But Bennett just laughed lightly, voice calm and measured. “Damon, you’re being naive Leia had already made up her mind to kill Dad. Whether the power went out or not, she would’ve found another way to do it”

“Oh, really!” Damon let out a cold chuckle, his meaning clear. “So that’s why the power mysteriously cut our?“

Bennett raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion. “Why are we still on about the circuit breaker? Whers that got to do with me?

Damon didn’t respond immediately

When Damon had suspected something was off and tried to intervene, Bennett had stopped him.

Now Damon couldn’t help but wonder, Was Leia really acting alone? Or had someone pushed her down that path!”

“What exactly are you playing at, Bennett?” he asked, voice low,

Bennett had always been the most brilliant of the Anderson brothers.

Even though all five of them were considered exceptional by others, within the family, it was clear–Bennett was on a level of his own

And yet Damon had never quite been able to understand him

They were close, yes. But something about Bennett always felt… unreachable.

Bennett met has brother’s sharp gaze with a smile, completely as ease. “I have no idea what you’re talking abour” he said lightly. “You thinking about switching to philosophy? Your questions are getting deeper and deeper.”

Damon gave a bitter smile, “Maybe”

He knew there was no way Bennett would admit anything without concrete proof

Still, there was one thing he couldn’t let go.

Damon didn’t bother beating around the bush.

The others might not know, but he did he knew Noelle’s body wasn’t normal,

Bennett had intentionally nicked her hand with a knife. And according to the staff, when Noelle was cleaning up, Bennett made sure to leave that knife behind–the one with her blood still on it.

It didn’t take a genius to figure it out. He wanted to analyze her blood.

Because Bennett, was cold. So cold it was terrifying.

If it served his purpose, he wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice even family.

And now, with his eyes on Noelle, who knew what he might try next!

But Bennett kept smiling. I told you–it was an accident.”

Damon let out a short, scornful laugh. “Your A surgical genius! Making that kind of accident?”

Bennent didn’t flinch. No matter how Damon pushed, he calmly stuck to his story.

Just as the tension between them was about to boil over, there was a knock at the door.

“Mr. Bennett, Mr. Damon–Adriel’s b

At that, Bennett’s smile deepened. “Adriel’s home! Let’s go greet him.”

Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked out.

Eli’s gaze locked onto her instantly. “Yo, Adriel–who’s that? Your girlfriend?”

Adriel answered calmly, “No.”

Adriel paused for a beat. He looked down at the girl, then replied vaguely. “It’s complicated.”
