Chapter 223 Going to the Door for Help
This was the image Reggie saw when he entered the door.
The two of them, Kevin and Olivia, were sprawled out on the sofa, seriously watching Ruby and Levi
play a game.
He froze for a moment at first, the first time he had seen Levi so relaxed and casual.
He stood by the side for a while, waiting for the two to finish their round before he walked over, a polite
smile still on his face, "Miss Harold, Colonel Finn."
Levi gave him a faintly oblique glance at his words, the corners of his lips curling up in a smile that
seemed to be absent.
Reggie felt his heart thump, with a creepy feeling.
He glanced at Levi in disbelief, and did not understand what he had done to offend this bigwig.
But now was not the time to talk about this, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart before looking at
Ruby: "Miss Harold, I have come to look for you this time because I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?" Ruby put the phone aside before she raised her eyebrows and looked at Reggie.
"It's like this, an old friend of mine has run into a bit of trouble and wants to ask you for a favor." Reggie
smiled curtly as he looked at Ruby.
"What kind of trouble?" Ruby frowned, looking at Reggie with that look, vaguely guessing something.
"It's a bit like what happened to me last time, but his is a bit more serious than mine." Reggie coughed
before lowering his voice and saying.
"I have no time." Ruby refused without even thinking about it.
Reggie didn't expect her to refuse so abruptly.
As he was about to speak, Cara had come over and gave a glance at Reggie without good grace. She
remembered that this was the man who came to her door that day and took Ruby away with him.
"Dinner's ready, why are you still playing? Kevin, your sister still has business to do, what are you doing
bringing her to play games?" Cara shouted and glared at Kevin again.
Kevin looked at Cara with an innocent face, aggrieved, "Grandma, am I your real grandson?"
"You were not born by me." Cara replied without hesitation.
"Hurry up and cut the crap." Seeing that several people hadn't moved, Cara urged again.
After she finished speaking and turned around to see Reggie still standing there, she immediately
scolded in a bad mood, "What are you still doing here? I didn't cook your meal, besides, Ruby said just
now that she doesn’t have time to help you, you can go now. Why come here at dinner time?"
The old lady finished speaking and walked straight to the dining room.
Reggie looked at Ruby in pity.
Ruby also ignored him and got up to wash her hands and eat.
Reggie stood there, embarrassed, Kevin gave him a sympathetic look and went over to eat with Olivia.
"Don't always bother her, and don't spread the word about her." Levi stuffed his phone into his pocket,
his indifferent gaze fell on Reggie, dropped a sentence and left straight away.
Reggie wanted to cry, he had already boasted to others, but now he really did not know what to do.
Looking at Ruby and the others sitting there eating, he could only sigh helplessly and silently sat down
on the sofa, waiting for Ruby to finish eating.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Having eaten enough, once Cara came over and saw Reggie, her eyes
glared and she scolded with an unhappy face.
Reggie smiled shyly at the old lady, "Old lady, I'm here for Miss Harold."
"Didn't you hear that she wasn't available? You took her back and locked her up for days! How can you
be so thick-skinned and still have the nerve to come to my family for help? Why don't you go to
heaven? Ruby had been there for a few days and she came back skinny!" Cara scolded with a stern
face and an unhappy expression.
Reggie wanted to cry and looked pitifully at Ruby who came up behind her.
"Go back, I can't help him with his affairs, go back and tell him that he always has to pay for the sins he
has done." Ruby glanced at Reggie indifferently, and after saying that, she went straight back to her
room.
Reggie's scalp suddenly tingled and he looked at Ruby in shock.
He hadn't even said what the man's name was, so how did Ruby know?
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Levi with a pang of fear.
Levi did not even give him a look.
"Daddy, I want to hear a story, can you tell me a story to put me to sleep?" Olivia asked crisply as she
took Levi's hand and looked up at him.
Levi looked down at the little girl in front of him, her little face, which was cool like Ruby's, had a hint of
pleading on it, Levi really had no way to refuse her request, so he nodded and took her back to her
room.
"You're still not leaving?" Cara glared at Reggie.
Reggie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and didn't dare to say much, so he left Ruby's house
with his head bowed.
Only after leaving Shangcheng International did he shiver and take out his mobile phone, making a call,
"She has refused."
"What?" An incomparably old, hoarse voice on the other end rang out faintly, seemingly surprised by
Reggie's answer.
"Miss Harold, she refused me, she said she wouldn't help you." Reggie could only repeat once again
with a bitter face.
"What else did she say?" The old man was silent for a long time before he slowly opened his mouth to
ask.
"She said that you always have to pay for the sins you have done." Cold sweat broke out again on
Reggie's forehead, and he replied warily.
"Understood." Hearing Reggie's reply, the old man hung up the phone straight away.
On the cloudy mountain, the old man was as withered as a hag, looking down at the phone in his hand,
before slowly exhaling a breath of foul air: "It seems that it's all fate. She was right, one always pays for
the sins one makes. Haha ......"
Levi had put Olivia into sleep before returning to the room.
Ruby was sitting under the window looking at the computer, when she heard footsteps, she didn't even
turn her head back, just asked indifferently, "Olivia is asleep?"
"Yeah." Levi answered and thought for a moment before asking Ruby, "Do you know who Reggie is
looking for you to save?"
"The gods can't even save him, there is nothing I can do." Ruby did not speak again.
Levi thought for a moment, originally wanting to ask who the other party was, but looking at Ruby's
expression, he didn't ask in the end.
Three days later, Reggie came to Ruby's home again in a panic and knelt down directly to Ruby: "Miss
Harold, please, please save Mr. Marsh."
Ruby looked at Reggie who was kneeling in front of her, the hand holding the cup of tea gave a slight
pause, her finger tapped twice on the rim of the cup before she shook her head, "I can't."
"Miss Harold ......," Reggie looked like he was about to cry out. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Go away, there's nothing I can do." Ruby put the cup down.
"Miss Harold, he may be at fault, but he had given too much for the country, he didn't deserve to end up
like this, even if you don't save him, can you save his descendants for the sake of the country he
dedicated his life to?"
