"You've even opened a bakery just to seduce them! Both of you have been kicked out of the Quartley Palace, yet you're still trying to seduce the men in it! How shameless! You need to take a good look in the mirror and see how pathetic you two are! That's been your goal from the beginning, you both want to get into Tremaine and Zorion's pants!"
Ruth was going dizzy from anger as she listened to Yuliana's insults.
She couldn't stand it any longer.
If Yuliana wanted to shout at her, she would simply bear it.
But she wouldn't allow Yesseca to be dragged into this!
Yesseca was fighting for her life in the hospital right now! How dare Yuliana insult her!
"Yuliana! Shut your mouth!" Ruth yelled, "Yesseca is fighting for her life in a hospital right now! Her heart could fail at any moment! She could be dead soon! Don't you have any human decency! How can such things about her?! God will punish you for that!"
Yuliana was speechless.
"What?!
"Yesseca was hospitalized?"
"With a heart condition?
"She could die at any moment?
"How was this possible?
She had just seen Yesseca receiving an award in the United States on a television broadcast not too long ago! She was beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous!
How did she end up in a hospital all of a sudden?!
Yuliana gave Ruth the side eye, "Are you lying to me?"
Ruth trembled as she continued, "Yuliana, I'm not as shameless as you to lie about this. Now, if you have even a shred of decency, you'll leave right now! Otherwise I'll... I'll..."
Ruth looked around, then picked up an empty tray, "I'll kill you myself!"
Despite being quite a cowardly person and having feared Yuliana her entire childhood, Ruth stood firm. She wasn't going to continue insulting Yesseca.
But this wasn't over.
Yuliana pondered on what Ruth had told her. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she was that it was true.
The usually weak willed and cowardly Ruth had threatened to kill her when she said that. It had to be true.
Was Yesseca really in the hospital with a heart condition?
Yuliana ordered her men to call all major hospitals in the city to ask if they had a patient by that name.
"I'll find out soon enough."
Her men eventually found that there was a woman with her name and matching description currently being kept in observation in the largest and most advanced hospital in Agaphen City. But strangely, they couldn't find out anything about her condition. Her medical file had been placed under strict confidentiality.
Yuliana was certain that Ruth hadn't lied to her.
"Yesseca is done for this time!"
