Ex Husband Goes Money Comes Chapter 472
Chapter 472 Are You Short of Money?
The soldiers all retreated to the station.
Russell and Leia had been waiting at the door for a long time by the time Viola, Ormand, and Todd carrying Sherlyn returned to
Viorin.
Knowing their plan for today, Russell was restless, pacing back and forth at the door.
Leia found a stool and sat down, while Russell stood there.
It was already dark, and Russell's shadow became very long under the street light.
Leia couldn't help but say, "Mr. McGraw, can you stay quiet for a while? It makes me dizzy! Why don't you have a seat?"
Russell ignored Leia and continued to pace back and forth.
It was already late.
There was still no news from Viola, and Russell wondered if the plan was going well.
How could Russell be at ease at this critical moment?
Unable to persuade Russell, Leia shook her head helplessly and waited for Todd, bored.
After a while...
Russell heard hurried footsteps not far away. He turned his head to look. Even though the light outside was a little dim, Russell
instantly fixed his eyes on Sherlyn who was on Todd's back.
"Sherlyn?"
Russell ran over. He decisively took the unconscious Sherlyn from Todd's back and hugged her tightly.
Russell noticed that Sherlyn's face was pale, and there were obvious bruises on her wrists and neck. Russell was so distressed,
and his eyes turned red. He looked at Viola. “Viola, what happened? Is she injured?"
“Let's talk inside. It's inconvenient now," Viola sighed.
Russell understood and immediately nodded. He carried Sherlyn and ran towards Viorin.
The other three quickly followed.
Russell learned the whole story from Viola two minutes later.
Bang...
In the villa, there was a loud noise punching the table. It startled the birds in the trees.
Russell was so angry, and he wished he could immediately kill Ronian. “How could he ground and torture his sister? He is simply
a beast!"
It was tense in the living room.
Sherlyn was settled in the guest room. Leia took care of her, helping her change into a set of clean clothes and wiping her body.
Todd and Viola looked down and were very serious.
Ormand pursed his lips and said coldly, "My coffee table is crystal glass from abroad. If it is broken, you have to pay no matter
what."
Russell, Todd, and Viola were all speechless.
Russell's eyes were still red. He looked at Ormand in shock and felt hurt. "Ormand, Sherlyn and I have got into such trouble.
How could you ask me to compensate for the crystal coffee table?"
Todd rubbed his nose and said, "Ormand, are you short of money recently? Did you do something wrong and Viola gave you
less money?"
This time, Viola was speechless, and she looked at Ormand in confusion.
Even so, Ormand explained calmly, Because Viola really likes this new coffee table, not a single crack is allowed."
Viola seemed to notice a bit of an atmosphere.
Viola laughed as she glanced at Ormand. She quickly understood what he meant.
Given Russell was so angry, Ormand was afraid that Russell would be as irrational as last time, so Ormand deliberately changed
the topic to break the ice, and to make Russell less angry at Ronian.
Viola thought Ormand was more and more careful.
Viola cracked a smile and turned to look at Russell. Sure enough, he was much better. Then Viola got down to the business.
"Russell, Sherlyn might have a mental problem. We do need to get a doctor to treat her. As Ronian will definitely keep an eye on
her and ask, we need to restore him to normal as soon as possible.
"When Sherlyn is almost recovered, she will be sent to the National Bureau of Investigation to be examined by a qualified
psychiatrist. Only in this way can we find out what Ronian did to her and bring Ronian to justice."
Russell nodded and had no objections.
Viola continued, "In addition, I suggest that Sherlyn stays in Viorin during this period.”
Russell did not agree immediately. "Viola, can you let me bring her back to take care of her? She seems to have ... not known
me anymore...”
Russell was very guilty, especially when he saw Sherlyn being tortured like that by Ronian. Russell felt heartbroken.
If Russell could not personally do something for Sherlyn, he would not forgive himself.
Viola understood Russell and knew that he was trying his best to make up for the damage Sherlyn suffered, but it couldn't work.
Viola explained reasonably, "No, Russell. Ronian will definitely take action to escape punishment. If he asks, Ronian won't
complain as Ormand was superior. So, we can have a few more days to treat Sherlyn. Once Ronian knows that you bring
Sherlyn back, he will probably make a fuss."
In fact, the Hacker family had yet to break off the engagement. Sherlyn was James' fiancee, and Russell had no reason to keep
her in his villa.
If Ronian found out, it would be hard to explain.
Also, it was hard to explain Russell and Sherlyn's relationship, even if the Hacker family broke off the engagement.
However, if Sherlyn stayed in Viorin, it would be different. After all, Viola and Sherlyn were friends.
Russell was relatively rational at the moment. He understood Viola and compromised. "Alright... Can I stay with you for a few
days?"
Viola turned to look at Ormand. Ormand was also looking at her. They looked at each other and didn't answer.
Russell felt that it was a bit abrupt. "I won't stay here for free. I can help Ormand do housework and cook. I can also pay the
housing and food expenses ten times the market price.”
Viola burst out laughing. ‘Russell, you must be joking. You're my brother.
You don't have to pay for staying here."
"I certainly have to. Ormand has worked hard to cook and do housework. I have to help him."
Ormand was speechless.
The tension was at ease in the living room. It was basically down about settling Sherlyn.
Then Viola asked, "How is it going with the Hacker family?"
Russell replied seriously, “I gave James a day to think about it. He'll reply tomorrow morning. If nothing goes wrong, it will be
good news."
"That's good."
Viola nodded and heaved a long sigh.
Everything was getting clearer, as if it would be better and better...
Just as Viola was thinking about it, there came a scream from the guest room upstairs.
It was Leia's voice.
Then, Leia shouted for help from upstairs, “Todd, Mr. Hobson, come quickly! She's so scary. I can’t handle it!"
Russell got up and ran upstairs. Viola and Ormand also quickly followed.
As soon as he entered the room, Russell felt a strong smell of blood.
Leia collapsed onto the carpet. The white sheets were dyed red with blood.
Russell looked up. After he saw Sherlyn's actions, Russell's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing seemed to stop.
