Yesseca hadn't expected Ruth to bow so deeply towards her.

She quickly helped Ruth up. "Hey, don't do that. I can't bear to see you like this."

Ruth then stood up straight.

Yesseca added, "Besides, I'm not stupid. Yuliana didn't mean to criticize you. She's just making accusations. I can't let you suffer on my behalf." Ruth felt a warm feeling inside her welling up.

She whispered, "Miss Cowell, you are a good person."

Yesseca smiled, "You're also a good person as well."

Although Yuliana always referred to Ruth as her annoying servant, Yesseca could see that Ruth was actually a good person.

Once, when she nearly fell down the stairs, Ruth came and held her up.

There was a brief flicker of light in Ruth's eyes.

She suddenly felt a lot closer to Yesseca and was compelled to tell her things.

But she soon tossed that idea aside.

If she grew too close to Yesseca, Yuliana would kill her.

Ruth then said, "Miss Cowell, I must go now. I have lots to do today."

Ruth arrived on Yuliana's floor.

Yuliana was waiting for her.

As she watched Ruth approach her, her anger began to grow worse and worse.

She slapped Ruth's face so hard that Ruth's head was flung to one side. There was blood on her mouth.

Drops of blood slowly fell onto the ground.

Ruth was stunned.

She looked at the blood on the floor and fell into a daze.

Yuliana shouted angrily, "How dare you, Ruth! Are you my servant or not? What did you just say to that b*tch?! I walked away, but you didn't follow me. Instead you talked to her. Ruth, you're looking to cause a scene, aren't you? I haven't punished you for some time now, haven't I?"

Yuliana slapped her again.

It was extremely painful.

At this moment, Ruth recalled the things that
