Benjamin had always led a life of luxury and privilege and this was his first time experiencing the things that happened today. Someone was trying to assassinate him, he was panicked in a moment and he didn’t even know how to respond, so he froze and just stood still.
The woman pounced on him and held him in her arms, and then she put her head on his shoulder and bit his neck with strength.
“Ah!”
Benjamin screamed. When the woman attacked him, she didn’t hold anything in her hand. It was the silver fingernails that she had painted previously which had made him mistake them as something sharp.
She didn’t have a weapon, but she couldn’t reconcile to be abandoned. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to make Benjamin die together with her!
“Help!”
Benjamin was shaking her off from his body due to the pain, but her hands were like the octopus’s tentacles which held him tightly and didn’t let go of him. The blood was coming out from her mouth and it was shocking.
Boyce pulled the woman away after he looked on for a while.
Benjamin covered his neck, “Go to hell, bitch!”
He kicked the woman crazily when he was talking.
No one pitied her. They were all standing beside and watching them. When Boyce felt that it was enough, he asked someone to pull Benjamin away.
“Hold them captive first. There is enough evidence now and we shall wait for the Department of Justice to judge them.” He left after saying this.
Boyce walked to the observation room and Matthew had just come out from the room, so Boyce trotted towards him, “I will arrange the remaining things. He won’t be released in a short while and he will need to spend some years inside.”
Matthew hummed gently.
When Benjamin was caught, he saw Matthew and Boyce and shouted, “You said you will let go of me, didn’t you? Why do you go back on your words? Bastard! And Matthew, I’m your uncle, are you going to be treacherous?”
Boyce said coldly, “Quickly bring him away.”
Soon, Benjamin’s shouts disappeared in the corridor.
Matthew didn’t show any emotion on his face and he looked cold. He gave a sideways glance coldly and took his eyes off the direction, “Settle the thing thoroughly and don’t leave any evidence.”
It was to avoid causing any unnecessary problems.
Boyce said, “Sure.”
Matthew walked and left.
They drove to the villa. There was a car stopping at the entrance. He had seen this car before as it was specially refitted.
Matthew stopped his car and got out of the car, while Charles got out of his car with Tom’s help. When Charles saw Matthew, he nodded gently and said seriously, “I’ve just come from the White City and I’ve heard about it, I should’ve come to the funeral.”
Matthew stood there and he didn’t talk.
Charles had no choice, “Are you unhappy to see me?”
Matthew still didn’t talk.
“This is for your son, help me to give him.” Charles gave him a box which was nicely wrapped, “During the period when I stayed in White City, it seemed like a long time had passed, a lot of things seemed to have happened here.”
Matthew didn’t take the gift from him, he said coldly, “Has Mr. White finished talking?”
Charles smiled, “Is your hostility to me still so strong?”
Matthew didn’t answer him, he turned and walked toward the villa.
The gift in Charles’s hand was still stopping in the midair, but he didn’t take it back awkwardly, he looked at Matthew’s back and said, “I’ve already had a wife, why are you so petty?”
Matthew stopped walking in a moment, he turned and looked at Charles, “I would like to ask you a question.”
“Go ahead.” Charles was surprised that this petty man would have something to ask him.
“What will you do if someone covets your lover?”
Charles said without hesitation, “I will torture the person who covets my lover, then I will kick him.”
Matthew sneered, “I’m having this thought right now.”
Charles was speechless.
“You’re unkind.” Charles facepalmed, he realized that he was tricked, “I’ve come to your home, but you don’t let me go inside and don’t serve me a drink as well, you’re really stingy.”
Matthew ignored him.
Charles laughed at himself, he was just making himself awkward, Matthew was always a petty man and he had never changed.
However, if he were Charles, he wouldn’t be generous too.
Everything in the world could be shared with others, except the love.
He raised his head and looked toward the second floor, his eyes were dark, then he said gently, “Tom, let’s go.”
Tom thought that he shouldn’t have come here.
