She withdrew her hand, her tone incredibly flat.
“Then just wait.”
Seeing her gradually calm down, Garrett thought she was no longer angry. His face immediately relaxed a bit, and he picked up the scattered bags from the ground and handed them over.
Ruth knew that he didn’t understand this sentence, but she didn’t explain anything and took the bag, turned around, and went upstairs.
She was waiting for the cooling–off period to end.
It was not the day he suddenly woke up.
Ruth’s birthday was coming up soon, and Garrett’s parents, who were far away in another country, remembered their daughter–in–law’s birthday. They specially arranged for someone to airship a priceless gemstone crown from Ecluoland.
The address filled in is the headquarters building of the Todd Group.
After receiving the news, Ruth initially wanted to tell her parents that she had already signed the divorce settlement with Garrett. However, thinking that they were traveling and not wanting to spoil their mood, she decided to hold back
She went to the Todd Group.
Garrett’s parents had placed her birthday gift in Garrett’s office, and she happened to be in a meeting at that time. Ruth went in alone.
As she pushed open the door, she saw that Anne had already unpacked the outer packaging and was wearing the dazzling crown on her head.
Seeing her, Anne panicked and immediately wore a timid and fearful expression on her face.
“Madam, how did you come here?”
Ruth, uninterested in watching her perform, walked up and raised her hand to take away the crown from her.
“Come and take away what belongs to me.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in Anne’s eyes. She held onto the crown tightly, refusing to let go, using all her strength.
Just like that?
Ruth was about to let go when she deliberately stabbed her finger onto the sharp tip.
Crimson blood oozed from her fingertips, and she immediately slumped onto the sofa, sobbing softly.
“Madam, I just wanted to admire the crown a little longer because I found it beautiful. Why did you treat me like this?”
