Chapter 23 Publish It in the Newspaper
Hattie looked at the bracelet on her wrist, feeling stiff. She tried to take it off while Ruby was not looking at her. But she found she couldn’t take it off no matter how hard she tried. It was weird. It was so easy for Ruby to put it on her wrist.
Thinking of what Ruby said just now, she looked more gloomily.
Levi kept watching from the side. Watching Hattie get embarrassed, he was in a good mood.
“The boss must lie to you. How could it be possible!” Hattie forced a smile, and said reluctantly.
“Really? I also think he lied to me. I can take it off so easily.” Ruby seemed to not catch Hattie’s words. She answered seriously.
Hattie felt so speechless. She managed a smile but didn’t speak to Ruby again.
The details of the wedding had been finalized. Ruby had nothing to do here.
After she made Hattie feel disgust, she went over to stand behind Levi’s wheelchair again, lowered her head, and said shyly, “Well, Dad, Susan, Hattie, now that our marriage has been settled. Can you let the reporter issue a press release? I’m always worried that everything is not true. I am afraid that it will be fake when I wake up.”
No one thought that Ruby would make such a request. So they were all a little astonished for a while.
But it was not a big deal.
Spencer couldn’t wait to let the Finn family to announce this matter. In this way, everyone in Sea City knew that their family had the special relationship with the Finn family.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
At this time, the more he saw Ruby, the more he felt satisfied. Although she didn’t get close to him since she was a child and had been away for five years, she still considered the Harold family anyway. See!
“No problem. I’ll let the company’s public relations department make a statement later and publish your marriage news in the newspaper.” Seeing Ruby’s pretentious look, Hattie felt sick, but she still agreed with a polite smile.
“Thank you! You are so kind to me.” Ruby looked up at Hattie with excitement.
Hattie felt creepy by the look in Ruby’s eyes. She was even more afraid that Ruby would suddenly come over and put something weird on her hand, so she hurriedly got up, “I will go to the kitchen and have a look. How about having a meal with us together?”
“Thank you.” Ruby said softly and thanked her again.
Hattie walked more quickly.
The smile on Ruby’s face was brilliant. She blinked at Levi.
Levi was speechless.
He was a little curious about what exactly Ruby experienced in F COUNTRY in the past five years so that she had such amazing acting skills.
He had investigated Ruby. Before she went to F COUNTRY, she was very simple. Her academic performance was mediocre. She went to school in a private high school in Sea City. Five years ago, she was sent by the Harold family because of a terrible scandal. Then her experience went blank in those five years.
He knew how good his intelligence agencies were. Even they couldn’t find out the information about Ruby. It could only show that there was a big shot who was hiding something for Ruby.
“Ruby, it’s ten days left to the wedding. Buy something with the credit card that I gave you. Buy whatever you want.” Spencer liked Ruby very much now. She was so good!
“Okay, thank you, Dad.” Ruby replied, pushing Levi aside, and found a place to sit down.
At dinner, Ralph made an excuse that he had an important client to receive, so he did not show up. Isabella made an excuse that she was unwell and didn’t show up. It was the weak woman who had always been with her came to dine with them.
“Miss Harold is studying in F Country? I heard that the education there is pretty good.” Flora looked at Ruby. While slowly eating the food in the bowl, she asked softly.
Ruby glanced at her. She could feel Flora’s hostility towards her, probably because of Levi.
She took the fork and put a piece of meat into her mouth. It tasted good, then she picked a piece and put it in Levi’s bowl. After doing these, she answered Flora’s question sincerely, “You can quickly break up with that person. She is definitely lying to you. The education in F Country is the worst in the world. The people there only know how to flirt with the little girls except for being romantic.
Flora frozen for an instant. She looked at Ruby blankly, feeling at a loss.
Levi had just eaten a bite of food. Hearing what Ruby said, he almost choked to death. Then he coughed for a long time before relieving.
Ruby quickly patted him on the back, then got a bowl of soup and gave it to him.
“Really? I, I thought…” Flora didn’t know how to answer. Her face was a little pale.
“If you want to know the situation in F Country that much, I suggest you can ask your parents to send you there. You’ll know it after living here for a few years.” Ruby interrupted Flora.
Flora’s face turned paler and she was shivering.
She looked at Levi with weeping, but she saw that Levi put the piece of meat into his mouth. Suddenly, she collapsed.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
Levi had always been a neat freak, let alone eating other people’s dishes. When he ate with the Finn family, he didn’t allow anyone to touch his dishes. She had lived in the Finn family for more than 20 years. This was the first time she had seen that Levi actually ate the meat that a woman gave him…
She couldn’t understand the reason.
“Eat this. It’s good.” Ruby ignored Flora who was sitting there and performing. She continued to give Levi the food.
Levi frowned and looked at the food in the bowl. Before he could speak, he heard Flora, who was sitting on the opposite side, cautiously reminded Ruby, “Miss Harold, you may not know Levi very well. He never eats this…”
Before she finished speaking, Levi seemed to be against her deliberately. He directly picked up the food that Ruby gave him and put it into his mouth.
It tasted a little strange, and it felt like eating soil. Levi resisted the discomfort and swallowed it.
“What did you say?” Ruby watched Levi finished eating, then she looked up at Flora, blinked, and asked innocently.
Flora opened her mouth but she couldn’t say a word.
Did Levi actually eat it?
Why did he treat Ruby so differently? Why would he be so accommodating and conniving to her?
