Gianna was the first to complain. “Ruby and her mother despised us for eating too much and wanted to sweep us out of the house. They said that we were forbidden from setting foot in your house again.”
Ruby discarded her image, pointing at Gianna and cursing, “That’s bullshit. It was your son who spilled my skincare products first, and now you’re slandering my best friend.”
Gianna spat on the ground. “Bah! Of all people to befriend, you choose that bitch from the Louis family. She’s shameless, and everyone around here knows the shameful things she has done. Why can’t I talk about it?”
Ruby shouted, “Shut up!”
Andrew yelled at her, “You shut up!”
Ruby looked at Andrew with red eyes full of grievance. “Dad, hasn’t this family sucked enough blood from you? Do you still want to defend them indiscriminately?”
Andrew looked at Ruby, then at his wife who was wiping tears in the corner. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “They’re with August, and he is not around…”
Ruby cut him off. “Is he dead? You’re his brother. Is it your responsibility to provide for them? This is crazy. It’s not like they are disabled. Can’t they make money themselves?”
