"Why can't I say that? I like Levi, I want to marry him! Ruby is not good enough for him!"
"Shut the hell up!" Lacie couldn't stand it anymore, her voice was harsher than before, and he even slapped his palm on the coffee table.
"Levi is married! How can you fall for him and say such things! Don't forget your status, you're Miss Marsh, how can you go and be someone's mistress! Besides, Ruby saved our family, and you are standing here because of her medical skills! How can you not be grateful? How can you be so disrespectful to her? Is that what I have taught you?"
After being scolded by her, Josephine gritted her teeth tightly before she finally restrained herself.
But she was still undeterred, full of resentment and jealousy.
"Even if they are a couple, but there are still divorced couples! I don't care if Levi turns out to be a divorced man. Mom, you are right in saying that I Miss Marsh, am I still not good enough for him with my status? He and I are the best match!"
"Stop saying that!" Lacie's eyes flashed with disappointment at her words, and her face was sullen and cold.
"Josephine, I'm telling you, you are not to have these thoughts in the future, nor are you allowed to mention them again, if you dare to do anything disgraceful, I will break your legs!"
"...... Mom!" Not wanting her to be so against it, Josephine was stunned.
At the entrance, Levi’s brow was furrowed and his eyes were covered with boredom, as if he did not want to step inside.
Ruby looked as normal, and playfulness even surfaced in her eyes.
Josephine was not right-minded, but her mother was a person who knew what was right.
She had seen it from earlier when Lacie had been willing to drag herself out with her illness and offer to bow her head and admit her fault.
At that moment, she raised her eyebrows, gave Levi a sideways glance, and then walked in slowly.
Seeing this, Levi had to follow her in, even if he was reluctant.
Seeing her coming, those bodyguards immediately saluted her in unison and greeted her, "Hello, Miss Harold!"
Then there came a greeting to Levi.
Ruby nodded gently, then turned her gaze towards Josephine.
After not seeing her for a few days, Ruby found that Josephine was no longer sickly and much more spirited, her face wearing delicate make-up and she was wearing a yellow dress.
She was a beauty, but not stunning.
Lacie was surprised to see Ruby coming, but she was worried that Ruby had taken in all the words she had just said.
"Miss Harold, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could go out to greet you?"
As the words fell, she hurriedly called out to Tina, "Quick, go and prepare tea for Miss Harold!"
Ruby said, "Don't bother, I've just arrived, I just took the time to come over to review you, if I'm sure there's nothing wrong, I'll leave."
"Leaving so soon? Is it to leave the capital?" At her words, Lacie was surprised.
Ruby, not saying yes or no, looked around the living room and asked, "Where is Bobby? He's not here?"
Lacie immediately replied, "He's in his room resting."
Ruby nodded, "Good, one by one then, you come with me first and tell them both to wait."
Having said that, she went straight towards the study on the ground floor and gave Lacie a check-up.
It was during this time that Levi sat on the sofa in the living room and waited, and Josephine's eyes looked as if they were glued to him, much to his displeasure.
In fact, from the moment he walked in, Josephine's gaze had not left him, imploring and soft.
