"Madam, I'll make you some tea!"
"Madam, I'm going to get you some snacks!"
"No need." Ruth said to them lightly, "I'm going to talk to your master. You can leave now."
"... Yes."
Soon, only Ryan and Ruth remained in the living room.
Ryan cleared his throat and took the initiative to mention it. "Ruth, do you already know what's going on?"
Ruth said with a depressed look, "Yes, I already knew about the murder and escape. These days, I've thought a lot. What's wrong with our family? Why are there so many troubles? Later, I thought about it again and again. I found that if it weren't for your daughter, we could still be fine..."
Ryan was displeased when he heard this.
"Ruth, what do you mean by this?"
"Isn't that the case? Amelia is the cause of everything Sawyer has done. If she hadn't insisted on suing Sawyer, he wouldn't have been put in jail, and he wouldn't have killed so many policemen without a choice!"
"Ruth!" Ryan was enraged.
It was obvious that the beast was cruel and merciless. How could she put the blame on his daughter?
Ruth pursed her lips and asked with red eyes, "In the past two days, the Quartley family and the Anderson family must have contacted you, right?"
Ryan said stiffly, "Yes, they were all asking about that beast!"
Ruth's heart sank as she heard Ryan describe their son as a beast. She took a deep breath and asked, "Are they ashamed of Sawyer?"
Ryan thought of the complaints on the phone and nodded in pain.
"What a joke! Sawyer has always been the pride of our family, but now he's become a stain that they can't wait to erase! On the contrary, your daughter and son- in- law are now praised by everyone. They say that they never abandon each other in times of crisis. They're the role models of husband and wife. Haha, haha..."
Listening to Ruth's sinister laughter, Ryan's brows furrowed even more tightly. "I know you have a grudge against me, but that's a different thing. I cheated and gave birth to Amelia. I'm wrong. But that bastard kidnapped Amelia and killed so many policemen. He must be brought back for trial!”
Ruth's face turned pale as soon as she heard that. ''I came here to discuss with you how to help Sawyer to escape. But in the end, you said that you wanted to catch him?"
"Ruth, how could you be so confused?! Don't you remember that when that beast kidnapped Amelia, we deliberately put on a show with the police and pretended to be kidnapped by the Hopper family in order to redeem Amelia? Why are you not as righteous as before?"
"At that time, I agreed to cooperate with the police because I didn't know that Amelia is your illegitimate daughter! Besides, I also hoped that Sawyer could let go of Amelia as soon as possible to ease his guilt. But you know the current situation. If Sawyer is caught again, it will be a death sentence!"
The word "death" caused Ryan and his wife's hearts to skip a beat. When they thought of how their son would be punished, even Ryan couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Ruth took the opportunity to say, "Ryan, I've never begged you in my life. Instead, you've done something that wronged me, haven't you?"
"Ruth, just accept the reality. Don't make trouble anymore!" Ryan couldn't stand it anymore and shout.
"Okay..." Ruth gave up on him completely. "You kept saying that you loved me and said that you were sorry for me and Sawyer. As a result, you refused it when I asked you to go and plead with your daughter.
You feel that Sawyer deserves to die, but I can't think the same way. I had been pregnant for ten months and had worked so hard to give birth. I can't let him die like you. No matter what price I have to pay, I will protect him!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left. Ryan immediately chased after her. "Ruth! Where are you going again?"
Ruth shook him off angrily. "It's none of your business where I go!"
Ryan was in poor health, so after a few steps, he shouted, "Someone, stop Madam!"
The nearby servants ran over and blocked Ruth's way.
Seeing this, Ruth glared at them aggressively and said, "I'll see who dares!"
For a moment, the servants didn't know who to listen to. Someone persuaded in a weak voice, "Old Master, Madam, you can talk about it nicely. Don't quarrel."
Ruth looked back at Ryan coldly and said, "Ryan, if you stop me, I'll hate you for the rest of my life."
Ryan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
