Chapter 59 Spencer’s Birthday
“Dad, you sent Mom to the North Mountains Sanatorium? How could you send her to a place like that?”
Rita hurriedly entered the door, handing the bag to the maid on the side before rushing over to pull Spencer’s sleeve.
If word got out that she had a psychotic mother, how could she get married?
The fact that Susan was a mistress has been criticized by many people, and now there is such a mess.
Rita gave Ruby a vicious glare, knowing that this matter must have nothing to do with Ruby.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Ruby had an innocent look on her face and did not explain.
“Your mother is sick, and I’m just sending her there to recuperate.” Spencer’s face sank, feeling somewhat displeased at Rita for questioning him so rudely.
In the past, Rita was polite and understanding, and would make him happy, and he was satisfied with this daughter, but now …
Spencer looked at Rita and then at Ruby, and could not help but feel disappointed in his heart.
Rita and Ruby are really too far apart. Genes are important.
Nellie was a lady from the Grand family, educated and reasonable, much better than Susan. Her daughter is the best in every aspect. In this circle of Sea City, there is hardly anyone who can match Ruby’s face.
“But North Mountain Sanatorium is a psychiatric hospital! Can Mom still come out after she goes in? Dad, I beg you, please take Mom back, take her back, okay?” Rita subconsciously argued, grabbing Spencer’s hand again and begging bitterly.
Spencer waved her off, “Let’s talk about this when the birthday banquet is over and your mother has recovered from her illness. Tomorrow night is the birthday banquet, so prepare well and don’t worry about these things.”
Rita was pushed and fell to the ground, looking at Spencer with a disbelieving expression.
Spencer had always doted on her and never be angry with him, but, he repeatedly lost his temper with himself after Ruby returned.
Rita inexplicably felt some panic in her heart.
“Sister, don’t be upset, I think Susan will definitely be fine. Tomorrow is Dad’s birthday banquet, whether you can be Lennon’ wife depends on tomorrow. If the Finn family sees Susan going crazy at home, what will they think? I’ve heard that mental illness has a probability of being contagious.”
Ruby stepped forward and helped Rita up, thoughtfully patting the somewhat frayed hem of her skirt before speaking in a low voice to remind her.
Rita was suddenly jolted and gave Ruby a panicked look before pushing her away, “What are you talking nonsense about! My Mom is not a psycho!”
With that she turned and ran upstairs.
Ruby curled her mouth as she watched her back and sat back down on the sofa.
**
Spencer has invited countless celebrities from Sea City for birthday banquet, and it was only before five o’clock when guests were already arriving one after another.
The Harold’s villa was large enough that the entire hall was sorted out and used as a place to hold banquets. Ruby was currently wearing a smoky grey dress, lazily leaning against the fence on the first floor, looking at the guests downstairs, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Rita was dressed to the nines today, in a white, diamond-encrusted, boat neck gown that set off her delicate and lovely figure.
“Rita, you’re so pretty today, this dress isn’t cheap, is it?”
Eva Chow looked at Rita’s expensive gown with a bit of envy in her eyes.
The Harold family is considered a second-rate family in Sea City, and now that they are in-laws of the Finn family, in this way, they have a promising future, so many people are now bending over backwards to Spencer. Eva’s father has also repeatedly told her to please Rita and get on good terms with her.
“It’s not very expensive, a million or so.” Rita smiled haughtily, but her eyes were focused on the direction of the main entrance.
It was already six o’clock and the Finn family hadn’t arrived yet, so she was anxious and didn’t know if Lennon would really come.
As she was thinking, there was a sudden clamour at the door and her eyes lit up as she ignored Eva and hurried towards the door.
Spencer was already one step ahead of the others at the door to welcome the guests.
The people who came in at the door were none other than Hattie and Lennon, in addition to a man in a wheelchair wearing a mask, Levi.
As soon as these few people appeared, the entire house came alive.
The Finn family is one of the top families in Sea City, so they usually have little chance to get in touch with them, so they naturally won’t miss the opportunity now.
Many eyes in the room fell on Levi’s body, especially on his legs.
The corners of her mouth twitched as Ruby looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair with an air of nobleness, this man actually came to join the fun, and she didn’t know what he wanted.
She thought about it and went downstairs with her glass of wine in her hand.
Her fiancé is here and she should go and greet him.
“Is that Mr. Levi of the Finn family?”
“Yeah, I heard that the accident didn’t just ruin his legs, but his face was disfigured too. Tsk, I wonder how ugly he must look. He’s afraid to see people, and even wears a mask in broad daylight.”
“I guess he’s pretty ugly. He has a disabled leg, I guess he can’t have children. In the future, it looks like he has no hope of inheriting the Finn family.”
The few celebrities who had gathered looked at the man in the wheelchair and judged at him with a very obvious contempt and disdain in their eyes.
Ruby stopped in her tracks and gave a glance at those gossiping women. She walked to them and suddenly sprained the ankle, so she could not stand firm, and her wine spilled towards those gossiping women.
“Ah…”
“Are you crazy?”
“What are you doing!?”
Those women had never expected Ruby to Make a direct move, they were splashed with wine and became sticky.
“Oops, I’m so sorry, I didn’t stand still just now, are you okay? Your clothes are all wet, do you want to go and change?” Ruby had already stood firmly on her feet, and when she saw a few women surrounding her, she spoke with an innocent face and apologized.
She seemed so sincere that several women had the intention of having a fit, but they didn’t dare to make a scene for the sake of the Harold family and the status Ruby now represented.
“Forget it, I won’t bother with you.” Looking at Ruby’s innocent face tinged with apology, they suppressed the anger in their hearts and spoke in a depressed manner.
“No, how much are your clothes, I’ll pay you back.” Ruby took two steps forward and pulled them in.
“No need.”
“Miss Harold, you’d better go and greet the guests, we’ll just go and change ourselves, no need for compensation.”
They were annoyed at the sight of Ruby, seeing how vulgar she was, not up to par at all, and when they said one more word to her, they felt they were humiliating themselves.
They were anxious to get on with their image, after all, there were quite a few famous and noble men here today and they still needed to hook up with them.
“No, no, I’m sure I’ll have to pay for getting your clothes wet. The outfit of yours should be the latest version from the C Brand this year, right? If I’m not mistaken, the price should be around two hundred thousand. I’ll give you two hundred thousand.”
Ruby reached out and tugged at the gown on one of them and said a price.
That woman’s face changed, and she pursed her lips without speaking.
“What brand is this outfit of yours? I didn’t recognize it. Sorry, I haven’t seen any big brands.” Ruby pointed at the clothes on the other woman, “But it’ll count for two hundred thousand.”
“You!”
“For the three of you, I’ll give you a million. All the clothes you’re wearing are mine now, so please take them off and give them to me.”
Ruby handed over a card straight away.
