Forbidden Passion

Chapter 817 Don't Touch My Daughter

Cindy looked at her, "Why are you crying? Who wronged you, or is Phoebe treating you badly?"

"No, no." Ruby shook her head and waved her hands in a panic, afraid that Cindy might misunderstand. "Phoebe treats me very well."

"Then are you homesick?" Cindy knew that Ruby had been kicked out by the Adams family because she got pregnant before marriage. It was normal for her to miss home after being away for so long.

Unexpectedly, Ruby said expressionlessly, "I don't miss home, not at all."

Cindy stared at her in a daze. She had heard from Phoebe about how the Adams family had completely cut Ruby off. She sighed, "I won't guess anymore, but Phoebe treats you like family. If you have any problems, you must tell her. Don't keep it to yourself."

"I know." Ruby sniffled and looked at her nervously, "I thought you hated me."

"I do hate you," Cindy said frankly. "You used to bully Phoebe with Vanessa, and I was really angry. But what can I do? Phoebe doesn't hold grudges, so I have to follow her lead."

Ruby thought she would say something insincere for the sake of dignity, but she was so straightforward. She said, "I really envy the friendship between you and Phoebe." Looking back at the friendships she valued back then, they were nothing compared to theirs.

"No need to envy, friendships like ours are indeed rare," Cindy said. "Let's go, I want to check on Hubert, Boris, and Noomi."

The two of them walked towards the Ziegler Villa.

At the door, Cindy saw Harper standing outside. She had heard from Phoebe that he had come back specifically for this matter today.

"Uncle Harper, I'm Phoebe's friend, my name is Cindy." Cindy greeted him confidently, seeing him only as Phoebe's biological father, not the big shot in the finance industry from Caneda.
