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 nevere 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 thew, 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 shed 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."


    "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 tofort 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 ne 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 toe 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 thepany."


    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 thepany.


    "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,e back early."


    Arya agreed and followed Jacob out.


    Sitting in the car, Jacob was driving while telling her about the situation in thepany, "Everyone in


    thepany is trustworthy..."


    After Terrence''s incidentst time, the personnel in thepany had changed a lot, leaving behind


    people who were capable and loyal.


    So when the news of Xavier''s ident was made public, although it had some impact on thepany,


    the implications were not massive. The situation in thepany 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 thepany, Arya asked Jacob to arrange a meeting of leaders.


    Since Xavier''s ident, although the employees of thepany were still doing their work, they would


    still feel uneasy as no one in thepany was managing their work, with no mainstay of thepany


    This was the first time Arya had appeared in front of everyone since Xavier''s ident.


    In the huge conference room on the top floor, which could amodate a hundred people, executives


    from all departments of the WS Group were gathering.


    Arya was wearing a small ck 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 thepany. Now that


    something happened to him, I have toe 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..."
