Jada raised her head and stared quietly at her daughter.
“Mom, why are you looking at me like that...?” Ruth was a little scared. “I didn‘t say anything wrong.
She was being pretentious, completely unlike someone who has been living under someone else‘s
roof...”
“When Jack insulted Adeena, were you the one who instigated it?” Jada asked slowly. “I just heard
Jack call Adeena a whore. Were you the one who told him Adeena had kids?”
Ruth felt really guilty, but she remained stubborn. “It‘s not like I lied. Adeena did give birth to a child.
Didn‘t you tell me this yourself?”
Slap!
Jada slapped her.
“Mom, why did you slap me?!” Ruth cupped her face. “I only told Jack the truth. What did I do wrong? I
grew up with Jack, but you made us break up! That‘s not all! You‘re going to stick Jack with someone‘s
used goods, and I’m just kindly reminding him of that, can‘t I?”
“Because of you, that child in Adeena‘s stomach was taken out at seven months. And because the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbaby was underdeveloped, the child died prematurely two hours after birth. First, Adeena saved your
life. Second, because of us, her flesh and blood is dead!” Jada said every word slowly, “We owe her a
debt of two lives, so we must take her in! Why can‘t you understand this?!”
Ruth gritted her teeth.
Every time she and Adeena quarreled, her mother would always lecture her with this line of reasoning.
She spoke through gritted teeth, “Even if we‘ve let her down, you can‘t set up Jack like this…”
“Someone like Jack would never be good enough for Adeena,” Jada said coolly, “The Finnian family is
the most powerful family in Cloud City, that‘s why I let Adeena marry into their family...”
It was only when she had the highest social standing in Cloud City would Adeena be able to find her
family.
The Willis family‘s debt to Adeena was too great. “Hmph! She‘s going to get a deal marrying Jack!”
Ruth said indignantly, “Just because she saved me, she gets to be adopted into our family and become
a rich lady who‘s the center of attention in Cloud City? She‘s the one benefitting from this situation!
Mom, you‘ve already done your part arranging everything for her, our family doesn‘t owe her anymore.
Don‘t make me make any more compromises for her!”
Jada shook her head. “When we get home, I have something to show you. Then, you‘ll understand.”
Ruth covered her face and reluctantly followed Jada home.
When they reached the mansion, Jada took a sandalwood case from her bedroom. As soon as she
opened it, a brilliant light shone from inside.
“Wow, what beautiful jewelry!”
Ruth took the items out of the box and caressed them admiringly.
There were a pair of white jade pearl earrings, a navy blue sapphire necklace, and an emerald green
jasper bracelet.
“Do you know what these are?” Jada said softly, “When your father took Adeena home back from the
beach, she was wearing all this jewelry.” When she heard this, Ruth immediately threw the jewelry
back. “They must be fake.”
“We thought they were fake, too. Your father took them to a jewelry store for an appraisal, and they‘re
as real as it gets,” Jada said, “This necklace is the Heart of the Ocean. It was released many years
ago, and there‘s only one of its kind in the whole world. These earrings are a limited edition that went in
season seven or eight years ago, and they‘re not cheap. The price when they were released was
probably over eight million dollars... And this bracelet, it‘s an antique from ancient Cairnstan, and it‘s
worth more than twenty million....”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRuth was utterly flabbergasted. The Willis family may be rich, but the most expensive jewelry she
owned did not even cost one million
