Chapter 494


    Old Mr. Morison believed that Bane would listen to him. After all, the future of the


    family’s business would be in Bane’s hands, and if he wanted a smooth inheritance, he


    had to obey hismands. What were Old Mr. Morison’s thoughts? Men ying


    around with women is just normal as long as it doesn’t be too scandalous.


    At first, he actually thought Victoria was quite good, but after her family went bankrupt,


    he didn’t think highly of her anymore, let alone when she divorced ric and became a


    divorced woman with two children. Since then, he had always looked down on her.


    However, Bane turned out to be emotionally attached to her and couldn’t live without


    her. Although Old Mr. Morison tried to intervene several times, even resorting to using


    force, Bane wouldn’t listen.


    During that time, Old Mr. Morison was furious, and it was his assistant who got him to


    calm down by saying, “Why are you so angry, Old Mr. Morison? They have been


    entangled for so many years, but they still haven’t ended up together, right? It’s clear


    that Mr. Morison is just ying around. She’s just a worthless divorced woman with


    two children. Once he gets tired of her, he will naturally leave her, so you shouldn’t keep


    interfering. Besides, people have a rebellious nature. The more you try to separate


    them, the more he will think she is good. I’m afraid that before they break up, there will


    already be a rift between you and Mr. Morison.”


    After being persuaded by his assistant, Old Mr. Morison realized that Bane and Victoria


    hadn’t actually ended up together. So, he started to believe what his assistant said, that


    Bane might just be ying around and wouldn’t marry her. Since then, he stopped


    intervening and even started showing a favorable attitude toward Victoria.


    A while ago, when he learned that Victoria had returned to the country, he thought that


    once she returned, she would break things off with Bane, so he was happy during that


    time. In fact, he even wanted to search for various socialites for Bane, but then the


    Cadogans came knocking on his door, asking for Victoria. Later, he found out that Bane


    had kept her with him.


    When the Cadogans came looking for him, he was extremely displeased. She’s an adult,


    after all. If she wants to leave, no one can force her to stay. How dare theye to me


    and ask for her? Yet, it was the Cadogans that he was facing, so he couldn’t speak too


    harshly. She’s just a divorced woman anyway. Only the Cadogan Family will treat her as


    their treasure. That was why he made that phone call.


    At this thought, Old Mr. Morison even belittled Victoria in front of Bane. “I know you


    have feelings for that girl from the Selwyn Family. To be honest, she has good looks,


    but you have to know that she’s been married before. If you really like her, you can keep


    her as a mistress outside. Think about it–she’s divorced and even has two children. Are


    those your children?”


    “I don’t care,” Bane replied.


    Old Mr. Morison had originally intended to just give him advice, hoping that his


    grandson would at least think about it. However, when Bane said he didn’t care halfway


    through, it instantly ignited his anger. “You don’t care? What gives you the right not to


    care? You are the heir of the Morison Family. You represent the entire family. Do you


    think you’re alone? No! You have the entire Morison Family behind you.”


    “Oh.” Bane sneered, “Why didn’t you apply such strict teachings to that murderer? When


    he disgraced the Morison Family, did he think about the family’s reputation?” He paused


    for a moment before continuing, “Or more urately, does the Morison Family even


    have any reputation left?”


    Stunned, Old Mr. Morison bellowed, “Y–You little brat! What do you mean by the Morison


    Family? Aren’t you part of the family?”


    Bane remained silent.


    “Release her now!” Old Mr. Morison threatened.


    Bane retaliated, saying, “You don’t have the right to order me around.”


    “You are my grandson. How can I not have the right?”


    When Bane heard that, he scoffed. “You want me to release her? Dream on.” After that,


    he hung up the phone directly.

    “You b*st…” Old Mr. Morison was about to scold him, but he heard the busy tone


    Instantly, he became furious, and his assistant beside him quickly approached him and


    patted his chest to calm him down. “Calm down, Old Mr. Morison.”


    “I can’t believe it. That brat actually hung up on me.”


    “He’s just young and hot–headed. Don’t bother with him. It’s not worth making yourself


    sick from the anger.”


    With the constion of his assistant, Old Mr. Morison’s breathing became smoother.


    “He refuses to let her go. How am I going to exin this to the Cadogans?” As he said


    this, a worried expression appeared on his face.


    After hanging up the phone, Bane turned it off, refusing to take any more calls. He sat


    there with a dark expression, his mind filled with the words that Old Mr. Morison had


    just said. Why? I just want her to be by my side, that’s all. Why is everyone against me?


    Why is everyone trying to take her away from me? Victoria…


    His eyes darkened, and after a moment, he stood up and walked toward Victoria’s room.


    -Today, Benjamin came again. His idea was toe and talk to her every day to build


    trust between them, in the hopes that one day she would be willing to open up to him.


    That was the current approach he was taking.


    However, it seemed to have little effect. On the first day, Victoria nced at him, but the


    next day, she didn’t even look at him. When he spoke to her, she simply closed her eyes


    and ignored him.


    When Benjamin came out, he looked at the others and could only shake his head


    helplessly. “She still refuses tomunicate. I’ll try again tomorrow or the day after.” At


    this point, he paused and looked at Bane, seeming hesitant.


    Bane noticed his expression and pressed his lips together before saying coldly, “Just


    say what you want to say.”


    With a nod, Benjamin replied, “I wanted to say that Miss Selwyn seems to be in a worse


    state today than yesterday. Is she still not eating anything at all?”


    Bane looked at Jessie, who immediately said, “She had a little dessert soup today, but


    she still ate very little.”


    Since losing her memory and leaving the hospital, her eating habits had been extremely

    simplified. Fortunately, she was still willing to eat sweet foods, which helped sustain


    her to some extent. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.


    “If she’s willing to eat, at least her daily nutritional needs will be met. For now, she


    doesn’t show suicidal tendencies, so maintaining her current diet is sufficient. However,


    if she refuses to eat, it’s equivalent to hermitting suicide, but a slow one,” Benjamin


    said with a sigh.


    “What should we do?” Jessie was on the verge of tears. “Will Miss Selwyn die?”
