Benjamin thought Travis was being unreasonable. He already called him before coming here, so why was he still upset?Evelyn threw herself into Travis' arms, not daring to peek her head.Travis patted her back comfortingly. "Wait for me back in the room, all right?" His tone held a hint of gentleness it never had held before.Evelyn nodded. She didn't even dare to look at Benjamin as she trotted back to the room. After she left, Travis glared at Benjamin. "This had better be important!"Benjamin's breath hitched. His mind was in such a mess that he briefly forgot why he came to see him. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered just as Travis was about to lose his patience."Travis, does the reason you haven't gone home these years have anything to do with Grandma?"Travis' expression became darker at the mention of Emma.Benjamin also remembered that Travis hadn't gone back to the Winchester residence during the holidays. He never returned at all, not even for Emma or
Arthur had arranged a marriage for Travis at an early age. Not long after his mother passed away, he decided to pair him with Angela Lockhart, one of the daughters of the Lockhart family.According to rumors, she was a powerful individual. Or rather, she had a powerful mother. Although her mother was Garrett Lockhart's second wife, she was in control of everything in the Lockhart family. Every month, she distributed money to the children of her husband's ex-wife. They even had to bow down to her whims. One could imagine how arrogant Angela had to be under the parentage of such an individual.It was said that she was studying abroad now, but in fact, her mother sent her abroad just for show. In this way, she could prepare to join the Winchesters through marriage.However, Benjamin remembered that Angela wouldn't return until a year later. Since she wasn't in the country, who was Travis marrying tomorrow?"I'll be marrying Evelyn. You've met her. Remember, she'll be your sister-in-
"I-It's because of our sister."Benjamin hurriedly recounted the entire situation to Arthur. He had been so anxious that he had forgotten that Arthur could not suffer from any shocks.Arthur was already quite infuriated as Travis wanted to marry Evelyn. His chest was heaving with anger as Benjamin mentioned the DNA specimens."The specimens were being tampered with?""Yes. I told Grandma and Susan about it when I came back. But Ms. Lopez, grandma's maid, followed me when I sent the specimens for the DNA test. She had even secretly met Susan's driver."Arthur remained silent."I suspect they were the ones who had tampered with the specimens," Benjamin hurriedly added. He was really going to lose it. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the family.This single incident had utterly shattered his perception of the family over the years.Arthur looked toward Benjamin. Everything had happened too suddenly. What Benjamin had told him was even more shocking to him than Travis' ma
Kathryn hadn't noticed Benjamin's presence at first.They were at the hospital, after all. It had always been normal for ambulances to pick up and drop off patients at the hospital. Nobody would've paid much attention to it.Yet, she was momentarily stunned when she saw Benjamin. "You …"Chris had noticed Benjamin's presence as well. He lowered his gaze and coldly stared at Benjamin's hand, which was holding Kathryn's wrist at the moment."Kathryn, you have to come with me now." Benjamin was anxious.Kathryn couldn't understand what Benjamin had just said. Was something wrong with his mind? There was nothing between them at all. What did he mean by asking her to follow him at this moment?Kathryn's gaze fell upon the stretcher, which was already being pushed into the hospital. She wondered if Benjamin was trying to calm down his family member who was seriously ill. It was extremely ridiculous. Had Benjamin been pestering her not only because of Susan but also for his own fami
Chris knew exactly what Kathryn was thinking. "Why should I believe him?""Okay, then." Kathryn was still anxious.She still had to worry about Jessica's matter. She'd probably kill herself if Benjamin kept pestering her.…The Winchesters weren't the only ones who were in a mess at the moment. Markus was extremely perturbed as well.He had stubbornly waited for Tally at Johnson Group for the entire day, but Tally hadn't returned to the company at all. Henry had also just reported to him that Tally had taken the 2:00 pm flight to Montiwood with Victor.Markus couldn't believe that Tally had gone to Montiwood with Victor. She had already gone to Yonder Canyon with him last time.Henry looked at Markus, slightly frightened. "I guess Ms. Johnson is determined not to return the piece of land to us."They had been trying every way to contact Tally ever since the transfer of ownership was completed. Her phone was unreachable. She was nowhere to be found as well.It was clear what he
Tally was troubled when she noticed Victor only wore a black shirt underneath."Aren't you cold?""Men normally have higher body temperatures. Let's go." Victor was actually feeling cold as well.Montiwood was located close to the snowy mountain areas. There was a significant temperature difference between day and night. It could even achieve a sub-zero temperature at night.Tally quickened her pace to keep up with Victor. She couldn't help but rub her cold hands together as she got into the car. She mumbled, "Why on Earth did you come here?"Victor glanced at her and pinched her reddened nose affectionately. "Make a guess.""I can't figure it out."It was impossible for Tally to figure out what a person like Victor would do in such a desolate place. Yet, she had to admit that quite a number of people had visited Montiwood even though the tourist season had ended. Their flight was fully booked just now.However, Tally thought that Victor didn't seem like someone who would enj
Couldn't she just reject him right away? Tally didn't think that it was appropriate.After all, she had begged him for help back then. It would be ridiculous for her to reject him now.Yet, agreeing to his request didn't seem right now either.Tally had always believed that her relationship with Victor was only based on their agreement. She had helped him stop the Glenns from urging him to get married, while Victor helped her settle the threat she received from Chris.However, Victor was telling her to forget about the agreement and was asking her if she wanted to start dating seriously now.Tally couldn't really react to what was going on.Victor softly chuckled when he noticed how silly Tally looked. "You're not oblivious to Markus' feelings for you, are you?"Tally was furious. Why did Victor suddenly have to mention Markus in a situation like this? She was instantly sullen.Victor chuckled again when he saw how Tally's face had fallen. "He's a nasty person indeed, but that
Markus was irritated as well."Is there anything else? I'm going to leave now if there's nothing else." He was reluctant to say anything more. He was extremely furious by just thinking about how Tally had followed Victor to Montiwood alone."I don't think you should go," Byron said."Byron!""I would have chosen Victor as well, if I were a woman."Markus was speechless. He was already in a bad mood. His face completely darkened when he heard what Byron had just said.He wondered if he was really his brother. He couldn't believe what he had just said. Did Byron have no idea what kind of a person Victor was?Byron met Markus' dark gaze and immediately understood his thoughts. He sneered, "Look at what you've done ever since you returned from Fernland. Look at what Victor had done as well."Being of sound mind, obviously she didn't choose you."An observer like Byron was very aware of what was going on. Yet, Markus was infuriated. "What have I done? I've arranged a team of sp
