Marrying
Chapter 467
Valerie did not expect that she had guessed wrongly just now. Moreover, she was unsure if it was her imagination. Although Ruth and Valerie were fiercely butting heads, they looked a little fraid, as if they were hiding⦠or running away from somethingâ¦.
Valerie believed that only Matthew and Sophia Grant would be able to intimidate these two people around her. They actually made these two greedy people abandon their money. Could it be that Matthew had threatened them?
Speaking of which, Ruth stayed at his house that night and left the next day. She did not even return to the neighborhood, At that time, Valerie felt that it was a little strange. Now that she thought about it, Matthew Grant must have hidden it from her and secretly warned Ruth and Ethan Warren.
Valerie thought that this should be the reason, but even so, they could not solve the problem by taking her away in such a hurry. Could it be that they planned to use her to take revenge on Matthew?
Furthermoreâ¦
She glanced around and realized that there were two big bags around. There were some clothes and items stuffed into them.
Ethan and Ruth drove themselves into the state of poverty. Although there were not many of these things, Valerie could not help but suspect that this might be all they had.
They actually packed up all their belongings!
Were they leaving Kranson City completely?
How could this beâ¦.
Valerieâs heart sank. Seeing that Ruth was about to stuff the cloth into her mouth again, she quickly dodged and warned, âDonât, donât⦠Mom, I wonât try to escape. What youâre doing is illegal. If Matthew Grant finds out, he wonât let you off!â
Ruth laughed coldly, âDidnât you say that youâve cut ties with me? Now youâre admitting that Iâm your mother?â
Valerie did not want to disgust herself, but she could not provoke the two of them at this juncture. She panted and wheezed in a hoarse voice, âMom, as long as you donât do anything out of line, I will definitely persuade Matthew Grant not to hold it against you. Moreover, kidnapping is a criminal offence. In fact, you have to think carefully. You have worked hard for all these years. Although you donât have much assets, if you live in the village, it will be very comfortable. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? Can you bear to do that? Mom, think about it. If Big Brother finds out that you did such a thing, he wonât forgive youâ¦â
Ethan was unmoved, but Ruth felt like Valerie had hit the nail on the head. Hesitation was written all over her face as she mumbled, âJulian⦠and Aiden⦠I⦠If I leave, will I really not see them again?â
She hesitated and looked up at Ethan and tried to persuade him, Hubby, why donât we go back? Even if⦠ahem, thereâs no need for us to leave Kranson City, right? Besides, about the incident that yearâ¦â
Ethan glared at Ruth fiercely and interrupted, âIf youâre not afraid of getting into trouble, get out of the car as soon as possible. I wonât stop you. Otherwise, shut your mouth and feed Valerie some water. We still have to continue on our way!â
Ruth immediately stopped talking. She took out some water and fed two mouthfuls to Valerie. She was obviously a little frightened by Ethan, but she really could not bear to part with her son and grandson.
Valerie could tell that Ruth was hesitating, but in the end, she still had to convince Ethan. She licked her dry lips and was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy.
âNo⦠Valerie thought to herself.

Valerie looked at the water bottle with indignance. She realized that there was probably something wrong with the water, but she did not have time to think. Her vision became blurry bit by bit. She gritted her teeth and finally collapsed.
Ruth was stunned. She muttered, âShe, sheâsâ¦â
The water has been drugged. Tell her to be quiet on the way so that she wonât talk nonâstop on the way. She really convinced youâ¦â Ethan glared at Ruth gloomily.
Ruth immediately felt guilty, but she did not want to admit that she was almost convinced just now. She denied awkwardly, âI didnâtâ¦
âI donât care if you did or not. Iâm only warning you. If she escapes, inform Matthew Grant. Donât forget how many subordinates he has and how powerful the Grant family forces are! When the incident from that year is exposed, Ruth Warren, do you really think you can still live?â Ethan hissed.
Ruth was so frightened that her face turned pale. How could she dare to say no?
The last time she went to the Grant estate, the Grants could just release the dog and bite someone to death. She had seen it with her own eyes. She did not want to die! She did not want to be bitten to death by the dog!!
âIâm not going back! Letâs go! Letâs go!â Ruth shrieked.
âRemember what you said. If this happens again, donât blame me for being harsh on youâ¦â Ethan threatened,
Ethan was ruthless. Only by getting rid of Valerie could he feel at
