She had spent 50 million to get her hands on that writing, which was worth a lot of money, and it was unpleasant to think that it will be given to the Harold family.
Especially now that Ruby was smiling with a villainous smile, clearly happy to have won something good, but she was sad.
But even if she was unhappy, she still had to maintain a smile on her face, so her smile looked a little stiff.
Levi looked at Ruby with some surprise.
He knew his stepmother very well, and she was closefisted. Even for Isabella's birthday, she would not want to take anything out of her private coffers, but she was so generous this time that she gave Ruby that valuable writing.
He couldn't help but look at Ruby, and then his gaze fell on Hattie's face, who was obviously furious inside, but still trying to put on a smile, suddenly he felt in a good mood.
"Sister, how can we have things from others?" Rita finally found a chance to speak up and reminded Ruby.
"This gift is not for me, but for our dad. This is proof that our family is on good terms with the Finn family."
Ruby looked at Rita in surprise and opened her mouth in a serious manner to explain.
Rita's face changed, and it was not good to speak again when she heard this.
It was just that the way Hattie looked at Rita again at this time was completely different.
Since Ruby had to go back on the pretext of Spencer's birthday, she went out with Rita after dinner and left in the Finn family's car.
When Rita got into the car, she pulled long her face and glared fiercely at Ruby, "Ruby, did you do that on purpose?"
"Deliberately what!?" Ruby asked rhetorically, not knowing how to pretend to understand.
"You knew I wanted to stay with the Finn’s, but you deliberately stirred me up to leave! You didn't do it on purpose?" Rita almost couldn't resist slapping Ruby on the face.
Ruby put one arm around her shoulders and explained to her in a serious tone, "Sis, you are wronging me, I am doing this for your own good."
"Oh, you think I believe you? You just can't see me marrying better than you." Rita scoffed at Ruby's words.
Ruby sighed and explained seriously: "Think about it, if you live in the Finn family without a name, what will Hattie think of you? What will the servants of the Finn family say about you? Wouldn't they think that you are shameless and that you are living in the Finn family for a certain purpose?"
Ruby's words were so convincing that Rita actually had no way to refute them and felt that she had a point.
At first she only thought of finding a chance to get close to Lennon, staying in the Finn family is the most direct and effective, she never thought of this point at all.
Now when she was reminded by Ruby, she suddenly broke out in cold sweat and grabbed Ruby's hand with some anxiety, "What do I do now? I've been staying at Finn's house for several days, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Is it useful for me to tell you? Will you believe me? You'll only think I'm screwing you over." Ruby looked innocent, and sighed helplessly.
"Ruby, don't think I'll believe you that you'd be so kind as to want to help me?" Rita grunted.
"If that's the case, then the good show I've carefully arranged for you shouldn't be used. It seems that you are planning to take the test yourself to go after Lennon."
"What! What have you arranged!?" Rita was easily distracted by Ruby's words and asked with a face full of excitement.
Spencer was reading the newspaper while drinking his coffee, and as he threw the newspaper in his hand, he said unhappily, "Your mother is not here."
"Why are you yelling at me?" Rita gave Spencer an inexplicable look.
Only then did Spencer realize that his attitude towards Rita was a bit too much. He took a deep breath and steadied his mind before calming down his attitude, "Nothing, your mother had an accident, she's in the hospital. She's having an operation today, if you want to go to the hospital to see her, you can still make it now."
"What!?" Rita was shocked and didn't care about anything else, she asked the location of the hospital and had the family driver send herself over to the hospital.
Ruby came in wiping her sweat, said hello to Spencer and went straight upstairs.
When she came down, Spencer hadn't left yet, so Ruby knew he must be up to something.
"Dad, is there something you want to tell me?" Ruby asked in a very thoughtful manner.
Spencer immediately looked at Ruby with comfort, he felt that Ruby was really sweet and understanding, unlike Rita, whose heart only went to Susan.
"It's like this, that project of the Finn Group has a problem, can you tell the Finn family not to pursue it?" Spencer rubbed his hands together and spoke with a rosy face.
Ruby was slightly stunned, not expecting Spencer to be so bold, and actually dared to make moves on the project.
"Dad, I'll ask Levi. But he doesn't care about the company now, so I don't know if he can handle it. By the way, I told Hattie that you're having a birthday celebration in a few days, and the Finn family will be here then. If my sister can get on with Lennon, then the company's business, for sure, won't be a problem."
Ruby reminded Spencer of this, and Spencer's eyes lit up as he began to calculate in his mind.
