Chapter 484: 0484 Persuade_1

Even if Ruffy were willing, Taylor would never agree.

He allowed Ruffy to come back this time out of respect for the favor Mr. Moore had done for the Smith Family in the past, but it wasn’t a significant obligation.

At most, it was just going through the motions.

Taylor remembered, which showed that he was a grateful person. Everyone knew about Ruffy’s temper; he was a troublemaker, especially in Imperial City, where he was notoriously difficult to manage. Not even Taylor could control him, let alone outsiders.

Last time James Moore came to ask for Taylor’s help, Taylor had already found it outrageous, and Ruffy nearly lost his temper with him afterwards. Fortunately, the troublemaker had recently encountered something that cheered him up a bit, so Taylor would definitely prefer to avoid further complications.

Then Mr. Moore came knocking again.

All Taylor could do was to go through the motions and offer some consolation, but he hadn’t expected the request to be so preposterous.

To have Ruffy spend time accompanying Roxanne Moore?

Taylor didn’t dare let Ruffy go out to meet Mr. Moore, mainly for fear that Ruffy might blurt out something like "get the hell away from me" and infuriate the old man. Yet internally, he couldn’t believe it and thought Mr. Moore must be seriously out of his mind.

Inside, Ruffy was on the phone with Ellen Young, while outside Taylor’s voice sounded as elegant and gentle as ever, "Uncle Moore, there are some things you should be more open-minded about. Your daughter has been dead for many years, and some people, no matter how similar, are not her. Based on her behavior today, do you think your daughter, if she were still alive, would be happy to see her once greatly admired father debase himself so, all for an unreasonable request?"

Mr. James Moore’s elderly eyes seemed to contain tears. Hearing Taylor’s words, his lips trembled, his hand rested on his walking stick, and he turned his head to the side, presumably out of shame.

"I know that..."

But after all, he had raised her, she was the grandchild he treated as his own. James truly didn’t want to see her in that mad state in the hospital, "Just let Ruffy have a look at her, just a look is enough."

He still pleaded as such, and Taylor saw that Mr. Moore was quite stubborn by now, probably getting more and more muddled with age. His lips carried a smile, but he wasn’t willing to say any more unnecessary words.

His voice was still gentle, "Uncle Moore, I am not in charge of this matter. Like I said, Ruffy is Ruffy, I can’t control him. He’s busy with company matters these days and can’t meet you. Please understand."

James could hear the refusal in his voice; if he hadn’t received the news that Ruffy was home, he wouldn’t have come directly to the door.

Just then, Ruffy suddenly came out.

Mr. James Moore became agitated at once, Taylor frowned slightly, but Ruffy curved his lips into a smile and looked at Mr. James Moore, "Mr. Moore, I have someone here who wants to speak with you."

James was taken aback but still asked, "Who?"

Ruffy, holding a cellphone, handed it over to him.

James took it, putting the phone up to his ear, and heard a calm and crisp female voice, "Mr. James Moore, hello, I am Ellen Young."

The name Ellen Young was undoubtedly well-known as soon as it was mentioned.

Mr. James Moore’s pupils contracted, "You..."

Even so, he was aware of this super-genius who had made significant contributions to the country.

Ellen’s voice was cool, but not disrespectful, and she simply stated, "I know you have been troubled recently about your granddaughter’s situation, but my advice for this condition would be to keep it under control and seek treatment promptly. Other approaches might just backfire."
