Chapter 1628
At first, Ruth hadn't fully grasped the severity of her situation. But as the days passed, the reality became unmistakably clear.
Without a letter of recommendation and with Mona relentlessly pressing charges, she knew her chances of avoiding prison were slim. There was still a chance, however, if Mona spoke up for her, framing the whole ordeal as a misunderstanding. If that happened, Ruth might escape jail time.
Ruth looked at Skylar with a hopeful expression. She had already lowered herself as much as she could, so surely Skylar would take the opportunity to help.
Once Steven, Charles, and Harvey welcomed her back into the fold, she would speak highly of Skylar in front of them.
For Skylar, it would be a win-win situation. Skylar understood what Ruth was trying to do, and it was clear that Ruth had no remorse for her actions. She still dreamed of escaping the consequences. Asking Skylar to intervene with Steven and Mona was a flawed logic, and Skylar knew it. Ruth stared at Skylar, her frown deepening. "Why aren't you saying anything? This wouldn't be hard for you. If you help me, I'll treat you like a sister. It's a win-win for you," she insisted.
Skylar smiled coldly. "I have no relationship with you, and neither do Steven, Charles, or Harvey. The only way you'll get out of here is by facing the law and truly realizing your mistakes.
"You chose to abduct Mona and extort money with your accomplices, so you should understand the consequences. Make sure you reflect on your actions and reform while you're in there!"
"What did you say? I've already acknowledged my mistake. Why are you still being so unforgiving? Wait a second... I'm also a victim here.
"It was Jed-he threatened me and forced me to help him abduct Mona. It wasn't my idea. I'm innocent!" Ruth shouted, panic in her voice, hoping to get Skylar's help.
But Skylar was too relentless. She refused to help and even took pleasure in making things worse, wanting Ruth to stay behind bars.
Over the next few days, Ruth continued to cause trouble. After failing to get anything from Skylar, she tried to get Steven and Harvey to visit her.
But neither of them was in Jipsburg at the time-one was filming abroad and wouldn't be back for a while, while the other was on a business trip and wouldn't return for at least a month.
Mona, the actual victim, would never agree to see Ruth.noveldrama
Gradually, people started to realize that Ruth was only making a scene. She wasn't suicidal. After all, someone so young wouldn't seriously consider taking their own life.
Her family must have spoiled her since childhood, with no one teaching her proper manners.
By coincidence, another person who happened to know Ruth entered the facility a few days ago. They were middle school classmates.
Reunions with old classmates were usually pleasant, but Ruth's expression darkened as soon as she saw this one. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, look at this. I never thought
the day would come when you'd end up here too. Didn't you use to act all arrogant back in school? You even said that if you killed me, there'd be no consequences for you.

"Isn't your family known for using money to cover everything up? You bullied all the prettier girls in class, and I had to drop out because of you. I didn't even finish high school. You ruined my life, do you understand? If it weren't for you, I'd probably be living a much better life right now."
Her former classmate, once a victim of Ruth's bullying, was now taller and more muscular, towering over Ruth. She kicked Ruth and scratched her face with her nails.
Within minutes, Ruth was covered in blood.
At a café, Simona swirled her coffee in her cup.
