Mr. Finn’s Spoiled Wife Plan

Chapter 81 Someone Enquiring About Nellie



Ruby came in the door and a call came from her assistant Dottie.

She sat down casually on the sofa and picked up the video call.

Dottie’s stern face appeared on the phone screen.

Dottie is now in charge of matters related to the laboratory in F Country. She also manages several companies and regularly reports to Ruby once a month.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The company is doing well now, and its current foray into H Country is well organized, so there is nothing for her to worry about.

After Dottie had reported on the work, she paused for a moment before speaking with a stern face about something else: “Chairman, three days ago someone was checking the information on your mother and grandmother.”

“What?” Ruby’s expression, which was still careless, instantly became serious as she sat up straight and looked fixedly at Dottie in the phone screen, waiting for her to continue.

“We backtracked through and were spotted and intercepted by the other side, without tracking down exactly which side was investigating them.”

“I know, leave this matter to me.” Ruby took this matter very seriously.

Nellie has been dead for almost ten years, at this time someone actually came to investigate her, it must be something wrong. Her grandmother would be normal to be investigated because of her.

She was silent for a moment before suddenly asking Dottie, “Send me a copy of my grandmother’s information, and my mother’s as well.”

Dottie didn’t ask much and agreed, and after a few casual conversations, the two hung up.

In less than 10 minutes, Dottie’s information was emailed to Ruby.

Her brow furrowed was she read it.

The profile of the two men is so simple that it is as if someone has deliberately erased something of their past.

Ruby looked at her grandmother’s information in thought, especially the name – Joanna Hussain, she instinctively thought of Ashley Hussain she had met in Dr. Moore’s research institute, also surnamed Yuan.

Nellie’s information even made Ruby frown. It only contained her biography, when she was born, when she went to school and which school she went to, but nothing else.

After reading the two people’s information, Ruby sent another message to Dottie and learned that this was the most detailed information they could investigate, before wrinkling her brows and looking at Nellie’s one-inch photo on the computer screen.

Imperial Sea Hotel, Penthouse Presidential Suite.

Patrick covered his mouth and coughed for a while, an unhealthy flush surfaced on his pale face, and only after the coughing subsided did he look at the person in front of him, “Didn’t you find out?”

“No, we investigated the old lady and the young lady of the Grant family. The young lady of the Grant family died in an accident eight years ago, leaving behind a daughter, the old lady left H Country for F Country five years ago and has not returned, the information we found shows that the old lady has been in poor health and is now convalescing in F Country. Other than that there is no useful information.” The man who answered was in his early forties, with a straight face and an upright look.

Patrick was silent for a moment before nodding thoughtfully, “It’s not surprising that we can’t find out, since the trail is broken here, there’s no need to continue investigating, you can go back.”

“Yes.” The man agreed and added at the end, “By the way, when we were investigating their information, we were backtracked, so we can’t rule out that someone is deliberately withholding certain information about them.”

Patrick was slightly surprised, but it only lasted for a few seconds before he lost interest: “Nellie was the only person who knew about what happened back then, since she has passed away, there is no need to continue investigating this matter. Go back to the capital. Tell father that we can’t find out any clues about mother.”

“Okay.”

After the middle-aged man left, Patrick sat on the sofa for a while, dazed, and Ruby’s delicate face came to his mind, he subconsciously touched his face, and then let out a bitter smile.

Ruby and Patrick had an appointment for a treatment at 10am the next morning at Shangcheng International.

Ruby heard the doorbell and opened the door at 9am. When she saw the man standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment before giving way to let him in.

Before Patrick could enter, the door of Levi opened next door. His face was replaced with a silver mask today, blocking half of his face, and his body exuded low pressure, so it was clear that he was still not in a good mood.

Ruby looked up only once before withdrawing her gaze and leading Patrick into the door, closing it behind her.

Levi frowned, having just swept a glance at Patrick, he vaguely felt some familiarity.

Looking at the closed door, he stood in the doorway for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze and heading out the door at a brisk pace.

There was a problem in District 7, and when he went to check the black market last night, several of his men received very serious injuries and their lives were now in danger, so he had to get there as soon as possible to deal with it.

After taking Patrick in, Ruby poured water for him.

Patrick had already given all the prepared herbs to Ruby. Ruby was a little surprised when she glanced at them, not expecting that the herbs were not only fine, but the vintage was much higher than even she had expected.

“Your family specializes in growing and selling medicinal herbs?” Ruby asked subconsciously.

Patrick smiled warmly and didn’t hide: “Yes, my ancestors were imperial doctors at the palace, but the last few generations have not been very talented in Chinese medicine, so nowadays they make a living by selling herbs.”

Ruby thought about the information she had researched and was silent for a while before nodding as if nothing had happened and carrying the medicine into the kitchen.

She had not yet had the time to set up her own laboratory after her return to H Country and did not have the necessary tools to make medicine, so she simply used a pressure cooker to do so.

Fortunately, the results were good. She went in and carefully processed the herbs, then put them in a pot, turned on the heat and began to simmer slowly before turning around and coming out again to check Patrick’s body.

“What did you eat yesterday!?” Ruby sensed that something was wrong as soon as she felt his pulse, the toxin in this person’s body was much more active than yesterday, it should be because he had just ingested a new toxin yesterday and stimulated the poison in his body.

When Patrick saw her gloomy face, he didn’t hide it and gave a full account of what he had eaten since he left the black market yesterday.

“During the treatment, don’t take any more medicine except the one I give you. For food and drink … there is a private restaurant in an alley in the west of city which has good medicinal food, you can go there to eat.” Ruby was silent for a long time, unable to tell for a while what had gone wrong, and could only give the advice kindly.

Patrick nodded in response. Ruby turned around and went back to get the silver needles out.

The process of applying the needles could not be disturbed, and as Patrick’s case was a bit of a problem, the treatment had to be done more carefully.

Ruby told him to take off his clothes and lie down. Patrick was slightly embarrassed, but looking at Ruby’s serious face, without any thoughts, he cursed himself for thinking too much, so he obediently took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.

Ruby pondered where to place the needle and did not notice that he was out of place, and when her eyes fell on him, her expression changed slightly again.

This man actually had a plum-shaped birthmark on his chest identical to her own.
