Zorion immediately retorted, "But Ruth just said that she was pregnant."
Ruth was flustered.
The servant's words just now made her think that she could not lie anymore. Hence, she told the truth. She did not expect that there would be such a reversal.
Ruth was not good at lying. Therefore, she was speechless for a moment.
On the other hand, Madam Quartley was full of anger.
She already had a bad impression of Ruth. Hence, she assumed that it was Ruth's doing.
Although she was pregnant, she was still restless and wanted to seduce Zorion!
Otherwise, how could Zorion know that Ruth lived in such a remote place? Ruth must have tried to hook up with Zorion and told him that she was pregnant!
What was she trying to do?
She wanted to take over the family and become the Matriarch!
A hint of coldness flashed across Madam
Quartley's eyes.
Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.
She would never allow Ruth to take over the place.
Of course, considering that Ruth was pregnant, even if Madam Quartley was full of anger, she could only suppress it in her heart.
"Zorion, don't worry so much. Anyway, Ruth needs to take a good rest in the palace. I've sent someone to take care of her, so you don't have to join in the fun here." With this, Madam Quartley came over and took Zorion's hand.
She wanted to take Zorion away.
Zorion took his hand out from her grasp.
He uttered, "Then, I'll take care of Ruth here."
Madam Quartley's face was very grim. "Nonsense! With all the servants here, there's nothing you can do! Follow me back!"
Zorion didn't want to leave, but he hesitated because he had always listened to Madam Quartley's words. At this time, Ruth persuaded, "Mr. Zorion, please go back. I have someone to take care of me. You don't need to stay here."
Zorion hesitated for a moment and finally followed Madam Quartley.
When Zorion left, the baby in Ruth's belly moved more and more violently.
The little fellow kept kicking her little hands and feet, which made Ruth's belly swell.
However, Ruth slowly closed her eyes. Her lips and face were as pale and colorless as before.
After being dragged away by Madam Quartley, Zorion was scolded. He was also warned that he could never see Ruth again.
Seeing that Madam Quartley was so angry, Zorion lowered his head and said nothing.
Madam Quartley didn't continue scolding him.
On the one hand, she felt sorry for her grandson. On the other hand, she was afraid that Yuliana would find out if she made too much noise.
At first, Ruth's arrival had made Yuliana sad, but now Zorion actually went to see Ruth after such a short time!
Madam Quartley said to Zorion, "Zorion, forget it this time. Don't see Ruth again. I told you that Ruth has the best servants to take care of her. You don't need to worry about her. Besides, you should think about Yuliana. You are always worried about Ruth and neglecting Yuliana!"
Zorion's eyes flashed with confusion.
Why did he have to think about his wife when he was looking for Ruth?
But he soon understood.
His wife doesn't like Ruth.
