Chapter 13 Not Familiar With You
But whether Hattie was his natural mother or stepmother was none of her business.
No matter she married him or not, her plan would still move on.
It was a good idea to have him as her husband since a cripple was less likely to impede her plan. But if he did interfere with her business…
Ruby squinted her eyes and licked the corner of her mouth carelessly.
…
When Hattie was passionate about discussing the affairs about the wedding ceremony, Ruby felt bored about the conversation and kept yawning.
“So, according to the schedule, we will pick her up at your house at 9 am on the 8th of next month. We will prepared a decent marriage for her and all the details of the ceremony will be scheduled based on the traditions.”
As she noticed Ruby sitting in a improper posture, Mrs. Finn smiled in satisfaction. She confirmed the arrangement in detail with Spencer and then asked her servant to bring in the gifts before saying goodbye to the Harolds.
“These are antiques, right? How generous the Finn family is!”
These antiques, paintings, and jewelry seemed so valuable. It seemed like the Finn family cared much about the marriage indeed.
Sitting on the sofa, Ruby blurted out to remind Susan as she put on a greedy look at those gifts, “Be careful when you are touching these things, Susan. If you break it, you are going to compensate me for it.”
“Compensate you?” Susan glared at her.
“These are the gifts they give to me, so I’m going to take these with me when I marry into the Finn family. What will they think if they find you appropriating all these stuff? They must reckon that you guys are so poor,” Ruby smiled and gave the remark on them.
But Susan couldn’t accept that!
These treasures were worth over a million dollars! Why did she have to leave them to Ruby!
“Stop! What are you thinking? Just put these things into the room upstairs and give them to Ruby when she gets married,” Spencer glanced at Susan disdainfully.
She was pursuing short-term interests while ignoring the long-term profits from the alliance with the Finn family. What a superficial woman!
Susan ordered the servants to put the things upstairs unwillingly.
Ruby smiled coldly.
“Ruby!”
When Ruby felt bored and prepared to leave, she caught a whiff of perfume and heard a sweet voice coming from somewhere around.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Hello, my dear sister! How’s your life in France? I heard that there was a lot of crime in the country you had been living in, especially rapes. For a pretty girl like you…”
Rita stared at her attractive face enviously and felt unfair.
She was the firstborn of the family after all. How could Ruby be prettier than her!
Ruby glanced at her languidly and made a faint smile, “If you really want to know it, just ask your father to send you there and stay for several years.”
Rita was embarrassed by her reply.
“You are so humorous, Ruby. I haven’t seen you for so long. Now that you are back, I’ve host a welcome party for your return. Since you got nothing to do now, why don’t you just come with me? There are a lot of people who want to know about you.”
The embarrassment on her face was quickly replaced by a smile. She reached out her hand and held Ruby’s arm.
Seeing this, Ruby raised her eyebrow and took out her hand slowly, “I’m not familiar with your friends, and you.”
