My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1885

Yesseca hadn't expected Ruth to bow so deeply towards her.

She quickly helped Ruth up. "Hey, don't do that. I can't bear to see you like this."

Ruth then stood up straight.

Yesseca added, "Besides, I'm not stupid. Yuliana didn't mean to criticize you. She's just making accusations. I can't let you suffer on my behalf."

Ruth felt a warm feeling inside her welling up.

She whispered, "Miss Cowell, you are a good person."

Yesseca smiled, "You're also a good person as well."

Although Yuliana always referred to Ruth as her annoying servant, Yesseca could see that Ruth was actually a good person.

Once, when she nearly fell down the stairs, Ruth came and held her up.

There was a brief flicker of light in Ruth's eyes.

She suddenly felt a lot closer to Yesseca and was compelled to tell her things.

But she soon tossed that idea aside.

If she grew too close to Yesseca, Yuliana would kill her.

Ruth then said, "Miss Cowell, I must go now. I have lots to do today."

Ruth arrived on Yuliana's floor.

Yuliana was waiting for her.

As she watched Ruth approach her, her anger began to grow worse and worse.

She slapped Ruth's face so hard that Ruth's head was flung to one side. There was blood on her mouth.

Drops of blood slowly fell onto the ground.

Ruth was stunned.

She looked at the blood on the floor and fell into a daze.

Yuliana shouted angrily, "How dare you, Ruth! Are you my servant or not? What did you just say to that b*tch?! I walked away, but you didn't follow me. Instead you talked to her. Ruth, you're looking to cause a scene, aren't you? I haven't punished you for some time now, haven't I?"

Yuliana slapped her again.

It was extremely painful.

At this moment, Ruth recalled the things that

Yesseca had said to her.

Ruth suddenly asked, "Madam Yuliana, I'm a human being as well, I had parents who raised me. Why do you hit me like this?"

As soon as she said this, both Ruth and Yuliana were stunned on the spot.

Ruth couldn't believe it. She had dared to say such things to Yuliana.

Yuliana couldn't believe it either.

Ruth had always been obedient to her. No matter what Yuliana said or did, Ruth would silently accept it. But this time, she'd actually dared to question her!

Yuliana was furious!

This must be Yesseca's doing, that b*tch!

No wonder Ruth didn't follow after her immediately. It must have been Yesseca who had twisted Ruth's personality.

Yuliana pointed at Ruth's nose and said, "Why do I hit you like this? Because you're my servant. You were sold into servitude to the Frenandez family and you're destined to work like a horse for the rest of your life. Yet you, Ruth, think you can stand up to me? Wishful thinking!"

"Did that b*tch Yesseca put you up to this? Let me be frank, you really shouldn't compare yourself to Yesseca. Although Yesseca is a b*tch who will soon face her downfall, she at least, has Tremaine to support her. Unlike you, Ruth!"

The verbal abuse continued.

Yuliana's litany of curses flew out of her mouth like a storm.

Ruth kept quiet and didn't speak.

She felt sadness rising in her heart.

Yuliana was right. She couldn't do as she pleased.

She was just a maid.

Yuliana had finally finished scolding her.

Ruth remained silent, which made Yuliana feel more at ease. She then swaggered away.

Ruth stood there blankly, as though she had gone catatonic.

After some time, she felt someone pat her on her shoulder.
