"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."
