Chapter 950: On the right side

"Let's give them a good show they'll enjoy, not knowing that it's them we're watching."

Charles, Stephen, and Haines looked at each other, determination swirling in their eyes. Even though Stephen hadn't gotten along with the other two all these years, they were still family. Despite their differences, the Bennet Family was their common ground.

They had to protect it as the men of their houses.

"But the pill..." Stephen broke his silence after a while. "... you're not going to ask me to use the one they gave me, right?"

Although he no longer had possession of those deadly pills, Stephen still had to ask. After all, he still needed more information other than just acting like his deadbeat father.

"About that..." Haines trailed off and snapped his eyes to the mobile phone on the table. "... Penny?"

"Penny?" Stephen furrowed his brows, his eyes falling on the phone. "She's listening?"

Haines nodded in satisfaction, casting his eyes at Charles. The latter nodded as well, snapping his eyes to the phone.

"What do you think of the plan, Penny?" asked Charles because, as a father, he knew this plan would affect his children just as much as it would affect them.
