Chapter 242

Ruth was so furious that she couldn't even stomach her meal. Staring at the food in front of her, she snapped, "Take it away. I'm not eating!

Laura furrowed with concern, pleaded. "Mrs. Larson, don't be bothered by Thomas' family and harm your health. It's not worth it

"How am I supposed to have the appetite to eat?" Ruth thumped her chest in frustration. I've already made concessions and allowed them to return. I did it with reluctance. But they didn't bring Madeline over. What good are they to me? I don't want to support those annoying people or let them leech off my hospitality" Laura held the plate, her face etched with worry. "Are those behind Madeline really that powerful?"

"Yes, absolutely" Ruth's expression darkened. Harley has looked into it. In addition to Caleb's prosection, Madeline is surrounded by Nolan, the miracle healer. And people often see her hang out with Gavin at school. Gavin is said to be a significant figure in the criminal underworld. Rumors of foreign assassins guarding her have also surfaced.

Laura was taken aback by this information. "If she's that impressive, having her at home could mean that we gain several powerful allies"

Ruth upped her fingers on the table a few times, deep in thought. "Indeed."

They had used marriage as a means of establishing relationships, and now they could potentially have a powerful ally. Yet, their plans had gone awry due to Thomas' troublesome wife.

"Tm so furious," Ruch mattered, her temples pulsating as she closed her eyes. "I might just send them back where they came from."

Her family made sure the boy got to cat well and had the chance to study and make something of himself. Meanwhile, Violet could only tend to cattle, mow the lawn, and do farm work every day, Violet was the prettiest girl in the village, and her parents planned to marry her off to a wealthier family while she was still young to earn a substantial dowry for her brother's high school education, Violet didn't want to end up like her sisters, working hard, having kids, and getting beaten. She lay on the haystack, watching who young men from the city, appreciating their youthful vitality and envying their literacy and capacity to read, discuss. and debate the news. Therefore, she would take her brother to school and covertly go to study after finishing her daily chore of cutting grass for the cows early. She had mistered
