Mr. Finn’s Spoiled Wife Plan

Chapter 424 Intending to Return to Sea City



“You want to see your dad so badly? When did you become so attached to your dad?”

At that, the little girl smiled coyly, but her eyes curved into crescents.

“I miss dad and depend on her mum too, mum and dad are my favourite people and I want to be together as a family.”

The little girl’s words suddenly poked Ruby’s heart.

In the Harold family, what she lacked most was a sense of home, and she had never experienced the kind of family love.

Now, she did not want Olivia to go through what she had gone through.

At that moment, she curled her lips and smiled gently, “Okay, we’ll just wait for Uncle Layton, and when he comes back and we’ll go home.”

“Okay.” The little girl nodded with a delicate smile.

Not long after, Layton finally arrived, his face not looking good and a low air pressure hanging around him.

“Well?” Seeing this, Ruby had a bad feeling.

Layton first poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp, as if trying to suppress the fire in his heart.

But when he opened his mouth, he still couldn’t suppress his anger and his brow was furrowed.

“I really thought it too easy! Wyon is not even a normal person, he’s so ruthless! He’s actually put Raphael under house arrest!”

At these words, Ruby froze, “House arrest? What’s going on?”

“When I went there, I didn’t see anyone but Wyon. I said I wanted to see if Raphael had recovered, but Wyon pushed me back, saying that Raphael had recovered and was just resting, so I thought there was something fishy and sent someone to investigate. So I learned that Raphael has been under house arrest, and even his mother was under house arrest too. It was as if he was afraid that she would let Raphael out. He’s just a madman!”

At this, Ruby’s face sank, and a cold intent crossed her clear eyes.

“To be able to poison his own son, he is not a normal person, it makes sense to put him under house arrest, after all, now that Raphael and him are at odds, if he wants to control Raphael, house arrest is the best move to use.”

“But can he keep Raphael under house arrest for the rest of his life?”

Layton gritted his teeth, his face growing sober.

Ruby’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she was relatively much calmer.

After a moment’s thought, she understood the reason for this.

“Don’t worry, not for the rest of his life, Wyon should just put him under house arrest for the time being, and he will be released when things are settled.”

Layton wondered, “What does that mean?”

Ruby sat down opposite him, poured herself a glass of water and took two sips.

“The reason why the Williamson Group has been able to resurrect this time is because of the help of an important person behind them. The purpose of this important person is certainly not simple, to support the Williamson Group, he should intend to make Wyon his lapdog, Raphael can naturally know this. He should have gone back and confronted Wyon, maybe he knows something, maybe he hasn’t found out the truth yet, but in any case, Raphael won’t take the risk, he will definitely hide it from Raphael. If he can’t hide it from Raphael, he will have to shut him up. Raphael is now under house arrest and can’t communicate with the outside world, so no matter if he knows the inside story, he won’t be able to talk to outsiders, and that’s what Wyon is trying to do.”

Hearing these words, Layton’s brows knitted tighter.

“And who exactly is the person behind him? Who exactly is it that is willing to go to great lengths to save a soon-to-be-bankrupt company? And even the other three great families refuse to step in, so why would this person behind him do so?”

Ruby gave a quick reply, “To deal with me.”

At these words, Layton once again froze, but his reaction was quick and he immediately understood.

“Are you saying that person is trying to get at you through the Williamson family?”

“That should be correct,” Ruby nodded, “So far, the Williamson family is at odds with me, and because of me, it fell and almost went bankrupt, so I guess the person behind this wants to use Wyon’s hatred and animosity towards me and use him as a gun against me.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Of course, it was possible that she was overthinking it.

After all, Wyon had made many enemies over the years, and because of this, not only did the three great families refuse to lend a helping hand after he fell on hard times, but even the other major clans that had a solid footing refused to help him.

It was also possible that the person behind this could be the one who wanted to use Wyon to deal with the other three great families, and it was not certain.

In her gut, however, she leaned more towards the first possibility.

After a moment of silence, Layton couldn’t help but worry: “What should we do then? And who is the person behind this, do you have a clue?”

Ruby shook her head, “No.”

If there was one most likely, it was Benjamin.

But Benjamin should not make another move in the short term now that she had injured him in such a way.

As for the others …… since she announced her identity as the president of W Group, she had sort of invariably made a lot of enemies.

But in any case, it was not a good thing for her to stay in the capital any longer.

“The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, the situation is not very favourable for me now, I have to go back to Sea City.”

“You’re leaving?” Layton pursed the corners of his lips, “What about Raphael?”

“Don’t worry,” Ruby cast a reassuring look at him, “it’s me that Wyon should be guarding against, as long as I’m gone, he won’t do anything to Raphael.”

Since that was the case, Layton didn’t keep her, “Then when do you plan to leave? I’ll see you off.”

Ruby shook her head, “No, you go back to the Yup family, you’ve been here all this time, you should go back and rest. Since I am leaving, I should get ready early, I’m planning to leave tonight.”

“Will Olivia go with you? Is it safe?” Layton was uneasy.

“It’ll be fine, with Josie’s men following.”

Upon hearing this, Layton pondered for a moment before nodding, “Alright then, I won’t see you off, be careful on your journey and don’t forget to let me know when you arrive at Sea City.”

Ruby nodded.

……

It turned out that Ruby had thought somewhat simplistically about this matter.

She had completely underestimated Benjamin’s determination and ruthlessness to take revenge.

Benjamin knew that she would not kill him due to her past affection, so he rushed to seize the opportunity to make a pre-emptive strike before his opponent could do so.

In the evening, after booking the flight, Ruby packed her luggage with Olivia.

The little girl was happy to be going home and moved very fast.

Ruby looked amused, but at that moment, suddenly from outside the window came the sound of many car engines!
