Chapter 305 Wolfishly Ambitious
Even a fool could tell that it was none other than the Lorimer family behind it all.
Upon hearing the news, Casimir hurriedly made his way to the Goodridge residence.

Harriet pleaded with him, “Casimir, you need to find a way to help Waverly! She’s your fiancée, so you can’t just stand by and watch her go to prison!”
Casimir frowned. “Didn’t Mr. Goodridge already bail her out? How did she end up back in there?”
Alaric looked visibly distressed, heaving a heavy sigh before he finally said, “Casimir, you protected Waverly at all costs at Tiffany’s birthday party. You’ve always been bolder than me. Can you think of a way to bail Waverly out with the least possible consequences? Once we bail her out, I’ll send her abroad immediately. I wouldn’t let Tiffany have another chance to mess with her.”
Upon hearing these words, a serious expression took over Casimir’s face.
Alaric truly is a sly old fox, isn’t he? Instead of stepping in to help his own daughter, he had conveniently tossed the problem onto me! Waverly is merely my fiancée, not my wife. Even if she is my lawfully wedded wife, everyone has to fend for themselves in times of great adversity. Surely, as a member of the Sutherland family, it isn’t my responsibility to step in and save her!
He wore a conflicted expression and began, “Mr. Goodridge, ever since our last confrontation, my influence within Sutherland Group has significantly diminished. Initially, I was overseeing several projects that were in collaboration with Lorimer Group. However, after that incident, my position as the person in charge had been vetoed by several shareholders. I really wish I could help Waverly. It would be great if I still had the confidence I once had…”
Casimir was overwhelmed by a profound sense of helplessness.
While expressing his strong desire to assist Waverly, he was also able to voice his own difficulties.
More importantly, his inability to help Waverly was closely tied to Alaric’s past reckless actions, where he would harm himself greatly just to deliver a message.
Upon detecting the undertone of reproach in Casimir’s words, Samuel immediately retorted in annoyance, “We should be focusing on finding a way to save Wavy instead of wasting time here trying to avoid responsibility!”
With a stern expression, Alaric said, “You can’t blame me for that confrontation! Had you not insisted on choosing Raylee and breaking off your engagement with Wavy, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to suppress you!”
Upon hearing Raylee’s name, Harriet seemed to be struck by a revelation and exclaimed, “That’s right! We can seek Ray–Ray’s help to save Waverly!”
“How can Ray–Ray save Waverly? She had nothing to do with this whole affair. Besides, how would she even be able to save Waverly?” Casimir asked, his face full of confusion.
Harriet hastily reminded them, “Have you all forgotten? At the charity sale, Ray–Ray and Mr. Foucault were utterly engrossed with each other. My friend informed me that Ray–Ray ended up getting into Mr. Foucault’s car after the banquet concluded that night. A single man and a single woman in a car together?

seeking Mr. Foucault’s help through Ray–Ray! Mr. Foucault is the third generation heir of the Malk royal family, after all. His family is so rich that its wealth could rival a nation, and their power is formidable! If he’d be willing to step in, he’d surely intimidate the Lorimer family, giving us the chance to rescue Wavy!”
Samuel furrowed his brows, “Is what you’re saying true? Did Raylee really get together with a stranger that quickly? How could she be so casual about this?”
Alaric said confidently, “That’s not the main issue here, the point is Mr. Foucault’s capabilities! Quick, call Ray–Ray! Appeal to her emotions and reason with her, then ask her to do us this favor! If she’s unwilling, then we’ll use the safe as leverage against her! She really wants her grandmother’s safe, right? I refuse to believe I can’t get a hold on her!”
Regardless of whether it was in the past or in the future, he had never taken this young lady seriously.
“On it!” Harriet agreed hastily.
Observing the members of the Goodridge family and how their faces couldn’t hide the evident scheming, Casimir furrowed his brows.
As it turned out, he and his mother were not the only ones who saw the significance of this relationship.
Even the people from the Goodridge family were keeping a close eye on the progression of Raylee’s relationship with Leonardo.
As expected, no one in the Goodridge family was decent.
They were the greedy type that constantly wanted more.
While Alaric was marrying off his own daughter to the Sutherland family, he was also exploiting the value of his adopted daughter. To say he was wolfishly ambitious wouldn’t be an overstatement.
Meanwhile, Raylee was recuperating in the eighth mansion of Royal Court with the masked man unwaveringly staying by her side.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
Upon seeing an unfamiliar number, the masked man helped her decline the call.
As a result, this unknown number kept calling repeatedly. Irritated, he answered the phone and asked, “Who is this?”
“Hello, I’m Raylee’s mother. I need to speak to my daughter. Could you please put her on the line?”
