Dylan’s face turned flushed due to the side effects of the drug. He leaned against the wall and struggled to withstand the surges of waves crashing over him one after another. “Grandfather, why did you do this?” He took a deep breath with his lips tightly clenched in suppressed anger.
Charlie immediately replied, “Dylan, I was only looking out for you.”
Dylan didn’t think it was right to put the person he had liked for so many years in his bed by using dirty tactics. He chuckled bitterly in his heart.
He smiled helplessly, “You knew very well that I liked her, yet you still pushed me and her into a place of no return.”
The most ridiculous thing was…
He had just dealt with the scum Yusuf, but the next second, he almost became another scum himself without knowing it.
After this incident, maybe he and Hazel had no chance.
After all, no woman would choose a man whose family would drug her with the intention of forcing her to be married, especially when it came to a family elder, right? Even though Dylan was unaware, he was still one of the culprits responsible for causing this
outcome.
If Hazel hadn’t been sober just now, and if Dylan hadn’t had a short duration of taking the drug, given the current state, he would have been afraid of unintentionally hurting the person he had loved for many years.
Hazel was taken aback for a moment before she snapped back to reality upon hearing Dylan confess love for her once again.
Dylan was excellent, both in college and now.
But Hazel truly had no romantic feelings towards Dylan, and she had always kept her distance from Dylan.
She couldn’t believe that Dylan still liked her…
Dylan faced his true emotions calmly and gracefully, giving off an air of pride in liking Hazel. Upon hearing Dylan’s words, which were tantamount to a confession, Gabriel, standing next to Hazel, felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and his whole body tensed up instantly.
He turned his head to feel Hazel’s attitude.
Confused, complicated, and tangled… The only thing missing was the feeling of being moved. Gabriel’s tightly wound string in his heart loosened slightly.
Dylan looked into Charlie’s eyes and asked, word by word, “Grandfather, am I your biological grandson?”
Charlie was left speechless by the question and didn’t know how to “Dylan, you are certainly my grandson.”
respond.
They had done a paternity test, and Dylan was indeed the child abducted from the Bennett family.

Hazel’s nose twitched, smelling the scent of blood.
Hazel glanced in Dylan’s direction, his hand without support against the wall, blood streaming through the gaps between his fingers in a vivid red.
Dylan actually…
Charlie, however, did not pay attention to the situation of his grandson and took out his frustration caused by Hazel and Gabriel on Dylan.
“Dylan, are you questioning me?”
From Dylan’s silence, Charlie found a sense of satisfaction in controlling others. His aged eyes gleamed with cunning, like a cheetah finally spotting its desired prey, relentlessly closing in, leaving no chance for the other party to catch their breath.
“You are my only grandson. Would I ever harm you? Dylan, you have disappointed me.” Hazel looked at Charlie speechlessly, another stubborn old man who claimed to act in one’s best interest but did harmful things.
She observed Dylan’s eyes carefully, wanting to see if Dylan would be a filial but stubborn person, and the result was quite gratifying to her.
Dylan kept mulling over the words he had spoken in his mind, his clothes soaked with sweat. He earnestly said, “But you destroyed my happiness. Is this what you said? You won’t hurt me?”
Love should not be a reason to hurt someone.
Dylan apologized to Hazel again and made a promise in front of everyone, “As the President of Bennett Capital, I
Capital, I announce that I will give Hazel Robinson 10% of the shares.”
Charlie angrily exclaimed, “You’re crazy, kid.”
Dylan answered, “Yes, I am crazy.”
His body had also reached its final stage, maintaining the last bit of sanity. He turned around and entered the room, closing the door and locking it.
Dylan slumped to the ground, completely drained of energy.
He released his tightly clenched left hand, inside of which was a razor blade from a shaver, cutting a deep wound in his palm.
Blood was still flowing, but Dylan sat on the ground as if he couldn’t feel any pain, while footsteps leaving outside the door could be heard one after another.
He silently shouted Hazel’s name in his heart.
Just a door away…
Hazel looked into Charlie’s angry eyes, disregarding his fury, and bluntly said, “You lost your grandson again.”
Charlie was speechless.
On the way to leave the Bennett family’s place, Hazel knew that even if Dylan had done so much, his grandfather would still not have any changes.
Most elderly people in their seventies or eighties have already had their thoughts solidified, so how could they be changed by a few words from their juniors?
Someone like Charlie would never do that.

But Hazel was still satisfied with Dylan’s current approach.
According to the soaring value of Bennett Capital, these shares worth billions were unconditionally given to her. How could she not be happy about it?
The Robinson family’s driver had been waiting at the door.

Hazel’s hand had just touched the backseat car door when a man’s cold voice came from behind her.
Gabriel said, “Wait a moment.”
Hazel turned around and raised her eyebrows at Gabriel, asking, “Is there something else?” “If you want to deal with Charlie, I can help you.”
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the old man was out of breath after being scolded by Hazel today. In reality, Charlie had some sneaky tricks up his sleeve, and Gabriel was worried that Hazel might suffer.
Hazel answered, “No need.”
She liked to seek revenge, but she was not blindly foolish.
She would use the appropriate means to different enemies.
Charlie, a person who had withdrawn from above, had a rigid mindset and behavior, and the most important thing to him was his dignity.
Today, he was slapped in the face by his grandson and even lost 10% of Bennett Capital’s shares. He was probably regretting it in the room.
Hazel should have argued, and she did. She should have taken it, and she did.
She intended to let this matter pass.
If there was a next time, she would not let it go easily.
Hazel pulled open the car door with force, about to get in, when she heard Gabriel speak again, “I’ll take you back.”
The evening breeze blew Hazel’s hair, which hung down on both sides of her cheeks. Hazel blinked her eyes and looked at Gabriel, saying, “I feel like I made myself very clear last time at the airport.
“You and I, apart from being the parents of two children, have no other relationship, so…. “Gabriel, be proud.
“Your current behavior does not align with your aloof style.”
This time, she did not have any more hesitation. She opened the car door and got in, completing the action smoothly.
The black Bentley quickly disappeared from Gabriel’s sight, his slender figure appearing even more lonely and cold in the darkness.
Ezra, who was
was walking not too far behind, felt sorrow for his employer’s family. Ezra finally understood the hardness of love.
In the car back to the Robinson family’s place…
Hazel received a call, and her breathing changed noticeably.

She said to the driver, “Go to the airport.”
