Holly stumbled as she stood up in a panic. She nearly fell to the ground but managed to extend a hand to support Ruth.
Ruth’s face was pale, her lips cracked, and the harsh sunlight had left her weak and dazed. She grabbed Holly’s hand to stand up, but her legs gave out. It caused her to collapse back onto the ground.
“Ouch!”
Ruth gasped in pain. Her brows knitted together tightly.
Her arm was already sunburned. She came into contact with the scorching pavement and instantly left a red mark. The searing pain made her scream uncontrollably. “Ouch! It hurts! My arm hurts so much!”
Tears streamed down Ruth’s face.
Holly hurriedly helped her up. Her heart ached at the sight of the injuries on Ruth’s arm, and she said in a raspy voice, “Oh no, what should we do now?”
Ruth gritted her teeth and spoke in a horse voice, “We need to find Kate.”
She tried to maintain an appearance of frailty, though there was no need to act; she genuinely felt weak and faint. Ruth was on the brink of passing out.
The fall had left her leg bruised and her arm throbbing with intense pain. The burning pavement only added to her misery. Ruth was on the verge of breaking down.
She had already endured a lot of pain to see Kate at Summer Estate. Ruth decided she couldn’t give up now.
Holly was supporting the unsteady Ruth. Both of them, looking extremely dishevelled and stumbling, finally made their way into Summer Estate.
Kate watched their actions coldly through the security cameras, a mocking smile on her lips.
Serves them right!
What normally would have been a ten–minute walk took the two for thirty minutes. When they finally reached the villa’s door, they were nearly in tears of relief.
Inside, they saw Kate lounging comfortably on the sofa, yawning, and stretching.
Kate noticed them as well. Stretching lazily, she frowned slightly. “Why do you look so messy?”
Hearing Kate’s seemingly concerned question, Ruth immediately put on a pitiful expression. Her voice was weak and hoarse. “When we arrived, the security guard said you were taking a nap and didn’t want to be disturbed, so we waited outside.”

Kate responded with a casual grunt. She said nonchalantly, “I do get grumpy when I wake up, so I told the guard not to disturb me unless it was important.
Ruth clenched her fists in frustration. Her voice was trembling with grievance. “Kate, we came to repay the money today.”
Ruth pulled out a bank card and took a few steps forward before pretending to stumble and fall right in front of Kate.
She fell harshly. Ruth hit the ground hard, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
“Oh!”
Startled, Kate sank back into the sofa. Her tone was filled with disdain as she said, “If you’re going to die, do it outside. Don’t die at my house; it’s unlucky!”
Ruth was speechless.
This d*mn b*tch! Is that something that should come out from someone with compassion? Huh?
Ruth had wanted to appear weak to gain sympathy, but Kate’s response completely threw her off.
Ruth’s eyes were brimming with tears. She climbed to her feet. She bowed and said apologetically, I’m sorry, Kate.”
With trembling hands, she handed Kate the bank card and revealed, “This card contains 450 thousand dollars. I’m returning it to you.”
Kate looked at the blood–stained card with disgust. She waved her hand dismissively and said, “Fine, just put it on the coffee table.”
Ruth placed the card on the table and saw Kate’s expression of disdain. Seething, she grounded her teeth and forced herself to ask, “Kate, can we settle this without involving the police? Can we just call it even?”
