lennon will marry you, but you’d better keep your promise and return my mother’s relics to me when the time comes!”
When Nellie died, Ruby was still too young to be able to keep those things she left behind.
Not long after Nellie’s death, something happened to the Grant family. Her grandfather died of a cerebral hemorrhage and her grandmother became seriously ill, and is now still lying in the ward, hanging on by medication.
She couldn’t die in peace seeing Spencer and the others receive the punishment they deserved.
Ruby looked at Rita’s smug look and the corners of her lips ticked inaudibly.
“Okay! As long as you do what you say, I definitely won’t lie to you!” Rita was inexplicably excited, and had even imagined how powerful she would be when she became the mistress of the Finn family.
“Of course.” Ruby smiled, gave Rita a deep look and got up to leave.
Rita touched her face inexplicably, always feeling that Ruby had a deeper meaning in that look.
Ruby went straight to her room, which hadn’t been moved much in the few days she hadn’t been back, and everything was the same as when she had left.
Ruby comfortably lay down on the bed, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Levi: “Dear Mr. Fiance, I’m home, why aren’t you at home? It’s the third day I can’t see you, I miss you a bit.”
After sending it out, Ruby took a look at it herself and felt disgusted, so she guessed Levi would be disgusted too.
She couldn’t imagine how Levi would look when he saw the text message and felt quite pity.
At this moment, in Shangcheng International, Levi sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice. He frowned slightly, took out his phone, saw Ruby sent a message, he subconsciously clicked on it. After reading the message, his expression was inexplicably serious.
This woman is flirting with him?
Heh.
Levi put the phone into his pocket and turned around to leave Shangcheng International.
Ruby slept comfortably inside her room, and when she got up, it hasn’t dark outside. She yawned and walked out of her room, and only when she came out, she saw Levi in his wheelchair, moving it by himself, just going up to the first floor.
When they met, Ruby looked natural and smiled at him, and then she walked over, put her hands on the wheelchair and pushed Levi around: “You are back so early? Have you eaten meal?”
“It’s not that you miss me?” Levi’s eyebrows were sparse, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Ruby, the corners of his mouth faintly tinged with a little smile.
The smile on Ruby’s face froze for a moment, but quickly returned to its natural state and she answered, “Yes, thank you for coming back to accompany me to dinner.”
Levi looked at Ruby, who had a wide smile on her face, her eyebrows arched and she looked as if she was really happy.
Only the eyes were plainly cold and devoid of any emotion.
Ruby’s disguise fooled others, but not him.
However, they were just cooperating, so Levi did not bother, but by a faint glance, he then withdrew his gaze.
Ruby dropped her hands on the wheelchair, and seeing that Levi was silent, she did not bother to make a fool of herself, pushing him, with a gentle and quiet smile on her face, it seemed as if the two were getting along very well.
The two of them went downstairs together, and Hattie looked at them with a slightly sarcastic smile.
A trash and a bumpkin was quite a match indeed.
Ruby is restless even though she is getting married, and she doesn’t know where she has gone these days.
She guesses she will be more restless after she gets married.
“Ruby, you’re back. Why do you look like you’ve lost weight? Where have you been these past few days? Did you not rest well?” The mockery under Hattie’s eyes narrowed and she got up to smile at Ruby with a smile.
Ruby looked at her and smiled cooperatively, “Mom, I didn’t go anywhere, I just went back to the Harold family. As you know, I’ve been out of the country for several years, and now that I’m about to get married, I’m more or less sad to leave my family.”
“That’s so, you are really filial.” Hattie pondered and smiled, not meaning to expose her.
Ruby said a few words to Hattie in a hypocritical manner, and the two had a big smile, which seemed to be a harmonious scene.
Levi looked at Ruby, who was hypocritical, and couldn’t help but silently look away.
After exchanging a few words with Hattie, Ruby slapped her forehead as if she had just remembered something, “Oh, my sister has been staying at the Finn’s for the past few days, and my parents said they missed her and asked her to come home for a visit.”
Rita happened to be smiling as she walked over, and when she heard Ruby’s words, her face suddenly darkened and she was about to snap.
“My dad is getting old, plus I’m getting married soon. He was supposed to have a birthday celebration next month, but now he wants to move it up and have it before I get married, so he wants my sister to go home and help out. I might have to go back for a few days too, Mom, you won’t blame me for not staying home to look after Levi, will you?”
With a look of regret and worry, Ruby looked cautiously at Hattie.
The moment Hattie heard this, she understood Spencer’s intentions. She was disgusted of the Harold family for doing this, but she did not want to stop it.
It was good that the Harold family made a fuss, and it was better to make a fool of themselves in front of the entire Sea City people, then Levi will also disgrace from it, in that way, he is less qualified to grab the succession of the Finn family with Lennon.
“Go ahead, there are servants in the house, it won’t be a problem.” Hattie graciously gave her permission.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“Thank you, Mom, you’re so kind to me!” Ruby rushed forward ingratiatingly and took Hattie’s arm.
She also deliberately lifted her arm to reveal the one bracelet she had given her earlier.
Hattie was angry when she saw the bracelet, it was not a valuable thing, but she couldn’t take it off once she put it on.
Now that Ruby was deliberately lifting her hand and showed it to her, how could she not see what Ruby meant?
It’s nothing more than trying to have something from her to Spencer’s birthday.
She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and still spoke with a smile, “Your father seems to be quite fond of calligraphy and painting, I just happened to have recently received a piece of writing from a famous painter, let the butler bring it to you.”
“Thank you, Mom!” Ruby smiled even more brightly.
