“Don’t you think he’s been watching too many melodramatic romance series? Besides, in those shows, the heroine’s revenge is justified. What’s his deal? What gives him the right to say that? Weren’t the old master and Mrs. Bennett good enough to him?”
Autumn nodded, wishing she’d brought a bag of popcorn with her.
Wasn’t this the perfect time to be munching on snacks while listening to gossip?
“He’s always yelling about making other people regret things, but he’s the first one to fall on his face.”
Nina’s face was full of contempt just talking about it.
“That man wasn’t even a Bennett. Out of basic human decency, the old master could have just given him some child support and called it a day. But he’s too kind–hearted. Not only did he pay for Robert Williams to move abroad, but he also gave them a house and a ranch.”
“If they had just managed it properly, they could have lived a great life.”
“Of course, it couldn’t compare to their old lifestyle, but still.”
“They definitely wouldn’t have ended up poor. But guess what? That Robert Williams went back to gambling.”
Nina’s face was filled with disdain. It was obvious she truly loathed the man.
“Some people are just insatiably greedy. He’d already crashed and burned once over this, but he still couldn’t let it go. He not only gambled away his nephew’s support funds, he almost sold the kid.”
“It was only after the old master found out and personally flew abroad to get him that the casino people finally backed off.”
Nina snorted heavily. “Anyone else, after being treated like that, would have had their heart of stone warmed, right? But those two are a pair of ungrateful vipers. They don’t see kindness as kindness. The
it was offered freely, it’s something they’re owed, so they just take it for granted.”
“I almost died of anger when my mom told me about it.”

“If you ask me, the Bennetts are just too nice. That’s what lets people like them get away with murder. If it were me, and someone dared to treat me like that, I’d kick them out on the spot.”
“Let them rot. Shameless people like that deserve to fend for themselves.”
Autumn patted Nina on the chest. “Okay, okay, calm down. It’s all in the past. Don’t ruin your health by getting worked up over it.”
Nina leaned in and snuggled against Autumn. “Aww, I knew you were the best to me, Autumn.”
“Autumn, neither of those two are good people. If they find you, don’t you dare go easy on them. Just slap

them silly.”
“I can’t stand people who are fake, and Robert Williams is the fakest of them all.”
“His nephew learned it all from him. I heard he used to be a pretty outstanding person,
the rails somewhere along the line.”

“He’s so full of himself. He’s way too old to still be thinking he’s some kind of heartthrob.”
“He used his looks to make a bit of a name for himself overseas. I’m guessing he saw how well the Bennetts are doing lately and decided to come back and stir up trouble.”
“You’ll get used to it. We just have to ignore him.”
Autumn nodded.

“I didn’t even know who they were, but your brother and the others are so tense, it made me curious. After hearing you, I guess their methods are just a bit dirty. They probably can’t pull off anything else.”

“That’s not the point, Autumn.”
“It’s the people who pull shady moves behind your back that are the scariest. Nobody‘ people are the absolute worst.”

“My cousin and them aren’t wrong, you know. Safety is what matters most. You should just do what Owen
says.”
Autumn was exasperated. She thought Nina was on her side, but she had switched teams so easily.
“Fine, fine, I get it.”
Nina breathed a sigh of relief when Autumn agreed.
Before they had started talking about Robert Williams and his crew, Nina had genuinely thought Owen’s all–encompassing protection, was a bit over–the–top.
But after recalling the messed–up things those people had done, she felt that being careful was the right call.
After all, you could never predict the depths of human evil.
“Nina, are you guys hiding something from me?”
