Chapter 1078
Victor Bennett was momentarily lost for words when questioned, opening his mouth but unable to speak.Yes, what identity and position does he have to meddle in Joanna Ramsey’s affairs?
Victor Bennett was stunned for a long time, suddenly chuckling softly, leaning against the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
His emotions calmed instantly, unprecedentedly calm.
On the night of Joanna Ramsey’s engagement, Bella Green called him.
She said that on the day of the engagement, the White Family’s second young master was absent, and Victor Bennett himself didn’t know what happened.
So, as if driven by fate, he hurried to Kyoto overnight.
He waited outside the White Family’s gate for a day before he finally saw Joanna Ramsey.
At that moment, his feelings were indescribably joyous.
But that girl told him not to look for her anymore...
"Huh..." Victor Bennett laughed, closing his eyes, continuously laughing.
Even he himself didn’t know exactly what he was laughing at.
It just felt extremely ridiculous.
His eyes burned with heat from laughing, and his throat ached dryly.
Something seemed to become clearer at this moment, but Victor Bennett was unwilling to think deeply about it.
He feared the more he understood, the more painful his heart would become...
...
Victor Bennett maintained this state for quite a while, and Bella Green and Mason Bennett didn’t say anything further to him, instead leaving the private room directly.
"You knew he was in Kyoto, so why didn’t you tell me?"
Outside the bar, Bella Green asked.
Mason Bennett pressed his lips, speaking calmly.
"I didn’t initially know what he came here for, but later when you mentioned Joanna Ramsey, I began to guess a little."
Joanna Ramsey leaned against the car seat, sighed, and said nothing more.
In this matter, they were merely observers without much say.
"Mason, I want to go back." Bella Green closed her eyes, speaking softly.
Mason Bennett responded with a hum: "The ticket is already booked, we’re returning first thing tomorrow morning."
Bella Green nodded, then straightened up and asked: "What about the Lawrence Family?"
Mason Bennett was silent for a moment, seemingly thoughtful.
After a pause, he slowly spoke: "The Lawrence Family people seemingly hold no malice towards you. As for how you want to get along, it’s up to you, but Matthew Lawrence..."
Mason Bennett’s eyes narrowed slightly, deep and inscrutable.
"I don’t know what his purpose is, perhaps we’ve overcomplicated things, and he simply wants you to acknowledge your ancestry."
Bella Green smiled upon hearing this: "Do you think that’s likely?"
Mason Bennett shook his head: "Not much."
Bella Green pursed her lips, the response was quite straightforward.
She rested her chin on her hand, also somewhat puzzled, not that she deliberately wanted to think ill of someone.
It’s just, Matthew Lawrence gave her a peculiar feeling, a feeling she couldn’t quite define.
Yet, she always felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Even when meeting the elder Mr. Lawrence and Brian Lawrence for the first time, Bella Green didn’t have such a feeling.
Compared to Matthew Lawrence, whom she met earlier, the many encounters haven’t put her at ease.
Bella Green believed her sixth sense wouldn’t be wrong.
But indeed, Matthew Lawrence hadn’t done anything particularly suspicious.
He hasn’t made any requests, except insisting she return to the Lawrence Family...
Bella Green couldn’t figure it out, or perhaps, there wasn’t a single doubt about Matthew Lawrence.
Evidently, Mason Bennett thought the same.
"Don’t worry, at least for now he won’t harm you." Mason Bennett ruffled her hair, comforting her.
But Bella Green wasn’t comforted at all.
"Why do I feel creeped out after hearing you say that?"
