Chapter 898

However, Madam Lou still did not want Melody Fox to enter.

However, she suddenly remembered that Ruby had used the child in her stomach to threaten them for a friend today. Her eyelids suddenly lifted as she said, “You’re Manqing’s friend?”

Melody Fox looked at Mrs. Lou in confusion.

Mrs. Lou continued, “To help a friend of hers, she knelt down and begged us. She even threatened us with the life of the child in her stomach. You’re that friend, right?”

Melody Fox looked up in surprise.

It turned out that Ruby had actually done so much for her? Even the child in her stomach…

Melody Fox felt a lump in her throat. She was touched.

It seemed that Ruby was more sincere and concerned about her than she had imagined.

The last trace of dissatisfaction he had towards Ruby and Mason for hiding and deceiving her completely dissipated.

In that case, even if she did not have to deal with the Murphy family, she had to help the Taylor family.

“Yes, I’m that friend.” She nodded.

However, the way Madam Lou looked at her was much more indifferent than before.

“Since you’re Ruby’s friend, please understand us. It’s really inconvenient for our family today. Why don’t you come and look for Ruby another day…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruby’s voice came from inside.

“Mom, is my friend here?”

“Ruby!” Melody Fox raised her voice.

Soon, Ruby walked out.

“Melody, why aren’t you coming in?”

Melody Fox looked at Madam Lou meaningfully.

“Mrs. Taylor, do you accept my suggestion just now? I will stay in her room and not come out. It will definitely not affect your treatment.”

When Ruby heard this, she guessed the reason why Melody Fox did not enter the house to look for her.

She frowned and said, “Mom, isn’t imprisoning me for one night enough? Even my friends can’t come to my house to look for me? In that case, I won’t stay at home. I’ll just stay outside.”

“Child, why are you talking about imprisonment… We’re doing this for your own good. Since you’re in Insterimond, isn’t it bad for you to live outside?”

“Then please don’t stop my friend from looking for me!”

Ruby’s attitude was very tough.

After what happened tonight, she finally understood that her mother-in-law had not completely accepted her as her daughter-in-law after so many years.

All she cared about was the child in her stomach.

However, even though she was pregnant with Mason’s child, her mother-in-law cared more about her eldest son than her second son Mason.

Since that was the case, there was no need for her to be humble to her mother-in-law.

“I’ll give you two choices. Either I move out, or I let my friend through the door.”

“You, you… Is this the attitude you should have when talking to me? Ruby, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re pregnant with our Taylor’s family seed! If you dare to do this again, do you believe that I’ll immediately ask Mason to divorce you?!”

“Divorce?” Ruby said coldly, “What era are we in now? Do you think women can’t live after a divorce? Besides, I don’t believe that Mason Taylor will divorce me just because of one word from you. If he says the word divorce to me because of you, I’ll immediately go to city hall! I don’t want such a husband!”

“You-“

Madam Lou was so angry that her face turned green.

However, she knew very well that Ruby was right. Mason would not listen to her and divorce Ruby.

Back then, to marry Ruby, her youngest son had even given up the Taylor Corporation’s inheritance rights. It was still because she couldn’t bear to part with her son that Mason continued to work in the Taylor Corporation’s businesses.

Even so, Mason still chose Silverlake’s branch office for this vixen and did not choose to stay in Insterimond.

It could be seen how much importance her son Mason placed on this vixen.

Between her and Ruby, Mrs. Lou didn’t have the confidence that Mason would choose her.

Her face was ashen. Just as she was about to curse Ruby, a woman in pajamas rushed out.

“Mom! Is the doctor here?”

Melody Fox turned to look. The woman’s appearance was still considered iconic, but her slender eyes gave off an overbearing feeling.

Her eyes were black and blue as if she had not slept well for a few days.

Ruby saw that she was sizing up the woman and reminded her in a low voice, “This is my sister-in-law, Chang Jie. She doesn’t have a good relationship with me…”

Melody Fox nodded, indicating that he understood.

Mrs. Lou asked anxiously, “Why did you come out of the room? Has Rui’s illness acted up?”

“Yes!” Chang Jie said with reddened eyes, “Mom, quickly go and see if the doctor is here! He seems to be more serious than before today.”

Madam Lou’s eyes widened. She immediately grabbed the fake Daoist priest’s wide sleeve and said, “Master, please save my son! As long as you save him, I’ll give you 2 million dollars!”

“2 million dollars…” the fake Daoist was speechless.

the Murphy family had only given him 200 thousand dollars. It seemed that he could earn an extra sum of money.

Chang Jie asked Mrs. Lou in confusion, “Mom, who is this?” “This is the master sent by the Murphy family.”

Chang Jie firmly believed that the Murphy family could cure her husband’s illness and hurriedly begged the fake Daoist priest.

“Master, please save my husband!”

“Yes, Master, please!”

The fake Daoist priest stroked his beard and suppressed the greed in his heart. “Don’t worry, I can cure him. Let’s go!”

At this moment, the fake Daoist priest could not care less about Melody Fox. He directly let Mrs. Lou lead the way.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Melody Fox pulled Ruby’s hand and was about to walk in when Chang Jie stopped him.

“Stop! Who are you?”

Chang Jie’s gaze was unfriendly as she stared at Melody Fox warily.

Ruby, who was beside her, introduced her. “Her surname is Fox. She’s my friend. Her medical skills are very good. I got pregnant because I took her medicine. Perhaps she can take a look at Big Brother and Dad’s illness.”

“No need!” Chang Jie refused coldly. “the Murphy family has already sent someone over. There’s no need for another person of unknown origin. Besides, who knows if you have ill intentions and deliberately don’t want my husband to recover?”

Ruby’s expression changed.

“Sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense. Are you saying that I caused my Eldest Brother and Father to fall sick? Do you believe that if you spout nonsense again, I’ll sue you for slander?”

Chang Jie narrowed her eyes and said, “Sue me? The family has already become like this, and you still want to sue me? Are you so anxious that you’re showing your fox tail? Besides, if something happens to Dad and Ah Rui, you and Mason will be the biggest beneficiaries. Even the police will list you and your wife as the first suspects, right? I think you two are regretting giving up the inheritance back then and are deliberately plotting to harm my husband now!”

Ruby was so angry that her face turned green.

“You’re slandering us!”

“Ruby!” Melody Fox pulled Ruby’s sleeve and said, ” Don’t be angry with such a person. There’s still a baby in your stomach.”
