Chapter 371 Smarter
In the video, Eliza's sad expression and Beau's pale face made the three old people's hearts ache for them.
Hamza and Shreya, who had been teasing each other, stopped talking.
Vincent also frowned.
After a moment of silence, Vincent's cell phone rang. It was Julian who called.
"Uncle Vincent."
As soon as the phone was connected, Julian sighed.
"I know you're not doing quite well abroad, but... I think we still have to let you know."
"Chester didn't want me to tell you Beau's actual condition, nor did he want you to know what kind of plight Eliza has been in..."
"But I think there are things that you should know."
"Beau does not have much time left."
"Eliza is trying to find a way to wake him up."
"Ethan said that if Leah would come to visit Beau and explain everything clearly, and let Beau truly believe that he hadn't done anything wrong, he would have woken up."
"But Leah had jumped off the building and committed suicide yesterday. Now, the only thing that can make Beau hear Leah's words... is Eliza's recording earlier on."
"But that recording was taken away by Kezia."
"Kezia's first condition is for Eliza's friend and husband to divorce and to abandon her career."
"Second... She wanted Chester to dominate all of Beau's assets."
Julian said all these in one breath,
"I know, we are all adults. There are some things that should be resolved by ourselves and we shouldn't bother the elders."
"But now is a matter of life and death..."
"I really can't keep it a secret anymore."
"Uncle, if you still recognize Beau as your son and hope that he can survive..."
"I think that only you can solve this problem by talking to Chester."
Julian's words silenced the living room of the Benton family villa.
Vincent took a deep breath and looked at Shreya and Hamza behind him.
"What do you think?"
Shreya's lips curled up. She changed her friendliness towards Vincent and her lips were filled with coldness. "So, our son-in-law, Beau, is about to die. You and your eldest son have been hiding this from me, right?"
The eyes of Hamza were also cold.
"Vincent, I don't care what the Benton family wants to do, but Beau is our son-in-law. And all these years, whether it is the money he made by helping Valentine's Group or his own Sahil Group's assets, they were all earned by him."
"If you and Chester want to take what belongs to him, the Chapman family won't allow it!"
Shreya nodded. "If you protect Chester, we will definitely protect our son-in-law."
"If we take action at that time, don't blame us for being cruel."
Vincent silently rubbed his glabella.
He had seen how cruel Shreya was.
After all...
No mother would not love her own child.
However, in order to prevent Nyree from using her daughter, Eliza, to threaten her, Shreya could cut off all ties of kinship and put Eliza under Luca's protection for more than twenty years!
She had fought with a crazy woman like Nyree for more than 20 years. Nyree was a psychopath and Shreya was not a good person too!
If he really forced Shreya to do it herself...
Vincent shivered and quickly took out his mobile phone to call the butler.
"Right now, right away!"
"Get me the private plane to Krine. I need to go to Krine to find Chester!"
After that, he turned his head and smiled at Shreya.
"In-laws, do you think... it's okay?"
Shreya smiled faintly.
"Since Mr. Benton has mobilized a private plane..."
"Then let's go together. It just so happens that after I wake up, Eliza hasn't seen me."
"I'll go and see for myself this time how Mr. Benton is going to deal with your family."
"And also..."
"To give Eliza a big gift."
Vincent narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept quiet.
An hour later, the plane took off from the Sage City airport.
At this moment, in a five-star hotel in Krine, Kezia was leaning on the sofa, sipping her freshly brewed honey fragrant oolong tea while glancing at the woman beside her.
"Your tea making skills are still as good as before."
Roseane curled her lips, picked up the teapot, and poured her another cup. "If it weren't for you, I would have forgotten that I used to like making tea."
After that, she put down the teapot and looked up at Kezia indifferently.
"You've already drank the tea I made. You've already humiliated me. Can we talk?"
Kezia chuckled and gracefully put down the cup while glancing at Roseane.
"Why do you have to be so mean?"
"Did I humiliate you? I was just reminiscing and talking about what you had done for me."
"When I told you that I had a terminal illness, I remembered all the things you did for me."
"In fact, you didn't lose much either."
"If you hadn't applied for an agency to treat me, how could you have become Roseane, the movie queen?"
"From this perspective... you should thank me."
She faintly blinked at Roseane.
"Don't you think so?"
Roseane's hands clenched into fists.
She put on a fake smile as she looked at Kezia's face. "Yes."
"Thanks to you, I had everything."
"So when you want to destroy me now, I didn't refuse, did I?"
Her words finally made Kezia laugh in satisfaction.
"Roseane, you should have known that you are not as good as me."
"Destiny is unfair. It gave you a happy family, a loving parents and younger brother, but I have nothing."
"But fate is fair. Although I don't have your family, I have Matthew and Chester, and I'm going to get a lot of assets from Beau..."
After that, she smiled and said,
"You came to see me today for Eliza, right?"
"No problem. As long as you divorce Matthew and announce in public that you will quit the showbiz, I will consider returning the recording to Eliza."
Roseane bit her lip and stared at Kezia.
"I want you to give me an accurate answer. If I do it, will you give it to me or not?"
"If you're just considering to give it back to Eliza, then I won't do it."
Kezia raised her eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, the foolish Roseane in the past had become smart.
