Chapter 1011Chapter 1011
Susanna opened her mouth in exasperation but didn't dare to utter another word. What an impudent
man. I am still his sister-in-law, after all. How can he criticize me so rudely? Since Old Mr. Graham
favors and sides with them, I hope he dies in there.
Benjamin walked up to Arissa and hugged her and the children. His darkened expression significantly
softened. “You all can go back first.”
Arissa looked at him and shook her head. “No. We'll stay here and wait for Dad to come out. We'll be ill
at ease anyway if we go back.”
Benjamin gazed at her and patted her head.
“Daddy, we don't want to go back. We want to wait for Grandpa to come out,” Gavin choked out with
tears brimming in his eyes.
Benjamin hugged them tightly. “Okay. We'll stay here and wait for your grandpa to come out, then.”
“Don't worry about us. I'll keep an eye on the kids,” Arissa said to him.
She didn't want to add to his trouble since he was already worried sick about Darius.
Benjamin nodded.
Ethen and Jack brought some refreshments over.
“Mr. Graham, Mrs. Graham, have some water.”
“Thank you.”Arissa received the water and handed a glass to Benjamin. He gestured at her. “Let the kids drink first.”
Arissa distributed the water to her children, and they finished off two glasses together.
Benjamin took a glass of water and gave it to Arissa. “Drink some too.”
She took a few sips and said, “You should take some water, too, to keep you warm.”
Although the weather wasn't cold, drinking water could help invigorate him.
He listened to her and finished the water she hadn't drunk.
Ethen and Jack also handed some drinks to Kingsley, Jonathan, the Graham family's relatives, and
members of the Bailey, Patterson, and Watts families.
They helped tend to the needs of those closer to Benjamin and completely ignored Bryan's and Nick's
families.
Both Susanna and Nick's wife were dissatisfied upon noticing that.
Bryan's face also darkened as he snorted.
Ethen and Jack glanced at them and immediately averted their gazes, leaving them unattended.
“Hey, we want to drink some water too,” Nick's son shouted arrogantly and rudely at Ethen and Jack.
Ethen smiled. “I'm sorry, but there's no more water.” Does he think we serve his family? I couldn't care
less about what he wants. He can pour his own water if he's thirsty.
The teenager, probably in his rebellious phase, pointed a finger at Ethen and scolded, “Don't you know
how to refill the water if it's finished?”Nick's wife quickly tugged at her son's clothes. “Quit stirring a ruckus. Fetch the water yourself if you're
thirsty.”
“Mom, didn't you see their attitude? Does he plan to continue working in our family?” The teenager
glared at Ethen in disdain.
“I work for Mr. Graham, not your family. You don't have the right to order me around,” Ethen replied
mockingly.
Naturally, the “Mr. Graham” he mentioned referred to Benjamin.
Face flushing in a fury, Nick's son uttered insolently as if he was trying to settle the score, “You! Yes,
you! If you hadn't brought the police over, my dad wouldn't have been taken away. You better watch
yourself if my dad doesn't get released!”
Ethen didn't take his threats seriously. After serving Benjamin for so many years, Ethen had more or
less adopted some of Benjamin's temperament.
“No one can penalize your father if he didn't violate the law. However, if he truly committed an offense, I
should let you know Mr. Graham is not a pushover either.”
Benjamin shot a forbidding look at Nick's son. When the latter met Benjamin's eyes, he was scared out
of his wits and hastily averted his gaze.
“How dare you act so haughtily when you're just an immature brat,” Kingsley sneered.
“Who do you think you're scolding—”
Unable to take that slamming, the teenager glowered at Kingsley. If Nick's wife hadn't held her son in
place, he would've lunged forward and gotten into a fight with Kingsley.“Pfft! What a joke.” Kingsley glanced at the teenager contemptuously.
The Graham family's relatives weren't impressed by the altercation, much less members of the Bailey,
Patterson, and Watts families.
“Kingsley!”
Kingsley's mother hinted at her son with her eyes to behave. Old Mr. Graham is still inside the
emergency room. Quit stirring a commotion here.
Kingsley pouted and moved to stand next to Jonathan.
Benjamin sat beside Arissa. His hands were placed on his knees, and his body was slightly arched. He
stared intently in the emergency room's direction with intense worry clouding his eyes.
