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?"
