Chapter 207

At the Landor residence.

As Ben and Susan descended the stairs together, they saw Susan’s parents, Carl and Jane, kneeling before old Mr.

Landor.

Each held a bottle of pesticide in their hands.

“Mr. Landor, they say they will drink the pesticide if Mr. Landor senior doesn’t help them,” a servant whispered.

A hint of a cold smile flickered at the corner of Ben’s mouth.

He was about to step forward when Susan reached out to stop him.

“Susan,” Ben said in a hushed tone, “they are your parents. You should be shielded from dealing with them.”

“Exactly because they’re my parents, I should be the one to settle things with them,” Susan stated calmly.

Ben was concerned, but Susan was insistent, so he stepped back.

Susan walked straight to Old Mr. Landor’s side.

He was infuriated to the point of a headache when he saw Susan. He paused, then said, “Susan, you don’t need to worry about this. Go and rest. I’ll handle it here.”

Susan smiled softly, “It’s okay, Grandpa. I can take care of this.”

“Susan, you’re here,” Jane said with an excited look. “Do you know your sister is going to jail? And they’re saying she might get three years. Susan, she’s your own sister. You must save her this time.”

Carl nodded in agreement, “Yes, if you don’t even help your own sister, what will people say? They’ll point fingers at your backbone.”

Susan furrowed her brows slightly and asked softly, “She’s been sentenced?”

Jane thought they were getting somewhere and pressed on, “Yes, your sister is pregnant and in poor health. How can she survive in jail? Susan, I know you’re the kindest. You couldn’t bear to see your sister in a situation where it’s a matter of life and death for both her and her unborn child!”
