My Heart only Beats for You

Tremaine's pupils grew larger the more he thought about this situation, until eventually he blinked and appeared

calm again.

His pupils had returned to normal.

He had a gut feeling that something wasn't right in this situation.

But now, he had cup with the best way to resolve it.

After having such a long political career, he had learned that sometimes being right or wrong wasn't the most

important thing after all. Balance was the most important thing to uphold. Tremaine then said, "Ruth, in that

case, you are forbidden from ever stepping into the Quartley Palace from now on."

Ruth nodded at Tremaine, and replied weakly. "Thank you, Mr. President."

Ruth returned to her bedroom to pack her things.

She realized that she didn't have a lot of things to pack up after all.

She had lived with Yuliana in the Quartley Palace for such a long time, but only had a few articles of clothing and

a few memorabilia with her. She could fit everything in a single backpack.

Just as Ruth was about to zip up her backpack, the door swung open.

Yuliana stepped in.

She said in a somewhat strange tone, "Ruth, despite everything, | will miss you. You seduced Zorion and slept

with him. I didn't just convince Tremaine to let you off easy but have also prepared a sum of money for you. See

how kind of a master | am to you!" After that, Yuliana took out a thick stack of money from her bag and threw it

on Ruth's bed. "Take the money."

Ruth didn't even look at it.

She said, "No, I'm still young. | can manage after once I've left the Quartley Palace. | don't need your money."

Yuliana snorted.

She didn't want to give it to her but she had made a deal with Ruth and she was going to keep her side of the

deal. Since Ruth didn't want it, then she'd take it back.

Yuliana said, "Ruth, you should know you've just refused my kindness, so don't say | never looked out for you."

Ruth ignored her.

She then said, "Madam Yuliana, please take good care of Mr. Zorion once I've gone. He is very sincere towards

you. Although he is mentally challenged, he is very sincere and loyal to you."

She knew that it wasn't her place to say these things to Yuliana.

But she couldn't help herself.

Because she wasn't disappointed with being kicked out from the Quartley Palace.

She was only concerned about Zorion.

Yuliana's face fell the moment she heard Ruth say this. She replied, "Ruth, how Zorion and I live our lives is none

of your business. Especially after what you've done to us! You think you know him better thanafter you've

slept with him? You even dare to lectureabout this?"

Ruth didn't respond. She simply lowered her head and walked out of her bedroom.

When she reached the corridor, she bumped into someone.

It was Zorion.

He was standing on the stairs as he stared at Ruth.

Ruth felt as though someone had stabbed her heart with a knife the moment she saw him.

She silently opened her mouth.

She wanted to say something to him, but didn't know how to say it. She also felt that it wasn't her place to say

any of it in the first place.

Ruth lowered her head and walked down the stairs heavily.

As she walked past Zorion, he suddenly called her name, "Ruth."

Just then the thick tension in the air exploded completely.

Ruth couldn't move her legs anymore.

She knew that she should just ignore him and walk out. But her legs weren't listening to her right now. No matter

how much she tried, she

wasn't able to move away from him.

en

Zorion looked very conflicted.

IMS

He looked like he had so many things to say to her, but was also holding back from saying them.

After stopping her, Zorion struggled to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Ruth, they told me

that you were leaving, is this true?"

Ruth hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly.

Zorion knew the answer the moment he saw her backpack.

Ruth nodded and replied softly, "Yes, Mr. Zorion."

Zorion bit his lip in disbelief and said while sulking, "They also toldthat you are a bad person, that's why they

are driving you away. Ruth, did they lie to me?" Ruth held her breath.

She was already leaving. Were there still people slandering her?

Ruth smiled wryly.

Forget it. It didn't matter anymore.

It had already cthis far. What did it matter if people still slandered her?

It wasn't important to her anymore.

"But | don't believe that Ruth is a bad person!" Zorion spoke up again, "Ruth, tell me. Who was it that said you

are abad person? I'll find them. I'll tell them not to drive you away. | will tell them that you're not a bad person

and that they can't drive you away."

Ruth smiled bitterly.

She had to leave.

Staying here wouldn't be good for anyone.

Ruth responded, "Mr. Zorion, they are right. | am a bad person, so | have to leave."

Zorion was stunned.

Ruth whispered, "Mr. Zorion, I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself from now on."

She then gritted her teeth and forced herself down the stairs.

When Ruth was almost out of view, Zorion suddenly shouted out her name, "Ruth!"

There was no response.

Zorion was about to chase after her, but Yuliana stopped him.

Yuliana said to him, "Zorion, what are you doing?"

Zorion pointed down the stairs and said, "Honey, I'm going to get Ruth. She's leaving. She's actually leaving."

Yuliana grabbed his hand. She sounded quite unhappy. "She's already gone. Why are you going after her?! Just

let her go!"

"But my wife, I... I..." Zorion stuttered, he couldn't say anything.

Yuliana then said, "Besides, didn't

they already tell you? Ruth got kicked out because she did something very bad. Zorion, are you a good man?"

Zorion nodded right away, Without hesitating, he said, "I'm a good man, of course. I'm a good man." "That's

right!" Yuliana raised her voice. "You are such a good man. So why are you chasing after Ruth, that bad person?!"

Zorion fell silent.

His wife was right.

But...

He didn't know why, but he felt very uncomfortable with the fact that Ruth was leaving for good.

After waiting for stime, Zorion finally said, "But my dear wife, I'm certain that Ruth isn't a bad person."

Yuliana sneered.

Zorion really had fallen for Ruth, that b*tch. Luckily she had reacted quickly and driven Ruth out of the Quartley

Palace. Otherwise, she would be in trouble!
