Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 285

At the sound of her words, Ruby did not even move her eyebrows and refused without the slightest hesitation.

"No matter what conditions you offer, I don't care, I won't save Zach Marsh, he did his own sins before, he always had to pay the price, now, it's his retribution coming, it's God's will."

Matteo listened with a start, "What ...... what sins? What retribution?"

He couldn't understand it, and equally unintelligible were the other three.

Layton subconsciously asked, "What mistakes had Zach made before?"

However, Ruby did not say it, but only said in a light voice: "If you want to know, ask Zach yourself, and see if he has the guts to say it out loud."

As her words fell, she slouched into the sofa, looking as if she wasn't going to talk anymore.

"In short, I will not save him, so if there is nothing else, you may go back."

Although Matteo was also puzzled, his father must be saved no matter what.

"Miss Harold, are you really going to leave him alone?"

When he spoke again, he was no longer as polite as before, his tone was cold, and his face had turned angry.

Ruby originally half-closed her eyes, but at the sound of his voice, she lifted her eyelids, and her calm but unusually sharp eyes looked straight at him, with a bit of compulsion.

"If I say yes, what do you want? You sound like you're going to threaten me?"

Matteo was instantly choked, both eyebrows knitted together, his face dark.

Somehow, he was obviously much older and more experienced than her, but at this moment, he felt that the aura surrounding this young woman was just too powerful!

It was obvious that she was sitting lazily, but she was overpowering him in terms of aura!

He gritted his teeth and his eyes sank, looking at her with a gradually colder look.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right and there was a bit of sabre rattling, Layton and Dr. Moore looked at each other and hurriedly got up, interrupting their stare-off with a smile.

"Ruby is still so principled, after all these years, she hasn't changed."

Then he patted Matteo's shoulder.

"Mr. Marsh, since Ruby doesn’t want to do it, you can’t force her. There are thousands of ways in this world, there's always another way out."

Matteo wrinkled his brow at him with an unhappy expression, "What other way can there be? My father is in critical condition, there is not much time left to spend ......"

He spoke in a deep voice, but inexplicably paused when he met Layton's eyes.

Then, Layton said, "I know time is short, don't worry, I will help you think of other ways, but right now there is a very important matter that I need to discuss with you, it is about our cooperation project ......"

As the words fell, he excused himself from saying much here and pulled Matteo away.

Dr. Moore did not go away and looked at Ruby's cold face and sighed softly.

"What unforgivable mistake has Zach made that you have such a grudge of him, saying that you refuse to heal him?"

Ruby shrugged her shoulders with little emotion.

"I have nothing against him per se, in other words, I have no interest at all in what he did or didn't do, but it's impossible to expect me to save him."

In fact, regarding the sins that Zach had done, she was not sure at first.

She had little to do with the Marsh family, and she had only had a few contacts with Zach.

However, a few years ago, because of a mission, she met Zach, and by mistake, she used the art of divination to calculate his past, which gave her insight into the sins he had committed.

Zach, however, shook his head, "What's the use of drinking these laborious medicines? My health is not getting any better, take it away, I won't drink it."

Hearing him say that, Matteo immediately frowned, "Dad, you ......"

Zach did not want to listen to his chatter and asked directly, "Have you seen Ruby today?"

At those words, Matteo's hands paused and he nodded with a sullen face.

"She refused, didn’t she?"

Matteo didn't know how to reply, stirring the blackened medicinal juice in the bowl, and only after a moment did he say, "Dad, don't worry, if I don't succeed once, I'll go for a second time, and no matter what I use, I'll bring her here so she can cure you!"

As he said this, a dangerous light flashed under his eyes.

But Zach did not notice as he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

In fact, he had expected this result, but he was still a bit undeterred.

Seeing this look on his face, Matteo hesitated and still couldn't help but ask out the doubts in his heart.

"Dad, did you do something when you were younger ......"

He could not say the original words of Ruby, so he had to ask it in such an oblique way.

At the word, Zach lifted her eyes to look at him and did not answer immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, as if he had made a decision, he closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he said with a straight face, "Matteo, go and call all the people outside in, I have something to say."

Matteo was startled in his heart and vaguely guessed something, and quickly gave a look to Lacie.

Lacie immediately got up to do so, calling in the family along with Layton who was guarding the outside.
