Chapter 3019
Benjamin understood that everyone had come back today because of Everett's situation.
"These issues can't shake me anymore," he reflected, knowing that each person must take responsibility fortheir actions.
"Okay, we understand," Nicole responded.
"You can go now. I'd like to be alone for a while," Benjamin indicated to Nicole and Jared.
"Grandpa..." Nicole looked at Benjamin with some concern.
"It's fine, go ahead," Benjamin reassured her with a wave of his hand.
Hesitating, Nicole bit her lip and then said, "I'll have the butler bring up some tea."
She was uneasy about leaving her grandfather alone and thought it best to have the butler keep him company.
Jared patted Nicole's shoulder, "Let's go."
As Nicole left the study, Jared paused, turning to Benjamin," Grandpa, I will protect her. She won't come to any harm."
Benjamin nodded in approval, "Good, I believe you."
Jared left the study, his eyes reflecting a deep resolve. He could tell that Benjamin was more worried about Nicole.
After leaving the study, Nicole and Jared went downstairs.
"Where's Grandpa?" Daniel asked, noticing Benjamin hadn't come down.
"He said he wanted to be alone for a while," Nicole replied, then turned to the butler, "Please take a cup of tea to Grandpa."
"Yes," the butler agreed, preparing to do so.
Lulu asked Nicole with some concern, "Is Grandpa okay?"
"He's fine," Nicole shook her head, reassuring everyone, " Let's all head back for now."
"Alright," everyone agreed, though they were still a bit worried. At this time, leaving seemed the only option.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here," Dillon assured everyone as they prepared to leave.
