Chapter 350 Protecting My Wife, A Duty Beyond Question
Pearl was confused. "Disagreement?"
Paige, with her back to Pearl, said, "The pinnacle of world wealth, such a position of infinite honor and glory, who would want to share it?"
Pearl understood immediately. "That's right. In the past, the five major families banded together to create a wealth myth. Later, they also cannibalized each other, persecuting for profit, even going so far as to kill entire families and their affiliates. Perhaps now, standing together at this peak, the Hamilton family and the Russell family really don't get along! After all, as long as you defeat your opponent, you can become the only one. This temptation is irresistible!"
Paige turned around, her face showing a few signs of certainty. "So, their cooperation isn't absolutely solid. Maybe they want to replace each other with a weaker partner!"
Suddenly, Paige found a suitable position for Xanthe Ellison.
She smiled lightly and said. "It looks like we need to speed up. It's time to remove Andrew as an obstacle."
Pearl nodded, "We've collected almost all the evidence we need. We're just waiting for the right moment to deal with Andrew directly."
Paige said, "It's late, let's rest. Tomorrow is a new day."
Having determined the direction, Paige didn't want to waste time.
Pearl replied, "Okay, I'll get you some essential oil aromatherapy."
Pearl knew that Paige had been sleeping poorly since coming out of Northwind.
Without external help, it was even harder for her to fall asleep.
However, Paige refused. "No need, tonight, I think I should be able to sleep well."
When people faced pressure and difficulties, insomnia was a normal reaction. Paige was no exception, but she had one difference from others.
The rebound after hitting rock bottom would be more powerful for her than for ordinary people.
She might have hit an emotional low, but Raymond was deeply ingrained in her blood and bones.
The feeling of waking up every night and not being able to embrace the one she loved was something Paige didn't want to experience.
That night, Paige had Julian place a large sofa in her bedroom.
Sleeping on a sofa much narrower than a bed, Paige slept through the night.
Because on the sofa, she couldn't turn over or stretch out her arms to embrace.
When Raymond's plane landed in Arcadia, Paige greeted the first rays of dawn by walking to her bedroom window.
For her, this was a new test and a new beginning.
At the Universe Group's Arcadia branch, early in the morning, a financial report quietly lay in the inboxes of all senior leaders.
So, when everyone woke up and checked their emails, they were all shocked.
Meanwhile, in Paige's mansion, Pearl replaced the coffee with milk and brought it to Paige. "The email has been sent for a quarter of an hour. I believe we will soon see a major upheaval within the Universe Group."
Paige took the cup from Pearl and sipped it. "The game starts now!"
Pearl smiled, "Andrew won't go down without a fight. There's still a tough battle ahead."
Paige said, "Let him raise funds first and fill the group's financial gap. I don't want to take over and have to cover his debts."
After speaking, Paige finished her milk.
Pearl replied, "Over the years, he really treated the group as his own. The group's money has been misappropriated to this extent."
Paige said, "Let's get ready. When the group starts to fall apart, it's time for us to act."
Pearl nodded, "Yes, everything is almost ready. But once we show up at the Universe Group, our whereabouts will be completely exposed."
Being unable to hide their whereabouts was inevitable.
Paige just needed some transitional time to fully build her safety defenses.
Now, whether it was the psychological defense or the security defense, both were already in place.
In this vast Arcadia, every member of the Carnegie family was more familiar with it than she was.
So, she came early and prepared early, which would always be beneficial to her.
On Raymond's side, a grand convoy drove directly into the Carnegie Estate.
Raymond had lived here for several years before. This time, he still chose the largest mansion, even though it was far from the center of Arcadia, it was still the Carnegie family's property in Arcadia.
Everything was still the same as before. The only regret was that last time, when he came with Paige to trade for Luna's antidote, he didn't have the chance to bring Paige to stay.
This time, he still couldn't bring Paige along.
After landing, Raymond didn't rest for a moment. He went straight to the study as soon as he got home.
Paige was still fighting alone over there; how could he rest?
Charles, carrying a large box of documents, entered the study, panting as he placed the documents on Raymond's desk. "Mr. Carnegie, here are the documents you requested."
Raymond glanced at Charles casually. "Panting from carrying these documents? How weak are you? You need to exercise."
Charles, inexplicably despised, was immediately unhappy.
Who had as much energy as Raymond!
He had been so busy for days that he barely had time to rest, and he was still working. Yet, Raymond called him weak?
Charles asked, "Mr. Carnegie, we're already in Arcadia. What's the use of just looking at these documents instead of finding Mrs. Carnegie? Will looking at documents bring Mrs. Carnegie back?"
Sure enough, Raymond's expression visibly worsened.
He threw the documents in his hand directly at Charles. "Do you need to say that? Useless guy, I told you to find her whereabouts, and there's still no news. How dare you mock me here, courting death?"
Charles, covering his head, quickly fled.
Raymond sat down and began to carefully study the documents at hand.
These were all the information he could currently get about the Universe Group.
Andrew had long written his ambition on his face, tightly controlling the management of the Universe Group's Arcadia branch.
Now that Paige was here, she would undoubtedly pull Andrew down from this position.
No matter how capable Paige was, Andrew had been entrenched in this position for years and had even wanted to bring Hawke Corporation into the fold.
Now that Raymond was in Arcadia, he had to ensure that Andrew had no chance to harm Paige.
So, Raymond planned to read all these documents within a day.
After all, protecting Paige was his unshirkable duty!
