"I have a trauma."
"What's wrong?" Ruth asked.
"It's all because of...Old Master Shaw," said Yvonne with a sigh.
Ruth's tone immediately became agitated. "Yvonne, don't tell that the d*mned old man is still very forceful and cares about the status and prestige of families! Could it be that he wanted to object to the marriage of you and my cousin?"
Yvonne shook her head. "That's not the case. Old Master Shaw is more honest now. He is also much older now. He doesn't intervene with anything anymore. I often see him running to Gloria's house to sneak a peek at her. In fact, every time I went to the Shaw family's house, the old man would ask me, 'How is Sabrina? How is Aino? Have they forgiven me now?' and so on. I will sometimes find him quite pitiful.
However..."
Speaking of that, Yvonne sighed. "Every time I think about how cruel he could treat his own daughter, and how he could help an outsider to viciously harm her own granddaughter and almost have her killed, I just.... when I see Old Master Shaw, I just feel fearful in my heart. Do you understand that, Ruth? I told myself every day that I had to overcome it, I have to overcome it. However, once I see Old Master Shaw and I recall those things that he had done in the past, I would still be afraid."
Ruth felt very sorry as she looked at Yvonne. "It must have been tough on you, my precious..."
Yvonne sighed again. "So, I wanted to wait-"
"Wait until after the old man has passed away, then only you'll marry into the Shaw family?" Ruth was very blunt.
Yvonne smiled. "I didn't curse him..."
"Pfft...you didn't curse him, I did, alright? Petty girl!" said Ruth with a smile.
Yvonne also laughed as if she had gained a huge advantage.
What she meant was that she had once killed someone and she was also a very vicious woman in the past. However, she did not dare to say it out loud.
Ruth, on the other hand, smiled. "I simply am not afraid of you and I just want to make you my good friend. What can other people do to me? Hmph!"
When she heard Ruth saying that, Isadora felt incredibly touched. She thought to herself that other than protecting Jane in the future, she had to protect Ruth as well. They were both married into the Poole family anyway. It would have been the same to protect one person or two people. That was what Isadora had intended in her heart. She did not say it out loud.
Yvonne was driving very fast. An hour later, Yvonne's car was stopped outside of the entrance to the medical school. Ruth gave Minerva a call, and not long after that, Minerva came running out of the school.
When she saw Ruth and Yvonne, the young lady thought that it was very strange. "How come...both of you had thought about looking for me at my medical school? You're not here...to give me living expenses, right? I...I don't need it. I have enough. I am now working three jobs every day. I am not even using Nigel's money. I really don't need it. Thank you, Ruth, Yvonne."
"They are not here to give you living expenses. I am," Isadora suddenly spoke at that moment.
