Marrying
Chapter 146

Chapter 146

Ruth was stunned. Marcus, who was beside her, was furious. “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that the gold vase I gave is also faker”

Ruth came back to her senses and echoed, That’s right. Do you think Marcus is like you? You’re poor and think that everyone is the same…”

Matthew did not care if they listenc

is advice. After saying that, he pulled

Valerie through the crowd and left. Lore leaving, Valerie picked up the gold and ruby bracelets Ruth had mistaken for fakes.

Ruth was still cursing at the two of them as they left. Marcus refused to be doubted, so he took out the gold vase’s certificate of authenticity and threw it to Ruth. Ruth was finally happy.

On the other hand, Lou Warren, who had traveled extensively to do business when he was young, frowned when he saw the broken ruby bracelet Valerie had picked up before she left, “Although I didn’t see it properly, it looks to be of a good quality…”

Melinda was curious. “What do you mean? Is it valuable?”

Ruth heard it from afar and quickly pricked up her ears. Lou hesitated and said, “Rubies of normal quality are worth about 4,000 dollars.”

Melinda immediately said it was a pity that something worth 4,000 dollars had been broken.

Although Ruth was also surprised for a moment, she immediately stopped caring. 4,000 dollars was nothing to her now. The gold vase’s certificate of authenticity marked it as worth 17.6 thousand dollars. Moreover, with Marcus’s help, it was only a matter of time before her family prospered.

Before Matthew left, he even said that Ruth would regret it. What a joke. Without an ingrate like Valerie, Ruth was overjoyed. If someone would regret it, it would be that idiot Valerie.

Lou wanted to say something but hesitated. What he didn’t say was that 4,000 dollars was for normal–grade rubies. Top–grade rubies were worth far more.

Unfortunately, he was far away just now and didn’t see what it was.

However, Lou had heard that Ruth mistre fel her daughter in the past. Today, he had finally witnessed it. Ruth pretended not to see her daughter being harassed by another man. He couldn’t believe Ruth was such a mother.

Not only Lou, but the other relatives also loo it each other and whispered. In the end, they found an excuse and dispersed.

Ruth, who would mistreat her own daughter, would only be mean and ruthless to others. She was not worth befriending.

Matthew had driven there in the company’s business car. After bringing Valeric to the car, he was about to open the door for Valerie when Valerie tripped.

“Be careful.” Matthew reached out and pulled Valerie against his chest.

Valerie had spent too much energy just now. She knew that Matthew did not like contact. She was about to thank him and steady herself, but what came out was, “Mr. Grant, can you let me lean on you for a while…”

“Yes.” Matthew lowered his head and looked at Valerie. He felt that Valerie resembled a small animal.

Small animals would cry for days after being beaten up, but Valerie did not shed a single tear. Matthew wondered if it was because Valerie was used to being treated like that. He felt a little sorry for her. He was not good at comforting people. Or rather, he had never tried to comfort people before. He wondered if he should say something now.

Suddenly, Matthew heard Valerie let out a long sigh. He thought, ‘Is she crying?”

Valerie said, “Mr. Grant, I’m penniless now and still owe several thousand dollars in online loans, but… Mr. Grant, I’ve never been as relaxed as I am today.”
