Chapter 409 One Trouble Before Another
Levi never thought that things would take such a turn for the worse.
“Who exactly is behind this to help the Williamson’s? At this juncture, everyone is backing away from it, no one would be foolish.”
Ruby had no idea, but only said, “I’ve asked Josie to continue to investigate, let’s wait for the results.”
She paused and was about to say something, but Layton came knocking on the door.
“Raphael has woken up, Ruby, come and see.”
At these words, Ruby could only put her thoughts away for the time being and turned around to go to the next room.
Raphael was leaning against the bed at this moment, drinking his medicine, when he heard the movement, he looked up and revealed a weak but gentle smile.
“Ruby, you’re here, thank you, it’s been hard work for you.”
Ruby shook her head, looked at his still pale face and reached out to check his pulse.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
A moment later, she withdrew her hand and said in a light voice, “The residual poison has been cleared, so you need to drink more medicine to consolidate it.”
Raphael nodded, “Okay.”
Ruby was silent and took the initiative to ask, “What are you going to do?”
Although she didn’t ask for specifics, Raphael instantly understood it.
His eyes were half-lidded, hiding the emotions beneath them, and the curve of his mouth narrowed as he did not immediately reply.
In the bedroom, silence spread around.
After a few moments, his voice, slightly hoarse from having been asleep for so long, rang out.
“No idea, Layton has already told me about the whole story, I know you are fighting for me, thank you very much.”
Ruby pursed her lips, “It’s not all for you, he went to such great lengths to get my grandfather’s relics, and I won’t swallow this anger easily.”
“Well, I understand.”
Raphael nodded, his pale face almost visible as red blood beneath the skin.
“I’ve been in the Williamson family for years carefully, afraid that if I make a mistake, I’ll cause trouble for myself and the Williamson family, but even so, he still didn’t treat me as a member of the Williamson family, and poisoned me, something I never expected, but it’s something he would do. He is a man with a lust for profit, for money, he can do anything, kinship to him is just a bargaining chip, when it is useless, it is a discard, family in his eyes is just as worthless as rubbish.”
His dry lips looked paler as he said so much.
Ruby could only say: “Your body is still not well, you will stay here to recuperate these days, don’t worry, there are people from Levi and I guarding this place, no one can break in, as long as you want, you can stay here forever. When you want to go back to the Williamson’s, you can leave anytime.”
Raphael reluctantly pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, “Okay, thank you, Ruby.”
After talking for a while, tiredness returned and he drank some more porridge and drifted off to sleep again.
Ruby exited from the room and stood in the corridor, silent.
Seeing this, Levi raised his hand and rubbed her hair.
“Don’t think too much, Josie is checking it out, as for Raphael, let him make his own choices about the Williamson family, you’ve done a good job.”
Rubys eyes were half-lidded as she nodded gently.
Just at that moment, Levi’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
“It’s Jared.” He glanced at the caller ID and picked up straight away.
“What is it?” He asked.
Soon, Jared’s slightly anxious voice came out of the receiver, “Levi, are you still in the capital? Hurry back.”
Upon hearing that, Levi’s brows furrowed and his pupils darkened deeply, “What happened?”
“The Finn Group has suddenly made a big move, it looks like it wants to divide the shares in your hands and wants to take this opportunity to remove you from it!”
The moment these words came out, Levi’s eyes instantly darkened.
On the other end of the line, Jared’s voice wouldn’t stop.
“I’m not sure about the specific situation, but from what I’ve heard, the Finn family is trying to use some trumped up name to nibble away at your shares in the Finn Group and also remove you from your position, but again, I don’t think that it’s that simple, they seem to have other purpose …… ”
After a few moments, Levi said in a cold voice, “I know.”
When Ruby saw him hang up the phone with a cold face, she realized that the situation was not right and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
The corners of Levi’s thin lips were pursed straight as he put Jared’s words succinctly.
After hearing this, some disgust surfaced in Ruby’s eyes.
“How come the Finn family is also like a fly in the ointment, doing things like nibbling away at your shares? It is the number one family in Sea City.”
Levi laughed coldly: “There is nothing they can’t do, it’s just nibbling away at the shares, it’s all just a small thing.”
He had grown up in this deep water since he was a child, and was already well acquainted with all the internal strife and filth of the Finn family, and was not surprised by it at all.
“So what are you going to do? Are you going back?” Ruby asked him.
Levi’s face was indifferent: “In fact, I don’t care about the shares at all, but I got it myself, and I can’t just let them have it for no reason.”
Ruby agreed: “Yes, you’d better go back and deal with it then.”
Levi nodded: “And I’m not just going back this time for the shares, I always feel that the Finn family has another purpose for suddenly doing this.”
“Another purpose?”
Levi’s eyes narrowed slightly, a fine aura flashed under his eyes, “Don’t you think things are too coincidental?”
Ruby was carried along by his thoughts, “Indeed, it feels like a lot of things have been happening together recently.”
“That’s right, whether we’re being paranoid or not, it’s better for me to go back and deal with it, in case there’s some kind of conspiracy, it can be stopped in time.”
Since Levi had decided so, Ruby did not say any more.
“Okay, I still have to stay here, Raphael……”
Levi: “I understand, Raphael’s body is still not well, you should stay and look after him, I’ll take care of things in Sea City.”
Ruby took the initiative to propose, “Let Evans bring Olivia over.”
Not wanting her to talk about this, Levi was surprised: “Why?”
“I’m pretty much done with things on my side, and there’s nothing to follow up on, so I’ll leave the investigation to Josie, and as for Wyon, he’s going to be too busy rejuvenating himself in the meantime, so he shouldn’t have time for any intrigue, and besides, it’s time for Olivia to see my grandmother and grandfather.”
