As soon as she said that, even Amelia herself was stunned.
On the other hand, Ryan was ecstatic. "Amelia, are you telling the truth?!"
Seeing that his face, which had lost brightness, was full of spirit at that moment, Amelia hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm."
*
The Home of Quartley.
"Madam, please slow down!" Seeing that Abner was being dragged away by Ruth, Safa, who was behind them, could not help reminding her in fear.
Ruth sat down on the sofa and settled Abner beside her. Only then did she let go of Abner.
Abner was well-behaved. He knew that Ruth was in a bad mood now. After he withdrew his hand, he lowered his head and gently blew on the red mark on his wrist. However, his skin was so fragile and it could not be healed in a short time.
Safa saw it and felt pain in her heart. She couldn't wait to apply ointment on him like what she did in Streams Villa.
The next second, there was a "bang" sound. It turned out that Ruth smashed the cup brought by the servant on the table! She was well-mannered. At least she didn’t smash it on the ground and the cup didn't break, but it still scared the servants. They had never seen Ruth so angry.
"Madam, is it too hot? I, I'll get you another one."
Seeing the timid servants, Ruth frowned and said, "All right, all of you can leave now. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes!" The surrounding servants immediately retreated.
Safa swallowed her saliva and persuaded her in a low voice, "Madam, please calm down. Maybe we can find another way to deal with Mr. Quartley's affairs."
Ruth suddenly looked at her and said, "A way? He has been sentenced. What else can we do? It's all because of your daughter. She's capable at such a young age!"
Safa said anxiously, "Madam, I've always been on your side!"
"What's the use of you standing on Sawyer's side? Can you convince your daughter not to sue my son?"
"Madam, I came up with an idea on my way back. Can you listen to it first?"
Ruth looked at her coldly, as if she was watching if Safa could tell her something useful.
Safa couldn't wait to say, "I think we can steal Amelia's hair and send it to the hospital for a DNA test. In this way, we can prove that she has a blood relationship with Mr. Quartley! At that time, we can sue her for fraud. Maybe we can turn the table by then."
Abner, who was staying beside Ruth, was stunned for a moment when he heard the idea.
Ruth was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you think that Amelia will let you pull out her hair? Even if you can do it, do you think Patrick will not do anything about it?"
Safa blurted out, "It's better than not doing anything, isn't it?"
Ruth felt a chill run down her spine. "Are you blaming me?"
Safa shrank back. "No, I don't dare!"
Ruth didn't want to talk to this stupid woman anymore. "Get lost."
You know that the Hopper family and the Ramsay family have never welcomed me. Every time they heard that I looked for Amelia, they immediately asked the servants to drive me away.
I'm afraid that even the news that I went to find her was blocked by them and could not reach Amelia's ears. That's why I acted like this. Please understand."
"I understand, I understand! But this is your business, not mine! Why should I understand you?" Ruth finally broke down. "Is it because I have always been so considerate that you think I don't have a temper?"
The next second, Ruth cried and announced, "I've had enough. Let's get divorced!"
Ever since she found out that Ryan and Safa had had a one-night stand, Ruth had already had this idea. The reason why she endured it and didn't mention it was not because she was weak and cowardly, but because she had a deep affection for Ryan. Besides, Sawyer's case had not been settled yet. Also, she didn't want the woman who had ruined her family to gain the upper hand!
But now, her son was sentenced to be put in jail, and her husband was still worried about his daughter. This kind of life was not what she wanted. She felt very painful, and she wanted to get rid of it!
When he heard Ruth propose a divorce, Ryan's mind went blank.
"What... what did you say?"
"I want to divorce you." Ruth gave a detailed explanation. "I can see that among us, you care about your daughter the most. Otherwise, you wouldn't have abandoned me and Abner and invited her to a meal today.
You're worried that you won't be able to see her next time, that's why you did this. But have you considered my feelings? Don't I need to be comforted? Yes! You owe Amelia a lot.
She's also a victim in this whole thing, but I can't forgive her! Sawyer's life is over! I'm tired! So be it..."
Seeing that she wanted to walk past him as she spoke, Ryan hurriedly stopped her. "Ruth, where are you going?!"
