You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 798

“I know you're home, Benjamin. We want to speak with you!” Bryan started shouting from outside the house.

“Susanna doesn't think before she spouts nonsense, and I've already told her off. She's here to apologize to Gavin, Benjamin!” he added.

Arissa was tucking the kids into bed when they heard the commotion. The six kids immediately turned their heads toward the windows, curious.

“Is that the one who bullied you, Gavin?” Jesse looked toward Gavin and asked.

Gavin could recognize Bryan's voice, so he nodded and said, “Yup!”

Zachary immediately jumped out of bed and said, “Let me go teach them a lesson!”

“Come back!” Arissa hurriedly stopped him.

“But Mommy, the big bully who was mean to Gavin is here!” Zachary protested angrily.

Arissa shook her head and showed her disapproval. They had not met Benjamin's brother and sister-in-law before, so it was best to keep a low profile and not get involved.

“Your daddy will punish them,” Arissa said.

All six heads turned to her and asked in unison, “Why do you trust Daddy (Mr. Graham) so much, Mommy?”

Feeling embarrassed, Arissa confessed, “I overheard his phone conversation. He ordered his men to take away a project from them, and that is going to hurt them a lot!”

The kids' eyes lit up as they crowed, “Serves them right!”

Benjamin heard Bryan's shouts, and that handsome face of his became grim. He turned to Ethen and Jack and said, “Shoo them away. If they refuse, you can resort to forceful means.”



“Noted!” Ethen and Jack hurried out, and when Bryan and Susanna saw them, they frowned.

“Where's Benjamin?” Bryan demanded.

“Mr. Bryan, please leave. Mr. Graham has no wish to meet with you,” Ethen relayed the message coldly, with no hint of respect for Bryan.

Jack stood next to Ethen with his arms across his chest, staring sternly at the two unwelcomed guests.

Susanna could tell Benjamin was adamant about getting back at them, so she pleaded, “We have something important to ask Benjamin! Why did he take away our project? We are counting on—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ethen snubbed her by saying, “Why? I think you should know why! You bullied Gavin, so Mr. Graham is only teaching you a small lesson!”

“Get Benjamin to come out!” Bryan shouted angrily.

“Susanna was in the wrong, but she has realized her mistake. How are we going to keep our business going if he takes away our project? Our cash flow is going to be badly affected!” he added.

“Who am I to make Mr. Graham come out to meet you? You offended him, so you bear the consequence! Good luck to you!” Ethen said.

“Mr. Graham has given instructions that we are allowed to use forceful means to make you leave. Do you want to leave of your own accord, or do you want us to help you, Mr. Bryan?” Like Benjamin, Ethen could also be merciless when the situation called for it.



“I dare you to!” Susanna glared at Ethen and Jack, furious. As Benjamin's brother and sister-in-law, she felt Benjamin was out to humiliate them with such disrespectful treatment.

Ethen and Jack gave a hand signal, and a group of bodyguards immediately came up and stood in a circle around Bryan and Susanna.

Bryan grabbed Susanna, got into the car, and drove off in a huff.

“Gosh! What a pair of cowards!” Jack sneered.

Ethen stared at the departing car and instructed a few bodyguards to tail them before heading back into the house.

Benjamin went upstairs and headed to the kids' room. Arissa was still there.

“Why are you still up?” he asked when he saw the kids were still awake.

“It's so noisy outside!” Gavin complained with annoyance.

“I've already chased them away, so go to sleep now!” Benjamin assured him.

“They were about to fall asleep, but the commotion kept them up,” Arissa explained.

“I know,” Benjamin said, visibly upset.

He walked to the other end of the room and coaxed the kids, saying, “Forget about those people. Get to sleep now.”

The six kids obligingly lay down, but their eyes were wide open, watching both Benjamin and Arissa.

Benjamin could tell the boys were curious about something, so he raised a brow and asked, “Do you have a question?”

“Are those two your brother and sister-in-law, Mr. Graham? Why are they so mean to Gavin?”
