My Husband's Betrayal My Brothers' Revenge (Rebekah) novel Chapter 149

When Benjamin entered his office and saw Candice waiting, he felt a flicker of irritation.

"Benjamin."

"You're here about the Griffin Group, aren't you?"

Candice followed him to his desk and shook her head. "My father sent me to ask you for mercy, but I know you've already made your decision. I'm just going through the motions for him."

Benjamin felt a wave of relief, and his fondness for her grew.

"Benjamin," she said, changing the subject, "Shawn's school is having its gala in a few days. He asked if I would go with him. What do you think?"

Normally, Benjamin wouldn't have given it a second thought. But considering Rebekah's fragile mental state, he felt it was for the best.

He nodded. "Okay. Shawn is very attached to you. Thank you for doing this."

"It's no trouble. I adore Shawn."

As Candice watched Benjamin work, her heart fluttered. Soon, he would be her husband. So what if Rebekah was a Hawthorne now? She had taken everything from her once before, and she would do it again.

"That's… a double standard!" Wyatt protested, still heartbroken over the tea set. He shot a dirty look at his son.

Jensen held out a box he'd been carrying. "A little compensation for you."

Wyatt took the box and opened it. Inside was a complete tea set carved from pure white jade, far more exquisite than the one he'd lost at the auction. His eyes lit up, and his tune changed instantly. "You know, I was never that fond of the other set anyway. My son has much better taste."

A true tea aficionado, Wyatt immediately scurried off to find his finest tea leaves.

Jensen collapsed onto the sofa. Sylvia looked at him. "Rosie's gone."
