Chapter 17 Ruth company is going bankrupt
For several days, Arabella was in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she realized that several days had passed.
She thought of Ruth's, of her parents, and panicked with worry. She hastily picked up the phone to call them, but was suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door.
The housekeeper appeared at the door at some point and knocked on the foyer, "Mrs James, Miss Ruth is here to see you."
Arabella looked up and her gaze abruptly went cold when she saw the familiar figure behind the housekeeper.
Beth Ruth......
"Sister." Beth Ruth walked up from behind the housekeeper holding a bouquet of flowers, her smile was sweet and soft, "It's been a long time, I came to see you on behalf of Ezra, are you still used to living here?"
"Get out! You are not welcome here." Arabella looked at her coldly, the disgust in her eyes unconcealed.
She now understood why Ezra was suddenly going after Ruth's family, and that Beth Ruth was in the middle of all this!
Beth Ruth walked up slowly and threw the flowers in her hand to the coffee table, "Sister, don't be like this, I know you don't like me, but I really have something important to tell you."
Arabella looked at her warily, but her hand subconsciously brushed her belly.
Beth Ruth laughed out, "Sister, don't be so nervous, this is Ruth's family, you are still afraid of what I will do?"
There is no one else in the room, Beth Ruth does not hide the malice in her eyes, smiling, "I guess you do not know the information of Ruth's family recently, after all, sister is too busy to take care of herself. Unfortunately, the Ruth's family is such a big business that I'm afraid it will soon go bankrupt. Your good days are at an end!"
Arabella forced herself to calmly ask, "What do you mean by that?"
Beth Ruth was happy to explain, "Ezra used a small portion of his assets to pry Ruth's from its foundations. Now that your family's capital chain is completely broken, no matter who steps in, it won't help. At this level of indebtedness, I guess the next time I see Uncle Ruth, it may be in court ~"
Beth Ruth laughed and trembled, but the Arabella in front of her was expressionless.
"Finished? If you're done, get out! You are not welcome here!"
Beth Ruth's ability to make up lies has become so proficient that she doesn't believe a word of it now.
Ruth's family is at least as deep-rooted as they come, so it's unlikely that they would crumble so easily.
What's more, she doesn't believe that Ezra would be so heartless!
Even if he doesn't love himself, but they have been married for so many years ......
However, once she thought of that day in the hospital room, Ezra's cold indifference when he was determined to remove the child in her belly, her heart sank.
The first thing you need to do is to get rid of it.
If you don't believe me, just call and ask. I'm also just kindly reminding you, don't naively think you're still the high and mighty Miss Ruth's family, soon, you'll be left with nothing!"
"Is that so?" Arabella lowered her head and murmured softly, "Any better than you, bitch."
"You!" Beth Ruth's face turned white with anger, and her expression was fierce for a moment, but she quickly calmed down again after thinking of something, "Arabella, I want to see which one of us can have the last laugh!"
Arabella stopped talking to her and looked down at the book she was reading.
Beth Ruth was nakedly ignored, and felt bored for a moment, snorted, grabbed her bag and walked away.
The first time she left the door of Ruth's villa, she met up with Gaby James who had just returned home.
"Beth, what are you doing here? You're just ready to go, don't you want to sit down for a while?"
"I ......" Beth Ruth paused for a moment, her eyes turned slightly, then lowered her head gloomily, "Auntie, I'm just an outsider, besides, my sister is pregnant now, I ......"
Beth Ruth wanted to say something, and then looked up at Gaby James with a sorrowful and bitter look, and turned and ran away.
"Beth!"
Gaby James shouted several times, but could not keep Beth Ruth, had to give up.
When she saw Arabella sitting quietly on the sofa, her eyebrows dangled high and she said in no good mood, "Arabella! I said you ......"
Arabella did not want to pay attention to her, got up and went straight upstairs.
The door of the room closed, immediately shutting out Gaby James' curses.
She naturally did not believe Beth Ruth's words, perhaps these days Ruth's family matter has been a thorn in her heart, she had to care.
In case Ruth's family is really like what she said, then how can she do nothing?
After a long hesitation, Arabella finally dialed Aden Ruth's phone number.
If you don't look closely, you can't tell that the woman's fingers are trembling slightly.
A minute passed, but Aden Ruth's phone was never answered.
Arabella had no choice but to call her mother instead.
"Arabella?"
Grace Ruth answered the phone quickly, but her voice seemed to have aged several years, and her raspy voice was even a little strange to Arabella.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why can't you get Dad's phone?"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Grace Ruth's emotions were completely tense, almost with a sobbing voice, "Arabella, something happened to the family ...... your father's company was acquired by Ezra! The family now owes a lot of money, the company and the house here have to be mortgaged out ...... If you can't pay it back again, your father he may have to go to jail!"
Grace Ruth's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Arabella's heart, leaving her half-hearted, "How could this happen ......"
Beth Ruth's words were true!
"Arabella, what should we do, Ezra, why did he do this, did he do anything to you?" Grace Ruth's urgent voice snapped Arabella's thoughts back.
Hearing these words, the tip of Arabella's nose sank and she nearly shed a tear.
It was already this time, her mother was still so concerned about her in her heart ......
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll, I'll go find Ezra now!"
"Don't ......"
Grace Ruth just wanted to discourage, but Arabella had already hung up the phone.
Arabella hurried out of Ruth's villa, not even noticing that she was wearing a thin nightgown, and stopped a cab at the side of the road in a trance, "Go to Ruth's Company."
Arabella held the car door to get out, white and slender ten fingers slightly hard, finger belly and joints through a touch of pink and white. Her pulled up black hair fell a few strands, lining the slender neck even whiter.
Without powder, she is still stunningly beautiful.
Arabella went upstairs in the midst of astonished eyes, but as soon as she reached Ezra's floor, she was stopped by the secretary at the door, "Madam, you can't go in without President James' permission."
The secretary's eyes fell on Arabella's thin pajamas, and thinking of the miserable state of Ruth's family in the past two days, her gaze became compassionate.
President James already did not see this lady, and now that Ruth's family had fallen, he would not see her anymore.
"Get out of the way! I want to see Ezra!"
"Mrs James, this is President James's order, you don't make it difficult for me ......"
Before the secretary could finish his words, he was pushed away by Arabella's strength from nowhere, and without waiting for him to react, he saw Arabella rushing directly to the innermost president's office.
