Chapter 6 The Truth Three Years Ago

"Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly screamed and fell straight to the ground.
Arabella frowned and was a little confused. "What are you pretending for? I didn't push you..."
"Beth!"
An anxious male voice came out while she spoke.
Before Arabella could react, the man suddenly ran forward quickly, knocked her away, and directly supported Beth Ruth on the ground.
"Beth, are you alright?"
Arabella was knocked out without any defense. She almost lost her footing, but her hands subconsciously protected her belly.
When she looked up again, Beth Ruth had already stood up with the help of Ezra. The worry in the man's eyes were things she had never seen before...
Beth Ruth looked up, but when her eyes met Arabella's hand that was covering her belly, she was stunned.
Before she could think about it, she heard Ezra's cold voice ringing in her ear, "Arabella, are you crazy? How dare you push Beth?"
The man stared at Arabella with his deep eyes, they were full of anger.
Arabella pursed her lips, her face was a little pale.
This man didn't even ask what had happened. He immediately accused her of hurting that woman. Was she such a person in his heart?
"I..."
Before Arabella could start her explanation, she was interrupted by Beth Ruth's sobbing. "Sister, if this can cool you down, no matter what you do, I won't resist..."
Then she looked at Ezra, crying. "Ezra, don't blame sister. It's right for my sister to be angry and push me. It's my fault... I shouldn't have come back. When that thing happened three years ago, I should have jumped off the building and died. When I came back, I would only cause trouble for everyone. No one want me back..."
"Beth, don't be silly! I'm very happy that you can come back." The man hugged Beth Ruth with worry, and the pity on his face could not be concealed.
The scene in front of her upset Arabella, and anger mixed with grievance surged into her heart.
"Enough!" She endured it, again and again, but Beth Ruth never stopped looking for her trouble. She even dared to blackmail her. "You know best in your heart whether I pushed you or not. Stop faking!"
Beth Ruth held her chest and gasped. Like a delicate flower, she clung tightly to Ezra. "I know that my sister does not like me. As long as I can not make you upset, I can do anything you want me to do! I don't blame you for what happened three years ago. I am willing to forgive Jack Smith for what he did wrong. Anyway, my life belongs to Ruth's family. As long as you want, it doesn't matter if I give my virginity to Jack Smith..."
Ezra frowned. "Beth, what do you mean?"
Beth Ruth seemed to have just remembered the existence of the person beside her. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of panic, and she hurriedly said, "No... Ezra, I, I didn't say anything!"
The name Jack Smith had almost become a taboo for Ezra.
It was because of this man that he had been separated from Beth Ruth for three whole years.
Three years ago, Beth Ruth was sent abroad for recuperation. In addition to treating her heart disease, there was also depression brought to her by the accident that year.
That year, in Ruth's family, Beth Ruth was discovered by Mrs. Ruth and the nanny that she slept with the butler's son, Jack Smith!
The room was in chaos, and the scene of debauchery almost made Mrs. Ruth faint.
Later, Mr. Ruth and Ezra immediately arrived. After Jack Smith was held by the bodyguards, Beth Ruth cried and said that she had been raped by Jack Smith. She could not resist so she pretended to obey.
Perhaps because she was too frightened, Beth Ruth had a heart attack that night, and Ezra did not sleep for a few nights. He did not eat or drink and sat beside her hospital bed.
Perhaps it was because Arthur James could not bear to see his grandson lose his mind for this woman, or even abandon the company, Arthur James sent Beth Ruth abroad in the name of "receiving treatment".
In order to force him to break up with Beth Ruth, he even arranged for Arabella to marry him.
Ezra never mentioned what happened three years ago. He was afraid that Beth Ruth would remember this bad memory, but today she actually took the initiative to mention it and some inside stories that he had never known!
"Is what you just said true? Tell me the truth!"
Beth Ruth's body trembled slightly. She avoided the man's sight until she could not avoid it and cried, "It's true! At that time, Jack Smith admitted that it was my sister who asked him to... As you know, my sister has always liked you, but we were together at that time, so she..."
He knew what she had to say next.
The veins on Ezra's face suddenly bulged, and the anger in his heart made the man's face become ferocious.
He grabbed Arabella's wrist and asked harshly, "It was you three years ago? How dare you! Did you do everything you could to get me to marry you? How dare you hurt such a simple girl like Beth?"
Arabella's face turned pale and she shook her head in disbelief. "No, Ezra. I didn't know about this at all!"
"Sister, I didn't tell anyone else about it because we were sisters. Why did you hurt me again and again? Do you hate me so much?" Beth Ruth looked at her with a sad expression, crying very hard.
Ezra flung her wrist away, his gaze was ruthless, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Arabella, if what Beth said is true, even if grandfather protects you, I will definitely not let you off!"
Arabella was pushed back a few steps by the force, and only then did she keep her balance. She raised her head and looked at him stubbornly, "What happened three years ago has nothing to do with me! Yes, I do like you, but even so, I won't let Jack Smith ruin Beth Ruth's life!"
"I won't do such a despicable thing!"
She said it loudly and forcefully. It was her pride as the elder daughter of Ruth's family!
Ezra hesitated for a moment.
Although he didn't like Arabella, he had to admit that this woman was very arrogant in her bones. She didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing...
But Beth would never lie to him!
Ezra frowned and immediately picked up Beth Ruth. He glanced at Arabella coldly, "You better pray that what you said is true, otherwise..."
His words were full of threat.
Arabella stared blankly at the man's back, her tears falling like broken pearls.
"Why..."
Five years of secret love, three years of marriage, in the end, all she said and did could not compare to Beth Ruth's few words!
Back then, when Beth Ruth was raped, it shocked the entire Ruth's family. She was no exception.
After Jack Smith was sent to prison by Ezra, Ruth's family's old housekeeper, who was also Jack Smith's father, resigned and returned to the countryside.
She had thought that this matter would end just like that, but in the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and she had become the "mastermind"!
The stabbing pain in her heart swept over. She clutched her chest and slowly squatted on the ground.
"Ezra, it hurts so much..."
Not far away, the man standing in the corner curled his lips. His scattered black hair covered his delicate eyes.
"Interesting..."
