Chapter 364
Summer had witnessed the entire thing
But unlike Fiona, she had not rushed forward to help, so she had not been dragged into it.
After returning to her room, she wanted to throw a couple of pieces of clothing down to Dora and Fiona.
But the hallway was full of Stella’s people.
On top of that, her room did not face that side of the house. Only Stella’s current room did.
And Summer could not exactly go into Stella’s room to throw clothes down.
Just then, Ruby called her.
The moment Summer picked up, she burst into aggrieved tears. “Mom…”
On the other end, Ruby was startled by her tone. “What happened? Why are you crying?”
“You stupid girl. I told you before, a woman absolutely cannot cry after giving birth. Did everything I said go in one ear and out the other?”
Ruby sounded restless and irritated as she scolded her.
From her tone, it was obvious she was dealing with a pile of problems herself.
Summer asked, “Mom, when are you coming back?”
When she asked that, her voice was full of grievance.
She truly could not take it anymore.
What kind of mess was this?
Before, Dora had seemed so fierce when dealing with Stella. But now?
Stella had shut her down completely. Dora could not even fight back.
Seeing that Dora could not be relied on, Summer suddenly felt as if she had lost her only Support.
That only made her miss Ruby even more.
Ruby said, “I haven’t finished dealing with things here. What am I supposed to come back for?”
Right now, no one should even mention returning to Harbor City to her. The moment it came up, she became furious.
The people over there had clearly promised to help and said the customs issue would be loosened soon.
But she had been waiting for days, and there was still no news.
The longer it dragged on, the more anxious Ruby became.
Especially with the fines from Eirden hanging over her. Just thinking about them made her even more frantic.

If this matter was not resolved soon, the fines and penalty fees would drive her insane.
Hearing Ruby’s impatient tone, Summer felt even more wronged. “But didn’t you say before that you’d be back soon?”
“Yes, I did say that. But the matter still isn’t settled. What do you expect me to do?”
For this issue, Ruby had already spent nearly ten million.
If it still could not be resolved, then this time…
She might really be finished.
Thinking of the astronomical’fines and breach-of-contract penalties, Ruby felt a chill all over.
If she could not handle this properly, she would go bankrupt.
“By the way, what did Evan say about Andrew?”
At the mention of Andrew, Summer’s expression darkened at once.
She thought of what Stella had said to her earlier.
“Evan won’t even talk to me right now. Mom, you have no idea how outrageous Stella is being. She’s moved straight into…”
“I don’t care what method you use. You have to get Andrew out immediately. Go talk to your mother-in- law properly!”
Before Summer could finish, Harold cut her off coldly.
Hearing Ruby’s forceful tone over the phone, Summer felt even more suffocated.
She sniffled and was about to say something else.
But Ruby had no time to talk to her anymore. She only said briefly, “That’s it for now. I’m hanging up. Remember, hurry up with Wesley’s matter.”
With that, Ruby hung up.
Summer closed her eyes, almost wanting to smash her phone.
Andrew, Andrew, Andrew.
What exactly was Andrew’s relationship with her mother?
Why did Ruby keep calling personally, again and again, to remind her to save him?
If Summer could save him, would she not have done it already?
Ruby should take a look at Evan’s current attitude toward her first.
Seeing how much Ruby cared about Andrew made Summer so angry her teeth itched.
