Chapter 216: Chapter 216: She’s after my money, what are you after?
Brandon Piers’ questioning made the atmosphere in the sickroom tense.
Pullan felt that Abigail was not that kind of person, but Abigail said nothing. He wanted to explain for her, but was scared back by a look from Brandon Piers, and had to whisper to Abigail, “Miss Abigail, please explain to the second young master quickly.”
Ruby Green witnessed the scene clearly, suppressing the smile at the corner of her mouth, looking as if she was only thinking about Brandon Piers.
Diana Edith, unlike Ruby Green, was not so good at acting. Ever since she broke her wrist last time, she had been bearing a grudge against Abigail. Now, finally with a chance to bring Abigail down, how could she hold back? “Second young master, of course, what our Miss said is true. This fatty has always been restless, flirting with you while being ambiguous with Master Stone. Quite the feat.”
“Noise.” Brandon Piers was displeased.
Diana Edith immediately silenced herself.
Abigail didn’t expect Ruby Green to ambush her here, but her expression did not change. She looked back at the man, “She’s right.”
Even though the content was deliberately edited, the meaning was more or less the same. She had indeed said that at the time.
Abigail, always proud, naturally would not defend herself for such things. She remained silent for a moment before admitting it without hesitation.
As soon as she spoke, Ruby Green almost burst out laughing.
Ruby Green did not expect Abigail to admit it so readily. Her eyes sparkled with the joy of victory, then she looked at Brandon Piers with suppressed grievances. “Second young master, I did not wrongly accuse Abigail. She said these words herself. She really is not suitable for you.”
“If she is not suitable, you are suitable?” Brandon Piers, long impatient with this woman, asked sarcastically.
But Ruby Green, too excited, did not detect the disgust in Brandon Piers’ voice and almost nodded happily. However, knowing that the person in front of her was not like others, she spoke modestly, “I don’t mean that. I just don’t want the second young master to be…”
“Since you’re not, Pullan, see the guest out.” Brandon Piers’ tone shifted to laziness as he ordered her to leave.
Ruby Green, “Second young master…” I am!
Suddenly interrupted, and hearing Brandon Piers asking to have her sent away, Ruby Green was a bit stunned. This wasn’t what she imagined.
“Miss Green, please.” Without waiting for Ruby Green to finish, Pullan stepped forward, making a gesture to invite her out. He had invited Abigail over without explaining anything, feeling guilty, so he was particularly diligent in seeing Ruby Green off.
But Ruby Green was unwilling to leave. She had not yet seen the second young master humiliate and drive away Abigail. How could she leave?
“Second young master, I know it was wrong to hide Teddy’s matter before, but I am sincere to you. We are the most suitable. Abigail is just after the Piers’ money…” Ignoring the injury on her leg, Ruby Green lunged toward Brandon Piers’ sickbed.
Pullan could not raise his hand against a woman, he blocked her, “Miss Green, please respect yourself.”
“Second young master…”
“She’s after my money. Then what are you after?” Brandon Piers suddenly asked.
Ruby Green’s action halted, “I love you!”
“Love me what?” Brandon Piers suddenly asked with interest, glancing at Abigail.
“I… love you… as long as it’s you, I love everything about you.” After she finished, Ruby Green shyly lowered her head.
Brandon Piers raised an eyebrow, “Love everything, huh? Doesn’t that also include my money?”
Ruby Green, “…Second young master, that’s not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand me. I love your every expression, love your wisdom, love your handsomeness, love your gentlemanly elegance, love everything about you. For this love, I am willing to give everything for you.”
Abigail truly did not expect to witness Ruby Green’s crazed confession to Brandon Piers. For a moment, it felt like she swallowed a fly. Thinking back to earlier, Brandon Piers had been resolute about not breaking the engagement for Ruby Green, although she still did not know why he changed his mind at the engagement scene.
But at this moment, she suddenly couldn’t quite figure out Brandon Piers. She looked at the man, only to find Brandon Piers looking right back at her.
Abigail was stunned. Why was he looking at her?
