As soon as Tiger’s words were spoken, all the guests in the hall were surprised, looking at Beckham and Radley constantly. However, Radley quickly regained his composure, patted Tiger’s shoulder, and laughed out loud.“Mr. Tiger, you know how to joke. The past is just because I was young and impulsive, and as a businessman, I can’t compare it with the secretary. Am I right, Beckham?”This time, everyone’s gaze once again focused on Beckham. However, compared to Radley, Beckham’s expression was much worse. After all, he had no idea about the past between Radley and his father. At this moment, when Radley asked, Beckham felt a bit awkward. Fortunately, Heulwen reacted well, quickly grabbed Beckham’s arm, turned to Radley with a smile, and said.“Mr. Radley, can we put this matter aside for now? If all the guests have arrived, let’s go upstairs and talk together. I also have a lot to reminisce with you.”Radley’s attitude towards Heulwen was much better. After hearing her speak, he didn’
“And you said nothing happened? Seems to me your endurance is still quite poor!”After speaking, Benjamin ignored Tiger’s resentful gaze and slowly walked out of the corridor, then told leisurely.“I saved your life back then. That was my responsibility. As for the grudges among your gang, I don’t want to get involved. If you’re looking for my help, you’ve got the wrong person. I don’t want to get involved in this mess.”Leaving his final words for Tiger, Benjamin quickly walked out of the corridor and headed outside the hotel, where Isabella was waiting. Earlier, their business discussion had gone smoothly, so her mood had improved considerably.However, as soon as she saw Benjamin’s figure slowly approaching, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Her gaze toward him was somewhat complicated.“Where have you been? I couldn’t find you.”After following Isabella and Radley to the VIP room, Benjamin was quickly pulled aside by Tiger for a chat. So Isabella couldn’t find him. Hear
"What's going on here?"At this moment, everyone was highly astonished. No one expected Panther to be injured. Moreover, Panther's knife had just been swung down. However, just as the blade was about a centimeter away from Bernie's body, Panther suddenly clutched his arm and screamed in pain. His knife fell to the ground, and his expression showed sheer terror."Who? Who hit me from behind?"Despite feeling terrified, Panther tried to maintain his composure in front of his subordinates, holding his arm while scanning the area and yelling loudly.Clap! Clap! Clap!In response to Panther's furious roar, a round of sarcastic applause rang out. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the source of the sound, and both Panther and his followers were dumbfounded to see Benjamin slowly approaching."Not bad, not bad at all! You're still standing after being hit by my concealed weapon. That's quite impressive!"As he spoke, Benjamin dragged the bloody, gasping bald man towards Panther and his gr
"Shameless!"Seeing Benjamin's move, the female assassin cursed under her breath. The members of the Panther gang were even more furious. No one thought Benjamin would resort to such a despicable technique when facing a woman."Hmph, shameless or not, as long as I can defeat you, that's enough!"Benjamin ignored the female assassin's cursing and the angry stares of the Panther gang. After all, he didn't have suitable weapons, and the female assassin's skills were not weak. So, Benjamin wouldn't hesitate to use any available tactics to bring her down.Of course, while she cursed, Zale's movements didn't slow down. Just as Benjamin's legs aimed at her chest, Zale swung her two daggers, stabbing straight at Benjamin's knees.Silently exclaiming that this was bad, Benjamin again twisted his body mid-air, kicking Zale's daggers away. However, his attack was also missed.Spotting a weakness, the female assassin drew a thin sword from her waist, aiming for Benjamin's lower abdomen. If struck
The more Andrea spoke, the more agitated she became, causing team leader Gavin’s scalp to tingle. Fortunately, at that moment, a middle-aged man with the rank of colonel on his shoulder entered swiftly from outside. He barely glanced at Benjamin and his people, then focused on Andrea.“Comrade Andrea, your family just called and asked you to come home for a while. Your superiors have approved a month’s leave for you. If you have no matters to hand over, you can finish work now.”Seeing the colonel approaching, Andrea’s expression did not soften. On the contrary, she became even more furious, slamming her hand on the table and shouting.“Why? Why do you have to do this? Those bastards truly deserve to die. I want them all to pay for the mistakes they’ve made. I want an investigation, and I want those wretches brought to justice.”At this point, the city’s public security bureau chief couldn’t help but frown. However, his attitude towards Andrea remained gentle.“Andrea, the chief has d
The following day, Benjamin woke up early. After a deep sleep the night before, he felt refreshed. However, as he left his room and planned to head downstairs, he suddenly overheard a conversation between the Taylor family members.“Isabella, how is Winston doing? I heard he got beaten up a few days ago. Is it true?”Upon hearing the question, Isabella responded: “Yes, it’s true.”Hearing this, Raelynn’s demeanor instantly turned furious, and her voice grew louder.“Those despicable people! How dare they lay a hand on my son-in-law! No, Isabella, you must go with me to the hospital today to visit Winston.”At this point, Isabella’s movements hesitated slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed somewhat. However, after a moment, she nodded in agreement.“Okay, later, I’ll go with Mom to visit him.”Hearing Isabella’s consent, Raelynn’s face became delighted. However, as the sound of Benjamin’s footsteps approached, her expression changed 180 degrees, revealing extreme disdain. Moreover, she e
Seeing Benjamin’s gaze, Isabella’s face momentarily turned red. However, she quickly regained her composure and glared at him.“What are you thinking? I want to treat you to breakfast as a way of thanking you for your help these past few days!”Upon hearing Isabella’s words, Benjamin’s expression became even more puzzled. He hadn’t been thinking anything. He just felt surprised, wondering if Isabella had taken some strange medicine. This was the first time Isabella invited him to a meal, even if it was just breakfast.However, after a while, Benjamin’s face turned sour. Suddenly, Olivia called him, leaving him unsure how to respond.“What’s going on? Who’s calling you at this hour? If you’re busy, you can take me to the office first. Afterward, you can go about your business.”Seemingly noticing Benjamin’s discomfort, Isabella’s voice sounded from behind him. However, her tone conveyed a hint of unfamiliarity. Through the rearview mirror, Benjamin could even see Isabella’s eyebrows sl
"Olivia, where do you want to go now? Do you want to take a walk around the city with me? It's been a long time since I've had the chance to explore the city, and I wonder if anything has changed?!"After finishing breakfast, the two went down to the parking lot. Suddenly, Benjamin made a suggestion that caught Olivia a bit off-guard. However, after briefly pondering, she nodded in agreement."Of course, I don't have anything else to do.""Alright, then get in the car. I'll take you to some interesting places. I can guarantee you've never been to places like these before."As he spoke, Benjamin quickly opened the car door, allowing Olivia to sit in the passenger seat while he took his place behind the wheel. Hearing Benjamin's words, Olivia's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.Olivia was not a native of the city. She had come here to work and stayed in the town for more than ten years. Though this was a considerable amount of time, Olivia hardly ventured out except for work and had few f
