As Caspian spoke, he made another phone call.
“The number you have dialed is powered on Casplan was slightly irritated by the automated voice.
Turning around to look at the luxurious Bennett Villa, his unease almost reached its peak.
The people who came to make trouble and throw eggs outside made a mess of the place and were eventually asked to leave by management. However, these people had caused enough disruption and were not prepared to stay any longer.

When the Bennett family was prosperous, everyone respected thems; now that the Bennett family was in trouble, everyone took pleasure in their
downfall.
Friends who were once close refused to see them now. It seemed like all their former connections had vanished.
When one was successful, everyone acted friendly. However, when one was down and out, one would become a nobody.
Thave a feeling something happened to Henry, Caspian said suddenly.
He slumped down on the grass with a dejected look on his face, exhaustion evident in his eyes. He gripped his phone tightly, his mind replaying

Allas was forced to retreat step by step until she stopped half a step away from him.
“You think you have the right to question me? If he’s unhappy with me, tell him to divorce me. Stop trying to use me to cozy up to the Simpson family,” Edie scoffed.
With that, she turned around leisurely and walked towards the Bennett Villa.

Atlas stared at her in fear, feeling himself lanting more the closer she gut.
“How could this be?” Atlas panicked. At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Sophia.
