Chapter 395
Daisy was in terrible sorrow.
"I can spend more time with them.” Now she couldn't let go of the company, so she could only take as much time as possible. She looked down at the quiet Ramona in her arms and touched her face. Mr. Jones also knew that they had to do it step by step. Even if all of them agreed on it, they weren't sure about Jacob's thoughts.
After all, Bridget was a divorcee. As he worked for Xavier, he knew what was going on.
"So, from now on, you try your best to let Jacob send you off home." Mr. Jones wanted Jacob and Bridget to know each other more. "It would be best if they can have a crush on each other. If they can't, I'll forget it. *
Let nature take its course.
Since Mr. Jones said so, it was hard for Daisy and Arya to deny him.
Besides, he did this for this family.
Mr. Jones was in a bad mood. Arya held Ramona out and Daisy stayed inside to accompany him. Bridget was sitting in the living room drinking water.
Arya walked towards her. "Jacob left?"
"Ah?" Bridget reacted and said, "Yes, he left."
"Edward left too?" Arya asked tentatively.
Bridget clenched her teacup with both hands and lowered her eyes. "He's left. He's married and his family's abroad too. I think he'll live there.”
Arya understood that she and Edward had really broken up.
After all, Edward was married, and it was not good for both of them to pester him, and it might involve the innocent.
Arya didn't know how to comfort her and held her shoulder. "Don't think too much. Go to bed early.”
Then Arya picked up Ramona and walked towards the room.
"Aryna."
Bridget stopped her.
Arya turned around. "What's the matter?"
She bit back the words at the tip of her tongue and shook her head. "Nothing."
Arya glanced at her and immediately took Ramona back to the room
After a quiet day, Arya received a message from Liam.
He invited her to a meeting.
Arya's first reaction was that Bella had convinced him?
This time, Arya took two “bodyguards’ as well as Jacob to see Liam.
The meeting place was decided by Liam, a high-end western restaurant in the city center.
"He's really good at enjoying life." Jacob turned up the corners of his lips. "I wonder he might fall in the danger one day.”
Arya looked out the car window. "Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest?" The city was full of people, but the more chaotic it was, the easier it was for him to hide.
Jacob's expression became a little serious. "A person like this is a curse to live."
Arya looked at him calmly.
At this time, the car had already arrived. Jacob stopped the car, and Arya pushed open the door and came down.
Jacob walked closer and asked in a low voice, "Shall I leave the two outside? Will it arouse Liam's suspicion if all of us went in?"
Arya looked at him. "Do you think he won't know how many of us were here? If the two stayed outside, he would feel that there's something fishy inside. We shall take them."
Jacob thought her words made sense, so he agreed.
Arya and Jacob walked in front, followed by two “bodyguards’.
As soon as they entered, a waiter came to ask. "Do you have an appointment?”
Jacob replied, "Yes. We're here to see Mr. Loong."
The waiter understood instantly and led the way. "Please follow me."
The waiter led them through the hall to the private room area. There were bodyguards standing at the door of a private room on the right side of the corridor. The waiter was not walking in and pointed to that room. "The one with people standing at the door."
Arya nodded slightly and walked towards the private room.
When she got to the door, the bodyguards stopped her. "Mr. Loong said you were allowed in alone."
"I'm her bodyguard..."
"No." Before Jacob could finish his sentence, he was rejected by the two burly bodyguards
Arya gave him a reassuring look.
"Open the door. They won't go in." Arya said calmly.
Only then did the bodyguard push the door open.
In the private room, two bodyguards were standing behind Liam and Bella sitting at the table. Arya blinked her eyelashes slightly. He didn't allow her to bring people, but he brought a lot.
"Mrs. Jones, sit down." Liam leaned back in his chair.
It seemed that he thought it was just fine.
Arya sat down calmly. The table was already full of delicious food, but it seemed that the people at the table did not have an appetite, but cared more about other things.
Arya spoke first. "What's your decision?"
Liam didn't say anything. Instead, it was Bella who spoke for him. She looked at Arya. "Tell me what you want first."
"Rufus," Arya answered without hesitation
It seemed a little urgent.
Bella smiled and fiddled with the glass on the table. "It seems that Mrs. Jones really hates Rufus and is willing to trade with the WS Group.”
"Of course, he hurt my husband.” Arya's eyes were a little dark. "Are you not going to deal with me?"
"You misunderstood us." Bella poured the wine for Arya. When she put down the bottle, she glanced at Liam. "We agreed, but we must have our people work in the WS Group.”
Liam didn't like to do things beyond his control. The WS Group was too big, and he wouldn't be at ease unless he had his people inside.
Arya barely hesitated. "Sure."
"Good." Liam finally said, "You're straightforward, so am I."
He raised his hand and the bodyguard next to him stepped forward.
"Go and bring him over."
The bodyguard nodded and walked out of the private room. Not long after, he came in with Rufus, who was tied up.
His mouth was sealed and the bodyguard threw him to the ground.
"He's not honest. He was talking nonsense, something like I planned what happened to Mr. Jones. Do you believe him?" Liam lit a cigar and puffed at it.
Arya's hands clenched under the table. Wasn't he the one who planned it?
She glanced at Rufus, who was writhing on the ground and trying to speak, and her tone became a little cold. "All the evidence I found points to him. He's the murderer. He just wants to bite. Of course, I won't believe his nonsense.”
"You're smart. I like to talk to the smart.” Liam let out a long laugh.
Arya stood up from her chair and looked down at Rufus. "You're finally in my hands."
"Mmm... Mmm..."
Arya sneered. "What do you want to say? Do you think I will believe you? I only believe my own eyes. Rufus, blood for blood!"
Arya turned to look at Liam. "Can I take him away?"
"Sure." Liam waved and the two bodyguards stepped forward.
"Help Mrs. Jones to take him back. They will work in the WS Group from now on. Are you okay with that?"
Arya glanced at the two of them. The last time she saw Liam, they were also around him. He was really worried about her, so he asked his trusted followers to go to the WS Group.
"Mr. Loong, you don't trust me?" Arya pretended to be unhappy.
