Chapter 431 All’s Fair in War
Seeing this scene, Ruby’s face was so sunken.
She stared steadily at Olivia for a full minute, placating her with her eyes, before shifting her gaze and directing her sharp eyes towards Wyon.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“It’s really you, the fox’s tail is finally showing, you’re quite good at this self-directed act.
Her words were full of sarcasm, but Wyon was not amused.
“Miss Harold, all’s fair in war, so what if you know it’s me? What can you do to me? You still have to come over obediently.”
A sneer curled the corners of his mouth and he raised his eyes towards the stairs.
“Tthanks to you, Miss Harold, that I had the chance to get my way.”
Ruby frowned and did not say anything.
“If you were alone, then I really didn’t know what I could do to capture you in my hands, but who would have thought that at this time, you actually received your precious daughter to the capital, wouldn’t it be a loss if I didn’t make use of such a good opportunity? That’s not my style of doing things, so it was you who gave me this opportunity.”
Such shameless words were said by Wyon easily, and Ruby could not help but feel a pang of disgust.
It was true that she had not considered the matter thoroughly before, which was why she had let this man take advantage of it, and for that, she had regretted it.
But right now, it was not the time for regrets; the most important thing was to save Olivia from these people.
After a moment’s thought, she lifted her eyes and looked towards Wyon again, her eyes were bitterly cold, as if a layer of ice was covering them.
“You have gone to great lengths to start with my daughter just to lure me over, now that I’m here, you can release my daughter. Come straight at me, having a little girl under control, don’t you think humiliated?”
Wyon snorted at his words, full of disinterest.
“I did kidnap your daughter to lure you here, but as long as I get the result I want, it doesn’t matter what the means is. Ruby, you are too insolent. How could it possibly reach the ears of others?”
The implication of his words was that he was quite sure that Ruby was about to fall into his hands today.
At the sound of his words, Ruby smiled coldly.
“Wyon, it seems you really hate me to the bone, going to such great lengths to trick me over, what do you want to do? To humiliate me, or is it …… to kill me? Or should I ask you who behind you wants to do?”
Hearing that, Wyon’s face froze slightly for a moment.
Ruby hit the nail.
“What, do you feel humiliated about it?”
Ruby kept an eye on his expression and did not miss the flicker of stiffness on his face, and abruptly smiled, superior instead of looking as if she had been tricked into coming.
“Wyon, of course I know that you hate me to the bone, after all, I made your company almost bankrupt, and sent you to the police station for a few days, you naturally hate me to death, you want to kill me and get rid of me, but at most you can only think about it in your heart, you don’t have that ability at all, you can’t do anything to me.”
These words immediately angered Wyon.
At that moment, his face sank, his eyes fiercely glaring at her like a vicious wolf, the muscles in both cheeks biting up.
“What nonsense are you talking about! Who says I’m not capable and can’t do anything to you? Aren’t you under my control right now! Don’t talk big there!”
Ruby did not panic in the slightest, and said very calmly.
“You’re the one who’s talking big, whether I’m under your control now or the control of the man behind you, you and I know it by heart, so there’s no need to play dumb, is there? When something happened to your company, none of the other three families in the capital dared to lend you a helping hand, let alone other families and businesses, you had no way out but to watch yourself helpless and powerless. You are loser, if it wasn’t for someone bailing you out, do you think you could have walked out of the police station?”
“You-”
“I have an idea of who is protecting you, and I know what that person wants to do. You are a puppet to him, he invests capital to your company just to control it. If you do as you’re told, then everything will be fine, you do everything he asks you to do, and the Williamson family will continue to thrive, but it’s all just an illusory bubble, because you know that once you try to get out of his control, or if you don’t do things right, you won’t be of any use, and he will not hesitate to destroy the Williamson family and destroy you.”
It was a very sensible analysis, and as he listened to it, Wyon had the feeling that he had been stripped clean.
In an instant, anger rose from the bottom of his heart, his face turned red, his eyes widened in anger, and he glared at Ruby as if he wanted to eat her alive, extraordinarily fierce and appalling.
“What do you know! It’s all a bunch of nonsense!”
“Oh, is that so?” The angrier he became, the more Ruby smiled, “Am I just taking nonsense, or do you feel too humiliated to admit it?”
As she spoke, she began to wander from side to side, seemingly aimlessly, but actually approaching the staircase.
“You think you do things without a loophole? So many loopholes, why are you still sophomoric? It’s not a shame to be supported, it’s a shame to be controlled. Wyon, you’re really pathetic, as the chairman of your company, you’ve been in the limelight for half your life, but now you’re being controlled by an outsider. You can’t even fight back, but do as you are told. I really feel sorry for you.”
She had deliberately provoked him, and Wyon’s calmness was all but gone at this point, his emotions getting the better of him and his anger easily aroused.
“Nonsense! I’m not working for him. He wants to use me? No way! I’m the one using him, understand? A brat who hasn’t experienced as much as I have, and he wants to get on top of me? Dream on!”
