Chapter 155
Bennett raised his voice.
He had a look at the watch on his wrist and hurriedly ran away.
"Once I see someone other than you appear within a kilometer of the plant, I will kill her myself without any hesitation."
"Warren! Don't you hurt her! If you are trying to stir up trouble, then you should just aim at me."
"Beep."
Over the phone, Warren had already hung up.
The next second, his phone rang again, and it was a text message.
It was still a message from Catalina's cell phone, with only one picture.
It was a picture of Catalina being tied up.
She was unconscious, and her hands and feet were tied with thick rope, sitting on a chair as if she was asleep.
Bennett rushed out the door and leaped into the car in stride. He slammed on the accelerator hard and was about to leave by turning the steering wheel.
"Mr. Shaffer!"
Seeing that something wasn't wrong, Ralph chased after him with hobbling steps, "Is there something wrong?"
"Lina was kidnapped by Warren!"
"What..."
"I don't have time to babble with you now. The address is in the factory building on Southern Sayton Road. Warren doesn't allow anyone except me to get close. I have to go over there first to save her, and you should think of a way with Vincent and arrange to save her."
"No, you can't go!"
Ralph rushed forward and blocked Bennett's way, "Mr. Shaffer, it is obvious that your brother is aiming at you! You may not know that two days ago was the anniversary of your brother's birth mother's death, and Mrs. Carolyn ordered someone to dig up his mother's grave. Even the cremains of his mother were scattered. Your brother must have a grudge against you, and if you go over there alone, you're sure to be in danger."
Bennett froze for a moment.
Since he had been in the studio for the past few days, busying himself with remaking the ring for Catalina, he didn't know what was going on out there.
Of course, there might be someone who deliberately hid this from him.
"Then, in this case, it seems more necessary for me to show up in person to give him an explanation. Get out of my way."
"I can't get out of the way. Mr. Shaffer, please take my advice. Although Mrs. Shaffer is trapped, your brother has always been merciful, and he definitely won't hurt Mrs. Shaffer."
Bennett looked furious and said, "You're asking me to be a coward?"
Ralph was silent.
"No way! Since you call her Mrs. Shaffer, you should know how important she is to me! There's no way for me to leave her alone. I, Bennett Shaffer, will never do such a bastard thing in my entire life!" Bennett said with his eyes red, "Ralph, our family owed Warren a lot. If I don't repay this debt today, I'll have to repay it tomorrow, and if I don't repay it tomorrow, I'll have to repay it one day sooner or later! You can stop me once, but you can't always stop me! Get out of the way."
"Mr. Shaffer..."
"Get out of the way!"
Bennett's veins on his forehead stood out.
Through the window of the car, Ralph looked at Bennett with a deep gaze.
Looking at this child that he had brought up on his own, the eyes that were deeply concave due to age were watery.
Well, this child was brought up by himself, so how could he not know him well?
Ralph sullenly closed his eyes. After a long time, he slightly turned sideways and gave way to him eventually.
With his eyes closed tightly, tears wetted the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
With a "boom", the car whistled away.
Ralph watched him leave.
The tears in his eyes blurred his vision again and again.
As Bennett said, there were some debts that he had to repay, and he could not hide from this forever though he might be able to hide from it once.
Ralph took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Vincent.
Bennett drove fast, and he arrived at the entrance of the plant in less than twenty minutes.
Inside and outside the plant, there were about seven or eight lines of guards in black, and as soon as they saw Bennett, all of them were put on alert at once.
It was only after they had ascertained that he was really here alone that the guards relaxed slowly.
"Mr. Shaffer, please come inside."
The one who came to invite him was Warren's cousin, Edwin.
With that, Edwin opened the door of the old plant.
As the door opened, he saw that Warren was sitting leisurely in his wheelchair in a suit and was staring at him fixedly.
Bennett strode in.
Bennett was very tall. As soon as he entered the door, Warren was overwhelmed by the big shadow covering him, making him frown slightly. "Ben, you're here."
"Yes, I'm here."
Bennett responded unhurriedly.
He glanced around unobtrusively.
As expected, Catalina wasn't there.
In fact, he had expected this early on.
It was impossible for Warren to keep Catalina here.
The plant was very empty. There was nothing else, but a cutting machine covered in a thick layer of dust.
"Do you remember this?"
Warren rotated the wheel of his wheelchair and asked Bennett.
"Of course. I will never forget it."
"Yeah. It is unforgettable..."
Warren lamented.
He gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly.
It was here that he had fought to save Bennett, but what happened then?
What did they do to him after that?
"Warren..."
Bennett stopped looking around. He looked at Warren, who was sitting in a wheelchair against the light, and lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry for what happened to your mother." "Sorry?"
Warren snorted, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head, "Who are you sorry for? Ben, what you all owe me is not just this apology?"
He wheeled his wheelchair towards the cutting machine slowly. He stroked it lightly with his fingers, leaving clear fingerprints on it.
The dust was thick and it stained his fingers.
He rubbed it and blew the dust
away, "Once upon a time, I always thought that I was born frail. But later on, realized that it was my mother, whom I respected the most, who poisoned me for decades. Thinking about it now, it's indeed the
grace of God that allows me to
survive until now."
Bennett had his hands in his pockets, straightened his back, and looked at his brother in the wheelchair with a mix of feelings, pressing his lips and not saying a word.
At this moment, he couldn't even make an apology.
An apology was far enough from what Warren wanted.
Warren turned back to look at him and said with a faint smile, "Ben, do you know why I chose Lina out of many girls to be my wife to save my life to
Counteract my bad luck? Do
you think that it was because + liked
Lina that your mother allowed her to
marry into our family?" Content
Warren shook his head.
Hearing him mention what happened four years ago again, Bennett had mixed feelings, which could be seen from his amber-like dark eyes.
For what happened in the past, he was the one who wanted to know the truth the most.
Warren continued, "Your mother chose Lina not because I liked her, but because you did!"
He snorted, "Ben, actually, you are
the one who brought Lina into this chaos instead of me! Your mother is so smart that you can never hide your feelings for Lina from her, and she would never allow her son to be with such an ordinary girl. So, what should she do? She of course had to split you two up! And the best way to do that was to let me marry Lina, wasn't it? In this way, on the one hand, I married Catalina and she would be your sister-in-law from then on. Even though you like her so much, there would not be any possibility for you two to be together; on the other hand, if I
married a girl with no power, it would be the same as burning my
bridges. Without the financial support of my in-laws, it would be even more impossible for me to be a rival to you..."
Warren snorted and sighed, "Mrs. Gu is really calculating. Since she had planned all these so well, how could my mother born inferior be her opponent? She probably did not die in grievance!"
