Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 1243

"What's wrong, did they bully you?"

Peter was a little worried about the situation.

"Chaya hit me, and she stepped up to help me block it, and then she passed out."

The 'she', naturally, refers to Ruth.

"It's good that it's okay, it's good that you're okay."

Peter patted her back, soothing her, and said, "Chaya in how hard to hit, will not be to death, should be fine."

"That's true."

Adriana nodded quite agreeably.

After all, there is still use value, Chaya certainly will not use the maximum force.

"Let's wait and see what comes out of it."

"Good."

Adriana listened to Peter and the two sat in the living room.

Not long after, Archie came over, "Adri, Ruth let you in."

Adriana's little face screwed up, a little resistant, not wanting to go in.

"The patriarch and the others have gone, only Ruth is there."

Archie told Adriana what was going on inside, and Adriana got up and went.

After she left, Archie looked at Peter and walked over to sit beside him, "All these years under the same roof, never had a good conversation with you."

He spoke up.

"Yes, I also never thought that Third Uncle would be so capable and deeply hidden."

Peter raised his eyebrows at him, and his lips curved up in a curve.

......

Adriana was led by the maid to the chamber, where she met Ruth lying on the bed, her head wrapped in gauze and stained with blood.

It seems that the stick was really not a light hit.

Standing at the head of the bed, looking at the pale Ruth, Adriana had mixed feelings and didn't even know how to speak.

"Sit down."

Ruth propped her hands on the bed and sat up, leaning on the head of the bed.

Seeing her drooping little face and depressed look, it seems that she can feel her guilt and full of apologies.

Ruth couldn't help herself, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

She reached out and touched her head, "It's just some superficial injuries, it's not affecting."

Hearing her glance, Adriana was secretly relieved, "What did you call me over for?"

She asked.

"It's nothing, just wanted to talk to you."

"There's nothing to talk about between you and me."

Adriana didn't want to talk to her.

"Actually, if you really don't want to stay at Obren, there is another way."

Ruth said.

One more way?

Adriana's eyes lit up as if she saw hope, "What method?"

She always thought it was a dead end that couldn't be untied,but now Ruth says there is a way to stop Obren.

When she thought about it, it really made her happy and excited.

"The method is more troublesome, I will discuss it with your grandmother. I am talking to you today because I hope you can talk to Sandra and ask her opinion, if she also agrees. I can then guarantee you two sisters, forever free from Obren bondage."

She said with all sincerity.

"I just don't understand why Obren has so many rules and regulations, old-fashioned ideas, let the wise not use, but must find a person like me who does not know anything. You should understand, Obren clan chief holds not only a position, there are thousands of Obren civilians' safety and food, clothing and housing. I simply can not be competent."

She is really not up to the task.

But more than that, she didn't want to stay at Obren.

"Well, you're right about everything."

Ruth did not refute Adriana's words.

Available at ......

In any case, Obren's rules are here, and it's not something she can do immediately if she wants to get rid of those stereotypes.

"All right, go back and think about it."

Ruth just to talk to her about what just happened, but it was just a few words, and then she was told to leave.

Adriana was a little puzzled, but finally said nothing and got up to leave.

As she walked to the door, she said, "Let Archie in."

"Oh."

Adriana answered and went out.

When she walked to the living room, Archie and Peter were both talking. She relayed Ruth's words to Archie and left with Peter.

Walking out of Topiary Mansion, Peter asked, "What did she say to you?"

"I don't know, I always felt like she was beaten up a bit and her attitude changed a lot. And said if I didn't want to stay at Obren, there was another way."

"What method?"

"Not sure, she didn't say."

Adriana shook her head, "It's true that she didn't say what the method was, but looking at that look, it was sincere, not like she was lying."

There are times when the honesty between people can be observed through the eyes of the.

Eyes that do not lie.

Topiary Mansion, the box room.

Archie entered the compartment, went to the bedside, looked at Ruth's pale cheek, raised his hand and caressed her cheek, "Why are you so stupid? Wouldn't you take the maid and hide?"

"What a big deal, can stand it."

Ruth holds Archie's hand and purses her lips in a smile.

The smile from the heart, but somehow with a sadness.

"I talked to Adri, that girl does not want to stay in Obren at all, the attitude is very firm. I think ...... she does not want to stay since she does not want to stay, so do not keep her."

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. Celine is in Obren and has been growing up under the care of her mother, also a little princess. No matter how to say, she is better than Adri that girl to live some. We ...... as parents, can not be too selfish."

Ruth sniffled, only to feel her nostrils sink and her eyes well up with tears.

Seeing her so sad, Archie was heartbroken, moved his body, also leaned on the bed, hugged her in his arms, "Yes, I know that both children are not easy. But now there is really no way, you just said not to let her stay in Obren, and how to explain to your mother?"

His question led Ruth's gaze to stagnate, her face sunk, and a faint air of melancholy flowed between her brows.

After a moment, she said, "It's not like there's no other way."

"Hmm? What's the solution?"

I thought the future would be better, but I never thought that it would still come to a dead end.

"Archie, Adri is my child. She's right, being born and not raised is the biggest sin I've ever committed as a mother and can't make up for it in my life. There's only so much I can do now, otherwise, what? Watch my child suffer alone?"

She couldn't bear the thought.

Although Ruth's words were right, and Archie knew it, he could not let go.

He added: "Even if you agree, your mother will not agree. And I, moreover, can't bear to see you suffer."

"Come on. It's a few fifty years old, what is there to give up or not? We experienced a lot when we were young, but we have enjoyed what we should enjoy. But Adri, that girl, a lifetime of suffering, the rest of my life, I can not see her suffering. Otherwise, it would be a lifetime of sin for me as a mother. Even if I die, I will not die in peace."

This comment, in turn, made Archie fall into silence.

He didn't squeak for a long time.

The compartment was silent and quiet, so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

"You've thought this through?"

Archie asked.

Ruth was silent for a few seconds and said clearly, word for word, "Well, think about it."

"If you really think about it, don't tell your mother. She, for one, will not approve."

Archie knows Chaya very well.

But Ruth had a glimmer of hope, "How would you know without asking?"

"Ruth, don't be naive. What do you think Jonathan is? And why do you think Bethany is in the right elder's seat?"

"Why?"

Ruth suddenly found Archie's words a little deep and difficult to understand.

"Because ......Bethany is your mother's child."

"What?"

Ruth sat up at once and looked at Archie incredulously, "Are you kidding me, how is that possible?"

"You don't believe? Well, I have a way to make you believe."

With that, Archie got up and walked out.

He left for about ten minutes, then returned, handing Ruth a copy of the information, "Do you know this man?"

The first page of the profile has a photo of the person on ......

"I know her, isn't she Obren's famous stable mother."

Ruth said, pointing to the photo.

"Yes, that's her. Back then your mother had been bedridden for a while and hadn't come out for months. Not because she was really sick, but because she was pregnant at that time, but hid it from all the people. Because at her side, the most trusted person is Jonathan, with Jonathan as a cover, who can find out? This steady woman is the one who is beside your mother. She said it herself, how can it be false?"

Archie set aside the first page of information, and the information on top of the second page was the DNA identification.

"This is the paternity test of your mother and Bethany."

Archie pointed to the test results, which clearly stated that the two were mother and son.

At this moment, Ruth's mind was blank, looking at the information, the whole brain to explode like buzzing.

Seeing her dumbfounded, Archie didn't continue.

Instead, he put the information aside, lit it with a lighter, burned it all and then poured a glass of water over it to wipe away the evidence in one fell swoop.

"Why do you think Chaya insists on letting Adriana take over the patriarchal position? To put it bluntly, she just wants to hand over the real power to Jonathan and Bethany. she made up her mind to do so, do you think, if you put forward your idea, she would agree?"

All along, Archie knew about it.

But because the matter does not affect anything, in order not to add to Ruth's psychological burden, he kept things to himself.
