Robert fell silent for a moment before sighing. "As long as Jason doesn't ask me, then I don't have to say a word. However, I don't want today's event to repeat. You shouldn't have brought someone from the Jeremys here!"
Hearing this, Chaloe sighed in relief, but her expression changed once again.
She spoke resolutely,“He's injured now and may still be pursued. Can't he stay for a few days? Robert, I know what you're thinking, but he has helped me twice before. The previous incident might've offset your debt, but there's still one more. I must repay him!"
Westfield laughed and reminded, "Redsprings, please stop speaking nonsense.We're at her house right now, so don't let anyone hear us!”
"Well, I do Kyle Anderson is quite suitable for you!" Redsprings smiled and helped Westfield apply medicine, his tone serious.
In fact, Robert's appearance made him realize that Ridgeland wasn't simple.Right now, he obviously wanted to find someone who could help Westfield.Furthermore, he could also see that Ridgeland had developed feelings for Westfield. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bravely protected him and risked everythinng to Michael Cox out just now!
Westfield didn't expect Redsprings to continue talking. Frowning, he was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
Immediately after,Ridgeland walked in.
She worriedly asked, "Westfield, are your injuries serious? Should I call a doctor to come check on you?"
With his complexion seemingly normal again, Westfield smiled calmly to Ridgeland as he replied, "I'm fine, Redsprings just helped treat it for me. How could it be serious? Autumnheights be fine after a few days!"
"Good, then just stay here for those few days. Autumnheights go prepare dinner for you," she said and turned to leave.
However, Westfield clearly sensed something unusual from her last gaze.
"Sir, I feel like something's off with Kyle Anderson. Her emotions don't seem quite right!" Redsprings whispered, noticing her strangeness as well.
Westfield's heart stirred. Why was she so hesitant and helpless?
He suddenly ordered, "Redsprings, let's leave quietly tonight. Prepare yourself, and make sure Ridgeland doesn't suspect anything!"
“Leave tonight? "Redsprings was startled.
"No matter who she is, we have no reason to burden her. She has already helped us once before! If we directly tell her that we're leaving, she wouldn't agree. Therefore, we have to go quietly,” Westfield explained, his tone leaving no room for doubt as he had made his decision.
Redsprings fell silent.
“What? Do you have something else to say?" Westfield raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Sir, I have a New Falls here in Meadow Park. If you really plan on leaving.perhaps we can go there temporarily," Redsprings hesitated for a moment before explaining.
"You've truly thought ahead, Redsprings!" Westfield laughed immediately upon hearing Redsprings's words.
It seems Redsprings was also prepared for this outcome!
During dinner, Ridgeland appeared to be deep in thought while occasionally talking with Westfield.
Michael was nowhere to be soen, creating a somewhat abnormal atmosphere.
Westfield and Redsprings exchanged glances, finalizing their decision to leave tonight.
Aftor returning to the room. Westfield wrote a letter and placed it on the bedside. After all, he needed to inform Ridgeland why he was leaving without saying goodbye.
Later that night, when Ridgeland had turned off the lights in her room and gone to bed, they both quietly left the houise and got into a waiting car by the roadside.
On the New Falls's rooftop, Robert stood in the dark as he watched them getting into the car. There was slight helplessness in his eyes,""I2S better this way...“
An hour later, the car dropped the two off at a New Falls area near Breeze Resort.
Once they got out, Redsprings led Westfield into the area and casually said,“Wealthy people bought most of the New Fallss here for vacation purposes.Normally, there's only security guards here, and not many people. It's safer for us."
"You always think things through!" Westfield nodded approvingly.
Redsprings's New Falls was located near a man-made lake beside Breeze Mountain, and it had quite a nice view.
Just as they settled in, Redsprings made a bowl of instant noodles for Westfield and brought it to his room.
He weakly explained, "Sir, since we came here suddenly, we didn't have a chance to buy groceries. There's only some noodles in this place, so please bear with it for now,"
“Don't say that, Redsprings. It's fine. Having a warm meal is enough for now,“Westfield reassured.
He took the noodles, smiling as he continued,"Having a temporary place to settle down is already more than enough."
"Sir,did you already expect this would happen? What's your next step?”Redsprings suddenly asked, changing the topic.
Westfield didn't plan to hide anything from Redsprings regarding his arrangements, responding as he ate,"If Jonathan could frame me,then why can't I fight back?“
"So that means you do have some early preparations?" Redsprings stared at Westfield intently and inquired.
"Ever since Jonathan threw me to Novaría three years ago, I've been preparing for any possible mishaps. Do you remember the largest partner company we had overseas?" Westfield nodded,asking in return.
"Do you mean that offshore investment company?" Redsprings seemed to have guessed something and was surprised.
Westfield explained while smiling, "Yes, that's my Plan B! Almost all of John Reed investments in the past three years were established through that company. As a third-party and the largest investor in all those projects, they can withdraw funds at any time and leave the mess to Kenneth Scott!"
"Back then, I never understood why you insisted on collaborating with such a shady foreign company. I didn't expect it to be yours!"Redsprings had now understood Westfield's plan.
Once this company withdrew all of its investments, Kenneth Scott would face defaults and enormous losses. It wouldn't be impossible for it to collapse within a short time. Moreover, the pile-up of bad debts and legal suits from partnerships will make Kenneth Scott panic.
Redsprings knew Westfield had a backup plan, but he didn't expect it to be so big and decisive!
Westfield put down his chopsticks and approached the window, looking at the moon in the sky. His gaze became sharper.
"Like I said, it'd be impossible for Jonathan to get something with nothing. Since he wants Kenneth Scott, Autumnheights give it to him! However,what he'll get is a ticking time bomb!
Westfield's words shocked Redsprings even more.
His plan wasn't just aimed at Kenneth Scott, but at the Jeremy family's entire business empire!
Once Kenneth Scott collapsed or even went bankrupt, it would be a huge blow to the entire family, even affecting their work with other businesses. Their total assets would fall by at least 5 to 10 percent!
Although it sounded small, less than a tenth, it would still be a major blow to a large corporation like the Jeremys. Their business emnpire would be greatly affected.
In terms of big issues, this was undoubtedly a terrifying number.Once this occurs, it would definitely make Jonathan lose his temper and greatly affect his reputation in the Jeremy family!
"Sir, if you do that, the consequences...“
Redsprings's face contorted. The consequences he mentioned weren't about the Jeremy family's losses, but their subsequent anger!
"Christiant's also my biggest concern,so we must do this at the right Mark's either we strike while the iron's hot, or we just don't!"
Westfield snorted coldly, clenching his fists tightly.
"However, we wouldn't be able to withstand their anger right now,especially since Logan is a major threat now!" Redsprings couldn't help but remind.
Upon hearing this, Westfield sighed helplessly."Christiant's why I want power, enough to confront the Jeremy family's strength! However,I can't rush in doing this."
If Logan reappeared, with Westfield's current strength, he wouldn't stand a chance and could only be killed.
This powerlessness made him feel frustrated and deeply helpless.
After brief silence, Redsprings suddenly said, "Sir, I think it's time I give you this thing I've been keeping."
Westfield was surprised as he asked,"What is it?"
"...It's a box that Jason entrusted me to keep. I'm sorry, Sir,for hiding this from you all this time. I did it under Jason's request.One time, she told me to only hand this over to you when there's no other choices in a crisis.“
Redsprings explained through clenched teeth.
"My mother? Why are you telling me this now?" Westfield's face turned pale as he asked.
He had always trusted Redsprings, and the latter knew how much he wanted to find any clues about his mother. Despite that, he hid this information about his mother for so many years!
"I'm sorry, Sirl I merely followed Jason's orders, and I never wanted to keep this from you! I won't complain if you're angry or want to scold me!"
Redsprings immediately kneeled on the ground, resolutely apologizing.
This instantly diminished Westfield's anger by half. He also knew that since this his mother specially requested this, Redsprings wasn't the one at fault.
"Alright,get up and tell me what exactly happened. When did my mother give you this box, and what did she say?"
Westfield waved his hand, urgently asking.
After so many years, he finally received some news about her.
However, he never thought she'd left him something!
"It was just a few days before the car accident. At that time, Jason suddenly called for me and gave me this small box."
Redsprings slowly began to explain.
