Chapter 607
In the past, many of the other families from all three tiers of sub-families have tried to retaliate against the tyranny of Veronica and her mother, but not only have they failed time and time again, but they've also ended up punished and losing way more than they bargained for.This is one of the tactical attacks, out of countless, that were deployed by Veronica and her parents to conquer and control the other families. Therefore, the audience listening to Benjamin felt their hearts lurch at his question.Does one have to bow to the ground before the rest of the family just to show sincerity? Or was that a lie that Veronica cooked up to humiliate him publicly?Obviously, the answer is no. Veronica was indeed lying to Benjamin, but no one dared to utter a word against this, as they were too scared to go against that 1st-tier family. Also, they weren't fond of Benjamin either, so they felt no incentive to help this newcomer.Benjamin waited a couple of seconds.“Should I take your si
Chapter 606
Benjamin could easily see right through Veronica's true intention, but so could April, Olivia, and Max.Max tapped into the psychic link where he could privately converse with the others.[She's not even good at being discreet about her intention to further alienate you from everyone else, Ben.]Olivia glanced at her boyfriend before her brief gaze shifted to Benjamin.[What are you gonna do about this, dude? Perhaps, you should give in a bit to their demand for respect.]April immediately interjected into the telepathic conversation between all four of them.[That's not a good idea at all. From this point forward, the best course of action for Ben is to stay his ground. If he gives off any sudden hint of wanting to appease the room, these people will definitely look down on him even more.]Benjamin agreed with April instantly.[You're right, Angel. These people don't understand kindness without a personal benefit. So far, I've interacted with all of them with the right demeanor of a
Chapter 605
The family members had immediately sought out those telepathic blockers to keep their minds safe from the ‘freak’ that the current number one contender for the position of Heir Apparent was bringing to the prime estate with him.It's why April currently can't read their minds. And it's not that she initially wanted to pull this kind of stunt. It was more so because she had already established a telepathic link between herself and her group members, and thus, she could feel the irritating pressure on her telepathic link the second she stepped into this living area. It's only the family members who have these telepathic blockers in them. The Whiteridge soldiers don't.Worried for his girlfriend, Benjamin gently reached out to hold her hand, caressing it slightly.[If it feels too much to bear, I think you should stop.]April smiled warmly at him.[Don't worry, I'm good. As long as I don't force my telepathy into their minds, I won't be affected.]Meanwhile, Veronica began her passive
Chapter 604
Everyone stopped whatever it was they were doing to turn to the main stairways leading down from the upper floor, where there are now more members of the family gazing down at the commotion.Descending from the flight of stairs is none other than Veronica Whiteridge, the former top contender for the Heir Apparent. She looked incredibly gorgeous in the wavy dress she was wearing, as if she were the life of the party. Yet, her eyes gazed down at everyone with a masterfully restrained disdain, but a lot of the family members could see right through her.Behind Veronica are Hannah Whiteridge and Chad Hornet, her mother and father, respectively, also slowly descending with their heads held high and their bags straight.If anyone here didn't know any better, they would have believed without a doubt that this group of three is the big dogs of the prime estate.Nothing about Veronica's demeanor was fake, though. Even the restrained disdain in her eyes still remains authentic. It was obvious
Chapter 603
Nicholas's mother glared at Benjamin.“Are you talking back to me?! Hmph! It's clear that you're a tarnished spawn that was raised outside of the family's law! Otherwise, you would understand the strict demand to regard your elders with respect!”While April, Max, and Olivia were appalled by this woman's clear manipulation of the family's rule to bully their best friend, Benjamin himself wasn't shocked.Benjamin smirked and took a few steps forward, watching as Nicholas instinctively took a step back. He totally ignored the guy, though, instead focusing on his aunt.“Isn't that a violation? You're purposely manipulating the rule to oppress me.”Jennifer rushed over to point her index finger at Benjamin.“How dare you make such an accusation against your aunt?! This is your first time meeting all of us, and instead of being welcoming and polite, you're being senselessly rude to us all!”Benjamin didn't even spare Jennifer a glance as he kept talking to Nicholas's mother.“You claimed
Chapter 602
Benjamin totally ignored Nicholas, walking right past him and April to deal with the cousin near Max and Olivia.Benjamin stopped right next to Francis, speaking with a leveled tone.“Cousin, I'll kindly have to ask you to back off from my friends. Max and Olivia have made it clear that they are not interested in whatever relationship you have to offer.”Francis was a little pissed-off and he took Benjamin's words as a challenge. This made him turn to the guy with his hands in his pockets, staring straight at him in the eyes.“Oh? And what are you gonna do if I don't back off, huh? This is between me, and Miss Olivia over there. So why don't you….”Francis froze suddenly, the rest of his words stuck in his throat as he suddenly felt something invisible press on him on the shoulders. It wasn't anything tangible, but rather, a strong feeling of dominance and oppression that instinctively makes him want to fall down to his knees and cower while bowing before Benjamin.Before this long-l
