Chapter 87 Dependency
Simon quickly arranged for Ruth and Holly’s discharge from the hospital.
After all, this private hospital belonged to the Davison Group, and staying there made them feel constantly watched. Furthermore, what would happen if Kate interfered with Ruth’s recuperation, causing permanent harm to Ruth’s hand?
They couldn’t take that risk.
Watching Simon lead Ruth and Holly out of the hospital, Kate leisurely sipped her lemonade, a cold smile playing on her lips.
She observed that the couple was so affectionate with each other. It was obvious they had been together for a long time. Simon’s ability to be so intimate with Ruth while pretending to be deeply in love with Kate was impressive.
Why didn’t Simon pursue an acting career? With his skills, he could win an award for being the
best actor.
George stood behind Kate; the butler couldn’t help but speak up as he watched them leave. “Ma’am, are we just going to let them go?”
Kate chuckled softly and said slowly, “Of course not; the real show is yet to come. Ruth’s hand can’t be ruined so soon. If it were, it would be too simple for her.”
She planned to elevate Ruth and Simon to a high position and then ruthlessly knock them down.
She wanted them to experience the fall from grace, from being on top to being in the dirt.
George shivered slightly at the mocking smile on Kate’s face.
His madam had become more and more like his boss. George could sense the same intimidating presence in Kate that he felt from Eric.
Three days later, Eric finished his business in Belford and returned to Capital City.
During those three days, Kate frequently messaged Eric, sharing snippets of her daily life and bragging about how she dealt with Ruth and Simon.
Even though Eric’s responses were always lukewarm, typically a simple ‘Hmm, Kate remained undeterred. She eagerly shared her updates with him.
When Eric read those messages, a gentleness grew in his eyes. Kate’s presence seemed to gradually warm his heart, and he found himself yearning for her warmth.
Kate…
Eric’s eyes darkened as he pressed his fingers to the center of his brows.
