Chapter 604
Fearing that the news would be too much for Benjamin, the butler exined slowly, "There are
about 100 subsidiarypanies under the parentpany. Because of the broken funding chain,
they''ve all been sued for breach of contracts and are now going into liquidation."

Still, Benjamin didn''t take this well. He had a ckout and was about to fall backward.
Thomas and the butler hurriedly came forward and held him up.
"Dad—"
"Sir—"
Benjamin recovered himself and opened his eyes the instant they got him. "Help me stand up
straight."
Thomas suggested, "Dad, let''s see the doctor, shall we?" He feared that the consecutive upsets
would be too much for Benjamin''s heart.
"No, it''s not necessary. I''m fine." Benjamin forced himself to stand erect to insist that he was still
alright. This is the hospital, where I can see a doctor as soon as something happens to me. What a
good way to taunt me! "Ha ha." He let out a sneer, his feelingsplicated. In just two days, he had
lost a secret base of operations, causing him to lose 10 billion right away. And now, hispany
was brought down without warning. She really never gives me the slightest chance to catch my
breath, eh? Now I no longer have anything to do with Troyce.
Just then, the door to the ward opened. Having finished examining Vania, the doctors left together,
as though they had been timed to leave. The next instant, Hanson''s voice rang inside the ward.
"Since you guys are here, juste in." He sat beside Vania''s sickbed without even looking at
them.
Now that his boss had spoken, Larry immediately invited them in. "Mr. Kepler and Young Master
Thomas, this way, please."
Thomas helped Benjamin inside, whereas Larry arranged two chairs as respectfully as before, as if
they still didn''t know anything.
Hanson calmly peeled an apple and fed it to Vania himself in a leisurely manner.
On the other hand, Vania didn''t seem to be severely injured. Looking alright, shey face down on
her sickbed while eating the apple Hanson fed her. It wasn''t until she finished eating the apple that
she pretended to finally notice Benjamin and Thomas'' presence and smiled. "Mr. Kepler, I''m so d
that you take time off from your busy schedule to visit me," she said, but she didn''t sound d at all.
At this moment, Hanson looked up as well. "Van just got hit. Luckily, she isn''t badly injured and will
recover with a bit of rest. Now that you guys have seen her, you may rest assured. This bit of injury
is indeed not severe enough for Yvonne to get a sentence." His voice was icy without the usual note
of familiarity in it.
The sarcasm in his words was evident.
The sarcasm in his words was evident.
Displeased with his attitude, Thomas stepped forward. "Why the sarcasm? We''re buddies, after all.
Can''t wee to pay a visit?"
"Do you think we could still be buddies now?" Hanson asked in reply. I''m not gonna get all buddy-
buddy with someone whose family just hurt my wife, he thought.
Thomas replied, "I know that the incident is Yvonne''s fault, so we''ll let her receive her due
punishment. It''s just that there are some things that''d better be stopped at this point." Naturally, he
was referring to what had happened in Troyce.
Hanson raised his eyebrows for a moment. What had happened in Troyce was, of course, his doing.
At this very moment, however, he had only one thing in mind—that his wife had brought him good
luck. Thanks to these incidents, the country was now firmly under his control. Still, looking at
Thomas at this moment, he replied, as if he was puzzled, "My wife is now confined to her sickbed,
so I''ve been keeping herpany all this while. How could I have the time to do anything else?"
"I''m talking about what happened in Troyce." Thomas explicitly pointed out what he was referring to.
"I think there''s no need for us to speak in riddles, don''t you think?"
