Seeing how worked up Yesseca was getting, Preslie said, "I don't know if | can still find the video of His
Excellency's speech, but letcheck." After that, Preslie began to look for the video.
Soon, her eyes lit up. She'd found it!
It was still there!
Preslie immediately handed the phone over to Yesseca and said, "Yesseca, look, this is his speech. It's his
declaration of love for you!" Yesseca was silent.
She took the phone and began watching the video.
Around the stime, Ruth was putting her own phone close to her ear.
Tremaine's voice rang in her ear.
Again and again.
Ruth had listened to it many times. She'd started listening to it ever since Tremaine made his speech. She kept
repeating it.
It was like she was possessed. She listened to him non-stop.
Gradually, her eyes turned red.
Everyone was equal.
Ruth muttered, "Nobility or civilians, both are equal. This is an equal society."
Tremaine's words had shocked Ruth.
She'd never known that nobles and civilians could be equal.
At that moment, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Ruth immediately turned off her phone and stuffed it under the pillow.
It was Zorion.
Ruth was stunned for a moment, then a tinge of shflitted across her face.
Zorion walked up to Ruth.
As he neared her, he muttered, "I haven't seen you in a long time. I've been asking people everywhere, it wasn't
easy forto find you. Why are you here?" Ruth did not speak.
She turned away, not daring to even look at Zorion.
Zorion stared at Ruth's face and said, "Ruth, why do you have so many white things tied around your head?
What happened?"

Ruth's head was wrapped with white bandages.
Most people would recognize that she was hurt.
However, Zorion could not.
He was silly.
Ruth shook her head. "I'm fine."
Zorion leaned closer to Ruth and said, "Ruth, are you sick? This looks like a hospital. Are you ill?"
Ruth shook her head again. "No, Mr. Zorion, I'm not sick."
"Oh." Zorion did not think much about it. "Then why don't you spend stwith me? Ruth, I've been waiting
for you to hang out with me, we haven't done so a long time." Ruth had always made tto play with Zorion
every day, but it had been awhile since he'd last seen her.
Ruth bit her lip.
She didn't know what to say to Zorion.
At that moment, Zorion lowered his voice.
He said, "Ruth, | have a secret to tell you."
"Okay," replied Ruth.
"That night, when you told| was sick and | needed to take medicine, my wife and | did something really
pleasant," Zorion said.
Ruth was stunned for a moment.
Zorion smiled and said, "But | don't know what it was either. My wife didn't tell me. Do you know what it is?"
Ruth's head was buzzing.
She knew what Zorion meant when he said "something really pleasant".
Did Zorion think that he had been with Yuliana that night?
Ruth's mouth opened.
She wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words. Fine.
This was the best outcome.
There was no chance for her and Zorion to be together.
She would pretend that nothing had happened that night.
Ruth opened her mouth and said in a bitter voice, "I don't know."
Zorion looked regretful.
"| thought you would."
Just as he'd finished speaking, Ruth heard footsteps.
Hearing the incoming steps, Ruth's heart
tightened.
Who else could it be but Yuliana?
She immediately said, "Mr. Zorion, you should leave quickly."
Zorion looked puzzled. "Why should | leave? Ruth, | want to spend more twith you."
Ruth pushed Zorion anxiously and said, "Mr. Zorion, please leave."
As soon as she finished speaking,
the door was pushed open, and
To
apa appeared in front of Zorion
Ruth.
Seeing Zorion there, a cold light flashed in Yuliana's eyes.
Zorion was here, as expected!
She had been searching for Zorion, but he was nowhere to be found When she asked the servants, she learned
that Zorion had been asking around about the whereabouts of Ruth.
Yuliana had guessed that Zorion would be here with Ruth.
She rushed over immediately. As she expected, her suspicions were right.
Yuliana was extremely angry.
Thi shameless couple! Could they not wait to be together?
Yuliana cforward and gave Ruth a slap.
"You shameless b*tch!" Yuliana scolded.
Ruth was already injured. Her head moved to the side with the force of the slap.
Her head was buzzing as if it had exploded, and there were stars in front of her eyes.
Zorion didn't know what a shameless b*tch meant, but he saw Yuliana hitting Ruth. Seeing how Yuliana was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout to slap Ruth, Zorion immediately grabbed Yuliana's hand.
He said, "My dear wife, why did you hit Ruth?"
"Why am | hitting this b*tch?" Yuliana sneered. "Don't you know what the both of you have done?"
Zorion's eyes widened. "What did | do with Ruth?"
"You two dogs!" Yuliana suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute.
Zorion, this fool, really didn't know what he and Ruth had done together!
Yuliana didn't intend to tell Zorion.
Yuliana sneered and said to Zorion, "Nothing, Zorion, let's go."
Zorion refused to leave.
He said that Ruth was injured.
In the end, Zorion called the doctor.
Zorion had wanted to wait for the doctor to examine Ruth, but Yuliana finally dragged him out.
Yuliana couldn't stand it anymore.
After pulling Zorion out, she shouted angrily, "Zorion, what do you want from her? She's just a servant, Why
didn't you leave when | told
swrou to?"
"She's not just a servant, she's my friend. A good friend."
Yuliana wanted to slap Zorion.
Friend!
Haha!
Good friend!
He had already slept with her!
What a pair of shameless adulterers!
If this was the past, Yuliana would have definitely slapped Zorion.
Right at that moment, however, she held back.
Now that her position was in danger, she warned herself that she could not treat Zorion like how she used to.
"Zorion." Yuliana's voice softened. "Ruth is not a good woman. She is not your friend."
