Chapter 666

Ruth was acting as if she and Noelle were close friends. Without giving Noelle a chance to react or refuse, she had already turned on her phone's camera and snapped a photo.

"Oh, by the way, I meant everything I said to you last night," Ruth added.

She didn't push her luck and put away her phone once she got the picture. Then, she continued seriously, "I was young and stupid back then. More importantly, Sandra was my best friend at the time. I've always been simple-minded, so I believed whatever she said without question.

"I never imagined she'd turn out to be such a two-faced, manipulative woman. But no matter what, I hurt you in the past, so I want to sincerely apologize to you. Noelle, I'm really sorry."

As she spoke, Ruth made a move to kneel.

"That's all in the past now." She had no choice but to say this to prevent Ruth from dragging things out any further.
