Zeke was somewhat frustrated.

Zeke was somewhat frustrated.

Ruby had been looking down on him ever since he was in school and had even accused him of stealing from his classmates.

Unexpectedly, she still held such a harsh prejudice against him after so many years.

Flustered, Summer hurriedly defended him. “Mom, what are you talking about? Zeke just took his twin brother's place in jail, which means he's innocent.”

“Ha, so what if he's innocent?” Ruby said indifferently. “Back then, he and Hudson were the poorest students in the school who even stole from their classmates. This kind of person has questionable character and is destined to be a loser forever. I don't want you, my daughter, to live like a loser forever. Meanwhile, Charlie is so much better than Zeke is in all aspects. Anyway, you can only marry Charlie as long as I live.”

“It's now the age of freedom of marriage, Mom. You're breaking the law by arranging my marriage,” Summer retorted.

“Cut it out.” Ruby was fuming with anger. “How can you accuse your own mother of committing a crime! You're my daughter, so you have to listen to me in everything. It's all for your own good!”

With eyes welling up with tears, Summer asked, “Why do you insist on me marrying that Humpty? What did he give you in return?”

Humpty said with a smile, “Summer, I don't know if Ruby told you, but I've actually won the contract for the hospital cafeteria. I know Ruby has been wanting to rent a buttery hatch at the hospital cafeteria, and I can easily help her get it. By selling food at the hospital cafeteria, not only will she make more money, but she also won't have to be exposed to wind and rain.”
