After all, the verbal promise to Ruth was useless at the moment. Even though Yuliana had gone to say it, Ruth still did not believe it.
Madam Quartley could also completely ignore Ruth, but she couldn't do it after thinking about it.
The child in Ruth's belly was more important than anything else. No matter what Ruth requested, she had to satisfy her.
Madam Quartley couldn't think of a solution, so she wanted to discuss it with others.
Usually, she would consult Yuliana. But after thinking about it, she felt that she should not discuss this matter with Yuliana.
The fact that Ruth was pregnant had already hurt Yuliana. If she still went to Yuliana for discussion, it would be as if she was rubbing salt on her wounds.
Hence, Madam Quartley went to Qiana.
She told Qiana what had happened.
"Qiana, Ruth is really stubborn. I had already told her that I won't give the child to Yuliana, but she still wouldn't listen to me. Tell me what I should do now. Do I have to make an oath in front of her?"
Qiana smirked in her heart.
Madam Quartley must have wanted to give the baby in Ruth's belly to Yuliana, so she refused to make a vicious oath.
After all, Madam Quartley was an old lady and old people were usually superstitious. If she couldn't do it, she wouldn't make a vicious oath just to comfort Ruth.
Since she wanted to deceive Ruth, she would help Madam Quartley to come out with a way to deceive Ruth. At the same time, she could make the conflict between Ruth and Yuliana worse so that she could have a chance to eliminate Yuliana.
After all, Madam Quartley had sent someone to guard Ruth's villa. It would be difficult for her to do anything.
It would be more convenient if Ruth could come to Quartley Palace.
Qiana then said, "Madam Quartley, I have an idea. But I don't know if it will work."
"Go ahead."
Qiana said, "Since Ruth doesn't believe you, then you should just tell her to raise her child herself after the child is born. That way, she will believe it."
Madam Quartley immediately retorted, "Nonsense! How can I let her raise this child herself? The child must be returned to the Quartley family. The child is the Zorion's, and he belongs to the Quartley family. It is impossible to give the child to her!"
"Madam Quartley, what I mean is to let her move into Quartley Palace," Qiana said.
Madam Quartley was stunned.
"Just tell her that you would let her raise the child in Quartley Palace in the future. Wouldn't she then believe that you won't give the child to Yuliana?"
Madam Quartley objected, "I can't let that woman come to Quartley Palace. She has been always fond of Zorion. Wouldn't her seduce Zorion if she comes here? How can Yuliana deal with this? No, no, I definitely can't let this woman come to Quartley Palace."
Qiana said, "Madam Quartley, aren't you just trying to make her feel at ease? You can tell her that just to let her feel at ease."
Madam Quartley thought about it, "You want me to just tell her that, but not let her move in? It was all just to make her feel at ease?"
Qiana shook her head and said, "Madam Quartley, you don't understand what I mean. Now you have to let her move into the Quartley Palace because you want her to feel at ease. If you just say it verbally, she still won't believe it."
"She is pregnant now and it is impossible for anything to happen between her and Zorion. After she goes through the pregnancy at ease and gives birth to the child, you can then find a way to get her out of Quartley Palace."
After a pause, Qiana's eyes were full of sympathy, "But Madam Quartley, Ruth is actually quite pitiful. After she gives birth to the baby, you must treat her nicely too. You can't let her suffer anymore for the rest of her life."
After thinking for a while, Madam Quartley thought that Qiana's idea was not bad.
