The CEO Wants To Divorce Me
Chapter 52

And downstairs,Arabella is talking to the housekeeper.

"Madam,today is your birthday,I have prepared a birthday cake for you,when you come back later,we will help you celebrate your birthday, okay?"

Arabella froze for a moment,then smiled bitterly, "No butler,thank you, I'm probably not in the mood to celebrate my birthday today."

In previous years,she received birthday gifts and birthday wishes from her father and mother. But this year is different.......

"Don't worry ma'am, I believe Mr.Ruth is innocent and he will definitely be acquitted today."

"I hope so,butler,thank you."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ezra frowned.

He didn't expect that today is actually Arabella's birthday......

Beth also overheard the conversation between the two and became upset,whispering in Ezra's ear,"Ezra, how can the butler behave like this?How can he say such things when he gets paid by you!How dare he say that Aden is innocent when so much evidence points to him!Even if he is my adopted father,I am on the side of justice......."

Ezra's frown tightened, Beth thought Ezra was listening to her own words, her heart suddenly became a snicker.She has long seen this old housekeeper disagreeable,take advantage of the opportunity to let Ezra replace him!

"Ezra,don't be angry,it's just a servant!Big deal, we'll replace him when we get back,what do you think?"

Ezra didn't say anything, but Arabella looked up and saw them at that moment,and her face turned ugly:"Beth,what are you doing down here?You're not telling me that you're going too,are you?"

"Sister, Mr.Ruth is my father too.I'm worried about him and want to hear about the trial,is that not okay?"

"Beth,stop acting in front of me,if it wasn't for you,our Ruth Family wouldn't be in this situation today!I forbid you to go,and I don't want my father to see this ugly face of yours,so get your a*s back upstairs right now!" Beth sniffled,aggrieved and on the verge of tears,"Sister, how can you say that about me?Besides, Ezra has promised to take me......"

With that,she leaned towards Ezra again, her moist eyes looking pitiful.

"Arabella,who do you think you are?I told you,you're not in charge of this house!Beth, let's go!"Ezra took Brth's hand and walked right around Arabella, heading for the door.

As he passed Arabella, Beth shot her a smug look, like a winner.

Arabella's heart could not be helped even if she was angry,she gritted her teeth and followed reluctantly.

Ezra and Beth had already taken the back seat, leaving only the passenger seat,and Arabella pulled open the door and got in.through the rearview mirror,she saw Beth snuggled up in Ezra's arms with a happy smile on her lips. These two,instead of going to court, look like they are going to some kind of party.

This is ridiculous!

Ezra instructed the driver to drive,and all the way there, Beth snuggled into Ezra's arms and whispered something in his ear,causing Ezra to burst into low laughter and herself to giggle.

The two men's laughter was like a pin in Arabella's heart.

She's not jealous,she's hateful.

Beth says she's worried about her father, but ends up flirting with Ezra in the car?Is that what she does when she's worried about her father?

Doesn't Ezra claim to be very smart? Can't you see what kind of person Beth is?

Perhaps,it's not that he can't see that he might just like this kind of woman?

Arabella was thus tortured all the way to the courthouse, and when she was almost there, her cell phone suddenly rang,and she took it out to find that it was her father calling.

Looking at the name bouncing on the phone,Arabella froze,how was her father able to get the phone to contact her?

But she didn't have time to think about it before she pressed the answer button,desperate to hear her father's voice and know his current condition!

"Arabella,my dear daughter,I'm very sorry I couldn't see you one last time, but that doesn't mean I don't love you......"Aden's voice sounded very tired and full of resignation at the same time.

"Father,what are you talking about, what last side?I'll be at the court soon,you have to trust me, I'll help you out of this mess!"Arabella was shocked by Aden's words and yelled loudly holding the phone. Hearing Arabella's words, Ezra and Beth froze at the same time.

Aden?I can't believe she still calls.......

"Arabella,there is no chance,you must take care of your mother in the future during my absence,you must be able to start a whole new life without me,and remember that I love you,tell your mother that I love her too!"Aden's voice was full of despair and guilt,as if he was saying his final goodbyes.

"Father,what on earth are you doing?Wait for me, I'll be there soon,make sure you wait for me!"Arabella's heart suddenly became flustered,with a vague sense of bad feeling.

"If I jump from here,it's over and no one will ever threaten you with me again!My dear daughter Arabella, leave Ezra and go pursue your happiness!"Aden's voice grew more and more excited,and he even laughed loudly.

"No,daddy!"Arabella's eyes suddenly became red and she shouted in a hurry,"Daddy,don't do anything stupid,I was able to save you from it,you have to believe me....... Daddy?Hello?"

But Arabella didn't get a response from Aden,who had hung up on the other side.

Looking at the screen of the phone staying on the hang-up screen, Arabella only felt her heart beating wildly,what did her father's last words mean, was he going to jump off the building?

Arabella was so emotional she almost broke the phone,she looked anxiously out the car window,it was so close to the courthouse,she needed to go faster,faster!

She grabbed the arm of the driver beside her and begged," Please drive faster!"

"Sister,what's wrong?Is something wrong with Father?"Beth asked in a small voice.

Although she hid it well,Arabella could hear a hint of unusual excitement in her voice.

Arabella turned her head and glared at Beth with red eyes,"Shut up, he doesn't even deserve to be called his father!"

Beth was reprimanded by Arabella and immediately got red eyes, looking at Ezra pitifully.

Ezra frowned and reached for Beth's shoulder, his gaze straightening to Arabella,"What's going on?"

"My dad he.....seems to be about to commit suicide!Ezra,I beg you,save my dad,OK?It was my fault before,it's our Ruth family that has wronged you!"Arabella came back to her senses, like grabbing a life-saving rope,grabbed Ezra's arm,crying and begging. At this moment,she can no longer care about self-respect and face,she is full of her father's voice full of fatigue. No, Dad must be joking with her!

Ezra frowned,then turned to the driver and said,"Drive faster."

Aden Ruth was going to kill himself?That's something he didn't anticipate.Was this for real? Or is it just some trick the Ruths are playing?

No matter what, let's go over there and take a look first!

Arabella's eyes looked out of the car window again,and her whole person was anxious to the extreme.Her hands were clasped together tightly and she kept praying.

It will be fine!

Beth watched this scene,the corners of his mouth could not help but reveal a grim smile.

Aden Ruth is going to kill himself?That's great news.

Die,you better hurry up and die!Once he's dead, Arabella will no longer have anything to fall back on,she'll never be the high and mighty Miss Ruth again!

......

Seeing that the car will see the entrance to the court,the road was suddenly blocked by a group of people,the crowd is very noisy,there are reporters with cameras are shooting.

The driver said strangely," Mr.James,something seems to have happened up ahead,the road is blocked and we can't drive through."

This sentence made Arabella's heart in her throat,she could not wait,directly opened the car door and rushed down.

"Arabella,come back!"Ezra tried to stop her,however. she only left him with an eager back.

"What's going on?"Arabella wanted to see what was going on, but the crowd of onlookers was too large for her to squeeze in.

"Make way,please!"She shouted, squeezing forward with all her might.

Finally,she arrived at the front of the crowd. However,when she saw the puddle of red blood on the floor,her whole body froze and her body trembled violently.

"Miss,please don't go forward,there has just been a murder here."A policeman stopped Arabella and said politely.

"A murder......"Arabella covered her mouth in disbelief as she desperately tried to tell herself that it couldn't be,it wasn't what she thought......

"Arabella!"At that moment, Ezra suddenly squeezed in with Beth,and he took Arabella's hand, ready to lead her away.

Just now Tony sent him a message that Aden Ruth jumped to her death and was taken to the hospital for resuscitation.

For some reason, Ezra's first reaction to seeing this news was not happiness, but a desire to take Arabella and leave at the first opportunity.

He subconsciously felt that if Arabella learned the news,she would definitely not be able to bear it.......

"Ezra,where is my father? Please tell me,where is he?"Arabella asked with tear-filled eyes as she grabbed the corner of Ezra's shirt.

"Arabella......"Ezra was about to speak, but several reporters suddenly squeezed in front of the two with cameras on their shoulders.

"Mr.James,Mrs.James, how are you?"a male reporter recognized Ezra.A male reporter recognized Ezra and asked, holding up a microphone," Mrs.James,what do you think about your father's suicide?"

"You,what did you say?"Arabella froze, as if a bomb had exploded in her head,the noisy sounds around her all disappeared,she could not hear anything.

"Miss Arabella,is it tantamount to acquiescing to your father's crime that he jumped off the floor of the courtroom without a trial?"

Arabella's mind buzzed as she looked at the reporters, a blur in front of her eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about, how could my father commit suicide? It's impossible,it's not possible!"

Those reporters looked at each other and then asked in surprise,"What,you don't know yet?Mrs. James,your father jumped down from the upper floor of the courthouse a few minutes ago and fell on the steps,and has been pulled away by the ambulance, and should be in the hospital now."
