Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 2370

Whitney sneered. "You're planning on suing me? Then go on, call the cops on me. It just so happens that I was about to sue you people for illegally imprisoning our Roxie and abusing her!"

When all was said and done, Bebe was just a young lady from a rich family who had never experienced life in the real world before. She was shocked upon hearing Whitney’s words.

Whitney walked up to Roxie, and seeing that she looked to be on her last breath, Whitney shook her head and sighed. "Come home with us, Roxie."

Roxie shook her head and smiled as she said, "I still can’t go home with you yet, Sis-in-law."

Whitney was puzzled. "Why's that, Roxie? They don't even treat you as if you’re their family."

Roxie said, "I know. That's why I can't go home."

Madam Banners was stunned for a moment. Roxie's words sent a chill down her spine. She initially thought that Roxie returned home merely because she was longing for her father's love. Now, she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.

After all, Charles was not at all kind toward Roxie since all of his love was given to Bebe. Madam Banners could not fathom why Roxie insisted on staying in the Banners' house.

They did not treat her kindly either. They starved her and had been cursing at her for the past two days. It was up to the point that Roxie was almost starving to death. Now that her savior was here, she barely cried nor complained about her grievances. Instead, she still calmly insisted on staying.

Roxie's abnormal behavior made Madam Banners feel uneasy.

"Go with her, then!" she yelled at Roxie.

In the beginning, Madam Banners expected Roxie to bring their family fortune. However, seeing how much of a scrooge Roxie was and how she guarded the wealth given to her by the Ares family, she knew that i t would be difficult to gain any benefits from Roxie.

Now, she actually felt that Roxie was nothing but a burden. She wished Roxie would leave the Banners household.

Roxie looked at her with a smile and reminded

Madam Banners, "If I go back to the Areses and my parents see me in this state, do you truly think they'll let you off the hook?"

Madam Banners was startled.

She was right. Roxie has only been back in the Banners household for two days but she was already being driven to the point of being more dead than alive. How could Sir Ares let her go for this?

Madam Banners suddenly stopped bantering.

Bebe, the immature girl, looked unafraid and said, "It's not like you're really dead. You're just a little hungry. Can the Areses even disregard the law and want our heads just because of that?"

Whitney was rather amazed by Bebe's ignorance.
