Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 

Ruth’s eyes sparkled with confirmation that Valerie was indeed wealthy. She regretted asking for only 40 thousand dollars last time as it was indeed too liule. 

Just as she was about to demand the 20 thousand dollars from Valerie, she heard 

and Valerie sneer. 

“I thought we had settled everything at the last banquet. Since everyone wants to play dumb, let me make it clear again. I have no ties with any of you anymore and won’t give you this 20 thousand dollars. 

After saying that, Valerie grabbed Katherine’s hand and said, “Katherine, let’s go 

Katherine was secretly pleased to see Valerie’s firm stance as she was already tired of these selfish people. When Ruth and Melinda tried to intervene and block their way. Katherine even stepped on their feet with her high heels, causing them to yelp in pain and using this distraction to pull Valerie away. 

Touching her sore feet, Melinda was in so much pain and wanted to curse. But compared to venting her anger, she knew the most important thing now was to get Valerie to pay up. 

Turning to Ruth sarcastically, she said, “Ruth, Valerie has grown bold, and she won’t listen to you anymore, will she 

Ruth couldn’t stand anyone challenging her authority, especially alter Valerie’s actions had made Ruth a laughingstock, fueling her anger even

Ruth didn’t have the money to pay back. Meanwhile, Oscar had been spending days at the casino and it was already a blessing that he didn’t owe money, let alone asking him to pay the debts. 

Selling the house was out of the question for Ruth because it was a matter of pride. If she lost it, she’d be the subject of ridicule by her relatives. As for Julian, who had a family of his own, Ruth wasn’t willing to let him pay, so she thought that Valerie had to pay up. 

Ruth gritted her teeth and said, “Melinda, don’t worry. I raised Valerie myself and I have ways to deal with her. Since she’s wealthy, I’ll make sure she pays up.” 

Ruth’s brother, Clark Stone, approached them with a sinister smile, suggesting. “Ruth, if you want to deal with Valerie, I have a way to make her pay obediently.” 

“Clark, you’re not going to ask her directly, are you? No way. Ruth thought of Matthew and quickly stopped Clark in fear, thinking that Matthew was too scary. Although she knew that Matthew was just a taxi driver, for some reason, he gave her a terrifying feeling every time. Hence, Ruth was afraid that if Clark met Matthew, Clark would end up in tears
