Chapter 280

“Do you think this is the solution? If I really want to find her, it’s actually very simple. You also know the
power of Cooper Family. I am a Military Commander and I also have a comrade who is the Director of
the Public Security Bureau. But I don’t want to use this relationship. But if Ruby is in danger, I will
definitely not ignore it.”
At the end of the sentence, Christian’s voice carried an unusual coldness and seriousness.
“Then you can give it a try and see if you can find it.” Ruby’s father turned his face to look to the side.
There was a look of unwillingness on his face.
“As long as I want to find it, I will definitely find it. But I know that emotional matters cannot be dealt with
in this way. I do not have any other requests right now. I only hope that you can let Ruby come out. Let
us see her once, no matter what kind of choice she makes. Let her speak clearly to Julian face to face!
Do you think this will work?”
“You can also make it clear face to face afterwards. Come back after the eighth of next month!” Ruby’s
father had made up his mind this time to make his daughter cut off contact with Julian.
“Uncle really won’t give my brother a chance?”
“Alright! I still have guests in my room. If you have nothing else to do, please leave!” Ruby’s father
opened the door as he spoke. He walked out of the side room first and looked at Christian in the room.
Christian looked at Ruby’s father’s expression and knew that whatever he said would not work for the
time being. He looked at Ruby’s father and nodded slightly. Then he turned around and walked out of
Ruby’s small courtyard.
Ever since Christian got out of the car, Julian had been anxiously waiting. When he heard the sound of
the door opening, Julian immediately turned his face to Christian and asked urgently, “Big Brother, did
you see Ruby?”
“No, Ruby is indeed not home.”
“Then what did her father say?”
“His attitude is very tough. . .”
“I’ll go talk to him!” Julian opened the door and was about to get out of the car when Christian held him



down.
“What are you talking about? You are not fit to talk to him with your current status. You have a wife and
a child. Even if you tell the heavens now, no one will believe you.”
“If others knew that Ruby was involved in your marriage with Vivian, their entire family will not be able
to raise their heads in this village, do you understand?”
As Christian spoke, he inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror. He accidentally saw a familiar
figure and frowned slightly.
“Big Brother, I can’t do that either! What do you think I should do? I can’t just watch Ruby marry
someone else, can I? It was not easy for me to meet a girl I like, but now it’s like this. . .”
In fact, Julian understood his situation more than anyone else in his heart. But when he thought about
Ruby’s whereabouts, he had an indescribable worry in his heart. The thing he was most afraid of was
Ruby getting married.
Christian looked at half of Mrs. Holmes’s figure in the rearview mirror. He thought for a moment and
said slowly, “How about this. I will call my comrade first and ask him to intervene in this matter. Before
you and Vivian’s matter is settled, we will first ensure that Ruby will not get married.”
Christian took out his phone as he spoke. He called his comrades.
Christian said a few simple words and then hung up. He looked at Julian beside him and said slowly,
“Don’t worry. I have already called. We will leave after they come.”
Christian called his friend, Warren. As soon as Christian hung up, Warren called his subordinates near
Ruby’s village. When the other party heard that it was the police chief’s order, he drove over in a short
while.
In fact, Christian had no choice but to do so. Seeing Ruby’s father’s attitude, he was also worried about
Ruby’s safety now. The thing that worried him the most was where Ruby was now.
If she was sent to her newly engaged mother-in-law’s house, not to mention waiting for the 8th of next
month, perhaps after tonight, everything would be too late.
Ruby’s father originally thought that what Christian said to him was just a casual bluff. But he did not
expect that in less than half an hour, the police at the police station would come looking for him.



The policemen said that someone had reported Ruby being kidnapped and her family members sold
her, so they wanted to see Ruby themselves.
When Ruby’s father heard the police’s words, he immediately clarified nervously. “Sir, Ruby is my
daughter. How can I do anything to my own daughter? It’s just a misunderstanding.”
But the policeman insisted on seeing Ruby themselves. “Please cooperate. It’s the order from our
superiors. We need to see Miss Ruby personally.”
In the end, Ruby’s father could not do anything about it and could only bring two policemen to Ruby’s
aunt’s house to bring Ruby back.
Hearing Christian say that Ruby had come, Julian immediately looked in Ruby’s direction and shouted
her name excitedly.
“Ruby! Is that you?” Julian shouted as he reached out his hand.
“Julian!” Ruby did not care that her father was by her side. She ran over and hugged Julian.
“Great! I finally see you again!” Julian hugged Ruby tightly. “Ruby, come back with me, okay?”
“Julian. . .” Ruby’s heart was filled with grievances from the past few days. Tears kept rolling down her
face.
When she heard his words, she kept nodding her head.
Because there were policemen at the scene, Ruby’s father did not know what to say. He just looked at
his crying daughter and said coldly, “Ruby, come in. I need to talk to you.”
After saying that, he turned around and entered his own house’s courtyard.
Ruby struggled out of Julian’s arms and looked at Julian. “You wait for me here. I will come out in a
while.”
“Okay.” Julian nodded and let go of her body.
Ruby looked at Julian and quickly followed her father into her home. Because in the main house, there
were still some guests present, Ruby’s father brought Ruby into the side room.
When the father and daughter walked in, Ruby’s father slammed the door shut.
Christian and Julian waited outside for about ten minutes. Only then did they hear Ruby’s footsteps in
the yard.



Julian could hear Ruby’s footsteps in the yard and it was only one person. His face immediately lit up.
“Ruby!” When Ruby walked in front of Julian, Julian immediately stretched out his hand.
“My dad promised to let me go back with you. . .” Ruby held Julian’s hand and said in a low voice.
“Great. Then let’s go.” Julian immediately turned around and took the car with him.
Christian saw the two of them get in the car and walked to the two policemen to thank them.
The two policemen saw that the matter had been settled, so they waved at Christian and drove away.
Seeing the police car leave, Christian then sat in the car and started the engine quickly, leaving Ruby’s
home.
Mrs. Holmes originally followed to see the situation, but she never would have thought that Christian
actually called the police and easily took Ruby away.

Seeing Christian’s car go far away, she quickly walked out of the alley and went to Ruby’s home.

Ruby’s father was indescribably depressed today. So the moment he got home, he sent all the guests
away.
As Mrs. Holmes walked into Ruby’s house, Ruby’s father was just about to send the guests out of the
house when he heard Mrs. Holmes’s shout.
When he turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Holmes, he immediately warmly invited her into the
house.
Mrs. Holmes’s heart was filled with anger. The moment she walked into the house, she sat down on the
chair. Seeing Ruby’s father sat down, she angrily slam the table, “Cousin, isn’t your family going too
far? I just called you beforehand. You asked Julian to take your daughter away! Is there a person like
you?”
“Cousin, since you said so, you must have seen what happened just now. I had no choice. They said
that I sold my daughter. What do you think I can do?” Ruby’s father looked helplessly at Mrs. Holmes
and explained.
“Don’t you have a mouth? You just listened what they said? Don’t you know how to explain? Tell me
about you, you are already a few decades old, how can you let your daughter do such a shameful



thing? No matter how much you want to earn money, you can’t sell your daughter to earn money.”
Mrs. Holmes thought of the scene that just happened and gritted her teeth angrily. Her words were a
little heavy.
Hearing this, Ruby’s father’s face changed. He looked at Mrs. Holmes and said somewhat angrily,
“Cousin, your words are a little too much. When did I sell my daughter for money?”
“Humph! You didn’t? Then why did you let Ruby follow Julian just now? Julian is now someone who
has a wife and child! Cousin, I know your family’s situation is not good. So I wanted Vivian to help you
guys, so I called Ruby to Cooper Family to help the maids. But you guys! Ruby did such a thing. Not
only did you not stop her, you even took the initiative to send your daughter out! You guys. . . Can you
do this to me?”
Although Ruby’s father felt wronged in his heart, he also understood that he could not stand on this
matter at all. He lowered his head and took a few deep breaths of the cigarette in his hand.
After spitting out a thick smoke, he looked at Mrs. Holmes and said, “Sister, you don’t have to worry too
much. Although I agreed that Ruby will go with them this time, I have already told her that if Julian
divorced Vivian because of Ruby, then I will die at the entrance of Cooper Group!”
Mrs. Holmes heard Ruby’s father’s words and was stunned for a moment. But then she felt reassured
in her heart. She did not know Ruby’s father for one or two years and she knew his character very well.
If he said so, he would definitely do it.
“Okay! Since you have already said so, then there is nothing for me to worry about. I hope cousin will
keep his word!” Mrs. Holmes stood up as she spoke.
“Cousin, I will definitely do as I say. But there is an ugly sentence that I must also say to the front!”
Although what her daughter did was not honorable, Ruby’s father could not allow others to bully his
daughter.
“Okay! Speak!”
“If Vivian and Julian divorce because of something else, cousin, please don’t blame our Ruby!”
Mrs. Holmes heard his words and laughed. Then she coldly said, “Don’t worry! If it was not for your
Ruby meddling in this, Vivian and Julian would not know how good their relationship would be now.”



After Mrs. Holmes said that, she took her bag and left Ruby’s home without looking back.
Julian held Ruby’s hand tightly all the way. He had not gotten any news about her these few days and
his heart was almost in his throat. Now he could finally hold her hand again. Hearing her voice and
smelling the unique fragrance on her body, he felt that the whole world had become stable again.
He did not know if it was because Christian was also present here, but no matter what Julian said to
Ruby along the way, she only nodded silently.
Julian understood her personality and also knew that Christian was by their side now, so he didn’t mind
her reaction at all. To him, as long as she returned, his life would have hope.
