What's more, even if Ruth wanted to fight for her son's custody, could she really win against the Quartley family?
The Quartley family had thousands of tricks up their sleeves. To win the child's custody would not be an easy feat for Ruth.
Thus, Yesseca could only remain silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.
After a while, Ruth broke the tense atmosphere by saying, "Yesseca, you really are amazing. All this while, you've always been more optimistic than I could ever imagine. You haven't changed one bit."
There was something Ruth had never told Yesseca.
Back then, she had harbored a bit of admiration for Yesseca.
Yesseca had also worked as a servant for the Quartley family.
However, Yesseca didn't have the slightest hint of cowardice and she treated everyone equally.
That was a quality of Yesseca that Ruth could only dream of, yet never achieve of her own.
Hearing Ruth's words, Yesseca let out a bitter
laugh.
Her experience upon first leaving Nashaland popped into her mind.
Yesseca said faintly, "Ruth, I was in a sorry state before this as well. I was in extreme pain and I felt like a walking corpse. Fortunately, I regained my footing and I'm living well now."
Yesseca then took in a deep breath, her bitter smile once again turning into a bright one, "Look at my bakery. Our customers keep on increasing day by day, so we've had no choice but to open more branches and take in more employees."
"In the future, we'll grow even bigger and strive to become a well-known franchise."
Seeing the light in Yesseca's eyes, Ruth was surprised.
A well-known franchise?
Could a woman accomplish that?
That was a dream she couldn't even think of.
However, when she saw how confident Yesseca was, she had a strong premonition that she would succeed.
Yesseca would definitely fulfill her aspirations.
