Laura Quincy took a deep breath; at this moment, no matter what she explained, no one would believe her. Ruth Leighton sure played her cards well!
She turned to leave. Right now, the only correct choice was to distance herself from the conflict. Arguing with Ruth Leighton in the street was meaningless; the audience had too subjective a view on the matter. There was no need for her to explain everything to everyone—that would be too exhausting.
Ruth Leighton would not miss such a good opportunity and immediately stepped in front of Laura Quincy, "What? Feeling guilty and want to leave? Now that you've latched onto Fourth Young Master Hawthorne, you're living large and have no regard for us, but Laura, you can't be so lacking in conscience! Even if you want to punish me, you can't ignore your father!"
She spoke with deep emotion, almost on the verge of tears.
Laura Quincy could only think to herself how it's a pity Ruth hadn't become an actress!
