After leaving the study, Jane Howard went upstairs to return to her room. Just as she was about to enter her room, she saw Ruby Carter rushing toward her with a sullen face. Before Jane could react, she felt a blur in front of her eyes followed by a "smack" sound, her face burning with pain. She cried out and looked at Ruby Carter, shouting, "Ruby Carter, how dare you slap me!"
Ruby Carter approached her aggressively, pointing her finger at Jane's nose, gritting her teeth and saying, "So what if I slapped you? Try telling my dad and see if he cares! How dare you insult me; don't even look at what you are! A cheap woman who steals other people's husbands!"
Although Jane felt angry in her heart, she didn't dare to cause trouble at this time. What if she annoyed Sebastian Carter and he drove her out of the house?
