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
Benjamin scowled over the phone.Harlet and Susan were equally speechless.They were unsure what Benjamin wanted to talk to Harlet about.Benjamin was angry, but he didn't leave immediately. Now, he was asking to talk to Harlet. It seemed important.Harlet replied, "Okay, I'm coming!"He wasn't happy with Benjamin's attitude. However, he didn't dare go against his brother.He turned to leave after hanging up.But, Susan grabbed his wrist. "Harlet.""Benjamin is looking for me. I am going to meet him.""Are you abandoning me too?" Susan said painfully.Her eyes looked pitiful. Harlet's heart ached tremendously.He patted her back to comfort her and said, "Don't worry. I won't."He could empathize with how fearful Susan was since the family was arguing about whether she should stay.Susan nodded compliantly. "Okay, you go."Harlet nodded and went out the door."Susan didn't know what Benjamin wanted to talk to Harlet about.But, her gut told her Benjamin must have discove
Yet, Harlet hadn't figured it out at this point. Once he signed this agreement, he would continue to suffer financially if he didn't cut ties with Susan.Harlet pleaded, "Do we have to take things this far?""Are you going to sign it?""I …""If you're not signing it, get lost!"After all, Benjamin had his ways of squeezing Harlet dry of his money.He started exerting his dominance on money matters. It was only a matter of time before he would take everything back.Previously, he had extended an olive branch to Susan.It was a shame Susan didn't appreciate him extending the olive branch.Harlet asked, "Are you planning to transfer these to Kat?""What else would it be? Do you think I care about these things?"Harlet was at a loss for words. He agreed to it. He didn't have that many shares within the company anyway.However, it was greedy of Benjamin to want these minuscule shares for Kathryn.However, since it was for Kathryn, he complied. He considered it as his gift from
The baby didn't even cry once.Kathryn and Chris were rendered speechless.That little traitor!Perhaps it was the power of a blood relative.Benjamin touched the baby's forehead and said, "This won't do. We need to make his fever go away as soon as possible.""He has a fever patch and has taken his medication," Kathryn said.There was a doctor and nanny in Sunshine Bay.The nanny should know enough about these things.Yet, Benjamin touched the baby's hands and feet and looked at Kathryn, "Who asked you to remove the baby's socks?""He has a fever, so it was to dissipate the heat.""That's nonsense! Give me the baby's socks." Benjamin carried the baby to the sofa.He took a blanket and swaddled the baby with it.Kathryn objected, "You can't do that. The doctor said not to swaddle the baby.""Is the doctor even qualified to be one? Does he even know what he is doing? How is the baby's body supposed to dissipate heat? His hands and feet are cold."Kathryn said in surprise,
