Chapter 12 Demean Yourself
Spencer held his chest painfully.
Hattie glanced at Ruby and made a disdainful look at the beginning. But soon she was satisfied.
If Levi had such a vulgar and stupid woman as his wife, he would no longer be a threat to her son!
“You must be Ruby,” Hattie said warmly.
Ruby smiled and replied in a rude manner, “That’s right! I’m the young master of the Harold family, Ruby Harold. Who are you? And why is this old woman in my house?”
“…”
“Ruby Harold!” Spencer was so angry that he wanted to slap her face immediately.
How could she still act like a troublemaker at such a critical moment!
How could she be so arrogant to Hattie! What if Hattie was irritated and then canceled the engagement!
“Enough, Ruby! This is Hattie and you should greet her!” Susan stepped forward hurriedly and apologized to Hattie, “I’m so sorry. Ruby grew up abroad and got used to being unrestrained. Please don’t put it in mind. I’m sure that I will teach her a lesson later.”
“Apologize, Ruby. Hurry!” Susan couldn’t hold her anger when she saw Ruby was still standing there and did nothing.
“What makes you think you can give orders to me?” Ruby didn’t even care about Susan.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Right at once, Susan burst into anger.
But she couldn’t lose his temper right in front of Hattie, so she had to hold it back and cursed Ruby silently.
However, the more rude Ruby was, the more satisfied Hattie felt.
She was as terrible as the rumor said.
Besides, she looked like a seductive girl who was unlikely to be loyal to her husband. What would happen if she has a cripple as her husband?
Maybe the scandal about her having an affair would be posted in the newspaper a few days after the wedding ceremony. And then, Levi would be the standing joke in the city.
“That’s fine, Mrs. Harold. She is still young after all, you should give her some time. Maybe we should talk about something else,” Hattie was so content that she hoped Ruby could marry Levi immediately.
She looked at Ruby smilingly and spoke up for her.
Ruby just took a glance at Hattie.
How could she stand this?
“I’m so sorry, Hattie. We didn’t teach her properly,” Susan sighed sadly.
“Take a seat, Ruby. Let’s talk about the engagement between you and Levi,” Hattie didn’t care about Susan but spoke to Ruby kindly, which made Susan feel embarrassed.
“Mr. Finn wants to get things done as soon as possible, so I hope we can finish the preparations this month and make sure the wedding ceremony will be held next month. Is that all right?”
Hattie was trying so hard to restrain her joy as she pretended to be calm.
“Next month?”
Spencer didn’t expect that things would go on so well, even though she could accept Ruby’s rudeness.
He was thrilled. If they were engaged, the Harold family would benefit a lot and could become influential with a favor of the Finns in the city!
“We are fine with that arrangement,” he accepted her proposal without hesitating, as if he wanted to arrange the date of marriage as soon as possible.
Ruby couldn’t help but take a peep at Hattie.
She had been trying so hard to demean herself. How could she still accept their marriage? And confirm the date with them in such a hurry?
Was she a stepmother, too?
