Chapter 225: 0225 Moral Hijacking_1

When David Wood saw Ruffy Smith, a chill ran through his heart.

He had no choice but to get out of the car.

Seeing Ruffy Smith, he forced a smile on his face, "Young Master Smith."

He knew Ruffy Smith’s identity, and he also understood how astonishing his background was, so he had come to understand why Ruffy Smith knew Ellen Young since yesterday.

However, since Ellen Young was able to know the Smith family and thus it could be inferred that her connections were amazing when she was a professor in Hadton.

The man discarded his cigarette and exhaled a ring of smoke to the side, the smile at the corner of his mouth seemed somewhat cold, "Mr. Wood, what brings you to this unsavory place?"

David Wood’s expression stiffened.

Ruffy Smith was obviously provoking him with those words.

After all, the Wood Family once thought that Ellen Young was not respectable enough, which was why they didn’t come to pick her up.

But he was, after all, a man who had weathered many storms, and he quickly calmed himself down, only smiling, "Young Master Smith worries too much. When have I ever said this place is not respectable? Any place where there are people is the same. Now that my granddaughter is here, having been lost and adrift for over twenty years, as her grandfather, I surely should come to receive her personally, not to let her suffer any longer."

Ruffy Smith was no stranger to thick-skinned people, but he felt the Wood family had even thicker skins than his own.

"Oh, you weren’t so eager before. Why the sudden rush to find her?" He sized up David Wood from head to toe, "It seems you’ve learned something. Unfortunately, you’re out of luck, Ellen Young isn’t here."

He delivered these words without a blush or a skip of his heartbeat, perfectly hiding any sign that he might be lying.

Only a smirk, belying his amusement, made others feel uneasy, not daring to step even an inch closer.

"Not here?"

David Wood was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He truly didn’t know whether Ellen Young was around right now.

Ruffy Smith replied lazily, "So Mr. Wood, please return to where you came from. Some things, you shouldn’t persist in. Your Wood Family is not a treasure trove; it’s not a place everyone is eager to rush back to. Your presence here is already overstepping. If my words aren’t clear enough..."

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharpening, emanating a fear-inducing chill, "You have to choose between a granddaughter and a grandson."

David Wood’s face turned pale in an instant.

In the shadows, Damien Frost and his companions were watching with interest and hearing everything clearly.

A member of the Special Force Team didn’t quite understand, "Is this Ruffy Smith overstepping? Miss Young hasn’t come to meet them yet. Why is he intervening?"

Damien Frost shook his head, "You don’t understand. In this case, Miss Young indeed shouldn’t step forward."

He thought for a moment, then explained quietly, "Miss Young certainly has a noble identity, and her reluctance to have any contact with the Wood Family is understandable. However, she is still of Wood blood, and if she were to sever ties too decisively, there would still be those who would judge her. In Sina, filial piety is paramount. Whether Miss Young has been wronged or not, others only see her current success, completely oblivious to any hardships she may have faced. The Wood Family may act shamelessly, but they are, after all, her biological family, and there are many old leaders above who wouldn’t want to witness such a scene."

He fixed his gaze on his brother, "Not to mention anything else, but if David Wood kneels before Miss Young and begs her to return with a shameless face, what do you think Miss Young should do?"

The Special Force Team member was dumbfounded, "He’s still the chairman of the Wood Family. He wouldn’t do something like that, would he?"

Damien Frost replied, "No, when he came here, he was already prepared. He’s very aware that he can’t force Miss Young to return in any way except through a moral bind."
