Became A Queen After divorce

He mentioned the cage, and Ruth knew which one he meant. It was the one in the garden, housing a patterned python. The snake was Lord Parker’s pet, and his twisted pleasure was feeding it live prey.

Watching those creatures desperately flee, he would stand by and laugh heartily.

Ruth feared snakes; she had a psychological shadow from them.

She didn’t want to be locked up with such a cold-blooded creature.

“I… I don’t want to be locked in the cage.”

“Pearl will definitely come. I’m her only friend.”

“She promised me. She will come, she will…”

Friend?

Lord Parker sneered disdainfully.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Only someone as foolish as Pearl would believe in the word “friend.”

“You wretched woman, you betrayed her without hesitation to save your own life, and yet you dare to call yourself her friend.”

Lord Parker’s words were a slap in Ruth’s face, making her blush with shame.

It was true she betrayed Pearl, but that was because Pearl implicated her first.

And what right did he have to accuse her?

If it weren’t for him, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

“I…”

“Enough, I don’t want to hear your voice anymore.”

“I’ll give you one more hour. If Pearl doesn’t show up within an hour, you can wait for death!”

Ruth knelt humbly on the side, not daring to speak further.

Her life was now in Miss Pearl’s hands, and she could only silently pray that Pearl would arrive within the hour.

Lord Parker had no such worries. He called for a pair of foreign sisters to indulge himself.

The scene was so debauched it was unbearable to watch.

An hour later, a cute and charming girl with a hot figure appeared outside the Hotspring Resort.

Men passing by thought she was staff and tried to approach her, but she glared at them angrily.

“Get lost, or I’ll slap you!”

The man, bold in thought but timid in action, immediately fled.

She had just sent Sasha back to Red Maple Villa and drove over. Upon arriving at Hotspring Resort, she couldn’t find any trace of Ruth.

Worried that something had happened to Ruth, Pearl quickly took out her phone to call her.

Unexpectedly, while she was searching her contacts, someone else tried to hit on her, proving this place was far from respectable.

Meanwhile, Ruth finally received Pearl’s call and almost cried with relief.

“She’s here! She’s here!”

“Can I leave now?”

Lord Parker had promised her that if she brought Pearl over, she could leave.

Upon hearing this, the man rolled off the blonde woman beside him and looked at Ruth with a smirk.

He knew all along that she was a dog who obeyed outwardly but not inwardly. Leaving was only a matter of time.

“Of course, my word is good. You can leave now.”

“Release her chains.”

At his command, the bodyguard behind him stepped forward, dragging Ruth by the thick black chain to his side.

He then unlocked the chain with a key.

This chain that bound her also symbolized her dignity as a person.

Now that it was removed, it represented Ruth’s newfound freedom.

However, her joy lasted less than three seconds before her long-awaited freedom shattered.

The two black-clad bodyguards who unlocked her chain immediately pinned her shoulders and dragged her out of the room.

“Let me go! Where are you taking me?”

“No, let me go! Lord Parker promised me. He said…”

Her loud voice angered the two men.

“Shut up! Do you think you can influence Lord Parker’s decisions?”

“Exactly. We released you but never said we couldn’t capture you again.”

She had been too naive. She should never have trusted a devil’s lies from the start.

Now that Miss Pearl had arrived, who knew what Lord Parker would do to her?

At this moment, Ruth deeply regretted making a deal with the devil out of fear for her life.

They gagged her and dragged her to a mysterious dark room with no light or sound.

It was as silent as the primordial chaos of the universe.

Loneliness, solitude, cold… All terrifying negative emotions flooded in like a deluge at this moment.

Ruth could clearly feel the air diminishing bit by bit. She guessed the people outside had sealed the doors and windows.

In such a confined space, she would gradually die from lack of oxygen.

For now, Ruth could only slow her breathing and wait for Pearl to rescue her.

On the other side, Pearl received a reply from “Ruth,” asking her to go to a specific room on the third floor of the club.

Without hesitation, she stepped into the place.

“Ruth, please be safe. I’m here.”

Seeing her enter Hotspring Resort, someone who had been secretly following her quickly took a photo and sent it out.

[Miss Pearl has entered the club as planned.]

Soon he received a reply from above: [Continue monitoring!]

Miles away at Gilliam Mansion, Libby put down her phone with a pleased smile.

She said to Miss Callahan sitting on the sofa with her, “Pearl has fallen into Lord Parker’s trap. The show is about to begin.”

Camilla quickly praised Miss Libby’s intelligence and wisdom.

“Miss Pearl fell into Lord Parker’s trap without realizing that behind all this, Miss Libby is the true winner!”

“Using Lord Parker’s hatred for Miss Pearl to pressure Mr. Gilliam.”

“When Mr. Gilliam sees Miss Pearl’s incompetence and willfulness, you can step in to resolve things; meanwhile, Miss Pearl’s reputation will be ruined, forcing her to marry her enemy.”

“This two-birds-one-stone plan could only come from someone as wise as Miss Libby. No wonder you’ve managed Cloud Hall for so many years.”

For the strong, compliments are like seasoning.

If a hero had no praise from bystanders, how lonely he would be.

To Libby, Camilla was such an existence. She would be the first witness to her success!

“Hmph, that brainless Pearl. Besides having a good father, what does she have over me?”

“Now we should gather some reporters outside the club. This matter must blow up and become widely known!”

“Hmm, I’ll arrange it.” Camilla readily agreed.

Just as Libby decided to personally go to the club to “catch them in the act,” one of her subordinates suddenly ran over in panic.

“Miss Libby, bad news!”

“Our actions on the train have been leaked. The media is sensationalizing it, and Mr. Gilliam is furious. He wants you to go over immediately.”

Libby’s smile instantly vanished.
