Chapter 178 Holmes Mansion
“Holmes Mansion?” Ruby frowned, she didn’t know much about the domestic forces, so she looked at Levi in doubt.
“Thank you.” Levi’s face was grim and he didn’t explain too much to Ruby.
The lift arrived at the ground floor. He reached out and pulled Ruby with him, exiting the lift.
Julia followed them out, but her friend’s phone call came in, and she answered it as she walked out the door.
Levi had already pulled Ruby into the car.
“What exactly is the Holmes Mansion?” Ruby asked Levi with a cold face.
“The Holmes family does not develop in Sea City, their home is in the capital and their main development is placed in the Southeast Asian region, not in the country. In every first-tier city, there is a Holmes Mansion, a place for people from the Holmes family to live. Since Grandma and Olivia were brought to the Holmes Mansion, it means that the Holmes family is behind this matter.” Seeing Ruby’s somber face, Levi knew that she was angry, so he gave an overview of the Holmes family’s situation.
“Is it powerful?” Ruby raised her eyebrows.
“The overlords of Southeast Asia, so to speak.” Levi answered truthfully.
“I got it.” Ruby pulled out her phone, flipped out Dottie’s WeChat, and sent her a message over, “The Holmes family in the capital, I want all their forces overseas, all their companies to go bankrupt, you have one hour.”
After Dottie received the message, she replied with a question mark.
Unfortunately, Ruby didn’t even reply to her.
“Who pissed off Miss Harold? What’s the background of this Holmes family?” Dottie cursed and hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the Holmes family.
It was a shock in the end.
The Holmes family’s power was so intertwined that it was considered a family power at the top of the pyramid in terms of the country.
Originating three hundred years ago, the Holmes family had a deep heritage and had grown to hold a very large fortune today.
About thirty years ago, the Holmes family’s industries began to gradually move overseas, and there were no more industries in the country other than some of the factories and mines.
Overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, the Holmes family was the dominant business player, accounting for 80% of the economy of the region.
“Bobby, hurry up and make arrangements, now start sniping at the Holmes family’s various businesses. Miss Harold has asked us to destroy their overseas businesses within an hour and put them out of business.” Fifteen minutes had passed since Dottie had arrived with the Holmes family’s information.
She ran to the PR department with the information and placed the stuff in front of Bobby.
Bobby took a look at the Holmes family’s information and rolled his eyes, “Has Miss Harold lost her mind? If we want to bankrupt the Holmes family in an hour, we’ll have to pay a great price too.”
“Hurry up, what’s all the nonsense? Is Miss Harold the one who cares about that little money?” Dottie glared at him and scolded in no good mood.
Bobby thought about it. Ruby really didn’t care about those hundreds of billions, so he didn’t say much, distributed one task after another, and instructed the people under his hand to start moving.
Bobby had a large pool of financial talents at his disposal, all of whom have been favoured by Ruby to a greater or lesser extent, so they worked for her with all their hearts.
Although they didn’t understand why Ruby was sniping at the Holmes family, they didn’t find anything wrong at all when Ruby said she would make them go bankrupt within an hour.
The Holmes family did not notice anything at first, but after ten minutes, they finally sensed that something was wrong.
And at this time, Ruby and Levi’s car had arrived at the entrance of the Holmes Mansion.
The gate of the Holmes Mansion was closed and no one came to open the door even though Levi’s car had been parked at the entrance for five minutes.
Ruby had completely lost her patience and spoke coldly, “Ram in!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Levi glanced at her, knowing that the disappearance of Cara and Olivia was tantamount to touching Ruby’s bottom line for her.
At that moment, he did not hesitate, stepping on the accelerator to the bottom, and directly crashed through the large iron gate in front of him, driving into the Holmes Mansion.
Inside the Holmes Mansion, a feminine looking man sat lazily on a sofa in the living room in front of a standing Cara and a pale Olivia.
Both had some injuries, but nothing too serious.
The old lady looked coldly at the man in front of her and opened her mouth to question, “What are you trying to do!?”
“Nothing, I heard that you are Mr. Grant’s widow, so I guess all the things that Mr. Grant left behind are in your hands. As long as you hand over the things, I will send you two back.” The man looked at Cara with a smile, and his tone was quite polite.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Cara’s face sank.
“Don’t you know? If you don’t know, that’s easy, I’m not very patient, if you don’t tell me, then I’ll cut off your great granddaughter’s fingers one by one. If you don’t tell me in one minute, I’ll cut off one finger, and if you don’t tell me in ten minutes, I’ll cut off ten fingers. After the fingers are cut off, there will be toes, and after the toes are cut off, there will be ears and nose, I just don’t know how long she will be able to endure it, old lady, what do you think?” The man’s smile grew bigger and bigger.
Cara’s face snapped at his words and she shielded Olivia behind her, “How dare you?”
“Do it.” The man waved his hand.
Immediately, someone stepped forward and pulled Olivia away from the old lady’s side.
Cara tried to defend Olivia, but she was too old to be a match for the young and powerful bodyguards and was pushed straight to the ground with some injuries.
“Olivia!” Cara was full of anxiety as she looked at Olivia who was being pulled away.
Olivia was miserably white on her face and trembling, but she did not open her mouth to say a word, only looking at Cara with red eyes.
The man who pulled Olivia away pinned her down on the coffee table, picked up a knife and fixed it to her index finger; at the command of the man sitting there, he would not hesitate to cut off Olivia’s finger.
“Don’t you hurt her!” Cara roared in anger as her eyes turned red.
“Old lady, I won’t make things difficult for you, I just want what I want, I don’t really care about your lives. I know that your granddaughter is very capable and may be arriving soon, so, I don’t have much time to waste with you. Give me the stuff and I’ll let you go, that’s a pretty equal deal, isn’t it?” The smile on the man’s face disappeared as he slowly sat up straighter and looked at Cara.
The old lady looked at Olivia, who was over there with a miserable white face, and her heart ached to the core.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the man was thoroughly impatient: “Cut it out! I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut!”
