Chapter 271 Retribution for Provoking
After a pause, she then asked, "Reggie has been busy these days for your family, and you don't trust him?”
Even though Lacie hadn't said anything just now, she could see at a glance that this woman didn't believe her at all.
And since she had asked this, Lacie immediately pulled long her face.
She nodded apologetically at Reggie first, "Minister Holmes, I'm sorry, it's not that | dont trust you, but | can't trust her.”
With that, she looked at Ruby and gave a sneer.
"You are young and don't look like you have any skills, how dare | trust you to save my life?”
Hearing that, Ruby hooked up a sneer nonchalantly.
"Oh, really? Then I'm curious, who do you think can save your life? It has to be an old man and woman of advanced years with grey hair? Stereotypes are not acceptable.”
"Humpht" Lacie let out a soft snort, "Even without the stereotype, you're not even close to a healer! How could | possibly put my life in your hands?
Wouldn't that be self-destructive?”
Tina was helping out at this point.
"Yes, Madam, | thought she was suspicious, that's why | tried my best to stop her, even Minister Holmes was fooled by this woman, so we can see that this woman is definitely not simple!”
Reggie wrinkled his eyebrows, feeling that he could not make sense to these two women at all, and could not help but feel a headache.
"Miss Harold really can save your life, she saved Mr. Marsh's life!”
At that, Lacie still looked suspicious, "Really? Where is my husband now? Where is he?"
Reggie immediately replied, "Now Mr. Marsh is out of danger, but he still has to rest for a few days before he can come back. He is still in Sea City, and when he has completely recuperated, he will be able to come back and reunite with you.”
However, Lacie’s face looked odd after hearing this, clearly still distrustful.
"Minister Holmes, that means my husband hasn't completely recovered? What if she has only superficially made my husband show signs of
improvement, but has not actually cured my husband at all?"
Ruby ran out of her patience in the end.
"Since you don't trust me, | don't want to force you, do what you like, and if you want to die, | will just leave you alone.”
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Levi respected her opinion very much, and he followed her wherever she went.
Seeing this, Reggie hurriedly stopped them.
"Wait! Miss Harold, don't go! What will happen to this family if you leave?”
Delicately, Lacie laughed coldly, her face full of contempt.
"Heh, in a hurry to run away now? You think our house is a place you can go and leave as your wish? You have to see who you are fooling! Do you think I'm stupid?"
As if she had heard some funny joke, Ruby burst out laughing.
She turned her head and looked at Lacie with a condescending look, her eyebrows teasing.
“Are you not a fool? Or do you feel you're shrewd? Why do you have that illusion?”
"You-" Lacie had never been sarcastic like this before, and her blood pressure rose at the sound of this, so she raised her voice and shouted,
"Someone! Arrest her and take her to the police station! How dare you fool me and talked harsh words to me.
T will never let you off the hook!"
As her words had only just fallen, the bodyguards lurking around immediately came at the sound of her voice, blocking the doormay.
Reggie didn't expect things to turn out like this.
He had never been a good speaker, and even worse at arguing with people, and when faced with Lacie'’s nonsense, there was nothing he could do.
Levi was quick to react, immediately pulling Ruby behind him for protection, his eyebrows sunken,
When the bodyguards stepped forward, he immediately struck, with a vicious move that put the men down soon.
Because he had only just undergone surgery, his wounds had not recovered well, and with such a big movement, his body was suddenly a bit overwhelmed.
Noticing that he stumbied slightly in his final movements, Ruby looked at his slightly pale face and his face suddenly went cold, as if covered with a layer of cold frost.
At that moment, without saying a word, she took a few big steps to the edge of the bed and looked at Lacie from a high position, she raised her hand and gave Lacie a slap.
Lacie did not expect her to do this and was instantly stunned, her face half tilted and her ears buzzing.
After a few seconds, she reacted and twisted her head to glare at Ruby.
“How dare you - how dare you hit me!*
Ruby laughed coldly, "Why don't I dare? It's you I'm beating up! Do you think I'm willing to come to your family, do you think
I'm willing to save your life? If Reggie hadn't invited me here, I wouldn't have bothered to come. It's a waste of resources for you to be alive!”
"You ...... YOU..."
Lacie had never been so aggrieved, she was so angry that she couldn't even speak, he couldn't even breathe well, and she coughed hard.
Seeing her anger, Reggie hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, "Miss Harold, dont be angry ......"
Ruby swept a glance at him, her eyes without a trace of temperature, and said in a cold voice, “Reggie, I have given you enough respect and I have come. Now you have seen the situation, it is not that I do not save her, but she does not need to me save her. In that case, there is no point in forcing them."
At this point, the corners of her mouth curled up in a sneer.
"I wonder if that person's sins have caused retribution to the Marsh family.”
As her words fell, she pulled Levi with her and left as fast as she could, ignoring Reggie's obstruction.
There were still intermittent curses from Lacie behind her, but Ruby ignored it.
It wasn’t until she walked out of the Marsh’ mansion and stood at the curb that she let go of Levi's hand and turned to survey him, her brow knitted.
“Are you all right? Does the wound hurt?”
Levi did not reply, but only half-lidded his eyes, his clear eyes staring straight at her, a smile flashing abruptty in his deep eyes.
Seeing this, Ruby was uneasy, “Why do you keep staring at me?"
Levi's hooked his lips, “I am okay, and I am happy. You just vent out anger for me, you love me, right?"
