Chapter 156
Warren's words enlightened Bennett, and in a moment, he suddenly figured out a lot of things that he had been unable to understand.
For example, that thing happened on that night four years ago. The inexplicable night he had with Catalina!
"Warren, in that case..."
Bennett smiled faintly and said while looking at him, "It may be the case of diamond cut diamond between you and my mom."
"The case of diamond cut diamond?"
Warren shook his head and said, "You look too high on me. It seems that you somewhat have already figured out what happened four years ago. Yes, I admit. It was I who sent you to Catalina's bed four years ago. I know your mother's efforts, so how can I disappoint her? Didn't she want to split you two up? As your brother, I am naturally very happy to help you two be together."
"If you just wanted to help us be together, I really should thank you for that, but it's a pity that... Warren, wasn't it the same for you to kill two birds with one stone when you schemed against Lina and me at first? On the one hand, you could not marry Lina, and you could also make the relationship between Lina and me closer, leaving my mother even more helpless against me and her. On the other hand, once the news that the heir to the Shaffer family slept with his own sister-in-law before the wedding, I, Bennett Shaffer, would certainly be criticized by the public. As the impact of public opinion could be powerful, in order to maintain the reputation of the Shaffer family as well as its market, I could only give up the right to inherit the Shaffer family, and you, Warren, could only accept the right to inherit the Shaffer family even though you were sick. Warren, your plan was really a good one! However, no one had expected that you would meet Claire halfway to succeed, and you didn't expect that you would suddenly fall ill and become a vegetable! In fact, your coma and your crippled legs have nothing to do with Catalina at all! She is only a pawn of you and my mother all along, and she is also the most innocent person in this game! You and my mother both knew she was innocent, but you let her suffer so much pain and remorse for so many years without any reason..."
Bennett snorted, "At last, you are just the same as my mom!"
Warren shook his head lightly but didn't say anything.
He didn't argue for it.
But he knew well that he was different from Carolyn.
If it was not forced by Carolyn, he would not have come to this point now.
Warren said with his hands resting on his senseless legs, "Ben, in my heart, you have always been a brother who deserves to be protected with my life, but..."
His eyebrows twitched slightly. It seemed that he felt a sudden bitterness, but it was quickly withheld. He became calm as before and said, "Although you didn't mean to do harm to me, I get hurt because of you. So, it is fair for me to ask you to repay the debt!"
Warren clenched his fists.
Bennett turned around, looked down at Warren in the wheelchair, and said with a smile, "I am afraid that this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is that I am the most important person to my mom. As the saying goes, when facing an opponent, you have to go for the jugular. Now you are against me just because you want to tell my mom that all her efforts for many years are all in vain! Warren, you did so by doing harm to your opponents both physically and mentally. Your plan is really not bad at all."
Bennett closed his eyes and said, "Let Catalina go! I'll give you whatever you want."
Because Bennett knew that he was the only one who could end this fight, and he was the only one who could let them be completely relieved.
For the fight lasting so many years, he had been stuck between them and felt worse than anyone else.
If he could end it all himself, why not?
Warren looked at his leg for a long time and then said, "What if I don't want to do so?"
Bennett froze for a moment and then lowered his eyebrows, "That won't be up to you."
Sensing that the cell phone in his clothes vibrated a few times, he knew that the plan of Darnell and Vincent had been successful.
Suddenly, the person following Warren lowered his head and reported in his ear.
Warren looked worse and worse and finally shouted, "What!"
He was so anxious that he almost stood up.
Bennett suddenly looked compassionate, "Warren, once a person has a soft underbelly, he will become vulnerable, but at the same time, he will also be particularly strong. I will send Bai Tan to prison in person, as for you... Warren, I will send you abroad to recuperate from your injuries. In the end, I have to thank you. With you kidnapping Catalina, I can fight back openly and honestly. Warren, you lost."
Warren suddenly became agitated, "I didn't! Bennett, I didn't expect you to be so calculating! You!"
He was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood on his chest, and he gradually became unconscious.
Bennett sighed deeply, "Warren, goodbye forever."
Instantly.
Sirens were loud outside, and eye-catching lights were flickering behind Bennett.
Warren finally closed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and tilted his head high.
He was silent with tears on the verge of his eyes.
But in the end, the tears only wet his eyelashes but didn't stream down his face.
***
During these two years, as Catalina worked actively and diligently with a serious attitude, when the deputy editor-in-chief left to give birth to a child, she naturally took up the vacant position and became the most competent assistant to the editor-in-chief Felix.
She was no longer indecisive at work, and she became decisive and skillful now.
In the words of Emery, she now looked like a strong and competent woman.
In May, the acacia flowers were in bloom.
The golden sunlight shone on the ground through the dappled leaves, and the ground was filled with flower clusters, as if it was covered with a thick layer of goose feathers.
It was probably the most beautiful and comfortable season of the year.
Bennett held Catalina's hand and walked on the path in the countryside.
A grand wedding was held on a path through the woods where acacia flowers flew all over the sky.
The guests were all present.
