Chapter 454 Explanations
Looking at the bright and delicate face before him, he suppressed the fire in his heart, slightly distanced himself from her, and deliberately wore a stern face, feigning displeasure: “Why did you lie to me?”
In fact, he was really upset, very upset.
It was surprising that he had been kept in the dark by her about something so big.
If he hadn’t thought about it today and got suspicious, there was no telling how long he would have been kept in the dark.
His brow furrowed at the thought of all the tension and worry these days.
At this point, Ruby raised her hand and gently covered his brow, “Don’t frown, I’ll explain it all to you, okay?”
It was a rare occasion for her to be so docile, and Levi’s cheeks twitched, but he could not bear to get angry and upset with her, so he let out a low sigh, then took her hand and pulled her over to the sofa and sat down.
“Go ahead, explain, what’s going on?”
He had so many questions about who had taken her in the first place. And who had injected her with the potion? Why did she pretend to lose her memory?
Ruby took a sip of water before facing him, nestled in the sofa, and told the truth one by one.
“When Olivia was kidnapped away by Wyon, Wyon used her to threaten me to go to that building, which you know about, and when I went there, I found out that Wyon had only kidnapped Olivia and had not done anything to her, so I was thinking that either Wyon wanted something from me, or someone behind him wanted to lure me there for some other purpose.”
Naturally, Levi knew this and nodded, not interrupting her and allowing her to continue.
“But if it was Wyon who wanted something from me, he should have been very clear in his purpose and should have asked for it from the very beginning when he threatened me with Olivia and asked me to go over there, but he didn’t, he just asked me to go there alone, and he only started talking about this with me when I arrived, so I think that he should not be the one behind this matter, but was used as a pawn and helped this person behind the curtain to stall for time after tricking me into going there, and when I saw someone come in with a potion, I was even more sure of that.”
“And have you seen the man behind the curtain?” This was a point of great concern to Levi.
Ruby shook her head, but laughed: “That person would not be so foolish as to show himself since he already has a pawn?”
“But I had already guessed who he was, so I swindled them then, but it turned out that Wyon had told out who was behind the curtain.”
With his eyes fixed on her, Levi asked, “Then who is the person behind this?”
Ruby raised his eyebrows and said Benjamin’s name.
This time, Levi’s face turned abruptly white, his teeth clenched and his voice sounded as if it was squeezed out from his teeth, “So it’s him!”
The corners of Ruby’s mouth were hooked in a mockery, and his tone was even more cynical: “Yes, I thought before that he had only just fought hard against us, so he should reasonably take a good rest at this time, but I didn’t expect that he would be so thievish as to dare to set a trap again on the cusp of the storm, waiting for me to jump into it.”
“How did he get involved with Wyon? Didn’t he and Raphael grow up together as friends?”
“Friends? In his eyes, there is no such thing as friendship, everything is just an object he can use, and as long as profit is at stake, he can betray! Even if he and Raphael had grown up together, so what? When he did this, where was his concern for Raphael’s safety? On the contrary, he was in cahoots with Wyon and had no shred of humanity left in him!”
Ruby had always been the most affectionate person, so she could not at all understand such people who trampled their former feelings underfoot.
Levi looked at her sulking face and knew that she was angry at this time, so he raised his hand and gently touched her cheek, warmly soothing her.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Forget it, there’s no way we can ask everyone to be a good person, it’s Benjamin himself who chose his way, it’s his bad that he didn’t cherish your friendship, it’s good that you see his true colours clearly now.”
Ruby tensed her face and snorted coldly, “I was merciful last time and didn’t treat him too harshly, I can’t believe he hasn’t given up. I don’t know how Raphael is doing now ……”
Levi thought about it and analyzed, “Although Wyon is sinister, since he got Raphael back from you and didn’t use him as a threat anymore, it seems that he wouldn’t be used as a bargaining chip anymore.”
Ruby did not agree, “You have thought it in a simple way. Wyon is not a good person and he is sinister. Since he had taken Raphael back, he must be up to something. Although he has not used his relationship with me to make any further threats so far, there is no guarantee that he has something else in mind, and I am worried about Raphael. He has been on the passive side since he was placed under house arrest by Wyon.”
Levi understood that she was a sentimentalist, he pondered and said in a warm voice, “Don’t worry, I will ask Chester to send some people to keep an eye on the Willamson family, as soon as there is anything, we will find a way to help.”
At these words, Ruby nodded.
Levi asked again, “Then why did you pretend to have amnesia if you knew that Benjamin was behind it? What exactly was it that he injected into you?”
Ruby’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if recalling the situation, and the image of the man holding a syringe and squeezing some liquid out of it came to mind.
“To be honest, I don’t know now what that person actually injected me with, what Benjamin was actually calculating behind the scenes, but the situation was very crisis. You suddenly brought people, the person just had time to inject a small part, maybe ……”
She thought for a moment, hesitating whether to tell him about the plum blossom mark on her body or not, but on second thought, even she herself did not understand what the plum blossom mark was all about, so she could not explain it to him, so she put the subject aside for the time being and only explained it vaguely.
“Maybe the potion didn’t work because the dose wasn’t enough, and I am fine.”
Only after hearing this did Levi put his mind in peace.
“So if you’re fine, why are you pretending you’re not? And pretend to lose your memory, even pretend you don’t remember your medical skills?”
