Chapter 17 Ruth company is going bankrupt
For a few days, Arabella was muddle-headed. When she realized it, she found that several days had passed.
She thought of Ruth's Group, her parents, and panicked with worry. She hurriedly picked up the phone to call her parents, but was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door -
"Mrs James, Miss Ruth is here to see you." The housekeeper appeared at the door and knocked on the door.
When Arabella looked up and saw the familiar figure behind the housekeeper, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Beth Ruth...
"Sister." "It's been a while. I came to see you on behalf of Ezra. Are you used to living here?" Beth Ruth asked.
"Get out! You are not welcome here." Arabella looked at her coldly, the disgust in her eyes undisguised.
She finally understood why Ezra suddenly wanted to attack Ruth's family. Beth Ruth must have done something!
Beth Ruth slowly walked forward and casually threw the flowers in her hand on the tea table. "Sister, don't be like this. I know you don't like me, but I really have something important to tell you."
Arabella looked at her warily, but her hand subconsciously touched her abdomen.
"Sister, don't be so nervous. This is James' family. You don't have to be afraid of me." Beth Ruth laughed.
There was no one else around. Beth Ruth did not hide the malice in her eyes at all. She smiled and said, "I guess you don't know about Ruth's family's recent news. After all, you are busy with your own things. Unfortunately, a big company like Ruth's Group will probably go bankrupt soon. Your good days are coming to an end!"
Arabella forced herself to be calm and asked, "What do you mean?"
Beth Ruth was very happy to explain to her, "Ezra only used a small part of his property to broke Ruth's Group's foundation. Now your family's capital chain is completely broken. No one can save your company now. With all the debt your father owns, I guess the next time I see Uncle Ruth, it may be in court ---"
Beth Ruth giggling up a storm, but Arabella was expressionless in front of her.
"Are you done? If you are done, then get out! You are not welcome here!"
Beth Ruth was already a master lier. She did not believe a word she said.
In any case, Ruth's Group was entrenched and could not collapse so easily.
What's more, she did not believe that Ezra would be so ruthless!
Even if he doesn't love her, they have been husband and wife for so many years...
However, when she thought of how cold and heartless Ezra was when he was determined to get rid of the child in her belly that day, her heart sank.
Would Ezra really care about their relationship?
Seeing that Arabella did not believe her, Beth Ruth raised her eyebrows slightly. "If you don't believe me, just call and ask. I am just reminding you out of good intentions. Don't naively think that you are still the high and mighty elder daughter of Ruth's family. Soon, you will become nothing!"
"Is that so?" Arabella lowered her head and muttered softly, "No matter what, I am better than a slut like you."
"You!" Beth Ruth was so angry that her face turned pale and ferocious. , but she seemed to have thought of something and quickly calmed down. "Arabella, we will see who will be the winner!"
Arabella ignored her and lowered her head to continue reading the book in her hand.
Beth Ruth was ignored and felt bored. She sneered, grabbed her bag, and left.
Unexpectedly, just as she stepped out of the door of James' villa, she met with Gaby James, who had just returned home.
"Beth, why are you here? Are you going to leave now? Don't you want to stay for a while longer?"
"I..." Beth Ruth paused for a moment. Her eyes turned slightly, and then she lowered her head sadly. "Auntie, I am just an outsider. Besides, my sister is pregnant now. I..."
Beth Ruth wanted to say something but stopped. She looked up at Gaby James bitterly and turned to run away.
"Beth!"
Gaby James shouted a few times, but she couldn't stop Beth Ruth, so she had to give up.
When she saw Arabella sitting quietly on the sofa, her eyebrows suddenly raised high, and she said angrily, "Arabella! Did you drive Beth away? You are..."
Arabella didn't want to talk to her, so she got up and went straight upstairs.
The door closed, and immediately kept Gaby James's cursing from the outside.
She did not believe Beth Ruth's words. But the crisis of Ruth's family these days had always been a thorn in her heart. She couldn't help but care about it.
If something really happened to Ruth's family, just like what Beth Ruth said, then how could she not do anything?
After hesitating for a long time, Arabella finally dialed Aden Ruth's number.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to see that her fingers were trembling slightly.
A minute passed, but Aden Ruth didn't answer the phone.
Arabella had no choice but to call her mother.
"Arabella?"
Grace Ruth quickly picked up the phone, but her voice seemed to have aged several years. Her old and hoarse voice was even a little strange to Arabella.
"Mom, what happened? Why can't I get through to Dad?"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Grace Ruth couldn't hold back her emotions at all. She almost cried, "Arabella, bad something happened... Your dad's company was bought by Ezra! We owe a lot of money now, and the company and the house here have to be mortgaged... If your father can't pay it back, he might have to go to jail!"
Grace Ruth's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Arabella's heart, making her unable to come back to her senses for a long time. "How could this be..."
What Beth Ruth said was actually true!
"Arabella, what should we do? Why did Ezra do this? Did he do anything to you?" Grace Ruth's anxious voice brought back Arabella's thoughts.
Hearing this, Arabella's nose twitched and she almost cried.
At this time, her mother still cares about her so much...
"Mom, don't worry. I'm fine. I, I'll go find Ezra now!"
"Don't..."
Grace Ruth was about to stop her, but Arabella had already hung up the phone.
Arabella hurriedly ran out of James' villa. She did not notice that she was wearing a thin pajama. She called a taxi on the side of the road in a trance. "Go to James' Group."
Arabella got out of the car with the help of the car door. Her white and slender fingers held the car door and her fingertips and joints were pink. Her black hair that was rolled up was hanging down a few strands, making her slender neck look even whiter.
Even without makeup, she was still stunning.
Arabella went upstairs under the shocked gazes. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the floor where Ezra was, she was stopped by the secretary at the door. "Madam, you can't go in without Mr. James' permission."
The secretary's gaze fell on Arabella's thin pajamas. Thinking of the miserable condition of Ruth's family in these days, his gaze became pitiful.
Mr. James did not like this Madam, now that Ruth's family had fell, he would not see her anymore.
"Get out of the way! I want to see Ezra!"
"Mrs. James, this is Mr. James 'order. Please don't make things difficult for me..."
Before the secretary could finish his words, Arabella suddenly pushed him away. Before he could react, he saw Arabella rushing directly to the president's office.
