Did Harlet say the Winchester family? So, Susan had to choose between the Winchester family and her shares. Right now, Benjamin was only letting her pick one.Susan's heart ached when she thought of this. She never expected things between her and the Winchester family to reach this point.Seeing that Susan was silent, Harlet continued, "Susan, if you stay in this family, you'll have a place in Harborlean. You know that, right?"Susan remained silent. Of course, she knew that. But so what? When she thought of the profits those shares brought her yearly, she was unwilling to hand them over. But then, she remembered how cruel Benjamin was to her."Do I really have to give my shares away?""You saw how Benjamin is willing to go against Grandma because of you. Can you bear to see Grandma criticized at such an old age?"Susan remained silent. Once Harlet raised this point, she found herself unable to voice any further objections. Susan couldn't bring herself to protest. Since Emm
After dinner, Benjamin helped Kathryn take care of the baby. He didn't need to do so, but he loved his nephew very much, and the baby liked to be carried by him."As expected of our familial bonds, the baby's smiling in my arms."Kathryn was speechless. He sounded as if he was showing off.Kathryn and Chris could only see their son at night, so they wanted to play with him when they came home. But now, Benjamin was there, fighting for the baby's attention as well. He was truly a nuisance.While Benjamin played with the baby, his phone vibrated. He quickly handed the baby to Kathryn, then turned around to answer the phone. "Hello?"Kathryn had no idea what the phone call was about, but she saw Benjamin relaxing instantly. Benjamin said on the phone, "Okay, I'll head home immediately."After that, he hung up the phone. Then, he turned to look at Kathryn. "I'm heading out for a while. I'll be back in an hour."Kathryn was speechless. If he wanted to leave, he could just go. He didn
Harlet followed Benjamin out. "Benjamin.""What?""We won't see those reports anymore tomorrow, right?" Harlet asked breathlessly.In the past two days, those reports had almost overwhelmed them. Since Susan had signed the equity transfer agreement, it meant that everything was over, right?Benjamin turned around, sneering, "That depends on how Grandma handles this."Hearing this, Harlet felt his mind went blank. "W-What do you mean by that?"Since Benjamin wanted to see how Emma handled this, did he also want Emma's shares?Thinking of this, Harlet became gloomy. "A-Are you crazy?"Benjamin immediately left, ignoring Harlet's question.Harlet stood rooted on the spot, petrified. What on earth was Benjamin doing? Did he want his entire family to make it up to Kathryn for her hardships over the years?They didn't even cause her hardships, so why did they have to make it up to her? Even if they had to do it, they could just let her return to the family, and everything would be
"Thank you, Ben," Kathryn thanked. She thought Benjamin had lived up to his name as her brother. However, too many things had happened, and she had to admit that his intense methods were somewhat effective.Benjamin's heart melted when he heard her call him by his nickname, a sign that she had acknowledged him as her brother. "Good! You'll have more shares in two days!"Chris and Kathryn were speechless.Chris glanced at Benjamin on instinct. He had to admit that he admired how he went to great lengths just to hear Kathryn acknowledge him as her brother. He was like a natural disaster, ruining the Winchester family in his rage.Chris still didn't know how Benjamin tricked Harlet into giving his shares, and now, he had forced Susan to give away her shares as well.As long as someone in the Winchester family had treated Kathryn badly, Benjamin would do everything to make it up to her with their possessions. In particular, Benjamin couldn't bear to see Susan do this to Kathryn, so he
Kathryn was Benjamin's sister, after all. He thought she looked adorable in any way, even though she was tall. Benjamin believed it must be a trait she got from the Winchesters."Why did you wake up so early? You should have enough sleep, or you'll be aging fast."Benjamin was aware of a lot of things. Kathryn couldn't help but wonder what he used to do when he had stayed overseas. She was surprised that he was so knowledgeable.She rubbed her eyes and replied, "I'm going to the hospital today. Jessica's having her surgery.""Jessica?""Yeah." Kathryn nodded.Benjamin was actually very grateful for Jessica. He found out how important Jessica was in Kathryn's life as he investigated Kathryn's childhood.Noel used to take care of Kathryn back then. Yet, as she was old, she couldn't take care of Kathryn properly most of the time. It was Jessica who had been secretly helping them behind Wendy's back.Considering how nice she was, Benjamin thought it was a shame that she was Krist
Emma hung up the call immediately after.Harlet immediately approached her. "Grandma."Susan was also looking at Emma worriedly. She wasn't able to say anything at the moment. Tears kept falling from her cheeks."You've lost your mind!" Emma was gritting her teeth.She was well aware of how important the shares were. They wouldn't have to worry about anything as long as Winchester Group remained prosperous.Yet, Benjamin had taken all the shares away from them. He was serious when he said he would take everything away.He didn't only take back the shares which belonged to Kathryn. He had even taken away all of their shares."Benjamin wouldn't stop making a fuss about it. We're just worried about you," Harlet said. He added, "Just give it to Benjamin if he wants it.""You bastard! Are you this stupid? What else do you know besides playing?" Emma was furious.Harlet fell silent. Susan walked toward her as well. "Grandma, stop scolding Harlet. He really did it for you.""You
Jessica entered the operating room. It felt as if she was venturing into the jaws of death. The collective anxiety of those waiting outside was palpable.Krista's gaze was fixed on the operation room's doors. She hardly blinked, staring with unwavering intensity. Nobody knew where Byron went. He had been talking with the doctor but had disappeared after the doctors entered the operating room.Kathryn silently waited.Upon arriving at the hospital, Janet brought her some food. "Mrs. Albert, Mr. Albert insists that you have something to eat."She tried to convince Kathryn to eat, using Chris as a point of persuasion. She was sure Kathryn wasn't in a state to consume anything then.Chris was really worried about her.Kathryn glanced at Janet and shook her head. She rejected. "I don't wanna eat.""We've no idea how long the surgery will take. There's still a lot to handle once it's over."During such critical moments, the patient could be grappling with both mental and physical
Krista couldn't fathom the fear that must have consumed Kelly. Overwhelmed by the recollection of her actions, she couldn't bear it any longer.Tears streamed down her face as she broke into sobs. Unable to utter a single word, she covered her face, trembling with the weight of her remorse.Kathryn said coldly, "You are lucky Jessica's health isn't well right now. I'll be telling her everything once she recovers. I doubt she'll forgive you, and you might find yourself facing jail."Krista was a mother whom Jessica had never known. Kelly, on the other hand, was her child. It was obvious who was more important to Jessica. Kelly was more than just a person to Jessica; she was literally Jessica's life. Krista knew she had harmed someone Jessica deeply cared for, and forgiveness seemed unlikely.Krista trembled even more intensely upon hearing Kathryn's words. "I won't resist if she truly wants to send me to jail. I deserve to be punished like that."Krista was willing to pay for her
