My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 622

How arrogant!

The elder was furious but also panicked and nervous with a pale face.

The meeting had decided to have Benjamin as the heir, but a lot happened unexpectedly since Ernst had been back. What’s worse, Benjamin was now in danger, so if he could be the heir was in question.

Considering Benjamin’s current status, if Stanford really killed him, the Turner family would condemn him but wouldn’t take revenge on him.

After all, the Fraser family was too important to the Turner family, so the latter would turn a blind eye rather than blaming Stanford directly.

But then Benjamin would die in vain.

And Ernest would win it all and be the only heir left as he wished.

They had offended and ostracized Ernest this way. If he finally took the power, how could he let them live?

The elder thought quickly and made a decision determinedly.

He waved his hand and uttered in a hurry, “Mr. Fraser, please don’t! Let’s have a good talk. If … Benjamin did anything wrong, we would never cover him up.”

Under such circumstances, the first thing was to save Benjamin.

“Yes, Mr. Fraser, please don’t be impulsive.”

“Let’s talk about this. Please put down the knife first.”

The other elders joined in the persuasion with more friendly attitude.

In fact, Stanford didn’t mean to take Benjamin’s life from the beginning, so he withdrew the knife casually without any hesitation.

But he still held the knife in his hand with the edge downward, blood dripping from the edge drop by drop.

The blood gleamed in the light.

Seeing what he did, the Turner family members breathed a sigh of relief but still remained alert.

Benjamin’s life was at the mercy of Stanford.

Stanford looked at the group in front of him with coldness and hostility in his eyes.

He sneered, “Well, so what’s your explanation?”

He kept pressing them.

The elder with silver hair was just relieved, but he was frightened again.

He gave a deep frown and looked at Benjamin with mixed feelings.

“Benjamin, you really kidnapped Ms. Fraser? It’s you who set up the wedding and forced her to there?”

“No, no!”

Benjamin denied in a rough voice without any thinking.

He looked up directly at the elder anxiously, “I didn’t kidnap Florence, I, I just ….”

He hesitated in speaking, trying anxiously to find a perfect excuse.

The elder was panicked at Benjamin’s word and demanded with anxiety, “What? What on earth happened? As long as you tell the truth, the Turner family will do justice to you.”

On hearing what he said, Benjamin seemed to see hope and he seized the chance immediately.

His eyes were sharpened abruptly and he reached out his injured hand pointing at Ernest.

“It’s him! Ernest Hawkins set up everything. He colluded with Florence Fraser to ruin my reputation! They caught me and interrogated me by torturing me. They forced me to give up my right inheritance!”

He blamed everything on Ernest in a hoarse and lunatic voice.
