Chapter 20 Meet With Him
Though she seemed to be weak and harmless now, she could always bring misery to those who tried to take advantage of her.

Since they had been hostile to each other in the bar and now nobody was in the room except them, Rita stopped pretending friendly to her and left the room with her pillow after threatening her.
When she was gone, Ruby looked around the room in cold eyes.
Five years ago, this room belonged to her.
It was carefully designed and furnished by Nellie herself, but sadly, they had removed the original design and changed almost everything in the room.
She didn’t even want to sleep on the bed which had been used by Rita. That made her feel disgusting.
When Rita was gone, she asked servants to throw everything that belonged to Rita out of the room and changed the bedsheet. If it wasn’t so late right now, she would even throw out the bed and get a new one.
Seeing her things get thrown out, Rita cried out of anger and said grievously while holding Susan’s hand, “Mom. Look what is she doing to me!”
“Don’t worry, she can’t be so proud for long. After she marries into the Finn family, everything in the house still belongs to you. Besides, the men in the Finn family won’t be pleased by her characteristics. They will teach her a lesson sooner or later.”
Susan was also pissed off by Ruby, but when she realized that no matter how arrogant she was, she would marry that incompetent from the Finn family, she knew Rita was going to have a better life than she had and felt comforted.
“I will never let her get away with this!” Rita stared at Ruby in resentment.
Every time she thought about the dishonor she had at the bar, she wanted to tear Ruby into pieces right away.
But she had to be patient before Ruby married into the Finn family.
When her husband was a useless cripple and nobody got her back, she could no longer be so arrogant anymore!
Ruby didn’t have a good night. She had a nightmare and then woke up at about 4 am.
She was having a headache and couldn’t fall asleep again.
So she opened the window and looked at the garden in the dark, hearing the distant chirpings of different insects.
Unlike by day, the night of the city in June was cool with the fragrance of flowers in the air.
Rubbing her temples, Ruby walked away from the window, took some pills, and got on the bed again.
When she could almost fall asleep at 7 am, the sound of someone banging the door woke her up.
Lacking enough sleep, she became irritable with her eyes turning red.
Pom, Pom, Pom.
The man outside was hitting the door heavily like he was going to smash it.
Ruby got off the bed, walked to the door, opened it angrily.
Seeing her fiery face, Rita was scared with her hand halted in the air and stepped back.
But soon she realized she was the inheritor of the Harold family and came to see Ruby with a proper reason, she became bold again.
“Why do you get up so late, Ruby! Can’t you remember what day today is?” Rita was looking at Ruby haughtily.
Ruby pressed her temples and restrained the impulse to give her a slap.
“What?”
Since she just woke up not long ago, her voice was so deep and attractive, but sadly, her messy face made her a bit less magnetic.
“Dad asks me to inform you that we need to pay a visit to the Finn family according to the tradition and the fact that they had admitted the engagement. You can spend your time with your future husband there, while I’m only going to make some friends there,” Rita said proudly.
Once she knew she was going to see that cripple, she was so excited.
It was said that he not only lost her both legs but was also badly disfigured. Every time she thought about Ruby was going to marry a cripple and ugly man, she was delighted.
While Ruby just squinted her eyes impatiently. She didn’t expect that she had to visit the Finn family right now.
She was scheduled to check the situation of Taylor and make further improvements for the experimental medicine in the institute. She really didn’t have much time.
“Got it,” Ruby said indifferently and closed the door.
She didn’t even try to pretend to be friendly to Rita.
Coldly treated by Ruby, Rita was annoyed, but soon she held back the anger and walked downstairs.
An hour later, Ruby finished washing and walked downstairs with a different outfit.
The design of the dress she was wearing was really in poor taste. It was a bright red dress with a lot of sequins on it, which was likely to make the person who wore it looked like a waitress in the bar.
But the dress fitted Ruby so much that it made her look charming like a gentlewoman.
Every time she saw Ruby’s pretty face, she would gnash her teeth out of jealousy.
Susan frowned once she saw her dress. At first, she wanted to tell her not to dress like a mistress in front of the Finn family, but eventually, she gave up the idea.
Anyway, she wouldn’t feel sorry for her if Ruby was embarrassed by the Finn family.
Since she didn’t sleep well last night, Ruby closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep in the car.
While Rita was chattering endlessly next to her and made her so agitated.
Ruby tried to stand her for being noisy at the beginning, but soon Rita was talking louder and louder like she was intentional, which made her couldn’t tolerate this anymore. “Stop the car, driver,” Ruby said.
The driver didn’t dare to go against her and stopped the car by the roadside.
Ruby opened the door, threw Rita out of the car, and closed it, “Get moving, driver.”
The driver was scared with sweats on his head but didn’t dare to refuse her order, so the car was driven away.
Rita was thrown and rolled around on the ground. She stood up with dust covering her and said angrily, “Ruby Harold! You bitch! Bitch!”
That was out of the line! She didn’t even show any respect for her!
An hour later, the cars of the Harold family arrived at the entrance of the Finns’ manor.
The Finn family was a wealthy and influential family that had a history of thousands of years. They were so rich that they had a manor that covered a thousand acres of land in the city which had such a high price of land.
The gate was opened, and then the car was moving on the wide tarmacked road. Seeing this, Spencer and Susan couldn’t help laughing in the car.
They knew the Finn family was rich and influential, but they didn’t expect that the family was so rich and influential!
Even the Finn family only left a small proportion of their profits to them, they could live a dream life they had never reached before!
Then, the cars were parked at the gate of the manor house.
Spencer and Susan got off the car and walked to another car behind them.
“Miss Harold, we arrive at the destination,” the driver said carefully to the girl sleeping in the back seat.
Ruby frowned and opened her eyes. Taking a look at the outside, she got off the car reluctantly.
“Where is Rita?” Susan frowned when she only saw Ruby get out of the car.
And then she was surprised when she opened the door and couldn’t find Rita in the car.
“Rita?” Susan was puzzled.
For the visit today, she had hired a designer to make a new dress with jewelry and accessories for Rita, so that she could leave a great impression on the Finn family and then date with the second son of the family.
Since Levi was incompetent, the inheritor of the family was likely to be the second son, Lennon Finn.
Ruby took a look at Susan carelessly. She had already known that Susan was making use of her to pave the way for Rita.
And she wouldn’t make it easy for them.
