1305 Words
"Ah!" Before the words were finished, she suddenly shrieked, her body leaned back, and fell straight to the ground. Arabella frowned and puzzled, "What are you pretending? I didn't push you ..." "Beth!" Together with her voice was an anxious male voice. Before Arabella could react, a figure suddenly ran up to her quickly, knocking her out of the way and picking up Beth Ruth straight from the ground. "Beth, are you OK?" Arabella was knocked out unprepared, her feet almost didn't stand still, but her hand subconsciously covered her stomach. When she looked up again, Beth Ruth had already stood up with Ezra's help, and there was an urgency and concern in the man's eyes that she hadn't seen... Beth Ruth raised her eyes, but her gaze was stunned when she came in contact with Arabella's hand covering her stomach. Before she could think about it, she heard Ezra's icy tone ringing in her ears, "Arabella, are you crazy? How dare you push her?" The man's deep eyes stared hard at Arabella with fury. Arabella pursed her lips. Her face is a little white. This man didn't ask for a reason, he came up and doubted her. Was that the kind of bad person she was in his mind? "I ..." Arabella explanation words were interrupted by Beth Ruth crying, "Arabella, if this can take your mind off it, I won't resist whatever you do..." Said and looked at Ezra, crying pearly, "Brother Ezra, please don't blame sister. It's all my fault ... I should not have come back. I should have jumped to my death when it happened three years ago. Coming back would only have made things worse for everyone. No one would have welcomed me back at all..." "Beth, don't say anything stupid! I'm glad you're back." The man wrapped his arms around Beth Ruth heartily, the heartache and pity on his face undisguised. The scene in front of her stung Arabella, and anger mixed with aggression came together. "That's enough!" She had put up with it, again and again, but Beth Ruth had never restrained herself, and even dared to touch the bottom line, "You know best in your own mind whether I pushed you or not, what's the point of pretending here?" Beth Ruth covered her chest to catch her breath, like a delicate little flower climbing close to Ezra, "Arabella, I know you don't like me, and I'll do anything you want me to do as long as it doesn't upset you! I don't blame you for what happened three years ago, and I'm willing to forgive Jack Smith for what he did. Anyway, this life of mine is the Ruth's family, as long as it's my sister's will, it doesn't matter if my body is given to him..." Ezra frowned fiercely, "Beth, what do you mean by that?!" Beth Ruth seemed to have just remembered the presence of people around her, a trace of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes, and hurriedly said, "No ... Ezra, I... I didn't say anything!" The name Jack Smith had almost become a forbidden word in 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 to London, not only to treat the heart condition she was born with, but also because of the depression that the accident brought on her that year. That year, Beth Ruth was discovered by her mother and nanny in the Ruth's villa, having an illicit affair with the butler's son Jack Smith! The room was in chaos, and the lustful scene almost made Beth's mother Grace Ruth faint with fear. After Jack Smith was controlled by the bodyguard, Beth Ruth cried and said that she was raped by him and she couldn't struggle before she faked her submission. Perhaps the shock was too great that Beth Ruth suffered a heart attack that night, and Ezra stayed up for several nights, not eating or drinking, at her bedside. Perhaps because Arthur James couldn't bear to see his grandson get distracted by this woman and even leave the company behind like a madman, the old man sent Beth Ruth out of the country for what he called "therapy". In order to force Ezra to break off with Beth Ruth, Grandpa Arthur even arranged for Arabella to marry him. Ezra never mentioned what happened three years ago, because he was afraid Beth Ruth would remember those bad memories. But today she actually took the initiative to bring it up, even with words that he hadn't understood inside! "Is it true what you just said? Please tell me the truth!" Beth Ruth's body trembled slightly, she dodged the man's eyes, until she could not avoid it, then cried, "It's true! At that time Jack Smith has personally admitted that it was Sister that had sent him to... you also know, Arabella always loved you, but we were together at that time, so she ..." The latter words were known without saying. Ezra's veins instantly rippled, and the monstrous anger in his heart made the man's face become hideous. He grabbed Arabella's wrist and sternly pressed, "You did that three years ago? How dare you! You've done everything to get me to marry you. How dare you do this horrible thing to such an Innocent girl like Beth?" Arabella's face turned paled and she shook her head incredulously, "No, Ezra, I didn't anything about it!" "Arabella, I had already kept this matter to myself for the sake of our sisterhood, but why do you target me again and again, do you hate me so much?" Beth Ruth looked at her with a mournful expression, and cried very hard. Ezra threw away her wrist, her gaze was ruthless, and every word seemed to come out of his teeth, "Arabella, if what Beth said is true, even if grandpa protects you, I will never let you go!" Arabella was thrown back a few steps with great force before she steadied herself and looked up, her eyes stubbornly at him, "What happened three years ago has nothing to do with me! Yes, I did like you, but even so, I couldn't have let Jack Smith go and ruin Beth Ruth's virginity!" "I, Arabella, could never do such a despicable thing!" She said it loud and strong, with the pride she had in being Lady Ruth! Ezra hesitated for a moment. Although he disliked Arabella, he had to admit that this woman was too highbred and proud to be someone who would do such a thing ... But Beth would never lie to him! Ezra's eyebrows knitted together, then he picked up Beth Ruth horizontally and swept his eyes coldly at Arabella, "You better pray that what you said is true, or else ..." The unfinished words were heavy with a threat. Arabella stared blankly at the man's back, her tears falling like broken pearls. "Why ..." Five years of secret crush and three years as a couple, in the end, turned out to be nothing compared to just one word from Beth Ruth! When Beth Ruth was abused three years ago, the whole Ruth family was shocked, and she was no exception. After Jack Smith was sent to jail by Ezra, the old butler of the Ruth family, Jack Smith's father, also quit and went back to the countryside. Arabella thought this was the end of the story, but three years had passed and she had become the "mastermind"! The stabbing pain in her heart swept through her and she clutched her heart as she slowly crouched to the floor. "Ezra, my heart is aching..." Not far away, the man standing in the corner hooked his lips, his scattered dark hair hiding his delicate brow. "Interesting..."
