Became A Queen After divorce

“No, please! I will pay back the money, I promise.”

“Please, Ibrahim, just give us a few more days. My sister will find a way.”

The visitor laughed angrily upon hearing this.

“This is your mess. Why should I clean it up for you?”

Ruth strode in, full of resentment. The moment she appeared, Louisa and Saul looked at her as if she were their savior.

“Daughter, you’re finally back. Please save us.”

“Yes, Ruth, think of something. These people said if we don’t come up with the money, they’ll cut off Ryan’s hands and feet.”

Their cries only irritated Ruth. She spoke coldly:

“Then let them cut. It’s not my limbs.”

“What did I say last time? He won’t change, but you all chose to believe him.”

Since that was the case, let them face the consequences themselves!

Accumulated anger finally erupted today. She couldn’t hold back and scolded them fiercely.

“Ruth, don’t speak in anger. The situation has already happened; now is not the time to blame.”

They really treated her like a tool. Whenever there was trouble, they came to her.

But who knew about her grievances?

“Why is it always me? Can’t you survive without me?”

Louisa knew her daughter felt wronged, but she had no means to repay the money; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sought her out.

“Ruth, you have to understand we are family. You can’t just watch us die.”

Louisa was her biological mother, and Ruth couldn’t bear to see her die. But what could she do?

“I already gave you $1, 250 last time. Where am I supposed to find so much money now? Do you want my life?”

She had been expelled from school and didn’t have a penny on her.

Ryan shamelessly said, “Your friend is so rich. Even an unwanted piece of clothing is worth $1, 250. Now it’s just $260, 000; she must have a way.”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Pearl again!

Hearing this name made Ruth feel both angry and helpless.

At this critical moment, it seemed only Pearl could save them.

But she had just had a falling out with Pearl a few days ago. Would Pearl really help if she asked now?

Ruth was unsure.

Ibrahim had lost his patience.

He was here to collect a debt, not to watch a family argument.

“Enough! When will you pay back the money? If not, I’ll cut off this brat’s hand right now.”

As he spoke, he raised the sharp machete in his hand.

Before the knife even fell, Ryan turned pale with fear and stammered, “Mom, save me!”

If Ruth remembered correctly, this was the first time Ryan called her “mom” since their mother married her uncle.

Before this, Ryan always referred to her mother as “that woman” or “hey.”

Ironically, just because of this worthless term of address, the soft-hearted Louisa was moved to tears.

She wiped her tears and assured him:

“Ryan, don’t worry. Mom will definitely save you.”

Then she turned to emotionally manipulate her biological daughter.

“Ruth, if you don’t help us, I’ll sell my kidney or my blood to gather this money.”

“Your brother is only nineteen; he has a future. Can you bear to see him become disabled?”

Many times Ruth wanted to ignore them, but facing her dependent mother, she couldn’t harden her heart.

Biting her lip, Ruth didn’t dare tell them about her fallout with Pearl. Otherwise, these shameless people would become even more reckless.

“I… I’ll ask my friend for help. But I warn you, Ryan, this is the last time!”

“If you make such a mistake again, no matter what Mom says, I won’t help you.”

Hearing her tone, Ryan knew he was saved and immediately stopped crying.

He showed unprecedented respect towards Ruth.

“Sis, don’t worry. This time I’m really quitting for good.”

Meanwhile, Louisa and Saul also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the debt collector Ibrahim remained skeptical. He raised his thick eyebrows and reminded them again:

“Did you hear me clearly? I said $260, 000, not $1, 250. Can you pay it back?”

With the crisis temporarily averted, Ryan started showing off again.

“Of course! My sister knows someone super rich!”

Hearing this, Ibrahim laughed mockingly.

“Oh? What kind of friend can come up with $260, 000 just like that?”

“Tell me. If I find out you’re just stalling for time to escape, I won’t hesitate to burn down your shabby house!”

Ryan continued boastfully: “Haha… You’ll be shocked! Listen carefully; my sister’s friend is Miss Pearl of the Gilliam family!”

As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell around them for two or three seconds.

Just when Ryan thought he had scared Ibrahim with his words, Ibrahim suddenly laughed.

“Hahaha… I thought it was someone important. Turns out it’s the lady of the Gilliam family.”

His tone was dripping with contempt, which surprised Ruth deeply.

Although she knew these casino operators must have some backing,

In Zheemond’s power structure, if the Gilliam family claimed second place, no one dared claim first.

Unless the person behind Ibrahim was even more powerful than the Gilliam family.

The next moment she heard something that made her despair.

“Do you know who backs our casino?”

He paused deliberately for them to guess.

Ruth’s family wasn’t even considered ordinary folks; they had no idea who bigger players were and waited blankly for him to reveal the answer.

“Let me tell you then. Our major backer is-Gilliam family’s Cloud Hall!”

“And do you know who runs it?”

“It’s Miss Libby of the Gilliam family!”

The eldest daughter of the Gilliam family!

Ruth never expected that the person behind the casino was the eldest daughter of the Gilliam family-the same woman she met at the hospital last time.

From their first meeting, that woman left an overbearing impression on her. If she found out Ryan was Ruth’s brother, she’d probably look down on Ruth even more.

For a moment, Ruth hesitated about asking Pearl for help.

Ryan was stunned with fear.

It turned out his creditor was Ruth’s friend’s sister!

This…

“Isn’t that better! My sister has a good relationship with the lady of the Gilliam family. If Miss Pearl talks to her sister, maybe we won’t even have to repay the debt!”

Clueless about anything, Ryan said wishfully.
