With a loud “smack, she planted a firm kiss on his cheek
Hannah, still supported by Atlas due to her injured leg, stood frozen as she watched her long–absent husband being hugged by Sophia.
The two of them were so intimately close. They resembled long–separated lovers
“You you! Windsor, how could you even go after her!” Hannah nearly fainted from rage.
She could never have imagined that the once–glorious Bennett family would end up like this.
The family had such a tangled mess of relationships. Her husband had returned only to abandon the family and protect Sophia.
Hannah, who had always been there for the Bennett family, now felt utterly ridiculous. No one took her seriously.
Windsor said coldly. “You know she is our daughter, yet you still pushed her to the brink. Hannah, years ago, you defied my parents to climb into my bed. I have tolerated you for far too long?
He added. “While I was
was away, you tormented my daughter. It seems you’re not happy being Mrs. Bennett. If that is the case, we can get a divorce. Windsor’s figure, though lean, carried an imposing aura even more pronounced now at fifty than in his younger years.
He shielded Sophia protectively, gently kissed her hair, and comforted her, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Sophia. Daddy is here.”
“You want to divorce me! Windsor, you- Hannah was too enraged to speak.
But Windsor only cast her a cold glance before leading Sophia to the car. He helped her in, ignoring the stunned expressions of the Bennett family members, and drove off without hesitation.
This “Hannah stood in shock.
Atlas stood there, equally dumbfounded.
Memories of overheard sounds outside Sophia’s room replayed in his mind, and a growing sense of unease crept over him, though he didn’t dare think too deeply about it
“Mom, let’s go home first,” Atlas said.
Only Caspian stood rooted to the spot. He remained
silent, quietly observing the scene unfold.
“Cupian, come help me get Mom home,” Atlas said irritably.
He had no idea what was going on or how things had escalated to this point
The Benneu family had always been harmonious, never had an argument like this happen before.
“Mom, it seems Sophia and Dad have been in touch for a while, Judging by his behavior, I think he’s here to protect Sophia, Caspian said carefully.
He wanted nothing to do with the Bennett family’s affairs. Self–preservation was his only concern
Hannah snapped. “That bitch! Her reality show appearances are ruining the Bennett t family name, and now she’s even seduced Windsor

As Atlas helped her to the roadside to hail a cab, Caspian did not follow.
“Caspian, aren’t you coming?” Atlas asked after getting into the car, noticing Caspian hadn’t followed.

He held a cigarette between his fingertips, lightly tapped off the ash, and took a long drag, holding the smoke deep in his lungs until he could hold is no longer and was forced to edale

“Bui as I was leaving the Bennen Villa earlier, I noticed the aura around Sophia. Ever since she had relations with that fake magician. I’ve been able to see changes in her body”
Odalys added. “She’s emanating a particular energy, but it’s tethered to the Bennett family. I suspect she has a relationship with someone within the family, binding her fortune to theirs
Odalys rubbed her fingertips together and let out a low chuckle.
You mean Sophia and Windsor? Percival frowned.
He hadn’t expected this kind of relationship between them. Though wealthy families were known for their complexities, such a relationship was

If Hannah discovered that Sophia had climbed into her husband’s bed, it would drive her mad. But the Benner family’s dynamics really were a
“Earlier. Hannah said she shouldn’t have listened to someone’s advice to adopt Sophia. It seems she’s starting to question that decision. It won’t be long before she turns on whoever was behind it, Percival analyzed.
