NOVEL WEB Chapter 28: Angered To Death
In the main receiving hall, sitting in the head seat, Ruth propped her head up on the armrest of her chair and stared at the mother-daughter duo in front of her. She yawned and lazily said: "So let me get this straight… Your daughter barged into the main family's house, entered the floor where the masters of the house bedrooms are, called my precious daughter in law a slut and bitch, and got beat up for it, is everything I said just now correct?"
The mother-daughter duo was in shock. They did not know how the Madam knew every minor detail that had happened. Of course, there was one shameless little girl that did not care if what was said was right or not as she yelled out: "I never said a thing to that slu-girl! That slu-girl slapped me twice and then punched me in the eye, for no reason!"
The mother and daughter duo was Sara and her mother Venessa. At this time Venessa had come to help her daughter get rid of the so-called fiancee to help secure her daughter's position as the one who would marry Able, making her the new future Madam. But Able had to go and bring in some outsider as his fiancee! This went against their plan to make their side family the new main family! But now she was looking at her daughter as if she was an idiot. She never expected as soon as her daughter opened her mouth she would have not just one but multiple slips of the tongue!
Ruth looked at the mother-daughter pair and sneered. "I see… Well, what issue do you have?"
Ruth's question caused the mother-daughter pair to stare blankly at Ruth. "Sister, what do you mean? How can an outsider be allowed to harm members of the family that are blood-related?"
"Hmmm? Are you saying my new daughter is an outsider?" Ruth's brows furrowed and an immense pressure seemed to exude from her body.
This caused the two who were standing in front of her to shrink back in fear. "No, Not at all but..."
"Then if she is not an outsider what is your problem? All she did was beat a problematic child up. She was only hit three times. Each of those injuries will heal perfectly fine over the next week so why are you here bothering me when I was about to take a nap? To be honest, even if my dear Rei broke all the bones in your daughter's body, disfigured her face, or cooked her alive, I would still praise Rei for doing a good job. Do you want to know why?" Ruth looked at the mother-daughter pair and smiled brightly seeing their horrified expression as she continued without waiting for them to answer her question: "Because she is my new daughter, everything she does is right."
Venessa couldn't seem to hold back her anger as she mustered up the courage as she yelled out: "Sister, are you really going to be like this!? Sara is your niece!"
"I do not acknowledge a niece that is trying to covet her cousin. Do you not find this sick? They may be close in age but they are blood-related, making them family. They can not be anything else. Her dream of marrying my son will never happen. If you wish to continue down this road and push Rei's buttons, I am sure at some point you will fully regret it. Not to mention your stupid daughter did all those things in the main family's house. Do you know the expression 'the walls have ears'? Do you not know how many servants watched the scene unfold in front of them earlier?
"Your daughter started the problem with Rei. My Rei even warned her multiple times but she continued to spout trash from her cesspool mouth. In my opinion, she got what she deserved." Ruth said without holding anything back. In fact, she did not hear anything from the servants but watched it from the hidden image recorders they had in the hall. "But I will say this, if you keep trying to do things to my new daughter, you will most likely find yourself in a lot of pain. Do not come crying to me when that time comes."
"You! I will remember this! Sara let's go!" Venessa did not want to stay any longer. She felt if she did she would be angered to death by that woman's sharp tongue!
"Mom!? What about..." Sara wanted to protest but shut her mouth when Venessa glared at her.
Ruth snorted as she watched the mother-daughter pair leave. "Humph! Do you think your daughter is better than my son's fiancee? You must really be living in a dream."
"Ruth, what has gotten you all riled up?" Cedric came walking into the receiving all.
"That sister in law of ours really pushed it in her daughter's head that she will marry our son. We have let her run wild all this time out of respect for their family. Now that Able has brought home a fiancee and her daughter gets beat up by said fiancee, she wants to come over here seeking retribution? Humph! Not on my watch! " Ruth snorted yet again.
"Haha! I watched that myself. That punch to the face was nice. I must say though that girl has some quick movements. She was so quick to reach in front of Sara to deliver that first slap. She will make a fine magic knight with some polishing." Cedric was rubbing his chin as he got lost in thought. He really felt that Rei was a good seedling.
"Let her settle in for a little while before you drag her off to train. Her little friend that came with her will be spending a few nights here while she gets used to the place. But we need to keep a better eye on that little bitch. You know how she does not give up easily." Ruth felt a tinge of worry.
"It should be fine. Even if Rei ends up killing her in the end it will be fine. Let the young ones fight it out for now. It will be good training for Rei. If she wants to be a magic knight in the future she will need to see the schemes of the people around her in order to survive. Of course, we will not let Rei die either. I got a few dark guards, guarding her already." Cedric said with a smile as he pulled Ruth into his arms.
