Even though Halle had never been close to Benjamin-she only saw him once a year-his sudden death still left her mind completely blank.
But strangely, she didn’t feel like crying. She didn’t even know what she was supposed to feel.
After all, Benjamin was her biological father. If she didn’t cry, it would make her seem cold and heartless.
But she really couldn’t cry. There just wasn’t much emotion there.
When Halle got the call about Benjamin’s death, she reacted as if she had received a work assignment. Calm and composed, she rushed to the hospital to see him one last time.
Benjamin’s current wife was already his third. He also had three other children. They were all in the crying their hearts out. Only Halle stood there quietly, watching the scene with a calm face.

The last time she saw Benjamin was on New Year’s Day. After that, she only called him a few times.
She remembered that day clearly. It had been nothing special. They weren’t close, so there was nothing warm to say. Watching him get along so well with his other kids made her feel uncomfortable. All she could think about was how to leave as soon as possible.

Halle had known these people for years. She understood exactly what they were like. So, when she first heard about Benjamin’s sudden death, her mind went blank for a moment-but right after that, she contacted his trusted assistant and brought in a lawyer. She handled all of this on her way to the hospital.
These fools had been competing with her since they were kids, but none of them could ever beat her. Now that Benjamin was gone, someone had to take charge of the family. And there was no better choice than Halle.

She also thought that maybe the reason she couldn’t cry was because she was too busy-busy stabilizing everything and handling Benjamin’s funeral. She didn’t have time to feel, and she couldn’t allow herself to.
A few relatives tried to cause trouble, but Halle shut them down quickly. Now that Benjamin was gone, everyone had to follow her lead.

On the day Benjamin was about to be buried, her mother, Amelia Kinsman, arrived.
She wore a black dress, with an elegant white flower pinned to her chest.
Halle saw Amelia about as often as she saw Benjamin.
In her memory, Amelia had always been perfectly put together, no matter the occasion. But today, she looked a little worn out.
She didn’t seem in good shape. It looked like she hadn’t even had time to dress up properly,
Halle led her inside.
When Amelia lit a candle for Benjamin, tears began to fall from her eyes.
Benjamin and Amelia had never really had a marriage. From the start, it had all been an act. They lived separate lives outside and seemed completely indifferent to each other. They had been divorced for seven or eight years. And yet, Amelia was crying now.
At first, Halle thought Amelia was pretending. But when she saw the look in her eyes, she immediately understood-Amelia was truly sad.
For some reason, Amelia’s tears hit Halle hard.
All the emotions she had been holding back over the past few days suddenly rushe crashing over her.
Her tears began to fall uncontrollably.
