SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 952 - 950: ENVY BREEDS NOTORIOUS THOUGHTS 3
Ruby laughed mockingly as she looked at Mary.
It was now clear that when Mary was helping, she was gloating inwardly and reveling in her poor status. She wasn’t helping because she had to but to demean her and uplift herself. How can a person have such a dark heart?
When the spectators heard that, they couldn’t help but look at the friends closely.
Unfortunately, none of them recognized Ruby at all. So, they could only try to piece the puzzles together.
"I .... You ...." Mary tried to retort but her tongue felt tied, she could only watch as her other friends looked at her with disappointed gazes.
She didn’t like that at all.
She wanted to stop Ruby from speaking further but Ruby wasn’t having it at all.
"Just because I had some money, I never looked down on anyone. How did I even have time to do so when I just returned but you are making it look as if I am using my authority to down on you. Mary, I am truly disappointed in you!" she shook her head as she looked disappointedly at Mary.
Upon hearing that, all the words that Mary couldn’t say seem to flow on her tongue as she berated Ruby with reddened eyes.
"Huh, grateful! Can you touch your heart and say that wholeheartedly? All these months, what have you done to show that you are grateful? I _" however, she was unfortunately cut off by the friend who was holding her, Linda.
"Mary, you better watch your words. I think that it’s good if we cancel this meetup. You should go home and ponder over your words!" Linda was feeling disturbed by what she heard.
After analyzing a few scenarios, she looked at Mary with a disappointed gaze. She didn’t like where her thoughts were going.
She was truly afraid of confronting Mary in public. No matter what, they have been friends for years. It was better to deal with this matter in private.
Mary glared at Linda before looking at Ruby and shamelessly said, "Since you think that I am dark-hearted, then let’s end our friendship here!" before shrugging away from Linda and marching away.
Ruby dumbfoundedly stood there, watching as Mary left after breaking off the friendship as if she deserved it. However, she didn’t feel pain at the friendship ending.
She felt somewhat relieved. She couldn’t help but remember when Diamond told her to make quality friends and not many friends.
She must have meant this. If all friends were like this, then what would she do?
The other three friends embarrassed by what had just happened, looked at Ruby and said apologetically.
"How about we meet another day?"
It was impossible to continue with all the mess.
Ruby wasn’t in the mood to pretend as well. she readily agreed with a forced smile.
"Um, let’s talk on the phone, then," as for meeting, who knows?
Seeing that she had agreed, the other three felt relieved before rushing towards Mary. They couldn’t let Mary go alone.
Ruby could only watch them leave with a heavy heart.
Even when Mary was in the wrong, her friends still chose her. She felt somewhat upset.
She sighed deeply as she turned around to return to the parking lot where she had left her car. Perhaps it would do her good to join her mother and sister.
With that thought in mind, she no longer looked back but marched forward with her head held high.
The spectators watching Ruby leaving couldn’t help but whisper as they shook their heads.
"I am truly puzzled by how jealousy can break relationships!"
"Haha, why are you acting as if you haven’t seen something like this."
"It’s simply shocking. Just how rich is the other girl for that one to explode like that?"
"I am curious as well. She doesn’t seem to be wearing expensive clothes. Without that girl talking about wealth, I wouldn’t think that she was rich."
"But you can tell she has a pretty face!"
"How did you see it when she was wearing a mask?"
"Those eyes and you tell me that you are blind?"
The scene was left with the gossipmongers and the people involved were already gone.
-----
Ruby left in her car, and sighed deeply for a long time. She wanted to find an outlet to vent these emotions. Otherwise, she might be found out when she gets home.
With that in mind, she thought of someone to call and after some deliberations, she found the right person though it sounded tricky. But somehow, she felt that this person would be able to give her an unbiased opinion.
With that faith, she nervously made a call and after several rings, just when she was thinking the call wouldn’t be answered, the other party did.
She sighed with relief as she heard that familiar voice that no longer made her heart feel ripples like it used to.
[Ruby, is there something?] upon hearing that, she couldn’t help but chuckled helplessly.
The caution in the tone was truly funny. She found the other person cute.
"I am sorry for calling unexpectedly like that, Waylon. I hope that you don’t mind," she apologized, knowing fully how he might be feeling puzzled by her certain call.
However, she couldn’t help herself.
Waylon was the first person who had rejected her firmly and didn’t raise her hopes high. Not only that, but since he was able to stand Diamond’s harsh advice in person, he should have a strong and decisive character. She wanted that for now.
[It’s fine. I just hope that everything is fine.]
"Not really but don’t worry, I am not calling regarding the past. I have already accepted the outcome. I won’t make things difficult for you," she said seriously, hoping that he would lower his guard against her.
She chuckled lightly upon hearing him sighing with relief before saying, "I just faced a huge problem and wanted someone who could give it to me straight and help shed some light."
[Oh, wouldn’t your sister be the right person for that?] he sounded puzzled as he asked that.
Her face twitched upon hearing that but she knew that he was right. However, there was one tiny problem.
