Chapter 17 Never Let Unrelated People In Again
Ruth made several phone calls, and just as she was about to lose her patience, the phone finally connected. She couldn’t wait to speak, “Kate, I came to Summer Estate to find you, but the security guard stopped me outside! They are a bunch of fools. Aren’t they afraid of losing their jobs?”
On the other end of the line, Kate’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and her eyes grew colder. She calmly said, “They would lose their jobs if they let you in.”
Ruth was taken aback. She rubbed her ear, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard, and asked, “Kate, what do you mean by that?”
Kate chuckled softly, “Summer Estate will no longer allow unrelated people in.”
Ruth was speechless. She tightened her grip on her phone, frowned, and said somewhat hurt, “Kate, are you saying that I am an unrelated person?
“Then who else would it be?”
Kate tapped the table lightly with her index finger. Her expression turned cold, and she said, “This time, Eric no longer trusts me as much. If you still have no sense and come to Summer Estate, be careful not to end up in trouble!”
After Kate finished speaking, she lowered her voice and quickly added, “Let’s discuss it at the banquet tomorrow. I will ask Eric to take me there.”
Then, she hung up the phone without hesitation.
She stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the entrance of Summer Estate, her gaze following the distant figure of Ruth. Then, she chuckled and lowered her eyes.
The show has just begun.
Meanwhile, Ruth at the entrance had a sudden change in expression. Her eyes were filled with cold and complex emotions.
She felt that something was amiss.
Kate beat Simon and didn’t allow her into Summer Estate. Could it be that she truly wanted to gain Eric’s trust and have him take her to the banquet tomorrow? If that was the case, she could benefit from Kate again tomorrow.
Her expression kept changing, and then suddenly she heard the roar of an engine.
She turned around, looking behind her, and was instantly frightened. Without thinking, she panicked and ran into the nearby forest, still in her high heels. In her haste, she twisted her foot and fell to the ground in a miserable state.
She quickly covered her mouth tightly, trembling as she lay on the ground, not daring to make a
sound.
It wasn’t until the sound of the car faded that Ruth dared to get up. She looked towards the entrance of Summer Estate with some fear.
She was not mistaken. The car just now belonged to Eric, the limited edition Rolls–Royce.
She had admired it from afar many times but only dared to look.
Thankfully, she reacted quickly and ran away. Otherwise, if Eric found out
Thinking of his ruthless ways, Ruth couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.
Eris is a complete madman! She only dares to come to Summer Estate to flaunt her power because of Kate. She used to have the privilege to enter and exit Summer Estate freely but only did so when Eric was absent.
Eric is too terrifying.
Ruth limped down the road, feeling intense pain in her ankle. Her face contorted, and she ground her teeth fiercely.
It’s all because of Kate! Why didn’t she just finish off Eric with one blow after stabbing him? I’m afraid she has completely angered him this time. Why else would she resort to such tactics to earn his trust?
That incompetent Kate better find a way to please him, or she will not have a good life ahead of her!
Once we have full control of the Lowe Group, I will surely escalate the humiliation I experienced today and pay it back to Kate tenfold or even a hundredfold!
