Sharp-eyed Jack's gaze pierced towards Sienna, his eyes betraying the complex swirl of emotions in his heart. A sharp pang of jealousy and disappointment churned within him, their intensity threatening to breach the calm facade he struggled to maintain. Despite his efforts to appear composed, the tumultuous waves of emotion inside him were difficult to conceal.His gaze lingered on Sienna, grappling with conflicting feelings—prickling jealousy at her unwitting praise of Benjamin, disappointment in himself for feeling this way, and a deep-seated concern for their mission's integrity. Jack's jaw clenched slightly, his knuckles whitening as he fought to regain control over his turbulent emotions.A flicker of vulnerability flashed across Jack's features before he steadied himself, forcing a neutral expression. He took a deliberate breath, trying to channel his focus back to the task at hand despite the emotional storm raging within him.Jack took a deep breath, his chest rising and falli
Benjamin remained silent, unmoved to say a single word to Sienna, who was gazing at him with hopeful eyes. The odd look Benjamin gave her made Sienna freeze, unable to hide her confusion behind her gaze.Suddenly, Lebron appeared behind Ariana, bursting into laughter upon hearing Sienna's words. Lebron’s laughter filled the room, indicating that he was entertained by Sienna’s remarks. However, his laughter quickly turned into an expression of disgust as he looked at Sienna with disbelief."Ugh, you... rude and disrespectful, and even worse, you're overconfident," said Lebron with a tone full of disgust. His piercing gaze reflected his disapproval of Sienna’s attitude, which he found both disrespectful and overly confident.Lebron, with undeniable doubt, questioned Sienna's ability to lead the company. To him, Sienna’s experience as an idol was insufficient to prove that she had the necessary qualifications in the business world. Lebron dismissed Sienna’s profession as an idol, deeming
"Benjamin, can you move even slower? I mean, it's not like we're having dinner or anything. I'd rather watch the paint dry than wait for you to put the plates on the table!"As his mother-in-law said this, Benjamin looked at the clock on the wall. It was 19:00."Mom, we've got a whole hour before Diane gets back. I promise dinner will be good to go by then," Benjamin replied.Frank reacted, "Linda, my dear wife, where exactly did you find this completely worthless son-in-law? We just asked for a simple dinner, and he managed to turn it into a never-ending ordeal that lasted for over an hour!"Linda responded to her husband in annoyance, "Why are you throwing that question my way? Diane is the one who married this guy, you should be grilling her."Benjamin continued cooking, not feeling the need to listen to all the ramblings.For five years, he had been trained to face this every day. He was already used to it.Not long after, the door opened, and Diane walked in with a tired face.Ho
Benjamin nodded in acknowledgment. "Lebron, it's great to see you again after all these years. Your loyalty still means the world to me."The burly man hunched his back even more, tears that were never seen running down the rough surface of his cheeks."Young Master Frost, I could never betray you. Even if you asked me to wait for a thousand years, I'd do it willingly," Lebron vowed.Benjamin inquired, "And what about the others?""Just like me, Young Master. They are still loyal."Benjamin nodded his head, then immediately gave the order, "If everyone is still loyal, take me to the Frost Mansion in this city."Lebron felt a bit puzzled as Benjamin bypassed the larger and more luxurious mansion in Aristo Heights, inherited from his father. However, as an obedient personal bodyguard, he didn't dare question his young master. "Yes, Young Master Frost. I'll escort you to the branch mansion in Regal Hill. Please follow me."A luxurious limousine pulled up behind Lebron's black SUV. Severa
Benjamin arrived at WellCare Hospital on time in a cheap sedan car owned by one of his attendants.After getting the room number occupied by Mr. Morgan, Benjamin took his suitcase of medical equipment and went straight there.Opening the room door, Benjamin was immediately greeted by Valerie."Benjamin, you finally came."Looking Valerie up and down, Benjamin was stunned.Just like what the people said, Valerie's beauty already beat the angels in the ninth heaven.The girl's skin was as white as milk and as smooth as porcelain. Even mosquitoes would slip if they tried to land on her skin.Her curves were exquisite, like an ancient flower vase molded by a master.Her fingers were slender, long, and supple. Her eyes were ethereal and menacing at the same time. And, her lips would make anyone curious to taste them."Ben?""Oh."Valerie's call managed to wake Benjamin up from his reverie."I can totally help your grandpa get better," Benjamin said, holding up his suitcase. "But first, I g
"You!" James Glenn clenched his teeth until they chattered. "Aren't you afraid of my threats?"Benjamin shrugged, saying, "Honestly, not at all. You're just spouting nonsense, so how could I be afraid? Unless, of course, you can summon a bouncer to throw me out of here."James looked at Benjamin hatefully, but he realized that even with the entire network at his disposal, it was still not enough to allow him to beat Benjamin up in this hospital.James hadn't really saved many important people in Regal Hill and made them indebted to him. He mostly did routine medical check-ups and got paid.Moreover, he didn't possess any miraculous abilities that could save someone from a critical condition.Even as the best doctor in Regal Hill, James Glenn was not well respected by the important people here. Only the lowlifes believed in all his nonsense."Young stranger, you're such a bastard!"When she heard those words from James Glenn's mouth, Valerie's face turned ugly."Sorry, Dr. Glenn, this
Outside the patient room, Valerie chimed in, "Ben, I never got the opportunity to say thank-"Before Valerie could finish her sentence, Benjamin already interrupted, "There is something more important than a thanks word, Valerie."The girl cleared her throat a few times and promptly inquired, "Alright, expressing my thanks is a bit too straightforward. Is there anything else you're looking for or need?""You've got it wrong," Benjamin shook his head. "I've got something more important things to share with you. Your grandfather's condition hasn't fully turned around. Currently, I can only offer initial support. He'll hang on for at least five days, but I'm skeptical about it lasting any longer," Benjamin conveyed.Valerie's face paled. All the joy she had just experienced seemed to evaporate into thin air."Benjamin, I'm begging you, please, extend my grandfather's time!" Valerie sank back, her shoulders trembling as she began to sob. "Five days is too short. Give us at least two weeks
"Me?" Benjamin's face twisted into a cynical expression. "Why point fingers at me? You didn't have some history with your manager here? Weren't you intentionally aiming for his face when the chance came knocking?"James could not stand the insult, so he unceremoniously threw another punch towards Benjamin's face."You fool, never seem to learn from your mistakes!" Benjamin snorted as he adjusted Victor's body once more."Hey, hey, stupid James! Stop your- "BAM!Another fist landed on Victor's face. The bridge of his nose was instantly broken and blood gushed out like a faucet.Victor spits fresh blood from his mouth. Now he was staring at James with rage."You moron! Are you looking for payback?!" Victor roared. "If that's what you want, let's take this outside and settle it like men!"James' hands trembled once more. "Mr. Kane, I swear I didn't mean to! It was this jerk who forced me to hit you in the face."Victor then shifted his gaze towards Benjamin, and instantly he felt a bit
