Chapter 23 The Shady Things You’ve Been up To

After the people around them heard their conversation, they sized Chloe up with looks of disgust on their faces.

It was as if she was the person who caused trouble with her father over property and being unreasonable.

Chloe’s face sank as she bit her lip. “I can set up an appointment with the lawyer for later.”

“No, they don’t have so much free time to wait around for you,” Benjamin replied with an impatient tone. “Since you don’t have time, I’ll temporarily take care of it. I’ll give it to you when you get married in the future.”

“No! I’ll go with you…” She quickly changed her mind and followed Benjamin off the bus.

Although work was important, the things her mother had left behind were the only things in this world that she could not give up. She was well aware that Benjamin was threatening her. If she did not retrieve them this time, it would only be more difficult to do so in the future.

If they did not agree, she could not blame anyone but herself she was the one who could not keep up her end of the bargain.

Benjamin got into a car parked by the roadside and glanced at the phone in Chloe’s hand. “The lawyer is waiting for us at home. Let’s go home and talk there.”
