Chapter 607: Chapter 607: The Appearance of Linfeng Crown, Gathering Evidence
Hope Williams’s eyes flickered, "Did your brother send you?"
"Yeah, my brother’s worried about you, so he sent me to be your bodyguard."
Hope Williams tugged at her lips, "Does he know I’m going to Y Country?"
Wyatt Lewis paused for a moment, "Sister-in-law, you know nothing gets past my brother."
"Alright, how is he doing now?"
Wyatt Lewis didn’t dare show much expression. At home, Waylon Lewis had specifically instructed him that Hope Williams wasn’t aware of the incident involving their parents, so he couldn’t let it slip.
"He’s fine, really busy, otherwise he would have come himself."
Looking at the stiff expression on Wyatt Lewis’s face, Hope Williams felt as if everyone was hiding something from her.
The two sat back in their seats, and soon the plane broadcast announced takeoff.
...
A few hours later...
Y Country!
Just as they got off the plane, Wyatt Lewis’s words hit home.
"Sister-in-law, you know nothing gets past my brother."
Feeling a bit apprehensive, Hope Williams looked at several missed calls and called back immediately.
Waylon Lewis’s deep voice came through immediately, "You’ve gone to Y Country?"
Hope Williams blinked her eyes, afraid he was angry, and quickly said, "Yes, I plan to settle everything in City A as soon as possible and return to see you early. I have it under control, don’t worry."
Waylon Lewis was silent for a few seconds and finally said helplessly, "Don’t leave their sight... forget it, just wait."
"What? Hello?"
Hope Williams seemed to hear him say to wait, but then the call ended.
When did hanging up become so quick?
"Sister-in-law, what did my brother say?"
Hope Williams turned and glanced at Wyatt Lewis, "He said to wait."
"Uh..."
The brother probably doesn’t trust you and wants to come personally.
That must be it.
Hope Williams didn’t dwell on it anymore. Originally planning to book a restaurant for dinner, she found out that the two young masters had already booked a restaurant and a car, leaving her with nothing to worry about.
At the restaurant, they sat in a window seat. After eating, Hope Williams sat and checked her phone, glancing out to see a figure passing by, and she got up.
"You all finish eating, I have something to do, I’ll be right back." Hope Williams picked up her bag to leave.
"Wait, sister-in-law, where are you going?"
"Just to the coffee shop next door, you don’t need to accompany me." Hope Williams stopped Wyatt Lewis’s impending words and strode out of the restaurant.
Wyatt Lewis had no choice but to let her go.
When Hope Williams entered the coffee shop, the person she was meeting was already waiting for her.
With a calm expression, Hope Williams walked over. Wesley Ruiz looked up at her, his eyes enigmatic and unreadable.
His voice was cold, "Didn’t expect you’d have the guts to arrange to meet me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll put a gun to your head again?"
Hope Williams slightly shook her head, "If you were going to, you wouldn’t have asked that question."
Wesley Ruiz smiled faintly, dressed in a cotton jacket and leaning on a cane. After leaving the organization, there was less hostility in his eyes and more of a weathered look, like an ordinary person.
"You arranged this meeting to get evidence that Ted Williams was the mastermind behind that assassination, right?"
Hope Williams blinked, "Didn’t expect Uncle Ruiz to follow trending news."
"You guys made such a big scene, hard not to know." Wesley Ruiz fumbled in his pocket, took out a voice recorder, and tossed it to Hope Williams, "Take it."
Hope Williams was stunned, "What’s this?"
"What you want is in there." Wesley Ruiz replied expressionlessly.
Hope Williams opened the voice recorder in surprise, and it contained all the conversations between Ted Williams and Wesley Ruiz.
"Why did you record all your chats with him for no reason?"
"Our type of people are always cautious, especially when dealing with someone as deceitful as Ted Williams."
Wesley Ruiz scoffed, "He thinks himself smart, but if I couldn’t see through his little tricks, I wouldn’t have risen to my former position. He plans everything carefully, manipulates others to take risks, and hides in the background. When things go wrong, he just walks away, so hypocritical and ridiculous."
Hope Williams looked at Wesley Ruiz, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She thought she would need to talk it through, but instead, he willingly handed over the evidence.
Hope Williams put away the voice recorder, "Thank you."
"Thank yourself." Wesley Ruiz leaned back and looked at her blandly.
"What?"
"If you hadn’t pleaded for me back then, you wouldn’t have gotten the evidence today. Shouldn’t you thank yourself?"
Hope Williams smiled slightly, "It was Wesley who asked me to plead for you before saving me. I said if I make it out unharmed, I’ll help you."
"You are honest. I thought I was done for, even if Liam Cloud didn’t kill me, Waylon Lewis wouldn’t spare me. I hadn’t expected to survive so well; it’s quite unbelievable."
The dark eyes of Wesley Ruiz gazed at Hope Williams as he curled his lips, continuing,
"I used to really like you, this little girl, smart, clever, and sensible, about the age of Aaron."
Speaking of Aaron Ruiz, a melancholic shadow fell over Wesley Ruiz’s face, filled with regret.
"But the worst mistake was your presence taking away Liam Cloud. The organization couldn’t be leaderless. He followed you to Emperor Capital and was gone for months. Do you think whenever something happens to you, he shows up instantly because he has well-informed sources? It’s just that he is always protecting you from a place you can’t see him, so back then, I thought you were trouble."
Hearing this, Hope Williams frowned deeply. She had always been curious about how Liam Cloud managed to appear so promptly whenever she was in danger.
At the time, she thought Liam Cloud assigned people around her, hence he got wind of things quickly.
Turns out it wasn’t the case. She stood in the light, while he stood in the dark, unseen by her.
A strong sense of guilt washed over Hope Williams.
Wesley Ruiz continued, "Moreover, my daughter died protecting you. Although I knew as Liam Cloud’s subordinate, she might die protecting him one day, which was her mission and duty, but I can’t come to terms with it. Grudges fester and spread. I can’t do nothing for my daughter, even though I know it might not be right."
"I am deeply sorry... Aaron’s death is something I’ll feel guilty about for the rest of my life. I know saying sorry now is empty and powerless, but I..."
Wesley Ruiz raised his hand, a glimmer of tears in his eyes, "No need to say more, Aaron’s life was repaid when you saved me after I aimed a gun at you. Now, all I ask is that once you’re done with your matters, you persuade Liam Cloud to return to Y Country. He only listens to you."
With a melancholic and complex feeling, Hope Williams pressed her lips together, "Yes, I will."
...
At seven in the evening, at the casino.
Getting out of the car, six people tightly watched Hope Williams, afraid she’d make any mistake.
"Sister-in-law, you must be careful. If something happens to you, my brother would sacrifice me." Wyatt Lewis shuddered at the thought.
"Got it, I won’t, I’m not a child." As Hope Williams listened to their repeated warnings, she felt they weren’t even this nervous taking Luke and Willow.
Hope Williams turned to walk inside, but someone caught up behind her, pulling her back by the collar.
"Hey!"
Hope Williams turned to see Liam Cloud looking at her with a serious face.
"Hope, have you forgotten you’re carrying someone in your belly? Disappear for a bit and you’re off to Y Country’s casino, you’ve got some nerve."
