Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 700

In the afternoon, Ruby took an afternoon nap on the couch. Ever since Blaine came home, he was in the study room handling his work matters the whole time.

As Ruby was stretching her body in boredom and was thinking of what to do, the rattling exhaust noises of a car could be heard from outside.

As she looked through the window, she saw a black Bentley parked in the front yard and a young girl donning a crinoline dress alighted the car. Judging from her look, she looked about the same age as Ruby.

With her head held high, the girl ditched her driver and bodyguard behind and strode toward the entrance in her high heels.

The girl swept her gaze across the living room as she entered the house. As she did not see Blaine around, she knitted her exquisite brows and questioned Ruby who was in the living room, “Who are you? I’ve never seen you in Brother Blaine’s house previously. Are you a newly-hired maid in the house?”

However, Brother Blaine had explicitly mentioned before that he did not like to have any physical contact or interaction with girls. Why would he hire a young, beautiful maid to work at home?

Hmph, no matter how beautiful the maid was, no one could ever snatch Princess Holly’s limelight.

Ruby was not a person who was easy to deal with too. With her arms akimbo, she asked Holly, “Who are you then? You showed up in someone’s house all of a sudden and are making a fuss now. Don’t you find yourself a little rude?”

“How dare you accuse me? I’m the future wife of this Kingswood Mansion’s owner.” Holly glanced at her sideways and snickered. “It’s okay, I won’t bicker with you since you’re new here. As a princess, my reputation and status would be harmed if I were to bicker with a maid like you.”

With her arms crossed, she raised her brows and did not say a word. What was there to brag about being a princess? Wilson and her had kidnapped a princess from a small country as a hostage before becoming a spy for Country R.

“Where’s my brother, Blaine?”

Ruby did not bother to answer Holly. She went to the refrigerator, scooped out two spoonfuls of ice-cream into a small bowl. She then went to the tea room and happily enjoyed her ice-cream with her legs crossed. Judging from her act, she did not look like a maid at all.

Holly frowned and yelled at her impatiently, “Hey! Little Maid! I’m asking you a question! Did you hear me!”

Ruby was too lazy to bicker with her. To shut her mouth up and to regain the peace she had in the house earlier, she pointed her finger at the staircase, hinting to her that Blaine was upstairs without turning her head toward her.

Holly looked in the direction where Ruby pointed. Before going upstairs, she bit her lips in fury and said, “I’ll ask my brother to punish you.”

Ruby scooped a mouthful of strawberry ice-cream and put it into her mouth. With her mouth full, she answered Holly, “I’ll be waiting.”

The ice-cream melted in her mouth and she could taste the sweetness of the strawberry-flavored ice cream. The birds were chirping non-stop outside. With her legs crossed, she sat on the floor with her back leaning against the couch and her eyes squinted upon seeing a group of bodyguards donning a black suit through the French window that was facing the front yard. They were all Princess Holly’s bodyguards. What a pompous scene to witness.

…

A while later, Holly came downstairs with Blaine. Her hands were on Blaine’s arms and she muttered coquettishly into his ears.

“Brother, where have you been these days? Did my dad arrange too much work for you? If you feel exhausted, I will go home and criticize my dad about this.”

From the tea room, as Ruby heard Holly’s naive, ignorant words, she could not help but sneer.

This princess’s dad would be glad to hear that if Blaine genuinely did not want to work and just wanted to stay at home to rest.

As Holly heard her sneer, she frowned and glared at Ruby. “What’re you laughing about? Do you know who I am? Do you know the consequences of mocking a princess?”

Ruby sat on the floor, unperturbed by Holly’s words. She lifted her gaze slowly to look at them and sighed, “It’s my bad for ridiculing the princess. However, my princess, it’s the twenty-first century now and the Great Qing Dynasty has fallen long ago. I’m not your servant and even if I scorn at you, you can’t put me to jail right?”

“You!”

Holly was pissed at Ruby’s wittiness. However, she did not reprimand Ruby instead, she glimpsed at Blaine. As Blaine was right beside her, she could not lose her temper and lower her dignity to bicker with this maid. Besides, it would leave a bad impression on Blaine and he might think that she was not a virtuous and forgiving person.
