My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1956

Tremaine's pupils grew larger the more he thought about this situation, until eventually he blinked and appeared calm again.

His pupils had returned to normal.

He had a gut feeling that something wasn't right in this situation.

But now, he had come up with the best way to resolve it.

After having such a long political career, he had learned that sometimes being right or wrong wasn't the most important thing after all. Balance was the most important thing to uphold.

Tremaine then said, "Ruth, in that case, you are forbidden from ever stepping into the Quartley Palace from now on."

Ruth nodded at Tremaine, and replied weakly. "Thank you, Mr. President."

Ruth returned to her bedroom to pack her things.

She realized that she didn't have a lot of things to pack up after all.

She had lived with Yuliana in the Quartley Palace for such a long time, but only had a few articles of clothing and a few memorabilia with her. She could fit everything in a single backpack.

Just as Ruth was about to zip up her backpack, the door swung open.

Yuliana stepped in.

She said in a somewhat strange tone, "Ruth, despite everything, I will miss you. You seduced Zorion and slept with him. I didn't just convince Tremaine to let you off easy but have also prepared a sum of money for you. See how kind of a master I am to you!"

After that, Yuliana took out a thick stack of money from her bag and threw it on Ruth's bed. "Take the money."

Ruth didn't even look at it.

She said, "No, I'm still young. I can manage after once I've left the Quartley Palace. I don't need your money."

Yuliana snorted.

She didn't want to give it to her but she had made a deal with Ruth and she was going to keep her side of the deal.

Since Ruth didn't want it, then she'd take it back.

Yuliana said, "Ruth, you should know you've just refused my kindness, so don't say I never looked out for you."

Ruth ignored her.

She then said, "Madam Yuliana, please take good care of Mr. Zorion once I've gone. He is very sincere towards you. Although he is mentally challenged, he is very sincere and loyal to you."

She knew that it wasn't her place to say these things to Yuliana.

But she couldn't help herself.

Because she wasn't disappointed with being kicked out from the Quartley Palace.

She was only concerned about Zorion.

Yuliana's face fell the moment she heard Ruth say this. She replied, "Ruth, how Zorion and I live our lives is none of your business. Especially after what you've done to us! You think you know him better than me after you've slept with him? You even dare to lecture me about this?"

Ruth didn't respond. She simply lowered her head and walked out of her bedroom.

When she reached the corridor, she bumped into someone.

It was Zorion.

He was standing on the stairs as he stared at Ruth.

Ruth felt as though someone had stabbed her heart with a knife the moment she saw him.

She silently opened her mouth.

She wanted to say something to him, but didn't know how to say it. She also felt that it wasn't her place to say any of it in the first place.

Ruth lowered her head and walked down the stairs heavily.

As she walked past Zorion, he suddenly called her name, "Ruth."

Just then the thick tension in the air exploded completely.
