Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 397 Three Poisons

"Look how ridiculous you've become over the years! There's news of your histrionics everywhere,

you've reached middle age and you're still so not behaved! You've disgraced the Williamson family!"

In the face of Max's accusations and scolding, Wyon did not show the slightest hint of shame or

remorse.

He sat idly, taking out a cigar with one hand, and without lighting it, he put it in his hand and played with

it, a careless smile on his face.

"Dad, why are you angry? I'm just thinking of the Williamson family. Look at the Grant family. What

happened now? There were few descendants, and none of them were very successful, so in the end

they all disappeared into obscurity. Who can remember the glory of the Grant family when they talk

about it now?"

With that, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"But Ruby, his granddaughter, is unexpected good in every aspect and can even control W Group. It's a

pity that even she can't restore the Grant family to its former glory and prosperity. So what if it is an

illegitimate child? Look at your grandchildren, which one of them is not a promising one?"

"You-" not wanting him to say this, Max was so angry that his head was spinning, "Is this something

you should say as a father!"

He slapped the arm of the sofa angrily and gritted his teeth, "I don't care about that, but if something

happens to Raphael, not to mention his mother, even I won't spare you easily!"

Wyon shrugged indifferently, "Do as you please." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Having said that, he got up and left, heading straight for the office.

"How's the LL Town project going?" He went into his office and called his assistant to ask.

The assistant was briefly silent and answered honestly, "Everything is going well so far, but ......"

"But what?" Wyon raised his eyes, narrowing slightly.

The assistant's scalp tightened at the look and he immediately said, "UNIVERSE has just announced

that it has started a permanent cooperation with W Group."

At these words, Wyon's brow immediately furrowed and his face looked uncomfortable.

The project, LL Town, was a joint development between the Williamson's and the UNIVERSE.

Now the UNIVERSE suddenly cooperated with the W Group, was there something fishy in this?

What the assistant could think of, Wyon could naturally think of as well.

His face was stern and he ordered after a moment of thinking, "Keep an eye on W Group and

UNIVERSE, and inform me immediately if there is any unusual movement."

The assistant responded: "Yes."

"What about Ruby?" Wyon asked again.

The assistant immediately reported, "She went back to Jin Yuan with Mr. Raphael, she hasn't come out

again."

At these words, Wyon sneered, "She wouldn't think that by relying on herself, she could save Raphael's

life, would she? One can be confident, but one must never be conceited, or else will always pay the

price for one's conceit."

The sudden cooperation between the W Group and the UNIVERSE was, he was sure, at the behest of

Ruby.

But so what?

Even if the W Group was strong, its roots in the country were not stable, and the entire capital was still

under the control of the Williamson family.

It was simply a fool's errand for her to try to shake up Williamson’s position with W Group.

Therefore, even though he knew that this was Ruby's intention, he did not take it to heart.

But at this point, he had no idea who the conceited man really was and what a terrible price he would

have to pay for his conceit!

......

In a flash, two days had passed.

During this period, Layton got the news and hurried over.

"How is it? Has Raphael gotten better? Can the poison in his body be cleared or not?" It was hard for

him to endure the fact that his long-time friend was now suffering from all this.

Ruby drew a tissue and wiped the sweat from the corner of her forehead, then sat down on the sofa,

leaning her head back in the backrest of the sofa as if she was very tired.

Seeing this, Layton was both anxious and afraid of pushing Ruby too hard, so he could only sit down.

Only after a few moments had passed did Ruby let out a long breath.

"It's not life-threatening for now, I've been giving him needles every three hours for the past two days

and feeding him medicine, and the toxicity has diminished a lot."

As soon as Layton heard this, his eyes lit up with hope, "So that means there is salvation?"

However, Ruby said in a cold voice with a sullen face, "Not necessarily, the toxicity in his body is really

too strong, and Wyon should have poisoned Raphael the night before he came to me, the toxicity has

already eaten into his internal organs, it is impossible to be unharmed. What I can do now is to weaken

the toxicity as much as possible, protect his internal organs and inhibit the poison from spreading in his

body, however, whether he can pull through or not will only depend on his own will."

Layton froze, confused: "What does this mean? Is there no cure for the root cause?"

The corners of Ruby's mouth curled up in a cool smile, "According to Wyon, there is, and he will be

willing to give me the antidote as long as I give him the information developed by my grandfather."

"So ......" Layton opened his mouth and stumbled, "So what do you think now?"

Ruby did not answer immediately, and after a moment of contemplation, she suddenly asked him,

"Layton, do you believe in me?"

Layton replied without thinking: "Of course I believe you."

They had been friends for many years and he had unconditional trust in Ruby.

Hearing this answer, Ruby gently breathed a sigh of relief and organized her words before analyzing it

with a calm face.

"According to Raphael's pulse, he was poisoned by not one but three poisons, each of which would

hold each other in check, and the antidotes would also hold each other in check."

Layton felt confused: "What are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is that, Wyon is indeed right when he says that he has the antidote in his hand,

even if he treats Raphael as an outcast, he will not really just completely ignore him, but he is hiding a

very important truth, that is, even if the antidote is given, Raphael will not be able to recover as before,

not only that, Raphael will also become a complete invalid."

As soon as these words were spoken, Layton stood up instantly.

"Invalid? Are you saying that Raphael will be crippled?"

Ruby shook her head, "It doesn't mean that, but he will be dependent on the drug to live from now on,

and this drug, a specific kind of poison, is very weak, but if he uses it for a long time, he will never be

able to be a normal person again."

At this point, Layton understood: "You mean he would be addicted to this drug?"
