“Say it! Why do you show up in the security footage of Caesar’s house?”
Back to the partial hall from the yard, Joseph asked Benjamin directly about the old things before he can take a relief.
Half mouth ago, Joseph went to visit him in the Military Hospital for this thing specially, so he happened to know the relationship between himself and Benjamin and Rebekah Beckham. Now the misunderstanding was cleared up, but there was no other new clue about Caesar’s death.
With a pause of having tea, Hayden subconsciously took a look at Benjamin, with unknown panic.
“Don’t you suspect that I killed Caesar?”
Instead of a reply, Benjamin asked Joseph.
Joseph looked in a plain face.
“The innocent is innocent. If you don’t kill him, you just make it clear why you went back to the old town for those days and turned up at Caesar’s house.”
The air was dense for the moment.
The new identity of his younger brother didn’t make Joseph be politer to Benjamin, but he was more eager to know whether his little brother had something to do with Caesar’s death or not.
“Well, I have to admit that I went there for a thing with the request of Viola.”
The voice of Benjamin rang in the house, breaking the ice, which also made Hayden serious.
Was he going to tell all the stories, even about the Noah’s background and the things in the past?
“Viola Kidman?” With a changed face, angers showed up in Joseph’s eyes, “What did she request you to investigate?”
“Noah’s background.” With a plain tone, Benjamin’s face was calm. “Viola wanted to know who is Noah’s blood mother, so she pointed me to investigate. From the tracks that Caesar left the Beckham family, I deducted that it has something with that you found a surrogate mother, and all the clues refer to Lanxi Town.”
Hayden held the tea cup tightly, with a pale face.
From the corner of the eyes, Joseph saw the odd look of Hayden, and frowned invisibly.
“That year, there was something wrong with the surrogate mother. I figured out all the truth and found the woman who gave the birth of your baby. Brother, would you like to know who she is?”
Benjamin suddenly asked.
It’s quiet in the living room.
Joseph turned to look at Hayden, to see her being upset. After the silence for a while, he declined.
“No, go on with Caesar’s death.”
With a surprised face, Hayden looked at Joseph’s side face, with unspoken feelings inside.
He was worried about her, so he declined to know the truth.
Benjamin gave a glance at Hayden, with a complicated look in his eyes. The truth was just in front of them, but no one wanted the truth to be revealed. Perhaps the colossal accident would cause a good marriage. But it will be a different story if Benjamin told the truth here. It’s better that they can be frank to each other and have a talk about the past.
