Chapter 377
Finally, there was an expression on Arya's face.
Jacob knew that Arya must have heard it. He then continued, "It's Rufus."
Mr. Gates was locked up in prison and could never come out again. Everything about the Gates Family
was investigated. Rufus fled abroad. "It was my mistake. He faked a scene that he had escaped
overseas, but he's been hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate."
Arya still did not say anything, but her eyes no longer looked dull.
She heard what Jacob said.
"I found the evidence that he went to M City. It's definitely him." No one else could hate Xavier so
much.
Xavier was the one who made the Gates Family destroyed. Rufus risked his life and lurked in the
country, with only one purpose—retaliation.
Seeing Arya did not show any emotion, Jacob frowned secretly and asked, "Don't you care?"
"Don't you want to punish Rufus? He did..."
Jacob choked when he said this. Because Arya suddenly turned her head and was staring at him
fiercely.
"You're sad, and so am I. But now we still have a lot of things to do. Maybe you can be indifferent, but I
can't. I have to send Rufus to prison. No, I want him dead. Even if it's against the law, I don't care."
Jacob became more and more excited.
Arya came down from the balcony and approached Jacob, step by step.
Jacob raised his head and his eyes were red with tears. His face was red because he was too excited.
He was not sure about Arya's attitude, "Madam..."
"Come and pick me up tomorrow." Arya's voice was hoarse and dry, as she had not spoken for a long
time.
Jacob stood up straight, "Yes."
The originally sunny day suddenly began to rain.
The dark clouds rolled over. Arya stood in front of the window. The water lines that fell from the eaves,
waterfalls, water curtains, rain, and fog, all of which made the world a little chaotic, foggy, and gray,
making people feel a little uneasy and worried. Suddenly, lightning flashed frequently, cutting through
the gray sky. Then came the deafening thunder...
Ramona woke up in shock and kept crying.
Arya hugged her and kissed her on the face, "Don't be afraid, mom's here." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"With mommy around, I will protect you, take care of you, and don't let anyone hurt you and Ryan..."
Whether Xavier was alive or dead, she had to protect the family.
Jacob knew Arya very well. It was useless to rely on verbal persuasion alone. At this time, she must
have hatred. With hatred, she had the desire to live.
And the person who killed Xavier was the best point to be harnessed.
In the morning, Arya, who had not left the house for a month, came out in formal clothes. Bridget was
not surprised. She heard what Jacob said yesterday.
Daisy also came down today. Her eyes were swollen. She came over and hugged her. She didn't say
anything as she didn't know what to say. There was nothing to comfort them at this moment.
She had locked herself up for one month, as she wanted to calm herself down, be rational, and think
things through. She looked at Bridget and said to everyone, "Xavier is not dead. He won't die. I haven't
seen his body with my own eyes, so I won't admit it."
All she saw was Xavier's belongings. Maybe he had escaped before the plane hit the mountain or
something else.
No matter what it might be, she believed that Xavier was not dead. So, whether it was a year, ten
years, or a lifetime, she would take their children and wait for him to come back.
"Yes, yes, you're right, we think so too." Daisy's voice was very hoarse.
She cried too much.
"Dad, mom, Bridget, thank you for taking care of Ryan and Ramona for me..."
"We are a family... Let's skip the formalities." Daisy didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it.
Mr. Jones sighed and got up to go to the study.
He was a soldier and never bent over like anyone else in his life. But Xavier's incident destroyed his
mentality.
His straight back bent down at this moment.
Bridget stood aside and sobbed softly.
"I also want to ask mom and Bridget to help me."
"If you need anything, just say it. We are family."
"Ryan and Ramona, I still want to trouble you and mom to take care of them. Someone must take care
of the company."
Mr. Jones was a soldier, and he didn't know much about business. Bridget didn't know much about it
either, as she had been in the army with Mr. Jones before.
Daisy was even more inexperienced with business.
Now that Xavier was not around, Arya was the most suitable person to manage the company.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of Ryan and Ramona."
Daisy said firmly.
At this moment, the door of the house was knocked. Nanny May opened the door. It was Jacob who
came to pick Arya up.
"I'm leaving now." Arya let go of Daisy.
Daisy nodded and said, "Okay, come back early."
Arya agreed and followed Jacob out.
Sitting in the car, Jacob was driving while telling her about the situation in the company, "Everyone in
the company is trustworthy..."
After Terrence's incident last time, the personnel in the company had changed a lot, leaving behind
people who were capable and loyal.
So when the news of Xavier's accident was made public, although it had some impact on the company,
the implications were not massive. The situation in the company was still stable.
Arya leaned against the window and lowered her eyes, listening quietly.
Suddenly, she asked, "Any clues about Rufus?"
All her calmness was superficial.
Jacob shook his head, "No."
After a moment of silence, he then said, "I'm afraid this is not that simple. The Gates Family has fallen
down. How can he manage to do it when I can't even track him. He could even pretend to have
escaped from the country?"
Jacob didn't believe that no one helped Rufus.
He had doubts, but he couldn't tell Arya easily.
It was too dangerous. He had to keep Arya safe. Nothing else mattered.
Arya looked up and stared at Jacob. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak
it out in the end.
If he didn't want to say it, he would not say it out even when she asked him.
After arriving at the company, Arya asked Jacob to arrange a meeting of leaders.
Since Xavier's accident, although the employees of the company were still doing their work, they would
still feel uneasy as no one in the company was managing their work, with no mainstay of the company
This was the first time Arya had appeared in front of everyone since Xavier's accident.
In the huge conference room on the top floor, which could accommodate a hundred people, executives
from all departments of the WS Group were gathering.
Arya was wearing a small black suit with a white shirt inside and a knee-length buttocks skirt, revealing
her calves. She was sitting straight at the top seat.
"I don't need to introduce myself. When Xavier was here, I didn't manage the company. Now that
something happened to him, I have to come out to be in charge. I hope you will offer your support to
me as you did to him."
"This is for sure, but..." The man paused. "But now we want to know more about what happened to Mr.
Jones. Is he really like what police said..."
