Chapter 24 Provocation
“No, it’s nothing.” Flora said embarrassedly. After speaking, she suddenly felt that the chair she was sitting on seemed to have thorns.
She was so restless that she really didn’t want to stay here any longer.
After finding an excuse, she went back to the room.
Seeing Flora like that, Hattie couldn’t help being amused.
This Flora was Isabella’s grandniece. Her parents passed away a few years ago, and she was the only one left. Isabella saw that she was pitiful and young, so she raised her.
But Flora had ambitions. She wanted to marry Levi wholeheartedly. It was a pity that Levi ignored her all these years.
Ruby made Flora so embarrassed in public. With Flora’s character, she would definitely complain to Isabella. Levi was now disabled. Ruby was not favored by the Finn family and couldn’t give Levi any help. From now on, the Finn family could only belong to her son.
“Ruby, it’s late now. How about staying here tonight?” Hattie wiped the corners of her mouth after she finished eating. Then she looked up at Ruby.
Ruby was putting some food into Levi’s bowl. Hearing it, she was stunned.
On the first day when she went to her fiancé’s home, she stayed here overnight? If it was spread out, her reputation would be completely ruined. The Harold family would be laughed at for it.
But wasn’t this what she wanted?
So she nodded, “Okay.”
Spencer wanted to refuse, but Ruby answered faster than him. He didn’t have time to react. After hearing it, he couldn’t help frowning.
This was simply ridiculous.
How could there be a girl who would sleep at her fiancé’s home before they got married?
If others knew it, they would laugh at his family.
“Ruby!” He scolded, and then turned to apologize to Hattie, “Ma’am, I’m really sorry. Ruby grew up in F Country and doesn’t know these things. I didn’t educate her well. She has to go home tonight, lest others gossiping.”
With a smile on her face, Hattie glanced at Spencer.
Ruby looked indifferent, “Dad, it doesn’t matter. Won’t I marry Levi anyway? I can sleep here tonight, so I can know Levi better. Levi, what do you think? Can I sleep in your room tonight?”
As soon as Ruby finished speaking, the faces of the servants around her changed.
This was the first time they had seen such a shameless girl. It was shameful that she wanted to sleep with the man who she met at the first time!
No wonder it was said that Miss Harold was by nature profligate, and she didn’t know the manners. Her biological mother was also a whore. She was found by others that she had an affair with other men and then she committed suicide after being unable to stand the blow. Sure enough, like mother, like daughter.
Hattie sneered, but she was very kind on her face, “It’s not appropriate for you guys to sleep in the same room together. I will arrange the room next to Levi for you.”
“Okay.” Ruby thought for a while and then answered. It seemed that she was a little unhappy.
Hattie despised her even more contemptuously.
“Ruby, what exactly do you want to do!? Do you know if you sleep here tonight like this, what will others comment on you? Go home with me now and apologize to Hattie. She won’t blame you.” After eating, Spencer pulled Ruby aside furiously and gritted his teeth.
Ruby looked at him innocently, “Dad, it’s her who asked me to stay here. What’s wrong with me? Anyway, I and Levi are already engaged. We will get married in ten days. Even if we have sex now, isn’t it normal?”
When Spencer heard it, he was even more angry, wishing to slap her.
If this matter was spread out, the Harold family would be laughed at by the people of high society in Sea City tomorrow.
He couldn’t afford the consequences!
“Ruby! You…”
“Dad, I have to leave now. Levi is looking for me.” Ruby glanced back at Levi, and then ran away hurriedly, without even giving Spencer a chance to speak.
Spencer was so angry that he was blushed. He really wanted to slap Ruby to death.
But he couldn’t lose his temper in the Finn family. He could only hold back.
Levi was silent the whole time. Seeing him like this, everyone was afraid of approaching him.
Ruby pushed his wheelchair and said affectionately, “Levi, I will push you back to the room.”
Hattie looked at them with a smile, but didn’t stop Ruby.
Ruby sent Levi back to his room. After walking into the room, the hypocritical smile on her face disappeared completely.
“Have you ever thought about learning to act? Your acting skills are quite good.” Levi asked after seeing Ruby’s face changed so quickly.
“That’s a good idea. What do you think of my appearance? Can I be popular in the entertainment industry? I think I can be popular.” Ruby was excited when she heard the words. Then she got her face close to Levi.
Levi smelled a faint fragrance, which was a bit familiar. He felt as if he had smelled it somewhere before. It seemed that he smelt it a long time ago. When he was about to think about it deeply, Ruby straightened up, turned and walked towards the door, “I’m sleepy. I have to go to bed first. My fiancé, see you tomorrow.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing her back, Levi smiled.
But a harsh ringtone interrupted the silence in the room.
Levi’s face changed. He got up and picked up a heavy black mobile phone in the drawer. On it was an incoming call with no number displayed.
He answered the phone with a deep voice, “Hello.”
“Mr. Finn, we haven’t found the whereabouts of DR. C, but what is certain is that she has left F Country, she should have gone to H Country. There are no clues where she went. We also contacted her research institute. The other party refused to provide the experimental medicine we needed.” In the phone, there was a somewhat worried voice.
Levi tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly, and frowned, “Can Teddie still hold on?”
“The doctor said, if we can’t get the experimental drug, he can live for three days at most.”
Levi sighed when he heard the words. His face darkened, “I know. I’ll handle this. I will think of a solution.”
If he remembered correctly, the research institute of Amelia’s grandfather seemed to have recently introduced an experimental drug developed by DR. C. If he could know Amelia’s grandfather, he might have a chance to meet the mysterious DR. C.
