Chapter 427
Sweet Subterfuge
Bethanyâs hand was also very chubby, and although it was small her slap was very powerful Larissa winced with pain.
âSweethear!â A sharp female voice came from nearby, Before Larissa could straighten up, she saw someone running over out of the comer of her eye. In the next second, she was shoved to the around forcefully.
âWho are you? How dare you bully my daughter?! The woman in front of Larissa was unreasonable, and Larissa didnât even have to look to know that it was none other than Ruby Cole.
âMommy Aster quickly helped Larissa up and glared angrily at Ruby. âHow dare you push my mother?
My mom did not bully Bethany! Apologize to my mom!â
âAnd who are you. Ittle imbecile? Ruby locked down her nose at Aster, her gaze filed with disdain.
âRuby, youâve changed so much in the years we havenât seen each otherâ said Larissa with a smirk She had her head lowered the entire bime, so Ruby only saw her face clearly right then.
âLarissa?â Ruby was shocked, âWhy are you back? She stared at Aster in disbelief and pointed at him, saying. This This is your son?â
âYes.â Larissa held Asterâs hand tightly and said. âMy son is in the same class as your daughter. Your daughter bit him once, and I gave you a call before.â Ruby seemed to recall the incident and a look of unease came over her lace at once.
âSomy.â She laughed drily and her lone softened a ct more than before. I only hung up on you that time because I was in a bad mood. Donât take it to heart!â Her attitude was much more like before nowâfake and pretentious. Larissa found it familiar.
âI apologize to you and your son on my babyâs behall.â Ruby nodded apologetically and pulled her crying daughter off the ground. âWe have to go home now. See you next time!â The home Ruby was referring to was Kowanâs house. Larissa watched them go, her heart hurting as if someone had stabbed a needle into it.
The moment Ruby turned around, she immediately looked like a different person. Her smile disappeared completely and her expression was stormy. Her eyes were filled with hatred. How dare she! How dare Larissa live such a good life after Kevan abandoned her! how dare she look no different than before! She even looked healthier!
As for hersell, she was still not accepted by Kevanâs parents even though she had given Kevan a daughter. She also saw no hint of the Rogers familyâs wealth and riches. âItâs all your la. She kicked Bethanyâs leg and scolded her resentfully. âWhy couldnât you have been a boy? Why canât you earn your grandmotherâs affection? Why did you have to cause trouble at kindergarten?â
Bethany was scared out of her wits. Although her eg hurt, she dared not make a sound and only bit her lip harder, weeping slently. However, Ruby was still angry at the sight of her. âWhat are you crying about? You know nothing else other than to cryâ She raised her hand and smacked Bethany across the back of her head, making her fall forward onto the ground.
Bethany crashed to the ground, but she stood up again in Sorry. Mommy. I know I was wrong Please forgive me a flash, She pulled the hem of Rubyâs blouse and looked up saying miserably.â Ruby pulled Bethanyâs hand away with disgust and snapped. âCont touch me! Youâre litty! Il it wasnât for you to be the Rogers lam lyâs successor, I would never have given birth to a useless piece of rubbish like you
