Became A Queen After divorce

“Boom-”

In the first second of the meeting, Duke Austen angrily slammed the table with a loud noise.

“How dare people from the Gilliam family come here!”

Facing Duke Austen’s anger, Sam remained calm and composed, standing still until everything quieted down before speaking:

“Duke Austen, please calm your anger. Let me introduce myself first.”

“I’m Sam from Chulae. I’m here today on behalf of Mr. Gilliam to visit Lord Parker.”

Before he could finish speaking, Duke Austen’s disgust towards him deepened, solely because of the mention of “Chulae”.

“Shut up! People from the Gilliam family have the nerve to come see my son, and… The thing I hate most in my life is cunning Chulae people.”

He had suffered losses from Chulae people both in business and politics, which made him even more displeased with Sam.

However, Sam remained calm and composed, his demeanor unwavering.

“Duke Austen dislikes Chulae people, that’s something I can’t change. Perhaps it’s because we are too powerful.”

“You!”

“Duke Austen, don’t be angry, I’m just speaking the truth.”

“I’m here to visit Lord Parker, firstly to express the apologies of our Gilliam family, and secondly, to explain the misunderstanding.”

With these words, Sam clapped his hands and softly said:

“Come in.”

Soon, two young thugs with blonde hair appeared at the door, followed by a beautiful long-haired girl in white, with a pure and lovely demeanor.

When Pearl saw the girl’s face, she was startled.

“It’s Ruth!”

“Why did Sam bring her here too?”

Ruth was her good friend, and for a moment, Pearl couldn’t decide whether she should go in or not.

“Well, let’s see how it goes first.”

Then she saw the two blonde youths neatly placing the gift boxes they were carrying on the ground.

“Open them.”

An order.

As the lids were lifted, the room was immediately filled with a golden glow, almost blinding everyone present.

Duke Austen took a closer look and saw that the boxes were filled not with anything else, but with neatly stacked gold bars.

There were three large boxes, each weighing at least fifty kilograms.

“So much gold!”

Even as a duke of a country, he had never seen so much gold at once.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“But don’t think you can settle this matter with just a few coins.”

His son had not only suffered physical injuries this time, but also a blow to his dignity as a man!

“Ah, Duke Austen, don’t be impatient. As I said, my second purpose for coming here today is to clear up the misunderstanding between us.”

“So, I specially invited one of the parties involved to come here today. Miss, please begin.”

After saying this, Sam stepped aside and gave his place to the girl next to him.

When Ruth woke up this morning, she suddenly saw two men standing outside her door, holding photos and looking for her everywhere.

At first, she thought they were sent by Duke Austen’s mansion to seek revenge, and she was so scared that she hid and didn’t dare to admit anything.

It wasn’t until they identified themselves as members of the Gang of Tigers that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she was brought here.

As soon as she entered the room, she was attracted by Sam’s tall and slender figure. Wasn’t he the one who saved her and Pearl at the bar that night?

Ruth remembered that he took Pearl away in the end.

And now he was here, but where was Pearl?

After Sam finished speaking, he turned to look at her, his deep and gentle eyes as elegant and mysterious as sapphires.

Ruth couldn’t help but be drawn to him, her mind going blank and her words becoming stuttered.

“I, I’ll say it. That night was my 22nd birthday, and Pearl booked a private room at the bar and invited friends to celebrate with me.”

“Halfway through, I had a few drinks and accidentally bumped into a young man on my way back from the bathroom. At that time, I didn’t know he was Duke Austen’s son.”

“I apologized immediately, but Lord Parker stopped me and wouldn’t let me leave.”

“He said his shoes were expensive and wanted me to… sleep with him to settle the matter.”

It was true that Ruth’s family was very poor, but she wasn’t the kind of woman who had no bottom line for money. She refused Lord Parker on the spot.

He was obviously motivated by lust, and the shoes were just an excuse.

Lord Parker was known for his womanizing ways. Whether it was a natural beauty or a transgender person, as long as he fancied them, he could have them.

Ruth’s refusal made him lose face, so he sent someone to stop her and tried to force her.

With his status, even if people around saw it, they wouldn’t dare to speak up for justice.

“In the end, it was my friend who saved me. Pearl acted for my sake.”

“So, if Duke Austen wants to blame anyone, blame me. This has nothing to do with Pearl.”

In fact, Ruth was very scared. She had never been to such a high-class place in her life.

Even the extravagant bar, if it weren’t for Pearl, she probably wouldn’t even be able to reach the doorstep.

Not to mention seeing Duke Austen, a person of high status and power, with her own eyes.

After hearing the whole story, Duke Austen’s attitude did not soften as expected.

On the contrary… the chill emanating from him became more and more intense, and the temperature in the ward dropped sharply, as if being in an ice cellar.

“Are you saying that all of this is my son’s fault, that he deserves to be lying in the hospital now?”

His sharp questioning frightened Ruth, and she stood there at a loss, twisting her skirt nervously with her hands.

“I… I didn’t mean that.”

Ruth subconsciously stepped back behind Sam, feeling somewhat reassured by the faint scent of him.

But the next moment, he moved away.

Not too close, not too far, just three meters away.

“Duke Austen, there’s no need to trouble this young lady. I invited her here to explain that the cause of the incident was not Lord Parker’s fault.”

“The fact that Lord Parker was seriously injured is also partly the fault of our Gilliam family. Please, Duke Austen, take into account the youth and inexperience of our Pearl and show some leniency.”

After Sam finished speaking, Pearl, who was hiding by the door, rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

“Makes me so angry! It was clearly that thug’s fault. Besides, where am I young and inexperienced? I was just acting bravely.”

If it weren’t for her noticing that Ruth hadn’t come back for a long time and deliberately going out to find someone, she might have already been taken advantage of by that beast.

Lord Parker was notorious for his sexual abuse. Even the most money-loving barmaid in the nightclub would shiver at the mention of him.

Once again, there was a crisp cracking sound in the ward.

It turned out that Duke Austen angrily smashed the vase on the cabinet, and shards flew everywhere.

Seeing that she was about to get hurt, Sam instinctively stepped aside.

The porcelain shards happened to fall on Ruth’s arm, leaving a bloody mark.

The girl looked at Sam with a helpless expression in her eyes.
