Emma was well aware of the potential consequences if Benjamin lost his temper. Recalling recent public opinion, Emma couldn't deny that Benjamin wouldn't care about the family's reputation when he lost control."She doesn't have any emotional connection with us at all. Do you really think this is worth it?""Emotional connection? She didn't grow up in this household. How is she supposed to have an emotional connection with us?""That's right. Susan grew up in our family. Have you forgotten the feelings we've shared all these years? How could you be so indifferent? How could you just abandon her like that?"Emma felt the urge to confront Benjamin physically, but she knew the dangers of dealing with him when he lost his temper. She was genuinely afraid of him in those moments. She realized that if Benjamin insisted on forcibly kicking Susan out of the household, they wouldn't be able to stop him. The only option, at that moment, was to reason with him. Emma pondered and approache
Benjamin turned away, intending to leave the Winchester residence.Everyone in the family panicked as they observed his indifferent and unconcerned figure.Harlet rushed out to catch up with him. "Benjamin! Benjamin, wait!"Benjamin paused and looked back, his eyes filled with coldness as he faced Harlet.While there had been sarcasm in his eyes when confronting Emma earlier, now only icy detachment remained, sending shivers down Harlet's spine.Approaching Benjamin cautiously, Harlet said, "Dad's not doing well, and he wants Susan by his side."Without uttering a word, Benjamin raised his hand and delivered a forceful slap across Harlet's face.Harlet was stunned by his action. Blood filled Harlet's mouth, and he could feel his teeth loosen from the impact.Harlet, in pain, covered his face. He looked at Benjamin resentfully. Benjamin asked, "He doesn't have much time left, does he?""He's our father, after all.""Our mother died because of those two assholes! Why aren't y
Kathryn had believed that she was a person with a great appetite. Her appetite was better than Chris', at least.She was surprised that Benjamin had a better appetite than her.The maid nodded. "You've already had five servings."Benjamin frowned. "Did I have that much?"The maid was stunned. She couldn't believe that Benjamin wasn't aware of it. Kathryn was speechless as well.She thought having five servings of pasta actually sounded outrageous. She wondered if he also had this much food when he was at home.Yet, she thought it wasn't appropriate for someone to have this much food while having meals at someone else's place. She believed normal households wouldn't cook this much food as well.Noticing that the maid remained silent as she was embarrassed, Benjamin eventually placed his utensils on the table and mumbled, "You should prepare more next time.""Alright." The maid nodded.It was then that Benjamin finally looked toward Kathryn.Kathryn, who used to have a good app
Benjamin had left Sunshine Bay after he had finished eating.There wasn't any food left when Chris got back home.It wasn't usual for Chris to get back home in the afternoons. Yet, the maids would always prepare extra food even though he seldom had lunch.Chris was surprised."Do you want to have mine, instead?" Kathryn asked."What happened?"Chris was confused. It wasn't something that had happened at Sunshine Bay before. He wondered if Kathryn's appetite had grown again.The maid instinctively glanced at Kathryn. Kathryn was quite embarrassed as the maid and Chris were both looking at her.Chris even looked at her like she had been eating like a pig.Kathryn had to admit that it was true that she had a good appetite when she wasn't bothered by so many things. Yet, the way Chris was looking at her made her feel resentful.She mumbled. "It was Benjamin who came here to eat. He finished the entire pot of pasta. I just had a small portion of it.""He finished the entire pot o
Yet, Kathryn didn't reject Benjamin's request either.Benjamin sounded so pitiful back then that she felt she would be a sinner if she rejected him."He's coming even though you didn't agree?""Yeah." Kathryn nodded.Chris was speechless. His face completely fell.He thought Benjamin might have been too naive on the matter.After all, Kathryn would have no choice but to face a lot of the problems she was reluctant to deal with that used to remain behind the scenes, especially the matter regarding the Winchesters.The Winchesters weren't causing any trouble for her recently. Yet, things would be different once Benjamin moved to Sunshine Bay.Chris was troubled. He thought he had to ask Travis to keep Benjamin under control. His actions were outrageous.Chris had no idea how much Benjamin missed his sister at the moment.It seemed that Benjamin and Travis had more affection toward their mother. They were old enough to remember what happened back then, after all.Before Charlot
Susan handed Benjamin another glass of water with her bleeding hand when Benjamin finished vomiting."Come on, rinse your mouth." She sounded obedient and restrained.Benjamin lowered her head. He saw her bleeding palm right away and frowned.Susan immediately shoved the glass of water to him as she noticed Benjamin's gaze. She then hid her bleeding palm behind her and said with a resentful voice, "I-I'm fine."Anyone would've felt pity for her.After all, Susan looked fragile at the moment. There was an obvious intention to please him as she was behaving cautiously.She was very aware that it fully depended on Benjamin whether she could stay at the Winchesters or not.Harlet was able to save her from jail. Yet, he actually had no power in the family at all.Emma was old. Nobody knew how long she was able to live.Even though Arthur was defending her as well, his health was getting worse. He might pass away at any time.Benjamin, on the other hand, used to be close to her. He
At this point, Emma couldn't wait to kick Benjamin out of the house.She couldn't take a minute more of that rascal anymore!When Susan saw Emma, she cried even louder, "Grandma!"Emma's head throbbed even more.She walked downstairs and sat opposite Benjamin, glaring at him fiercely. "Tell me what you want!"Benjamin answered, "I have something to announce."Their hearts dropped when they heard Benjamin had something to announce.Harlet instinctively looked at Benjamin.Benjamin raised his gaze and glanced at the three of them. Then, he asked, "So, all of you want Susan to stay?""Susan has to stay in the Winchester residence," Emma said assertively.Benjamin nodded. "Sure, we can do that!"Harlet was silent.Susan and Emma were at a loss for words.Did he just agree to it?However, after that, three of them expected him to take back his word. It was never going to be that simple.As expected, the next moment, Benjamin went upstairs and brought three documents with him.
All she heard was Benjamin's reply, "From the day you burned down Kathryn's building, you were nothing to me.""It wasn't me …""You don't need to deny it. I know full well what you did."His tone was assertive and sharp.It was as if he saw through Susan's thoughts, which made the way Susan's lie even more brusque.Harlet said, "Benjamin, Susan is right. She grew up with us!""Shut your trap!"Benjamin was furious listening to Harlet. He didn't want to hear a word from his little brother.This rascal didn't know what he was up against.Harlet was rendered speechless.He looked at Benjamin in agony. Then, he looked at Susan, who was teary-eyed.Benjamin felt nothing for Susan. However, Harlet's heart was for Susan.Emma's face turned ugly. "I will not sign this!"She knew what the consequences were after signing the equity transfer agreement.She initially planned to give her shares to Susan as part of her dowry. How could she give it to Kathryn?"Yes, the beneficiary of
