Chapter 2710
Benjamin looked at Nicole and said, "Sorry about this.
After giving him a smile, she replied, "Grandpa, please don't say that. I'm fine."
"You can't say that. You're only fine because you've got your wits about you. If something really happened to you, we'd all be heartbroken," Karen remarked dramatically.
In response, Nicole gave her a blank stare without exposing her true intentions. She understood that Karen was just trying to bring Damien's family down, and so, she was determined to not pay any attention to any of these little schemes of hers. After all, they would not have any impact on the situation.
Upon noticing Nicole's silence, Karen began to feel a little embarrassed and could only shut her mouth.
"Grandpa, I'm going home now if there's nothing else," Nicole said.
She was not in the mood to stay here any longer. In fact, she was feeling somewhat tired.
"Go home and get some rest." Benjamin nodded, knowing by the look on her face that some rest would do her good.
"Okay," Nicole replied and walked off with Jared beside her.
The air in the living room became tense and heavy at once. Daniel and Gloria had initially come with the intention of
visiting Benjamin, but now that this had happened, no one was left in a good mood.
"You don't need to stick around. All of you can leave." Benjamin waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave as he was feeling a little depressed too.
After exchanging looks, Daniel and Gloria got up. "Alright, we'll head back now."
"Go on," Benjamin said, his voice deep and low.
