Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 36

Violet tried to rebut, but the words got stuck in her throat as it suddenly hit her that she needed to make a living in JA City after all. If she offended Ruth, she was going to have a tough time.

"Carla, I want Terence. If he's here, they would not be able to treat us like that,"

whimpered Sean.

Carla instantly snuggled her little brother, giving him a pat on the back, saying, "Don't worry, Sean. You've got me right here. I can protect you. We don't need anyone's help."

Carla stood up after she said those words, letting go of Sean.

"Ruth, apologize to me and my brother now! This is an opportunity to offer you a way to step down."

The other party-goers got frozen in place, their jaw dropped open. They couldn't believe what they just heard, and burst into laughter when they came to their senses.

"Oh, boy. You're really funny! Ruth, did you hear what she just said?

"She asked you to apologize to her and the poor little boy. This is so hilarious!"

Ruth also chuckled after hearing Carla say those words. Glancing over at Carla, she replied with a cold sneer on her lips, "Carla, I will offer you an opportunity as well. Apologize to me! Right now and in front of everyone! Admit that what you said just now is bullshit. Then I will consider forgiving you. What do you say?"

"Yeah, you need to know your place! Ruth is being so kind as to give you a chance to apologize. You have no idea what could've happened if it were others."

While Ruth was still wearing a smirk, a glass of red wine was suddenly thrown into her face.

The glistening scarlet fluid dripped over her face into her pink-white Channel dress. The wine stain was so conspicuous and easy to spot!

"Ahhh!" Ruth screamed. Rushing toward Carla, Ruth tried to reach her and slap in her face.

Quickly taking one step backward, Carla was able to dodge her hand and get around her. She deftly took up another glass of red wine on the desk and spilled it on Ruth's back this time.

"Ruth, your dress was not pretty enough. I just added some color onto it."

Carla gazed upon her pink-red dress, nodding in her satisfaction, feeling quite amused.

"You look gorgeous in it now. Red and black, just like the heartless person that you are."

Feeling cold at once, Ruth was fuming with anger. She turned around and glared at Carla with murderous intent in her eyes.

"Carla! I will make you regret what you did today! How stupid this is!

I'll make sure you're going to be washed up in JA City, and soon, you would not be able to survive by yourself even in BH City!"

Ruth looked perplexed, her face twitched.

The door suddenly flung open as Ruth was throwing those threats at her.

Ruth's expression became tender when she saw who was entering the room. The resentment that was on her face instantly subsided. She seemed so gentle and soft now, stretching out her arms toward the guest who just arrived, teary-eyed.

"Rhys! Thank god you're here now,"

sobbed Ruth. She got misty-eyed and had an aggrieved expression, making all men want to just hold her or even kiss her and tell her everything was going to be okay.

"Ruth, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

asked Rhys, frowning upon the pitiable sight of his girlfriend. He took off his suit to cover Ruth as he saw her looking so confused and embarassed.

Pointing a quivering finger at Carla, "Rhys, it's her. She gave me a hard time back in the school. And today, she even got the audacity to throw red wine on my dress in front of everyone here... She humiliated me!"
