Benjamin was a meticulous person. The items in the drawer were neatly arranged, but Janie did not find what she wanted.
She opened the second drawer and did not find it as well.
After that, she turned her head to the drawer of the side table.
There was a plastic pepper shaker inside.
“That’s it.”
She knew the pepper shaker contained Worryfree.
She took the bottle, stuffed it in her handbag, and left the office.
“I left some things on Mr. York’s desk,” Janie said to Joey. “Please inform him about that when he comes back later.”
“Yes, Ms. Eastwood,” Joey replied.
Janie left the building.
Meanwhile, Benjamin and Waylon entered the basement parking lot.
Waylon stepped into his car angrily. Benjamin grabbed his wrist. “Waylon, why are you so stubborn?”
Waylon pushed his hand away and said, “This is not up for argument. You and Emma should calm down and don’t do anything rash. If I find any of you doing anything behind my back, I’ll break your legs!”
“…”
Waylon started the car and left.
Benjamin could only go back upstairs.
Joey said to him, “Ms. Eastwood was here earlier. She placed some things on your desk.”
“Mm.” Benjamin nodded sullenly.
As long as Emmeline’s problem was not solved, he could not be at ease.
He went into the office and noticed a document folder on his desk. Next to it was a pair of car keys.
Benjamin recognized the keys to be those for the sports car he gave her when she was discharged from the hospital.
What’s going on? Benjamin thought as he inspected the document folder. Just like he guessed, inside it was the deed to the mansion and a prepaid credit card.
“Hahah!” Benjamin laughed out of anger, exasperated that Janie had returned everything to him.
Fine, whatever. I’m not in the mood to talk to her now.
He opened the drawer and threw the items inside. Then, he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes.
