Chapter 6


    In the hospital ward, Edward had already woken up, and there was no major injury to him. However, he


    lay on the hospital bed in worry.


    Sparing no concern as to whether Edward was capable of handling shocking news, Bradley


    approached Edward''s bedside. Putting on a pitiful facade, Bradley uttered, “Dad, Benson''s family


    caused us, the Turner family, huge trouble this time. The marriage between Isabe and Daniel was


    announcedst week. The Larson family had sent out wedding invitations to all the influential families.


    But now, Isabe had canceled the engagement. It''srgely considered an insult to the Larson family.


    She''s smeared their reputation in front of all of Dellmoor. The Larson family will never let this go so


    easily. This morning alone, there were already three clients who had terminated their cooperation with


    us. We muste up with a way to remedy the situation!”


    “That''s right, Dad. To this day, no one dared to humiliate the Larson family. They won''t ever forgive us


    this time. If we don''te up with a solution, The Turner family will be done for.”


    Even though Brandon detested Bradley''s indifference to their father''s health, the Turner family was in a


    predicament. He had no choice but to join in.


    “Whatever has happened, has already happened. Do any of you have a good solution?” Edward asked


    as he let out a sigh.


    “Grandpa, I believe that this is all because Uncle Benson failed to raise his daughter properly. Not only


    did they offend the wealthiest family, the Larsons, but Isabe decided to marry an abandoned man.


    They''vepletely ruined our family''s reputation! We should just chase them out of the Turner family


    as punishment. This way, not only can we cut all ties with them, but the Larson family would also no


    longer me us.” Harvey, Isabe''s cousin, took the lead and proposed his solution in front of


    everyone present.


    s, the conversation was nned. It began with Bradley, which would then be followed up by his son,


    Harvey. Their goal was to appease the Larsons'' anger by chasing Isabe''s family out and freezing


    their assets.


    Edward took a deep, meaningful nce at Bradley and Harvey. He then turned his head toward his


    youngest son, Brandon. “Well... Brandon, what do you think?” Edward asked.


    “I...” Brandon hesitated momentarily upon hearing Edward''s question. Then, he answered honestly, “I


    agree with Harvey''s opinion. If we cut all ties with Benson and his family, the Larson family will have no


    reason toe after us.”


    “Alright, so be it. Let''s proceed as per your suggestions. Harvey will be the one to take over Isabe''s


    work. I''m exhausted. Please leave, all of you.”


    With how his two other sons agreed to oust Benson out of the family, Edward had no choice but to


    concede to Bradley''s and Brandon''s proposition for the sake of the Turner family.


    Hearing Edward''s decision, Bradley and his family rejoiced. On the other hand, Brandon''s family


    appeared dejected.


    By right, when they purged Benson''s family out of the Turner family, the remaining power within the


    family should be equally split between Bradley''s and Brandon''s factions.


    However, Edward had entrusted Isabe''s work to Harvey. It essentially indicated that Edward had


    ced the future of the entire Turner family in Harvey''s hands.


    After all, Isabe was in the midst of preparation to sign a huge contract two days prior. The individual


    backing the coborator was Craig McGowan, the man referred to as the Underground King of


    Dellmoor, a figure on par with Philip, the wealthiest man.


    As long as the Larson family brought them no trouble, the Turner family could potentially close the deal,


    and they would no longer have to worry about money for the next two to three years.


    “Hmph!”


    Brandon huffed at Bradley, then took his leave from the hospital room.


    Having gotten what they desired, Bradley''s family spared no concern for Brandon''s attitude.


    Once everyone had left the hospital room, the expression on Edward''s face wavered. Nheless, he


    soon steeled himself.


    The Turner family was the fruition of his entire lifetime''s effort. He couldn''t let it all be for naught solely


    because of Benson''s family.


    The moment Bradley left the hospital room with his family, he swiftly contacted the bank to freeze the


    assets of Benson''s family. It included their bank cards, automobiles, estates, and more. Bradley then


    announced to the public that Benson and his family had been kicked out of the Turner family by


    Edward.

    The next phone call was made to their butler, with Bradley instructing him to toss out everything


    belonging to Benson and his family.


    Only when Isabe arrived at the Turner residence did she finally catch up with her parents.


    “Girl, why are you back again? You must be careful for the time being and should stop running all


    around!” Pauline chastised, her face full of worry.


    She had just gotten out of her car when she noticed that her daughter had followed them back.


    The first trimester of pregnancy is extremely important. It carries the highest risk of miscarriage!


    “Dad, Mom, you guys rushed back too quickly! You''ve forgotten your bank cards. Also, you''ve


    misunderstood...” Isabe stuffed the three cards directly into her mother''s bag.


    Just as she wanted to exin that she wasn''t pregnant, the butler led several housekeepers to toss


    their luggage out of the Turner residence.


    “Mr. Ferguson, what are you doing?”


    No longer having the spare time to hear her daughter exin, Pauline turned around and questioned


    the butler out of fury.


    “Mr. Bradley informed us that you''ve brought shame and crisis upon the family. You''ve been kicked out


    of the family by Old Mr. Turner, and we''re only following orders. Also, those two cars need to be


    returned since they were issued to you by the family,” answered the butler. He then called out, “I need


    two men who can drive. Take these cars into the garage!”


    Edward had never held Isabe''s father in high regard. Hence, not even the butler paid any importance


    to Benson and his family back in the days. Then, as they were being ousted out of the Turner family,


    the butler behaved more haughtily. Having hurled the Bensons'' belongings out, the butler immediately


    sent for the housekeepers to drive Isabe''s and Benson''s cars away. He then closed the main gate


    and locked it.


    “Y-You''re going overboard! I''ll be having a discussion with Old Mr. Turner soon!” Pauline was fuming


    with anger, having been humiliated by a subordinate.


    She turned around, determined to make her way to the hospital to confront Edward and the two cold-


    hearted brothers of Benson.


    “Hold it! Let''s say you go looking for Dad now. Do you believe that my brothers will allow us to meet


    with him?”


    Benson held Pauline in ce. Even though he was furious, he understood Edward''s character.


    Whatever decisions thetter made, he would never change his mind. On top of all that, Benson knew


    that it would be meaningless to meet with Edward then. Contrarily, Bradley and Brandon might mock


    Benson''s family.


    “Then, tell me. What do we do? Those two cruel brothers of yours are bullying you! Yet, you''re still just


    taking it in? Why did I fall in love with such a worthless person like you in the first ce? I want a


    divorce! I can''t continue living like this!”


    Pauline was utterly disappointed at her husband''s cowering behavior even as things hade to that


    point, and the couple began bickering right at the main gate.


    “What can I do but endure? I have no standing in the family because you couldn''t give birth to a boy!


    The reason why Dad treated me the way he did and the reason why my brothers are tormenting me is


    all because of you! It''s all on you!”


    Benson had lost his temper as well. All the pent-up rage he had within him against Pauline was


    unleashed in an instant.


    “Dad, Mom, please stop fighting. It''s my fault! My stubbornness dragged you into this mess. I''ll


    apologize to Mr. Larson now.” Isabe then turned around and left for the Larson residence to issue her


    apology.


    Seeing her parents fight, Isabe suddenly wondered if she had been too selfish. Her heart was


    instantly filled with remorse, and her tears unwittingly streamed down her cheeks.
