“With a food crash, Henry’s mind exploded like fireworks. He quickly pressed the buzzer, calling for the doctor. When the doctor arrived, the diagnosis was clear. Her spine was broken.
“AhrTM Hannah’s scream echoed through the hospital room again
“She just sat up straight for a moment, but her back snapped right then and there.
“The pain made her lose consciousness, her eyes rolling back. Henry stood frozen, staring at the room, a chill creeping over him. Everything felt strange and unsettling, like something was wrong but he couldn’t figure out what.
“What’s going on! Why has the Bennett family been so unlucky lately? Henry wondered.
I have to go find Oliver.” Henry said, clearly shaken.
“Henry’s ribs were fractured, and his body hurt badly, but compared to Caspian and Hannah, his injuries were minor.
“If things kept going this way, the members of the Bennett family might all end up dead.
sense of vague fear settled over Henry, and he found himself completely unsettled, unsure of what to do next.
“Mom, I’m going out for a bit,” Henry said, handing everything over to the doctor before walking out without looking back.
“As he went downstairs, he spotted a tall figure leaning casually against the wall. The man had a cigarette between his fingers, taking a long, slow drag, his sharp eyes squinting as he exhaled.
***Hello, Mr. Lark,” the hospital director approached respectfully, greeting the man.
*Henry instinctively paused, his gaze falling on the man.
“Orson pursed his lips and gave a slight smile. He flicked the ash from his cigarette with casual case before responding in a low voice. “Hi, I c Try to check things out

*For example, those two gossiping nurses had been acting on Orson’s orders, and now, the director conveniently passing by and chatting with Orson in front of Henry was all pan of the plan.
***Sure. I’ll find some time to come give a lecture,” Orson said softly
“The director glanced at Henry not far off, then checked his watch and said, “Alright, I’ll go ab
ahead and head to my meeting”
“Okay,” Orson said, taking another long drag from his cigarette before crushing it out and tossing it in the trash. He then started walking toward the exit

limping from the injuries
“Upon hearing the frantic footsteps, Orson’s lips curled into a knowing smile, and he quickened his pace. Henry was still lim Odalys had caused, making it difficult for him to keep up.
Mr. Lark!” Henry called, his voice hoarse with panic.
“Sure enough, Orson stopped and turned, casting a puzzled glance at him. “Did you call me?”
“Breathing heavily, Henry approached quickly. When he finally stood in front of Orson, he realized how insignificant his previous arrogance was compared to the real power before him.
“Yes. Mr. Lark, I apologize for disturbing you. I’m Henry from Bennett Entertainment. I contacted you through Finnian’s phone before,” Henry quickly added, trying to use his position to gain favor.
“Ah.

seemed to think for a moment, then responded with a tone of realization
“What Henry hadn’t expected was that Orson had been deliberately waiting here for him, trying to reel him in.
“Yes, Mr. Lark, are you available? We need to talk,” Henry said, his voice full of respect.

“To be honest, that land is no longer in my hands, Orson said, secaning almost sympathetic, standing there in front of Henry with a slightly troubled expression.

His next words made Henry’s heart sink.
The Lark family and the Stewart family are old family friends. I’m sure you’ve heard of the Stewart family. They’re incredibly wealthy, with deep pockets Orson continued, his tone calm but heavy with meaning.
“The Stewart family has a lot of money and resources. All the land, properties, anything that makes money, the Stewart family has a share he
added
“The more Henry heard, the worse he fel
It was well–known that the Stewart family was rich. Henry knew that too. But not everyone could get close to the Stewart family.
“Orson spoke quietly. “I heard Mr. Stewart got married a few days ago. Word is, it was a marriage with a purpose. After my father found out, he called me this morning, hinting that the Lark family should give a gift.
**To demonstrate the Lark family’s regard for our relationship with the Stewart family. I directly gave that land to Mrs. Stewart this morning.”
“It’s the wife Percival just married. Her name’s Odalys, I believe.”
“A thunderous sound rang in Henry’s ears, and it felt like he had been struck by lightning.
“His whole body trembled. He never expected that Odalys had managed to land such a fortune. The land Henry had worked so hard to obtain was just handed over to her by the Lark family.
This can’t be true. No way! Henry thought to himself
“Orson continued murmuring, “Mr. Stewart’s marriage is a big deal, something worth celebrating. That land was only worth about 300 million dollars, not a huge sum. That’s why my dad had me come here.
“This hospital is worth a lot though. Its valuation is in the billions, maybe more. I was planning to give it to her too, but I’m not sure if she’d want
“If she doesn’t, I’ll just check at home to see if there’s cash lying around in the family vault. I could give her a few hundred million dollars in cash,
“Forget it, I’ll just send her sane jewelry. Jewelry doesn’t take up much
space
Orson seemned bothered because he found it roblesome to choose which gilt he should offer.
“But hearing these, Henry was stunned. He could believe how much the Lark family valued Odalys. What shocked him more was that it was Sophia who had willingly given away this opportunity.

“They had all thought that Percival was near death and that Sophia would be a widow. Now, everything was turning out completely differently.
Henry thought to himself. We lost. If we had known this, we never would have let Odalys marry Sophia in the first place. If Sophis had married Percival, not only would she have gotten that land but look at all these gifts from the Lark family, over 10 million dollars!
“He’s even planning to give her the hospital, cash, or gold bars!
“Mr. Lark, isn’t this a little too much? I heard Mr. Stewart isn’t in great health right now?” Henry asked in a low voice, suppressing the shock and fear inside. In truth, he was trying to gather information.
“Orson chuckled lightly. “In noble families, what matters most is the heir”
“She’s already married, so she’ll probably get pregnant soon. That means the Stewart family will have descendants. Once she has a baby, all of the Stewart family’s wealth will be hers.
**I’m sending some gifts now, cozying up to her. Once I’ve built a strong relationship with the Stewart family, there will be plenty of benefits.” With that, Onion waved his hand and started to leave.
