Chapter 14 " Laura . " I stopped her . " Don't tell Timothy . It's pointless. " Even if Laura told him , Timothy would just think I was making a mountain out of a molehill or that I'm putting on a pitiful act to compete with Yasmin . And even if he believed Laura , I no longer needed his regret or pity . With my insistence , she ultimately didn't make the call . Half an hour later , Ruby arrived at the hospital . When she saw how pale I looked , she snapped , " I told you not to go on a vegetarian diet with him ! Look at yourself now - you're gorgeous , yet you don't have a trace of color in your face ! " Her eyes reddened with distress as she cursed , " Timothy is such a jerk . Just wait ! There's no way that homewrecker's daughter is getting into Little Lights Kindergarten ! " I didn't want to drag Ruby into this , so I said , " Grant Corporation is a major shareholder in Little Lights . Don't offend him over me . Even if Daphne doesn't get into your kindergarten , he'll find her another one . " Ruby eyed Laura warily , seemingly afraid that she would report our conversation to Timothy . Before she could ask Laura to leave , the latter received a call from the Grant residence . Apparently , Timothy had bought a box of premium royal jelly at an auction , and it had just been delivered . Yasmin wanted Laura to return home and make her some desserts with it . There were plenty of maids at the villa . The fact tliat Yasmin had specifically asked for Laura to do this made it clear that she knew that Laura was with me . She wanted me isolated and stripped of everyone who cared about me , not just Timothy . I said to Laura , " Go home . I'll be fine with Ruby here . " Laura was ultimately a salaried employee . She gave me a worried look as she said , " Remember to call me if anything happens , Mrs. Grant . " I nodded . Ruby only got to the point once Laura was gone . " Josie York , you were never this spineless before ! Based on what Laura said earlier , that homewrecker is living in your house . Is that true ? How can you put up with that ? " " I'm not . I'm divorcing Timothy , and that's not changing . " She looked at me in astonishment . She and I had known each other since elementary school , so she'd witnessed my love for Timothy from the start . When he had suddenly become religious and I'd chosen to support him by adhering to his strict rules , Ruby had told me that I was done for . She even joked that if Timothy brought another woman home , I was so devoted to him that I would probably end up tending to his mistress even after she had his child . Who would've known that her prediction would come true ? It was even worse than she'd imagined , too . His mistress ' child was already three years old . Well , at least I didn't need to nurse Yasmin . The irony was almost laughable . 1/2 Chapter 14 +25 BONUS But now , I said calmly and rationally , " This time , I won't give in . I can't confront him head - on yet because my mother's condition depends on the cardiopulmonary device his company has developed . It won't be available for purchase for a month . " Ruby finally understood why I was staying and putting up with Timothy and Yasmin . At the mention of divorce , she said , " By the way , the lawyer that I got you works with my family often . I'll call her over to see what else we need for the process . " " Alright . " I nodded . While waiting for the lawyer , Ruby idly scrolled through Instagram . Yasmin had posted a picture of the premium royal jelly with the caption , " Even we entertainment industry workers need to love ourselves . We need the nourishment and glow ! I'll try this for you guys first . " Since her face was swollen from my slaps and punches yesterday , she used an old photo of herself . The comments were full of praise . " You're already gorgeous , Minnie ! Aren't you going to become a complete goddess after eating that royal jelly ? How do you expect us regular folks to survive this ? " " I know that royal jelly brand ! It's only available at auctions , and it's crazy expensive . It's worth more than gold! It's amazing for vitality and beauty , especially for women ! " " I'll never afford it in my lifetime , damn it . I'm so jealous of Minnie for being so pretty and rich ! " Ruby looked at Yasmin's rosy , glowing face in the photo . Then , she took in my pallid complexion . She gritted her teeth angrily and growled , " You're the one who needs the nourishment and vitality ! God , Timothy is blind . How could he give her something so good ? " As we were talking , the lawyer arrived . She was a sharp - looking woman in her 30s named Heather Quill . I had just finished explaining my marriage situation and my demands when I heard the voice of Jason Stone , one of Timothy's assistants , outside the room . " Mr. Grant , I think Mrs. Grant is in that hospital room . " Ruby and I froze . Was Timothy at the hospital ? What would he do if he found out I was speaking to a divorce lawyer ?
