Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 784

"What are we doing?" Ruth's mother stepped out of her room and kicked at Ruth. "You little skank! Where is your conscience? How dare you step over our sister to get into the elite community? Huh? How could you be this cheap? Do you really want to really be a part of the elite society that badly? Do you want to take your sister's resources from her that badly? Aren't you sisters? How could you be this cheap? How shameless!"

Her mother kicked Ruth a few times, more viciously. Ruth wailed in pain, she couldn't see a thing with her head in the sack, so she could only plead. "Mom, can you please just take this off me first? Let me out and-and you can scold me or beat me however you want, okay?"

"We can let you out!" said her father. "But not until we take your phone and every last penny you own from your bag. We have to tie you up before we remove the sack."

Her parents immediately leaped into action after that t o go through her bag. Her phone, cash and the shopping card Sabrina had given her were all taken away. Even her handbag was snatched away by Mindy.

Mindy gave her a kick mercilessly and hissed, "How dare you use a bag this fine? One of these could cost

tens of thousands of dollars, are you worthy of this, Ruth? Are you?? Do you even know what brand this i s? You are just a bumpkin who doesn't know a thing about brands! It's a waste for someone like you to use this bag!"

And just like that, Ruth was robbed clean after being coaxed into returning home by her father, and then beaten by her parents and cousin. At that very moment with her head in the sack, Ruth was devastated. But at the same time, she was also glad that her gut feeling that told her that she should be careful was right. She had hidden the small phone that she bought in the pocket of her clothes right before entering the house. The pain she felt within her was as though she had been thrown into a freezer room. She couldn't help but doubt whether she truly was the child of her parents. Perhaps she had been adopted, and her cousin was actually their child. She suffered the pain wordlessly in the sack and before she could register what was happening, her parents had tied her wrists and legs together and removed the sack from her head. Finally, Ruth was able to see her parents and her cousin Mindy seated in between them.

Not saying a thing, Mindy raised her hand and slapped Ruth across the face twice in full force. "You skank! How dare you sleep with Master Ryan?? How could you be so shameless? How could you be so thick-skinned? Answer me! How could you sleep with him?? Didn't you know that Master Ryan is mine? He belongs to me, Mindy Mann! Grandpa Shaw chose him specifically for me as my fiance! How could you lay your hands on a man as high-born and noble as Master Ryan??"

Mindy looked crazed as though she was completely out of her mind. Ruth looked at her calmly and realized how pathetic her cousin was. Mindy had wanted to win against Sabrina all the time, but how could a woman like this be a match to Sabrina? She lifted her chin up and stared at Mindy fearlessly. "You are hideous!"

"What did you just say?" Mindy grabbed her by the hair, her eyes flaring. 1

Ruth had the time to contemplate and she knew that she might not survive or escape her parents and cousin today. Since there was no chance of survival, she thought it better to speak her mind. After all, Ruth had always been a fearless fierce woman. She used to be unsophisticated and knew no boundaries or shame, so she used to show off and take pleasure in suppressing others. She finally realized that she was the way she was under the influence of her family and her cousin. After spending time with Sabrina and Yvonne, she had learnt what it meant to be courageous and strong. Her face was swollen but the contempt in her glare remained.

"I said, not only are you hideous, you are pathetic!" she said, loud and clear, "do you know just how pathetic you look right now? Mindy Mann, you have completely gone out of your mind!"
