Ruth left, with Ryan's tacit agreement.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the door, Ryan ordered the servant next to him, "Follow Madam and see where she goes. Call me and report it to me!"
*
After Ruth left the Home of Quartley, she cried for a while, then wiped her tears and continued to think of countermeasures.
Her relatives and friends all avoided Sawyer because they were afraid of getting involved with the murderer. As for Ryan, he made it clear that he would not save him.
After thinking about it for a while, Ruth sadly found that she seemed to have no choice but to beg Amelia for mercy!
She hated it when she thought of how she had to beg that illegitimate daughter in person! Why did the heavens treat her so unfairly? She was Ryan's legal wife, but she had to beg a mistress' child!
But for the sake of her son, she could only do this!
An hour later—
Ryan, who was restless at home, finally received a call from the servant who had been following Ruth along the way.
He asked quickly, "How is it going? Have you found Madam's foothold?"
"Old Master, after Madam left home, she took a taxi to the Ramsay residence. It seemed that she was looking for someone. However, they didn't let her in. She, she..."
What did she do?"
"She just knelt on the ground and didn't want to get up..."
"What?!" Ryan's heart ached when he heard those words. He never thought that his wife would do such a thing!
His hand holding the phone tightened inch by inch until the blue veins were exposed. "Listen carefully. Bring Madam back now. If she refuses, you have to drag her back for me!"
"But Old Master..."
"If she wants to pursue the matter afterward, just tell her that I'm the one who told you to do this!" Ryan added.
The servant was relieved and immediately replied, "Yes." Then she hung up the phone, walked out from behind a big tree, and quickly came to Ruth's side.
"Madam, what are you doing? Get up quickly! If there's anything, you can go home and discuss it with Old Master."
Ruth knelt on the ground and faced the gate of the Ramsay residence. Without raising her head, she asked, "Did Ryan ask you to follow me?"
The servant quickly explained, "Old Master was worried about you, so he asked me to follow you."
"He's worried that I'll harass his daughter..."
Ruth thought sarcastically.
"Go back and tell him that this is none of his business."
The servant said timidly, "Madam, Old Master said that I have to take you back no matter what. You have always been kind, so don't make things difficult for me, a servant."
"Kind? Ha." Ruth laughed at herself. "I am kneeling here because I was too easy-going."
"Madam..." Seeing that she could not persuade her, the servant gritted her teeth and said, "Please forgive me for being rude!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and was about to pull Ruth up from the ground!
"But if we don't kill him, he will kill us."
"No way! He managed to escape with great difficulty. How could he come back to Northville and kill you so stupidly?"
From Ruth’s point of view, Sawyer must have escaped as far away as possible this time and would not come back again.
Amelia shook her head and said, "Then I can only say that you don't know your son well."
"I don't know him?"
Seeing Ruth's confused face, Amelia simply said, "You only know that he has been fighting with my husband openly and secretly for Sissi, but you don't know that in addition to his identity as an investor, he has another identity, which is that he is actually a drug dealer. He not only sells drugs, but also privately sells weapons. My husband's elder brother has long been targeting him."
The truth was too dark for Ruth, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs and kind-hearted. She could not understand it and asked, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word?"
"Ms. Anderson, your precious son is even more evil than you think. If you let him go now, we won't be the only ones to suffer in the future. There will be more innocent people who will get involved. Are you sure you want to continue to kneel down and beg for mercy for him?"
"No..." Ruth shook her head subconsciously, trying to deny what Amelia said.
"Just now, you said that Sawyer would not come back after he ran away. On the contrary, a person who dares to sell drugs is bold and ruthless. You will know when you look at the international news. If Mr. Hopper and I let him go, we will die!"
Ruth's body swayed and she fell to the ground. "That's impossible! My son... How could he be the kind of person you're talking about?"
"I've already told you the truth. If you don't believe me, you can go to my brother's police station and ask about it. By the way, you can see the photos of those policemen who died in your son's hands!"
The last sentence, in Ruth's ears, could be said to be heart-wrenching!
For her son, she ignored those policemen who had died in vain. And those policemen had parents and children. Was her son's life the only thing that mattered? Wasn't the life of others important?
