Chapter 83 What Else Can We Do but Wait?
Holly’s loud voice and the sound of her pounding on the door echoed through Ike’s Bluetooth earpiece.
Ike turned around. His face twisted in annoyance as he glared fiercely at Ruth and Holly. Without a hint of politeness, he snarled, “Why are you rushing me? What’s the hurry? Are you trying to rush to your death? Is this how you beg for forgiveness with such a rude attitude? Madam is taking a nap right now, and you want me to disturb her for two insignificant nobodies like you?
“Haha, look at yourselves. Do you think you’re worthy?”
Ike spoke brazenly. He had long harboured a dislike for Ruth and Holly.
When Ruth had free access to Summer Estate, she often pointed her finger at Ike and cursed him. Back then, Ruth had Kate backing her up, so Ike had to endure the abuse silently, not daring to enrage his employer.
Due to Kate’s favour, Holly also looked down on the security guards and acted haughtily around them.
Now, with their status worlds apart and having received special instructions from Kate, Ike had no reason to be polite to them.
Holly rolled her eyes in fury. She wanted to throw a tantrum but lacked the courage.
Ruth’s beautiful face contorted in rage, but she managed to force a few words with a strained. smile. She asked, “Sir, could you please give this bank card to Kate? It has 450 thousand dollars on it–not a penny more, not a penny less.
“I’ll give you the card, and let’s consider this matter settled. How does that sound?”
Ruth made her request humbly, despite her inner turmoil. She wanted to rush over and slap Ike, and she wished she could tear Kate a
apart.
Why should she stand under the scorching sun at the gate while Kate was taking a comfortable nap inside?
Ike’s expression turned even colder. He glared at Ruth and snapped, “What are you trying to pull? Do you think a security guard can make decisions for Madam? Are you trying to get me in trouble? Accepting this card on her behalf? If I dare take this card, I’ll be packing my things tonight.”
He grew more impatient now and said, “Wait if you want to, but nobody is forcing you! If you cause me any more trouble, I’ll have you thrown out!”
With that, Ike turned his back on them, ignoring them completely.
Ruth gritted her teeth and felt utterly humiliated.
Holly’s expression was equally grim. She lowered her voice and asked, “Ruth, what do we do? Do

we just wait here?”
Ruth was livid. She clenched her fists tightly and asked, “What else can we do but wait?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
No trees shaded the guard booth, so they stood in the sun. Ruth had been out there for a long time, and the intense heat was causing her arms to sting painfully.
Kate… I’ll repay this humiliation a hundredfold!
Meanwhile, inside the Summer Estate.
Kate lounged on the sofa, sipping a cold drink and enjoying the air conditioning. She watched the surveillance feed, coldly observing Ruth and Holly baking under the scorching sun.
She also witnessed their argument with Ike.
Kate smirked coldly as she saw them sweat and grow increasingly irritable.
This was nothing compared to the pain she endured in her past life. It wasn’t even a tenth of it!
This was only the beginning.
After leaving Ruth and Holly to bake in the sun for another two hours, when they were on the verge of collapse, Ike finally opened the window impatiently. He said coldly, “Madam is awake. You can come in now.”
By then, Ruth was sitting on the ground in a dishevelled state, with Holly trying to shield her from the blazing sun.
After roasting for over three hours, Ike’s words were like music to their ears.
