Chapter 266 - Don't Lie To Me!

When butler Ruffy still didn't answer. Mr. Gusman approached him and grabbed the collar of his Polo Shirt.

"Answer me! Is my child pregnant ?!" While Mr. Gusman was about to strangle him in anger.

The brothers immediately pulled Butler Ruffy away from their father. They were afraid of what will happen to Butler Ruffy from what their father was doing.

"Dad! Please calm down! How would you get an answer if you are almost strangling him? Please, Dad!" Arman pleaded with his father as he tried to remove his hand from the older man's collar.

"Dad, please let go of butler Ruffy first, so that he could answer your questions." 

Because of what his sons said, Mr. Gusman came back to his sense and offered an apology. 

"Brother, I'm sorry. It was a father's feelings, and I'm just worried about my daughter." He slowly loosens the grip of his hands on Butler Ruffy's collar. Then he walked back and sat on the sofa to listen to what Butler Ruffy has to say.

"Brother, children... If it's not too much to ask, why not let ma'am Ashley the one to tell you. I'm sure she wants to say to it all of you, but she doesn't have a chance to tell it. Please? " Ruffy pleased Mr. Gusman, before looking at Ashley's brothers. 

They didn't give a second thought about it and agreed on Ruffy's wish. Suddenly it feels they're at a funeral and someone died. The whole living room is quiet. The aircon is full blast, and you can that Raffy's sweating cold. 

Luckily Inday entered carrying a tray full of drinks. It's evident in her eyes that she just cried because her eyes were red and swollen. She slowly put the tray on the table and offeřed the drinks. She does not react and can't look straight to anyone while she does it. 

When Inday finished giving drinks, she took the tray and went back to the kitchen like a frog. 

Ariel noticed it. "What's her problem?" He asked, particularly to no one. 

"Don't mind her, and she was just a bit mad that she can't serve ma'am because you're all here. She was just used being with ma'am Ashley every time." Ruffy said, like. It was nothing. 

Arnold took the remote control and find something to watch on the television. While Arman, Arthur, and Mr. Gusman are all thinking deeply

While all the boys were busy thinking in the living room with Ruffy, Tiny arrived from the outside.

While Ruffy and Ashley's family are busy and in chaos, Tiny received a call from the head of the Intelligence group. That's why he immediately left the room and went to find a private place to talk. 

"Everyone, can I have a word with all of you?" Tiny said right after arriving at the living room. 

All of them nod as an answer. Tiny sits down, and Ashley's family and Ruffy followed. 

"I just finished talking to the leader of the intelligence group the helped us. Their headquarters are here in the Philippines, and CEO Go ordered his ten elite bodyguards to come with us." 

"Now, I need to know who's gonna come with us?" Tiny seriously asked them. 

"Wait! I can't understand your question, could you please explain it further?" Ariel asked, confused. 

"Us, too!"Arnel and Arnold said while. They were pointing their finger on each other. 

Ruffy has told Tatay Jessie, Arman, and Arthur on what he knows. It is that they'll be accompanying Ashley to sail in Asia using the yacht owned by Tanaga. 

Mr. Gusman explains the situation to his other three sons. "Sons, Tanaga has been ambushed the other day while going to his office. It's good that your sister is not with him and in different cars." 

"Because Tanaga let more bodyguards accompany your sister rather than himself, your sister was safe. But in such bad luck, Tanaga caught it an accident and his car fell off the cliff." 

"Now, the culprit behind it wasn't still caught, and they might know the relationship between your sister and Tanaga. We're not sure if they know, or it was just a coincidence. But to prevent another accident, Tanaga's grandma ordered Ashley to sail first in the middle of the sea. "

"When the culprit was caught, that was just the time Ashley will come back here, to Tanaga rather stay by his side, if he was still alive." Tatay Jessie sadly said to his sons. 

They're all quiet, and no one talked after they heard what Mr. Gusman said. They didn't know that Ashley and Mrs. Gusman were standing right behind their back and listened to what Mr. Gusman said about Tanaga. 

Ashley's knees trembled, and she got pale. Luckily, she was leaning on her mother. While her knees are shaking, she forced herself to walk and sit on the sofa. Her face was so pale, while no emotion can be seen. 

Her brothers approached him one by one and hugged her at the same time, while no one is speaking. They don't need to talk to let their sister know that they're here, and they will never turn their back on her no matter what happens. 

Minutes past and the whole family were still hugging, while Inday stands by the door of the kitchen. While butler Ruffy and Tiny didn't know that they're crying because of Ashley's sympathy, 

Butler Ruffy thought of leaving the family Gusman with Tiny, Inday, Gemma, and Linda to give the family privacy. 

The four just followed him without any questions. When they were inside the elevator, that was only the time butler Ruffy spoke.

===

Butler Ruffy thought of using that time to go to the hotel's kitchen to inform the chef to prepare food for them. 

Tiny quickly went in a different direction when he came out of the elevator. He didn't even say where he's going, and Ruffy also forgot to ask. They have a separate job to do, so he doesn't mind it that much. 

Butler Ruffy was pondering intensely while strolling towards the kitchen of the hotel. Therefore, he didn't notice that he's about to bump into COO Koji Hanada with President Alden Sanches…
