Chapter 65
Chapter 65 I Can’t Go to Jail
Ruth and Holly were ignominiously expelled from Summer Estate.
The surveillance footage from the storage room was retrieved, clearly capturing Holly sneaking in and out multiple times, taking numerous items.
Kate had them sign IOUS and pressured Ruth and Holly to return everything they took intact or compensate in cash.
The total amounted to 540 thousand!
They had a week to return the items or the cash. Otherwise, all the luxury items taken from Summer Estate would need to be returned.
Before, Ruth could have returned all those luxury items, but now…
She had already sold off most of them to cover Simon’s company losses!
Kate claimed she was showing leniency due to their long–standing friendship by setting this deadline. If they managed to come up with the money within seven days, she might drop the matter. If not, she would call the police.
Thinking of Kate’s distant and cold attitude from her position of power, Ruth wanted nothing more than to lash out at her!
She felt like she had been tricked.
It’s probably all Kate’s plot! Since when did that b*tch become that smart? I can’t believe she played me!
Ruth seethed with anger, glaring fiercely at Holly and accusing. “It’s all your fault! Why did you have to be greedy and take her things? She must have set us up!”
Holly was enraged by her daughter’s harsh accusation. “You said Kate was dumb and that she didn’t care about the things Eric gave her! How was I supposed to know not to take them? Now that we’re in trouble, you want to blame everything on me?”
Ruth stared coldly at Holly, her eyes filled with determination.
540 thousand! Where on earth can I find that kind of money now?
If I can’t come up with the money, I’ll have to go to jail, and I can’t let that happen!
Ruth’s thoughts raced urgently. She couldn’t help but grasp Holly’s hand and whisper urgently, “Mom, what if we get a loan? We have to cover this gap at Kate’s place first, no matter what.”
Holly was momentarily stunned, as she was still processing. Ruth persisted. “Let’s stabilise things with Kate first. Do you want that b*tch to send us to jail?”

Ruth grinned coldly, moistened her lips, and, in a persuasive tone, said to Holly. “Listen to me, Mom. If we do this…. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kate wasn’t interested in how Ruth and Holly planned to cover their tracks.
She only knew that meddling with her belongings would have consequences.
“Madam, our performance just now was quite convincing, right?”
The group of servants and guards gathered around, smiling as if seeking approval from Kate.
You all did well.”
Kate smiled warmly. After ejecting Holly and Ruth, the icy demeanour on her face melted away.
Standing nearby, George observed Kate’s now approachable demeanour with a mixed expression.
He found it increasingly hard to read this young woman. Which of these personas is the real Madam? But today, she deliberately tricked Ruth and Holly, seizing the opportunity to kick them out of Summer Estate–it’s quite impressive. And decisive.
Just like Mr. Eric!
Could it be that, after three years with Mr. Eric, she’s starting to resemble him more?
Buzz…
George’s phone vibrated suddenly. He checked the message, then a cold smile spread across his face. He looked at Kate with admiration and said, “Madam, you were right. Those two are planning to take out a loan!”
