"You say it again." Ruby looked at Spencer with an expressionless face, her voice coldly exhaled from her slightly opened thin lips.
Spencer, however, looked at Ruby as if he was relieved, and his smile became more and more unrestrained and crazy: "Ruby, you are not my biological daughter at all, I knew from the very beginning that your mother already had you inside her belly when she married me, if it wasn't because I was able to accept all this, why do you think she, a rich lady, would have married a man like me who had nothing?"
Ruby didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly and listened as he continued to speak.
The old days were still fresh in his mind, and Spencer's eyes were filled with reminiscence and a touch of tenderness: "At that time, your mother was young and beautiful, and her family was also well-off. Although the Grant family had just arrived in Sea City, they were already one of the top gentry in Sea City, and your grandparents were of very distinguished status. It was your mother who told me that as long as I married her so that you could be born in name only, I would be given half of the Grant family's fortune, so I agreed."
"I originally thought that after I married her, even if we couldn't have peace and harmony as a couple, we could at least be respectful of each other, but it turned out that we were really respectful of each other, and she never even looked at me directly, she didn't have any feelings for me at all."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as there is money. I relied on the money she gave me to start the Harold Group, and I hoped she would help me, but she treated me with great disdain, even mocking me and belittling me, and I hated her! I hate her for her callous indifference, and I hate her even more for using and cheating me! What is most unacceptable to me is that after the marriage, she wouldn't let me touch her at all, yet she ended up giving me a son, hahaha, that's the greatest shame a man can have, isn't it?"
"I know you hate me, you feel that I have wronged you mother and daughter, that I have killed her, but you are really wrong to blame me, when Susan found your mother, she was already badly injured. I admit that we did not do anything to save her, but her death cannot be said to be directly caused by us, it was her who had already offended someone a long time ago. I think that the most likely person to have killed her would have been someone on your father's family."
Spencer's eyes were about to open when he finished, and he struggled to keep them open, looking at the ceiling overhead as if he were back in that sunny afternoon.
That was the first time he saw Nellie, and from then on, he believed in love at first sight.
"Shut up! You shut up! Don't say another word!" As if she was mad, Amelia heard Spencer say those words and lifted her foot and stomped down viciously towards his body.
Ruby narrowed her eyes.
It was one thing for her to hate Spencer, but it was quite another to watch him die in front of her.
Whether what Spencer said was true or not, he couldn't just die like that.
The truth about the Grant family's revenge and the death of Nellie was known only to Spencer and Susan.
"Amelia, did I say you could kill him?" Ruby’s pretty face was slightly cold as she lifted her feet and took a step towards Amelia.
"Don't you come any closer! Ruby, I don't care if you and he are biological father and daughter or not, as long as word gets out that you didn't save him, you'll definitely lose your reputation! If you dare to come up here again, I'll kill him!" Amelia looked at Ruby, her face full of fear.
She had to admit that she was instinctively afraid of Ruby! It was clear that Ruby did not do anything, but just that calm attitude was enough to strike fear into her heart.
