Chapter 366: Benson Abbott Won’t Get Away With It
"Ah?"
Thea Shaw thought for a moment, "Your aunt is the missing daughter of Old Master Rhodes?"
Franklin Rhodes sneered, "You’re the fortune teller, and you’re asking me?"
Thea Shaw smiled and said, "I’m here to see Old Master Rhodes."
This Franklin Rhodes really seemed to be asking for a beating.
Franklin glared at Thea Shaw, but eventually stepped aside to let her pass.
He looked at Thea Shaw’s delicate and enchanting profile, and her every move exuded grace and a touch of ethereal charm, causing his Adam’s apple to bob up and down.
But he also knew that the person in front of him was still the girlfriend of that madman from the Ford Family.
In Aethelgard, he dared to provoke anyone, except for the Ford Family.
Keeping his gaze fixed on Thea Shaw, he followed her inside.
"Grandpa Rhodes, I’ve come to see you."
Old Master Rhodes was lying in bed, and just like Old Mr. Kensington had said, he looked like a man who had swiftly returned to his nineties.
It was clear just by looking that his health was frail.
This also proved that the recent events had taken a toll on Old Master Rhodes.
Many people had come to see Old Master Rhodes, and except for those with special statuses, he would exchange a few words with them. At other times, he remained silent.
Such a crowd came and went, and each person just greeted, left their things, and departed.
Many people didn’t actually know why his health suddenly declined this time, but considering he was over ninety, it was seen as a normal occurrence.
Hearing Thea Shaw’s greeting, Old Master Rhodes did have a reaction.
He looked at Thea Shaw, unclear what he was thinking, his voice strong but undeniably weak, "You’re here."
Thea Shaw sat down, looking at Old Master Rhodes, just sighed and said, "Grandpa Rhodes, try to be open-minded. In this world, nine out of ten things don’t go as we wish. She’s living happily now, isn’t she?"
From the lines of fate, it was clear that his daughter was now leading a happy life.
Thea Shaw didn’t know the details, but she thought, people always have their reasons if they don’t want to return.
"Yes, she’s doing quite well."
Old Master Rhodes looked at the ceiling, and even his laughter carried a hint of desolation, "I considered whether she resented me, but I never thought she truly hates me."
Thea Shaw remained silent.
Franklin, who had followed in, was also distressed seeing his grandfather this way.
He grew up in the Rhodes Family, at least his grandfather’s love for him was evident.
He wondered why his aunt was unwilling to come back.
Returning to the Rhodes Family, her son, daughter, and husband could enjoy the best of everything; why wouldn’t she want to come back and leave grandpa in such distress?
He harbored some resentment toward Luna Rhodes in his heart.
But he couldn’t possibly voice these thoughts.
He knew nothing about the details.
Yet even his father said that in her childhood, his aunt didn’t actually have a good life, and they were too immature, causing her much grievance.
These few words, just speaking them, how could one truly grasp the bitterness within?
Old Master Rhodes just felt sorry for himself; he wasn’t one to wallow in melancholy, but this matter had ultimately drained him of some vitality. He no longer discussed the matter with Thea Shaw, only saying, "I heard you were staying in the countryside for a while, and only a few months ago your parents brought you back."
Thea Shaw laughed, "The old master is interested in my affairs?"
"It’s just quite bizarre."
Old Master Rhodes waved his hand, trying to sit up, and Thea Shaw instinctively reached to support him.
Sitting upright, Old Master Rhodes said, "Old Mr. Kensington never told me before, now knowing these things, I can’t just stand by. That Benson Abbott won’t have a good ending."
