Watching Ruth Dawn leave, William Cole found himself in a dilemma.
Today was already the end of the month, and tomorrow would be the first day of the next month, meaning the day after tomorrow Ruth was set to fly to Europe.
Minnie Wright came over and said to William Cole, "You go."
William was stunned. "Ah?"
"You want me to go?"
Minnie nodded. "Of course, you must go. If you don't, Thirteen Hall will have a hard time getting out of this predicament."
"Given our current situation, only the Dawn family can help us."
"Ruth still has feelings for you, I see it clearly, crystal clear, but I also know your attitude towards Ruth, and that there's no longer any possibility between you two."
"It is precisely for this reason that I am at ease sending you to Europe," Minnie said as she took William's hand with a look of determination, "William, please go. For this family, for everyone, for Thirteen Hall, for our daughter."
