Chapter 61 Laugh Now, but You Won’t Be Laughing for Long
Ruth observed the mark on Kate’s neck with a glint of satisfaction in her eyes, though she feigned concern as she glanced at Kate, gasping. “Oh, dear! Kate, what happened to your neck? It looks serious!”
She tried to get a closer look as she spoke, but Kate quickly pulled up her collar to conceal the bruise, showing annoyance on her face. “Why all the drama?”
Kate’s voice was raspy, adding to her unpleasant expression as she maintained a serious demeanour.
Ruth found Kate’s irritation amusing, and she was secretly pleased when Kate was upset.
Ha, serves you right for provoking Eric! Why didn’t he just throttle you?
Ruth thought spitefully, yet she appeared worried as she asked, “Kate, did Eric lose his temper over the contract? He’s so intimidating. How could he treat you this way?”
Kate remained silent, adjusting her clothes with a cold expression.
Ruth thought Kate was controlling her emotions well, but she noticed the changes in her eyes.
Laugh now, but you won’t be laughing for long.
Kate’s gaze turned frosty. Righ then, George abruptly entered the room, looking anxious as he addressed Kate. “Madam, something’s wrong! The storage room has been robbed!”
Kate frowned immediately. “What?”
Ruth, too, was taken aback as she uttered somewhat incredulously, “George, are you kidding? Who would dare steal from Summer Estate? They must be looking for trouble.”
George subtly glanced at Ruth, silently mocking himself.
Ha, that thief must have guts, swaggering in here like this.
Kate’s eyes turned cold, her voice a bit rough as she asked, “What’s missing?”
George hesitated. He appeared conflicted for a moment before gritting his teeth and explaining, “Madam, I’m not sure, but the storage room is a mess; it’s clearly been rummaged through… Maybe you should inspect it yourself and figure out what’s been taken.
Kate impatiently replied, “How would I know what’s in the storage room? All the things Eric gave me over the years have been piled up there. How am I supposed to remember everything?”
