MasukBrad was stunned for a moment. Had he said something wrong? Why did this person suddenly flip on him?
"Why?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.
Benjamin picked up his phone, his face expressionless, and said, "Call my wife."
Brad was momentarily speechless. He lazily stood up, placed the documents on the coffee table, and then teased, "She's not your wife."
Benjamin, silent, lowered his head without saying anything.
Brad, unsure of how to deal with t
Lewis looked at Gabrielle, who remained silent, waiting for him to decide.Lewis's eyes were slightly hazy, laced with a hint of drunkenness, though it would likely dissipate after a short walk.He knew Gabrielle wanted to go, unwilling to return home and be alone with him. Yet, a mischievous thought took root in his mind; he wanted her to return and feel disgusted. "We're going home. You guys go ahead."The faint hope Gabrielle held instantly dissolved into calm acceptance. She reluctantly released Amanda's hand, forcing a smile. "Amanda, I'll come see you and Hannah tomorrow."Amanda saw the sorrow in her eyes, helpless to offer more. "Okay! Take good care of yourself."Amanda cast a cool, assessing glance at Lewis.Lewis offered a nonchalant smile. "Amanda, don't worry. I wouldn't dream of mistreating my own wife."In everyday life, he wouldn't stoop so low, but in bed… that was another matter entirely.However, Amanda's gaze was so clear and perceptive that he felt compelled to ex
Tony laughed mockingly, asking, “Then what do you think I should do? Pay to bail Ellis out?”“Do you think Benjamin would let me bail her out? Didn’t you hear what she said herself? She was so vicious she even wanted to kill the four children. I think she’s gone mad, daring to say such things in front of Benjamin.”Thinking of his own stupid daughter, he felt like he was going mad himself.He then glared at the mother and son, warning them, “I’m warning you, don’t do anything these next few days. Our Reed family will be declared bankrupt at most by the day after tomorrow. I’ve hidden some private money. We’ll have a chance to rise again in the future. But if you two get arrested, or if I get arrested, we’re finished for life.”Sebastian and Theresa knew he was telling the truth.Both mother and son were incredibly shocked.They knew the family's situation wasn’t good, but they hadn’t expected it to reach the point of bankruptcy.“Dad…”“Shut up! This time, it was Benjamin who plotted
Tony’s heart jumped when he suddenly heard Benjamin's voice.Benjamin strode to Amanda’s side, his tall figure shielding her in his arms as he looked at the family of three opposite him, his gaze sharp and piercing."B...Benjamin, I know Ellis came to cause trouble today. We didn’t manage her well. But she's sick now, can you give her a break?"That damned thing, he originally didn't want to interfere, but his wife was making a scene at home, crying and carrying on. He had no choice but to follow her here.Benjamin’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at him, “Mr. Reed still has the mind to worry about this? You're hardly secure yourself; who are you trying to protect?”His icy tone carried no emotion, causing Tony’s heart to clench, a pain that nearly suffocated him.“So, you two are just as vicious, harming my daughter and now trying to harm the Reed family! Amanda, you little bastard nobody wanted since you were a child! If you don't release Ellis today, I'll fight you!”
Benjamin looked at her pale little face, with its exquisite features and delicate skin. He smiled tenderly, "I'm taking you on a date. Gilbert is back; he can take care of Hannah."Amanda turned to look at her daughter, who was already awake, waving her little hands in the air and babbling happily, entertaining herself.She put away her designs and said, "Let's go. I'm not in a great mood anyway."Ellis's affair had affected her emotions somewhat.She couldn't focus on drawing the designs. Even the drawings she had concentrated on earlier weren't to her liking.Benjamin turned and found her clothes and a hat, then carried Hannah downstairs.Gilbert walked over and took Hannah into his arms, his face full of affection."Sis, you and Benjamin go have fun. I'll take care of Hannah. Mom and Dad will be back soon, too."Amanda said, "Okay! Make 90 milliliters of formula for Hannah later. I'll be back after a little while.""Hehe..." Gilbert looked at Hannah's adorable little face, his voic
Benjamin’s voice dripped with sarcasm: “I wouldn’t touch you even when you drugged me, that shows how disgusting you are. You're not even worthy of mentioning my wife's name. Get out of here.”Tony had been arrogant for too long. In less than three days, his company would be bankrupt.Ellis looked at the man's merciless gaze, but she didn't give up. She felt that she hadn't explained herself clearly, and that's why she missed Benjamin.She should have been like this earlier, boldly expressing her love.Otherwise, she would really miss Benjamin."Benjamin, I love you too! I love you more than Amanda does. I can also give you children. Be with me, okay?"Her eyes were obsessed as she looked at Benjamin's handsome face.Benjamin, however, held Amanda in his arms, avoiding Ellis with disgust.Amanda: "..."How could there be someone so shameless?And this person was her cousin.She actually ran to her house to steal her husband."Heh..." Amanda suddenly chuckled softly, "Ellis, running to
Benjamin looked at her bewildered eyes, a teasing smile playing on his lips, his voice alluring and ambiguous, "Amanda, what are you talking about?"This silly expression is so adorable.Amanda continued to stare at him quietly, still not comprehending.Benjamin could only sigh helplessly, whispering two sentences in her ear.Amanda was stunned, he couldn't possibly mean *that*.The image of him holding Ruby flashed through her mind, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes dangerously, "So, you couldn't wait to hold Ruby because you couldn't hold back anymore?"Benjamin: ??He chuckled in exasperation. What kind of twisted logic was that? He clearly didn't mean that, how did it become something so different coming from her mouth?"Amanda, what are you thinking? If I really couldn't hold back, I wouldn't hold back with you, I would just pounce on you directly.""You're friends with Lewis, when you guys hang out, doesn't that include playing with women?"Amanda was angry, inexplicably so, a
Benjamin had no strength left to worry about Tara. His own world had vanished—his wife was gone.He remained silent, his hollow gaze fixed on the dark, rushing waters of the river. He prayed this was all a nightmare. He desperately hoped that the woman he had hurt and loved so deeply hadn’t met wit
Seeing this, Benjamin immediately shielded Amanda in his arms.All the wine spilled onto Benjamin's body.When the crowd saw it, the entire venue fell silent.Who was this? It was Benjamin! This person dared to do such a thing!Coincidentally, Benjamin smelled the scent of lilies.Amanda smelled it
Howard smiled gently and said nothing.“I’m taking Fanny out to clear her head,” Amanda told him.He shot her a grateful look. “Thanks.”After the two women left, Benjamin sat down.Howard’s smile turned bittersweet. “I envy you, Benjamin. Your old man’s stubborn as granite, yet he hand-picked Aman
The troll boss saw the police and was furious, his eyes rolling back. Why was it that no one found him the previous times, but this time he was tracked down?He wanted to run but couldn't, so he resigned himself to being handcuffed.Tod pursued relentlessly, finally feeling satisfied when he saw th
