Chapter 341
Chapter 341
Although Rufus was not as good-looking as Xavier, he was still outstanding among ordinary people.
After all, few could match Xavier.
He was tall, handsome, and rich.
Rufus looked into the corner. He had been unconvinced. What was worse for him than Xavier?
Why didn't Georgina like him?
Laura followed his gaze and saw that Rufus was looking at Xavier. She couldn't help but wonder why
he looked at Xavier when she asked him who Georgina liked.
Did she...
"How can he be liked?" Rufus said with some dissatisfaction.
If he knew that Laura also liked Xavier a little bit, he would definitely be angry.
Laura's expression changed repeatedly. Indeed, Xavier was popular not only because of his
appearance and money but also his unique temperament. A man in his thirties would be calm, and a
man in his twenties would be unruly and ruffian, which perfectly blended with him.
"Not surprisingly." Laura shrugged her shoulders.
Rufus's mouth was almost crooked and said coldly. "What a bad taste."
Laura almost subconsciously said, "Those who like you should have no taste."
The host handed the microphone to Rufus. "Now, I would like to invite the bridegroom to address
everyone."
Rufus took the microphone. "Everyone knows that I had a marriage before, but it wasn't my final
destination, so god gave me another chance to meet Laura..."
Laura couldn't help but tremble. Her goosebumps even came out. It was really mushy.
Rufus looked at Laura affectionately, "Thank you for giving me the chance to be your husband."
Laura smiled in response.
"Now I have a speech for the bride-to-be..." Before the host could finish his sentence, a dozen people
came in. The host thought they were late guests, so he said, "Please hurry up and sit down..."
But the dozen of them did not sit down. Instead, they walked solemnly through the corridor between the
tables and chairs towards Mr. Gates.
The host had to stop, and there was a noise.
They whispered and guessed what those people were doing. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Are you Paul Gates?" Bill asked sternly.
There was no expression on his face except a serious look. In fact, he know who he was without
asking. But he should follow the procedure.
Very few people called him by his name like this. Mr. Gates was not used to it. He frowned and said
unhappily, "Yes, I am. You..."
Bill did not answer him. Instead, he took out his ID card and an investigation order. "You are related to
a major case. Please come with us."
Mr. Gates's hand trembled slightly, but his face was extremely calm. "Why don't I know you?"
"Please follow us." Bill didn't answer his question.
Rufus came over and stood in front of Mr. Gates. "What are you doing? Can't you see that I'm engaged
today? How dare you screw it up?"
Bill turned a blind eye to Rufus and looked over at Mr. Gates. "Please!"
Although he was still talking, he had already signaled his subordinates to prepare to arrest him.
"What are you doing? Do you know who my father is?" Rufus grabbed Bill's collar. Mr. Gates pulled
Rufus away and whispered to him, "Don't be impulsive, especially after I leave with them."
Rufus frowned. "Why are you going with them..."
"Remember what I said. Don't be impulsive." Mr. Gates looked at him and warned him with his eyes.
He couldn't say anything more in front of so many people. He could only keep Rufus calm.
The investigation order just now was real. They were all cops dressed in casual clothes, and their
attitude was so tough that it couldn't be fake.
"Excuse me." Bill stepped forward and controlled Mr. Gates.
Just like that, he was taken away in front of so many people.
Immediately, there was chaos among the guests.
Rufus came to his senses after a few seconds.
Mr. Woody knew that something must happen. The other party must have some evidence of Mr. Gates,
or else they wouldn't have rushed to arrest him.
Taking someone away today, saying it was an investigation, was actually just a procedure.
Such a person would not be randomly arrested without conclusive evidence.
He quietly left the chaotic scene and walked to the stairwell to make a phone call.
Before the phone could be dialed, the door in the corridor was pushed open. Xavier pushed Cullen and
stood at the door.
Mr. Woody looked back at them.
Mr. Woody was the son of Cullen's comrade.
In the past, they had been close to each other, but after the death of their old comrades and Cullen's
leaving from W City, they gradually contacted less and less, but there was still some affection.
This time, he was part of the reason why he was there.
Originally, Cullen wanted to tell him in advance, but he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he
waited for things to break out.
Yes, what happened today was not accidental but premeditated.
"Come with me." Cullen's low voice with vicissitudes echoed in the corridor.
Mr. Woody was not stupid either. It was obvious that he was talking to him. At this time, he also wanted
to know what was going on.
In the private room on the second floor, Cullen was in a wheelchair and Xavier was standing behind
him.
Mr. Woody glanced at Xavier and finally at Cullen. "Uncle, do you know what happened?"
Mr. Woody asked almost impatiently.
He was too anxious.
"There is evidence that Paul Gates was involved in gangs and colluded with them..."
"How is that possible?" Mr. Woody couldn't believe it.
"He has status, and Rufus has money. Why did he do such a thing?" Mr. Woody couldn't figure it out.
"You never thought about why Rufus was rich, did you?" Cullen asked.
Mr. Woody frowned and seemed to understand Cullen's words. "You mean Rufus earned money in an
illegal way?"
Although he asked, he already had an answer in his heart.
So what Mr. Gates promised him before was all a lie?
After all, Mr. Gates's status was high, so he believed it at that time. Even if he would be retired
immediately, he still had a foundation. Rufus still ran the XWX Group, so he agreed to the marriage.
"Before it's too late," Cullen said.
He didn't want to see his comrade's son dragged down. If Laura really married Rufus, then the Woody
Family would be involved in the fall of the Gates Family in the future.
Even if Georgina and Rufus divorced, it would be hard for Georgina to escape from being investigated.
Mr. Woody was anxious. His mind kept running, thinking about how to solve this problem.
The so-called is solution is not to involve the Woody Family.
He was now particularly annoyed that how he could believe Paul's words.
Xavier pushed Cullen away. "Wait..."
Cullen saw that Mr. Woody was so nervous and said, "Don't panic. Take her away now."
"If you don't want your daughter to marry Rufus, then cancel the engagement before the guests leave,"
Xavier said coldly.
"Xavier is right. You should take the opportunity to get rid of the Gates Family."
Mr. Woody nodded repeatedly. "I think it's feasible. I'll go now."
The hall was in a mess. Someone on the stage bumped into the champagne. With a loud crash, the
champagne towers piled up fell to the ground, causing even more commotion. Shattered glass filled the
floor, and the red carpet was dyed...
Laura stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Rufus was dealing with the matter at hand. All the security guards were deployed to keep it going.
Rufus held the microphone and tried to calm everyone down. "Everyone, calm down. Listen to me. The
engagement ceremony is over now. My father is fine. I'm sure the authorities will find out..."
"Wait." Mr. Woody walked in through the crowd.
