Chapter 280 You Make a Condition
"Why can't I say that? I like Levi, I want to marry him! Ruby is not good enough for him!"
"Shut the hell up!" Lacie couldn't stand it anymore, her voice was harsher than before, and he even
slapped his palm on the coffee table.
"Levi is married! How can you fall for him and say such things! Don't forget your status, you're Miss
Marsh, how can you go and be someone's mistress! Besides, Ruby saved our family, and you are
standing here because of her medical skills! How can you not be grateful? How can you be so
disrespectful to her? Is that what I have taught you?"
After being scolded by her, Josephine gritted her teeth tightly before she finally restrained herself.
But she was still undeterred, full of resentment and jealousy.
"Even if they are a couple, but there are still divorced couples! I don't care if Levi turns out to be a
divorced man. Mom, you are right in saying that I Miss Marsh, am I still not good enough for him with
my status? He and I are the best match!"
"Stop saying that!" Lacie's eyes flashed with disappointment at her words, and her face was sullen and
cold.
"Josephine, I'm telling you, you are not to have these thoughts in the future, nor are you allowed to
mention them again, if you dare to do anything disgraceful, I will break your legs!"
"...... Mom!" Not wanting her to be so against it, Josephine was stunned.
At the entrance, Levi’s brow was furrowed and his eyes were covered with boredom, as if he did not
want to step inside.
Ruby looked as normal, and playfulness even surfaced in her eyes.
Josephine was not right-minded, but her mother was a person who knew what was right.
She had seen it from earlier when Lacie had been willing to drag herself out with her illness and offer to
bow her head and admit her fault.
At that moment, she raised her eyebrows, gave Levi a sideways glance, and then walked in slowly.
Seeing this, Levi had to follow her in, even if he was reluctant.
Seeing her coming, those bodyguards immediately saluted her in unison and greeted her, "Hello, Miss
Harold!"
Then there came a greeting to Levi.
Ruby nodded gently, then turned her gaze towards Josephine.
After not seeing her for a few days, Ruby found that Josephine was no longer sickly and much more
spirited, her face wearing delicate make-up and she was wearing a yellow dress.
She was a beauty, but not stunning.
Lacie was surprised to see Ruby coming, but she was worried that Ruby had taken in all the words she
had just said.
"Miss Harold, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could go out to greet you?" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
As the words fell, she hurriedly called out to Tina, "Quick, go and prepare tea for Miss Harold!"
Ruby said, "Don't bother, I've just arrived, I just took the time to come over to review you, if I'm sure
there's nothing wrong, I'll leave."
"Leaving so soon? Is it to leave the capital?" At her words, Lacie was surprised.
Ruby, not saying yes or no, looked around the living room and asked, "Where is Bobby? He's not
here?"
Lacie immediately replied, "He's in his room resting."
Ruby nodded, "Good, one by one then, you come with me first and tell them both to wait."
Having said that, she went straight towards the study on the ground floor and gave Lacie a check-up.
It was during this time that Levi sat on the sofa in the living room and waited, and Josephine's eyes
looked as if they were glued to him, much to his displeasure.
In fact, from the moment he walked in, Josephine's gaze had not left him, imploring and soft.
Now, with a slight frown on her brow and a face full of sadness, she opened her mouth delicately.
"Levi, you're going back to Sea City?"
Levi frowned, a touch of impatience flashed under his eyes, and gave a nonchalant nod.
With this attitude and look, he made it clear that he did not want to talk to her, but as if she could not
see it, she moved her body closer to him.
Levi’s face sank completely, and before she sat over, he abruptly turned his head, his eyes coldly
looking towards her.
"Miss Marsh, please behave yourself."
He said it very bitterly, his tone full of boredom, suddenly making Josephine stunned.
She had always been proud of herself and had never been disliked so much.
At that moment, her face flushed with shame and annoyance, so she could not go forward again, but
could only stand awkwardly.
In the past few days, she had encountered one difficulty after another, taking the initiative to show her
affection but never getting any attention from Levi, but she had never been treated so coldly.
But it had only been two days since he followed Ruby over, and he had become even more distant than
before, even speaking to her in that tone of voice!
She was furious and full of resentment, blaming it all on Ruby.
It was all because of Ruby that Levi did this to her!
At that moment, Lacie came out of the study and called to her, "Josephine, go in."
With that, as if remembering something, she added a serious admonition.
"Don't forget, Miss Harold saved your life and now she's here to review you, so you should be extra
polite to her! Don't be rude!"
Josephine gritted her teeth, her face stiffened and a chill flashed across her eyes.
Heh ...... extra polite?
She didn't say a word and walked straight in.
In the study, Ruby was sitting behind the desk, and when she saw Josephine enter, she said coldly, "Sit
over here."
Josephine didn't make a sound, her eyes locked on Ruby’s as she walked over and sat opposite Ruby.
"Hold out your hand." Ruby demanded.
Josephine did as she was told.
Only when she had finished her examination, she withdrew her hand, but instead of leaving, her shrill
voice was heard.
"Ruby, do you think you're a big deal just because you know bit about medicine? Even if you have
some skills, you're just a servant, not worthy of the title! Not to mention that you don't come from a
good background, you were born in a small place like Sea City. The Harold family has not only
declined, but you are also not in favour, with this background, how can you compete with me?"
On hearing this, Ruby was not surprised at all, nor was she angry, but instead she snorted.
Josephine wrinkled her eyebrows and immediately rebuked, "What are you laughing at!"
"Nothing." Ruby said, "I just didn't expect you to be so impatient, it seems you've taken all your
mother's words for nothing."
Hearing that, Josephine's face froze.
"You heard that?" She gritted her teeth and looked angry.
"Good, it's better if you know, save me the trouble of talking more, make an offer, what do you want
before you are willing to divorce Levi?"
