A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 944

Marcel walked out of the house with a gloomy face and went to his car.

He called someone and spoke into the phone, “Mr Newman, I am Marcel Hopkins, let’s meet!”

Benjamin, who was slightly stunned on the other side, asked, “What is the matter that Captain Hopkins has to make an appointment with me personally?”

“Let’s meet!” Marcel said without much explanation.

“Fine! Tell me the address!”

“YS Club!” Marcel said.

“No problem!” Benjamin agreed very quickly.

Within a short time, Marcel’s car drove to YS Club.

In the bar, Marcel saw Benjamin, who seemed to have been there for a long time with a glass of brandy in his hand which he was only taking a sip. Benjamin just raised his eyebrows and he didn’t even get up when he saw Marcel striding in.

The dim light didn’t hide Marcel’s aura, but rather made him release an indescribable coolness.

He walked across to the sofa where Benjamin was sitting and looked at him condescendingly with unfamiliar emotions tumbling under his eyes.

Benjamin just smiled at him playfully as he didn’t seem to care about Marcel’s arrival. “Please sit down, Captain!”

Marcel sat down opposite him and looked at him.

“What do you want to drink?” Benjamin asked.

“Nothing!” Marcel said as he didn’t like drunk driving, moreover, he was alert to the things in the bar.

Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “Such a stingy cop like you who comes to YS will definitely make it a loss! Alright, Captain Hopkins, what are you looking for?”

“A private matter!” Marcel said.

Benjamin raised his eyebrows again, “Hum? What is the personal matter? I wonder what kind of personal matter I have with Captain Hopkins?”

Marcel examined Benjamin, the man opposite him who was twenty-seven years old, two years younger than him, was actually the illegitimate son of his father, Nate and Martha Newman. It was also the proof of his father’s betrayal of his mother!

It was only when Marcel investigated Benjamin’s background the day before yesterday that he knew that this man was his half-brother!

Originally he didn’t know that his name was Benjamin, he only knew that his mother’s name was Martha and he had never checked the rest.

After checking, he found out that Benjamin had actually been in detention because of a fight and his father went to bail him out personally before sending him to England to study!

Looking at the person in front of him, Marcel spoke bluntly, “I think you have already known my identity! I also know that you are the illegitimate child of Nate and Martha! You’re innocent, but you’re the proof that Nate betrayed his wife and Martha interfered in other people’s marriages!”

Benjamin frowned faintly upon hearing this. “Hah! You are a police officer but not a judge! And only a judge can convict people!”

Marcel smiled faintly. “It’s not just the judge who can convict but there’s also the words of the public! The judges only convict people who have violated the law but they can’t bind people who are morally deficient! You’re innocent, but you’re about to be dragged into this vortex! I don’t need to do anything to you as I believe you and your mother have been suffered and tortured by moral enough over the years, yet, you have had a hard time living in disarray, so there is no need for me to judge!”

Benjamin laughed lightly and seemed rather disdainful. “Just tell me your purpose directly!”

“Good!” Marcel liked people who made things direct and easy and Benjamin was very straightforward. He then spoke directly to him, “I hope you won’t go back to the Hopkins Group when Nate wants you to do so!”

“Why?” Benjamin asked back unhurriedly.

Marcel smiled suddenly, “Because I am the largest shareholder of the Hopkins Group!”

Benjamin laughed along with him with extra pleasure, not knowing what Marcel had said that made him happy and after a long time, he smiled and said, “Hum, this is a good reason! But, why should I listen to you? I might not go if you hadn’t come to me, but since you have talked to me today and I am eager to go instead!”

“I know you are a very rebellious person!” Marcel smiled faintly and seemed to be confident. “There is nothing much to say, take care!”

After saying, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Benjamin suddenly stood up and stopped his way, his eyes were sharp and peaceful that stared into Marcel’s eyes and he said in a deep voice, “Make it clearly before you go, what do you come for? do you want me to go or not?”

Saying that he didn’t want Benjamin to go to the Hopkins Group, but then saying that he knew he was a rebel, what exactly did Marcel mean?

Benjamin stared at him with cold eyes, not intending to let him go.

“The literal meaning!” Marcel wasn’t going to make any further explanation.

“Do you actually want me to go?” Benjamin asked uncertainly.

Without further explanation, Marcel crossed over him, went around from one side and walked away.

It took no more than five minutes from his arrival to leave the bar.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Marcel’s departing back. He took a sip of the wine, yet, his eyes were dark and uncertain.

Marcel received another phone call again when he just walked out of the bar.

Marcel didn’t seem really want to answer the phone after glancing it but the phone rang persistently.

He went back to the car and answered the phone. “Mum!”

Marcel’s mother called and before he could speak, he heard his mother crying before cursing loudly, “Marcel, the bastard Nate wants to get his bastard son back to the company and give him all the company in the future!”

Marcel gave a “hum” and didn’t answer.

“What right does your father have?”

“Mum, if you are not reconciled, you can go to him! Whether it is a big fight or a divorce, it’s up to you, instead of crying and moaning at me!” Marcel said.

“Marcel!” Marcel’s mother shouted out hurtfully.

Marcel rubbed his eyebrows and spoke to the phone, “You should have divorced him twenty five years ago, but you didn’t choose to get a divorce! So since you’ve already chosen to live with him, shouldn’t you stop complaining?”
