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.

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."
