Chapter 430 A Scam
“His medical report was not found. It’s assumed that Ms. Adams has bribed someone to omit those details. The garbage truck collected all the refuse and headed straight to the waste facility before burning all the disposed items. No one noticed that a child was in the midst…” Ethen choked.
He meant to say that the child must have been treated just like any other trash.
In other words, a precious life was gone, just like that.
The child could have grown up with his adorable brothers and lived a life of abundance. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Benjamin’s face turned grim as viciousness seeped into him. His horrifying gaze sent a cold chill down Ethen’s spine.
Ethen was surprised to see that a fearless and powerful man like Benjamin would suffer in anguish to the extent that his hands started shaking uncontrollably.
It took him an eternity to dig out the child’s photo.
Due to the long-distance shot from the surveillance cameras, the child’s face could only be seen vaguely.
Benjamin stared at it without batting an eyelid, exuding deep sorrows and grief.
It was a dreadful sight for Ethen to bear. He turned around and wiped his tears off.
This is too despondent to see.
Suddenly, he recalled the phone call that he received when he was on the way to Benjamin’s.
He thought about updating Benjamin to cheer him up. However, there were too many scam calls received recently, and none of them carried any weight. Hence, he dismissed the idea.
He could not bring himself to give Benjamin false hope. It would only crush the man more when he realized that it was all a lie.
After dinner, Arissa was surprised that both Benjamin and Ethen were still in the study. Out of curiosity, she took a peep at the door.
“Go and play by yourselves, okay Sweethearts?”
The five children were delighted to obey their mother’s instructions. Otherwise, they would usually stick around her like glue.
Arissa went upstairs and continued her investigation for her missing child.
No matter how challenging it is, I will find you. So wait for me, my sweet child!
Meanwhile, Benjamin commanded, “Get rid of all this information.”
Ethen looked at him and acknowledged in a low voice, “Understood.”
Benjamin did not want Arissa to discover the sad news, knowing that she would not be able to accept it.
