Chapter 1 The Engagement


    In the hospital, Ruby Harold was sitting on the bench in the hallway, looking at the two aggressive men


    in front of her, “ You want me to marry into the Finn family, and that’s fine. But you have to give back my


    mother’s possessions…”


    “What?! Do you think you are eligible to pose a condition to me, Rube?” the woman interrupted her with


    a shrill voice.


    Ruby turned to look at her stepmother, Susan Shaw, who had driven her mother to death, reced her


    as Mrs.Harold. She sent her and her grandma abroad, and then left them without any further support.


    After more than ten years since she was sent abroad, her stepmother came to her abruptly and urged


    her to go back and marry into the Finn family.


    Ruby tried her utmost to restrain the hatred to her as she pushed her sses up, “Now it’s you asking


    for a favor. If you think it is uneptable, just go away.”


    Susan was annoyed, “It’s your honor to marry into such a noble family! Besides, the engagement was


    made by your dead mother at the very beginning!”


    “Well…” Ruby nodded while asked rhetorically, “But does the engagement still be recognized by the


    Finn family?”


    Her question embarrassed the woman, who didn’t answer but turned to look at a middle aged man,


    Spencer.


    “Ruby, they always keep their promise! How could they reject you after making the engagement?”


    Spencer broke the silence in an abnormal tone of tender.


    “Dad, I hear that Levi has to live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life due to his leg problems. Besides,


    it’s almost impossible for him to be the heir of his family,” she interrupted him.


    Then, she nced at them and said aggrievedly, “I know the Finn family doesn’t want to see Levi dies


    without issue, so they offer generous rewards to the woman who can give birth to his heir.”


    “I guess my dear stepmother must be so eager to build a rtionship with the Finn family but unwilling


    to let my little sister Rita marry a cripple, so youe to find me as the alternative.”


    Spencer turned scarlet from embarrassment but still trying to excuse it, “Your mother and Hattie were


    good friends back in the day!”


    “Yeah,” Ruby said, “If Levi wasn’t crippled, you would have asked Rita to marry him.”


    Since his real intention was seen through by her, Spencer got irritated for the shame, “Watch your


    tongue, Ruby!”


    “Don’t waste your breath, Spencer,” Susan spoke up, “she has no idea about how lucky she is to marry


    Levi!”


    “Now that you know how lucky it is, leave it to Rita. I’m pretty sure she won’t let you down.”


    The engagement didn’t really matter to her. After all, it wasn’t the only way to get back her mother’s


    legacy.


    Rudy stood up immediately and was about to walk away.


    But Spencer stopped her hurriedly. He gritted his teeth as if he had made a tough decision, “Well, I’m


    not that sure how many stuffs your mother left. You know, I can’t remember everything so clearly after


    so many years now. I have to make it clear.”


    He tried to act like a loving father, but she didn’t bite at the bait at all. “I am not negotiating with you. I’m


    informing you.”


    “The door is over there, you guys can get out of here now,” she said straightly.


    Spencer blurted out with his teeth gnashed, “Fine! I promise you! But you have to marry Levi! You have


    one day to pack your stuffs and then back with us!”


    Such a hurry. As if he was afraid that she would break the deal if he hesitated. Ruby restrained herself


    from mocking him but made a bright smile instead.
