Chapter 2043
"I have a trauma."
"What's wrong?" Ruth asked.
"It's all because of...Old Master Shaw," said Yvonne with a sigh.
Ruth's tone immediately became agitated. "Yvonne, don’t tell that the d*mned old man is still very forceful and cares about the status and prestige of families! Could it be that he wanted to object to the marriage of you and my cousin?"
Yvonne shook her head. "That's not the case. Old Master Shaw is more honest now. He is also much older now. He doesn't intervene with anything anymore. I often see him running to Gloria's house to sneak a peek at her. In fact, every time I went to the Shaw family's house, the old man would ask me, 'How is Sabrina? How is Aino? Have they forgiven me now?' and so on. I will sometimes find him quite pitiful. However..."
Speaking of that, Yvonne sighed. "Every time I think about how cruel he could treat his own daughter, and how he could help an outsider to viciously harm her own granddaughter and almost have her killed, I just....when I see old Master Shaw, I just feel fearful in my heart. Do you understand that, Ruth? I told myself every day that I had to overcome it, I have to overcome it.
However, once I see old Master Shaw and I recall those things that he had done in the past, I would still be afraid."
Ruth felt very sorry as she looked at Yvonne. "It must have been tough on you, my precious..."
Yvonne sighed again. "So, I wanted to wait—"
"Wait until after the old man has passed away, then only you'll marry into the Shaw family?" Ruth was very blunt.
Yvonne smiled. "I didn't curse him..."
"Pfft...you didn't curse him, I did, alright? Petty girl!" said Ruth with a smile.
Yvonne also laughed as if she had gained a huge advantage.
Isadora, who was seated at the back, was very envious while looking at the two of them talking to each other about everything without any reservation.
Yvonne also noticed that. "Isadora, why aren't you saying anything?"
Isadora was very shy." I...I'm fine with simply listening to the both of you."
"Hey! Isadora, you don't have to be so restrained. Let me tell you something. Both of US, especially Ruth, are carefree people.
Although Ruth speaks out of turn and dared to talk about anybody, she actually is a very frank and simple person. She is just a silly girl, " Yvonne told Isadora.
Ruth then smiled at Isadora. "Isadora, wherever you want to shop or hang out with a friend later on, you can come and find me. Both of us have similar figures. You can certainly fit into my clothes. I will dress you up better in the future."
In fact, Ruth was a person who seemed vulgar and careless on the surface but was actually a meticulous and cautious person at her core. She wanted to say that she would help Isadora to dress a little better and then let her find herself a man. However, once she thought of the fact that Isadora was still hung up on Holden, Ruth was wise enough not to say anything. 1
However, Isadora was very touched and tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you. Thank you, Ruth and Yvonne. I...I have never expected that...both of you are not afraid of me, I had..."
