"Do you mean you refuse to leave the Jones Family?" Harriet was a little angry. What if Arya steadfastly refused to sign?
Arya's attitude made Henry very unhappy. He felt that she was threatening him.
"You have to sign today!" He was spitting mad.
Harriet grabbed the corner of Arya's shirt. "Are you doing this deliberately to anger Henry?"
Arya shook her hand away and snapped, "F*ck off."
However, as soon as she finished her words, the tall and thick door of the villa was suddenly pushed open. Rufus walked in. Seeing him, Harriet raised a bleak smile.
Arya's face turned pale immediately. She looked at Harriet and said, "You set me up..."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Harriet denied it unthinkingly.
Although Henry was furious, he questioned in a calm voice, "We didn't invite anyone in. Isn't it rude of you to barge in like this? Is that what your father taught you?"
Rufus's eyes fell on Arya directly, "I'm here for her."
Harriet crossed her arms around her chest and looked at them with amusement.
"The Jones Family doesn't want you. I want you. I told you, I'm no worse than Xavier and the Gates Family is as good as the Jones Family in both power and status. Why not leave this place where everyone treats you so badly..."
"Get the hell out of here!" Arya trembled and pointed to the door. "Now!"
She used all her strength to shout these words.
"What do you have to say for yourself? You think we're stupid and deaf?" Harriet asked stridently.
Henry had wanted to solve this secretly. The sudden presence of Rufus startled him.
Ryan had gone back to the villa instead of the Old Residence after being discharged from the hospital. Why?
Was it because of Rufus?
Did she know the Gates Family? He had thought about accepting her and warned her to stay away from the Gates Family, but what had she done?
Henry was so disappointed that he didn't care about decency now. He desperately wanted to dissociate Arya from the Jones Family.
"If the news was fake, what about now? How do you explain it?" Henry calmed down and asked. The only thought in his mind was that Arya didn't deserve to be one of the Jones Family.
She was too indiscreet to do anything properly.
"What are you doing?!" Daisy showed up at the door.
She hadn't seen Henry and Harriet at lunch. Thinking of the news this morning, she guessed that Henry must have come to the villa. When she walked to the door, she saw this scene in the room. What were they doing?
Where Rufus stood was very conspicuous. Daisy spotted him first and her face darkened. He'd come to peter Arya once and had actually broken into the house today.
Daisy walked in. Appeasing Henry was the most important now, so she ignored Rufus and said, "What..."
"Shut up!" Henry ranted, his chest heaving in rage. He glared at Arya and asked severely, "Can you stop making a scene? Do you think we can accept someone like you as our daughter-in-law?!"
Daisy roughly knew why Henry was so angry.
Bridget came with Daisy and knew why Henry was so angry too.
Bridget glanced coldly at Rufus and then fixed her eyes on Arya, "What happened? Why is Rufus here?"
Arya struggled to pull herself together and looked around at those people in the room. She didn't think they would believe her even if she told the truth.
How she wished someone could stand by her side, support her, and trust her at this time.
She slowly lowered her head and looked at her lower abdomen. What was she going to do?
'Xavier, what should I do?'
"Since they detest you, why don't you leave them?" Rufus said pointedly at this time to make Henry hate her.
'When Xavier comes back, his wife is no longer his wife. What would the expression on his face be?'
Rufus was exhilarated by the thought. He had never defeated Xavier. He had to win today.
"I'll sign!" Arya's voice was not loud, but it echoed through the living room.
She couldn't stand the slanders of Rufus anymore. There was no telling how he would smear her if she didn't stop this farce now.
She tramped to the desk. The tears she'd choked back finally streamed down her face.
"Arya." Bridget felt very distraught. She didn't know how things had become like this.
