Ruth cried as she spoke. From time to time, she would size up Valerie’s expression. She knew where Valerie’s bottom line was. ‘I don’t only have Valerie as my daughter. <b>I </b>also have a son!‘ she thought.
Ruth was kneeling on the ground<b>, </b>and Valerie watched from the side.
The neighbor next door was about to send her child to school. She looked at this scene in surprise and could not help but persuade her, “Miss, how <b>can </b>you let your mother kneel like this? Let her get up quickly<b>, </b>or God will punish you!”
<b>Valerie </b>was usually easygoing but could not give in to such things.
Hearing this, she sneered. “If she gets up, will you kneel for her?”
The woman immediately frowned and quickly dragged her child away. She did not dare to lecture Valerie anymore.
Valerie was left in peace. She knew that Ruth wanted to use maral kidnapping to make her submit. This time, Valerie was ruthless and let Ruth know she couldn’t control her easily. Ruth saw Valerie hadpletely ignored her, and her knees hurt from kneeling. So she stood up awkwardly.
At this moment, Valerie finally said. “I can arrange a ce for you to stay”
Ruth was overjoyed. “Valerie, 1 knew you still<b>…</b>
<b>Valerie </b>quickly interrupted her before she could say anything disgusting. “I just don’t want you to disturb Julian
‘If Ipletely ignore Ruth, Ruth will look for Julian, Julian runs a fruit shop alone and has to look after Aiden. How can he have the time to arrange for Ruth? Not to mention that Ruth is insatiable. What if she sees Julian and Katherine together and causes trouble? Julian is <b>usually </b>so good to me. I only did it for the <b>sake </b>of Julian and did not want him to worry, Valerie thought.
Ruth <b>had </b>been scolded badly, but in the end. Valerie agreed. She thanked Valerie repeatedly and even pretended to be moved to tears.
She was interrupted by Valerie with a fake smile. “There will be people around <b>us </bter. You don’t want to be recognized, right?

The days of being shouted at byizens were still <b>vivid </b>in Ruth’s mind. When the truth <b>first </b>came <b>out</b>. Ruth had to wear <b>sunsses </b><b>and </b>a <b>mask </b>when she went out. Otherwise, people would scold her whenever they recognized her.
Some even threw rotten eggs <b>at </b>her. Ruth did not want to remember those <b>days </b>for a moment
Many people rolled their eyes at her even when they forcibly took her house. Ruth was not afraid even when <b>Melinda </b>was in court with her. However, at the mention of being recognized, Ruth immediately let go and stopped crying.
She looked at Valerie pitifully. “I won’t. I promise that as long <b>as </b>you take me in, I won’t <b>cause </b>trouble for you! Valerie, only you can help me now!”
Ruth humbled herself to <b>Valerie </b>because she wanted <b>Valerie </b>to give her a ce to <b>stay</b>. She had no choice. Seeing that Valerie agreed, she heaved a sigh of relief
Valerie had rented an empty basement <b>for </b>her. She would make it a ce for Ruth to stay first.
The basement was small and dirty. There was an iron bed with rust. There was not <b>even </b><b>a </b>toilet.
“This, <b>this </b><b>is </b>100..” Although Ruth had never been rich, she <b>had </b>never suffered like this.
Just as she <b>was </b>about to protest, Valerie red at her, and she immediately fell silent.
Now, at least Ruth had a ce to stay, and it still had electricity and water in the basement. They temporarily tidied it up. After that, Valerie looked <b>at </b>her <b>and </b>said, “13 help you find <b>a </b><b>ce </b>to arrange for you to stay. You have to know when to stop. Don’t do those things that harm others <b>without </b>benefiting yourself in the future. Of course, don’t think about getting anything from me. Otherwise, I won’t show you <b>the </b><bst </b>bit of mercy,”
Valerie’s voice was
?’s voice <b>was </b>cold and hard.
Ruth shuddered and immediately raised her hand. “I promise! I promise I won’t do it again. I only want a ce to settle down. Valerie, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I won’t bother <b>you </b><b>again</b>!
Valerie did not <b>say </b>anything. She did <b>think </b>that people might change their temperament in a short time. Moreover, Ruth looked pitiful now, after so many years, the feelings between Ruth and her had long ruTI QUE,
The reason why shepromised was because of her brother, Julian. Moreover, had seen how difficult and unreasonable Rudi was before.
