Chapter 431
When she heard that woman call her name, Valerie realized that woman knew her. After a closer look, she realized it was Ruth!
While Valerie was shocked, she could not help but frown.
It had only been a few days since they last met, but this woman, whom she had called her “Mother” so many times, was in such a sorry state!
Her hair was a mess, and she stank all over. Valerie didn’t know where she slept, but her clothes were dirty. Those who didn’t know better would think she was a beggar!
At this moment, Ruth looked at Valerie, whose face was rosy. After not seeing her for a while, Valerie seemed to have become even prettier. Her entire body emitted a gentle glow.
Valerie stared at her suspiciously. “How did you become like this?”
Ruth looked at Valerie and lowered her head. After some hesitation, she stammered, “It’s all because of the last time. You left. I owe Melinda money. Originally, originally…
She couldn’t say it. She originally wanted to get Valerie’s house, but she became the target of criticism from the netizens
Now i
that Melinda was asking her to return the money, how could she have money?
Valerie smiled. “Ms. Stone, you know that my patience is limited. If you don’t say anything, I’ll leave
She was still busy buying breakfast. Ruth didn’t have a job, but she had to go to work!
Seeing that Valerie was about to leave, Ruth quickly stopped her. “Don’t, don’t. Valerie. I’ll tell you everything. I originally wanted to ask your uncle for money, but he didn’t give it to me. When Melinda saw I didn’t have money, she disreganded our relationship as relatives and sued me!”
When Ruth said this, her eyes were filled with resentment. Valerie found it funny. They don’t care about each other, to begin with. It was obvious from the time they worked together to force me, If1 hadn’t prepared the evidence in advance, 1 probably wouldn’t have been able to escape from that farce
Now that she saw Ruth like this, Valerie shook her head. “Then how did you become like this?”
Ruth could not help but be furious. “The court ruled that I lost They even asked me to return the money.
y. I don’t have the money to return it Melinda applied for enforcement and sold my house! I have no place to go now!”
“What about the old house in the village?” Valerie asked. “It’s not like Ruth does not have a home. Moreover, she was not born in the city. How can she have nowhere to go?
on was indifferent. It was apparent that she did not believe a single word Ruth said.
Valerie’s expression was
When Ruth saw how cold Valerie was to her, she could not help but cry. “You don’t know! I went back. I wanted to continue living like this. Who knew that your father would mock me every day? He even hit me when he was drunk. Look at all the things on me. They were all from his beating when he was drunk”
She rolled up her sleeves. Valerie saw that th
there were indeed bruises on her arms and neck. It seemed that she had indeed been beaten quite badly.
Ruth wiped her tears and sobbed. “Valerie, I regret it now. I shouldn’t have treated you like that back then. Can you forgive me! Please forgive me!”
After saying that, she went forward and wanted to grab Valerie’s hand. Valerie avoided her. Looking at her tears, Valerie thought of her past days, which were so miserable. Now, she knows how scary it is to have nowhere to go. Then, who had thought for me when I was so young and forced by her to make a living alone?
Valerie’s heart ached. She had no choice but to cut ties with such a mother.
She thought, “Now she knows she was in the wrong! It’s too late. Where was Ruth when I needed motherly love the most?
“Ms. Stone, I thought you’ve ended our relationship. Remember what I said last time? We’ve already cut ties said Valerie.
Ruth was afraid of being beaten up. She thought about how she could only return if Valerie ignored her. She did not want to get beaten up again.
When she heard Valerie’s words, she quickly apologized. “Valerie, Valerie, listen to me. I know my mistake. I know that everything is my fault. I deserve it! But I’m your mother. No matter how much you hate me, you can’t leave me alone!”
“Look, look, look” She showed the wounds on her body and said with a long face, “Valerie. If you don’t save or help me, I can’t live anymore
Ruth wailed and grabbed Valerie’s hand tightly. She even got down on her knees and said, “I came to you shamelessly. If you ignore me, I have
