Chapter 262 He Was Worse Than Beasts
Benjamin called out.
Kenneth turned around, pointing at the piano and smiling faintly, "It looks impressive!"
Under the crystal chandelier, Benjamin's eyes were gentle, filled with a hint of nostalgia. "I bought it when Madelyn and I just got together. It used to be in the apartment, but now it was moved here for Everest's piano lessons!"
He gestured, "Have a seat!"
Kenneth strolled over to the sofa and sat down, gently placing a document on the table.
Benjamin picked it up and opened it.
It was an internal document, about seven to eight pages long, listing Eleanor's major crimes, followed by the prosecution's recommended sentence.
Late at night, Kenneth's voice was low, "Death penalty! It will occur in approximately two months, barring unforeseen circumstances!"
As he spoke, his gaze was deep, and his emotions complex.
He had learned some undisclosed information internally, and now he also knew why Everest managed to survive despite losing so much blood!
He underestimated Benjamin!
When necessary, he could be truly ruthless!
After Benjamin finished reading, he returned the document to Kenneth.
Deep down, he knew that the swift progress of this case had Kenneth's contribution behind it! Although Kenneth and he didn't always see eye to eye, in critical moments, behind closed doors, they were a team.
Benjamin stood up and walked to the bar, retrieving a bottle of wine and two highball glasses with a smile. "Take a drink?"
His implication was to stay here overnight after having a drink.
Kenneth waved his hand.
He glanced upstairs to where Madelyn stood and stood up, patting the wrinkles on his pants with a smile. "No, I have a meeting tomorrow morning!"
Benjamin didn't insist on him staying overnight either.
Kenneth patted his shoulder. "The driver is waiting for me! Ben, have a good time with Madelyn!"
He seemed to think of something when he said these words and furrowed his brow lightly.
In any case, he couldn't let go.
Benjamin understood without words and did not mention Eloise. He escorted Kenneth to the car.
The black Audi drove away slowly.
Benjamin didn't immediately return to the villa. He stood alone in the parking lot, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lowered his head to light it.
The smoke filled the air, blurring his face.
He recalled many memories.
Good and evil, but they would all become part of the past with Eleanor's punishment.
He only smoked one cigarette before turning back.
Madelyn stood at the entrance of the villa, her face softened under the dim lights. Benjamin walked over quickly and embraced her shoulders. "Why did you come out? It's quite cold outside!"
Madelyn held onto his hand.
She slowly interlocked her fingers with his, then gently nestled in his arms.
Benjamin looked down at her, his voice unbelievably gentle. "What's wrong? Are you even more clingy than Everest? Do you want me to hold you?"
Madelyn tightened her grip and whispered, "Benjamin, don't speak. I just want to hold you for a while!"
They embraced silently, doing nothing else!
Benjamin tenderly held her slender waist.
After a while, he leaned down to kiss her. "Call me Ben from now on, alright?"
She made a sound of agreement, behaving exceptionally obedient!
Benjamin felt a surge of heat.
Madelyn was like this. When angry with him, she wouldn't give in, but she became incredibly soft when she was willing to obey. No matter how he played with her, she would never resist!
Usually, he might have acted like a beast.
But tonight, they needed each other's warmth to heal the wounds of the past!
...
On the other side, Kenneth sat in the car.
The driver asked softly, "Mr. Ryan, where do we go now?"
Kenneth closed his eyes and rested.
In his mind, there were moments of pondering over classified projects and... that person!
After a long silence, he hoarsely whispered, "Let's go back to the hotel!"
After the meeting the next day, he would have to return to Vadiff. After all, he was genuinely busy.
He took on that mission a few years ago.
Amid his bustling life, he walked on thin ice, every step precarious!
In public, he was the esteemed Mr. Ryan, commanding respect from everyone. But who knew that behind closed doors, if he wanted to see the girl he liked, he had to find an apartment, like hiding a precious gem in a golden chamber!
Even now, he still remembered their breakup two years ago.
Being someone who always had self-control, he smoked two packs of cigarettes in one night.
He restrained himself from seeing her!
By not seeing her, he wouldn't lose his sanity and wouldn't get caught in love like a naive young man. It had been so long, he thought he had moved on, but he hadn't!
Kenneth couldn't resist it, so he drove alone to see her.
But when he saw her, she wasn't alone.
She was walking out of the cinema with a young and refined man. The cinema was currently showing a famous romance movie, "Ex III."
They had dinner together and went on a date!
It wasn't until nine o'clock at night that the man finally escorted her home!
Kenneth's car was parked not far from the entrance of Clark's mansion. He silently watched the charming couple, feeling a mix of emotions. He realized he was jealous!
If he were younger and didn't have these restraints, he could step out of the car right now and grab that guy by the collar, roaring, "Stay away from my woman!"
But now, he could only stay in the darkness, silently watching!
Eloise got out of the car, watching the man depart.
