In the end, only Madeleine's cries echoed throughout the room.
Ruby Gregory didn't disturb Madeleine, she just sat quietly beside her.
Madeleine cried for a long time, as if trying to exhaust all the sadness and grievances in her heart, only stopping when she lifted her head from her hands.
Ruby reached out for a tissue and handed it to Madeleine.
Madeleine wiped her tears and looked at Ruby. Even at this moment, her tone was still relaxed and teasing, "Actually, Ruby, I shouldn't be sad, right? At least I married Howard, and he'll be mine for the rest of his life. I made a fortune, didn't I?"
Ruby didn't respond, as she didn't know what to say.
She only knew that sometimes, gaining something could bring more sorrow and suffering than losing it.
Madeleine curled her lips, smiled, tidied her clothes, and drank a big gulp of water from the glass on the table. Then she turned to Ruby and asked, "What was the important matter you mentioned on the phone?"
