Chapter 58 Become the Granddaughter-In-Law
Benjamin carefully observed Aylin, noticing that she spoke earnestly and didn’t seem to be mistreating herself. Only then did he feel at ease.
“Aylin, if you ever encounter any issues, you must tell me, Old Mr. Bennett!”
Benjamin truly felt heartache for Aylin, almost to the point of making her cry. She quickly took out the gift prepared by Hugo to hide her emotions.
“Old Mr. Bennett, please take a look at the gift I’ve prepared for you. Do you like it?”
“You silly child, why did you bring a gift? Your presence is the greatest gift for me. If you bring
something like this again, don’t blame me for kicking you out!” Benjamin put on a stern face,
pretending to be angry.
Julia playfully patted Aylin’s shoulder with a light laugh, “Good girl, come by more often. Dad has
been talking about you ever since he heard you were coming back. From now on, treat this place
your own home…”
like
“That’s right, from now on, treat this place like your own home.”
Howard Bennett also came over and chimed in, “Your father and I are like sworn brothers, so from
now on, you’ll be no different from my daughter!”
He wore a dark haute couture suit, his gaze profound. Over the years in the business world, he had
mastered the art of concealing his emotions.
At this moment, warmth was given to Aylin.
As the guests arrived one after another, they were all astonished to see the Bennett family gathered
around an elegantly dressed woman.
“Does anyone know that woman? She’s quite beautiful!”
“I’ve never seen her before, but judging by the way Old Mr. Bennett looks at this woman, with even more affection than he has for his granddaughter, she must be someone of extraordinary status!”
“Could it be the Bennett family’s illegitimate daughter…?”
She was rendered speechless.
Faint voices entered Aylin’s ears, but she paid no attention to them and gave Hugo a subtle glance.
On his way to the event, Hugo had already received the guest list for the banquet. Following Aylin’s instructions, he mingled with the crowd and started socializing.
“Aylin!”
Suddenly, an excited voice, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, could be heard.
Suzanne Bennett, the daughter of the Bennett family, went upstairs to change her clothes. When she came down, she saw her long-lost bestie, her eyes red as if she was about to cry.
Aylin, she’s really alive!
Back then, when she learned about Aylin’s death, she simply couldn’t bring herself to believe it. How could someone who was perfectly fine just suddenly be gone?
She rushed to the site of the cruise ship explosion and searched almost every inch of the surrounding area. In the end, she spent an entire week soaking in the sea but still couldn’t find anyone. When she returned home, she came down with a high fever.
From then on, she no longer dared to think about Aylin.
Seeing Aylin standing gracefully in front of her now, Suzanne immediately grabbed Aylin’s arm and burst into tears on the spot. “It’s so wonderful that you’re back. From now on… from now on, I can go shopping with you again!” She then sobbed.
Aylin and everyone were rendered speechless.
Originally feeling quite sentimental, her one sentence managed to amuse me.
Aylin gently pulled Suzanne to sit down, wiping her little face clean with a tender smile. “Alright, I know you need my aesthetic sense to accompany you shopping, but there’s no need to be this moved.”
Suzanne sniffed.
Benjamin looked at Aylin with pity in his eyes. Now, Aylin was the only one left in the Koch family. If anyone were to have ill intentions towards her, what could she, a young girl, possibly do?
Benjamin made a decision right away!
“Aylin, what do you think of the Bennett family?”
Aylin nodded earnestly, “You’ve given me the long-lost warmth of a family, and I’m very grateful to you all. I’m also very happy; the Bennett family is wonderful!”
“How about you become my granddaughter-in-law? Then I’ll see who dares to bully you in the entire New York!”
Aylin was rendered speechless.
Before she could answer, Benjamin sighed and continued, “Ah, it’s just that my family’s brat keeps disappearing all day long! Otherwise, I could have let you two meet today.”
Suzanne pouted and said discontentedly, “Exactly, I don’t even know what Samuel does all day.
He’s never at home and always running around the world! Who knows, he might be in some Amazon Jungle right now, struggling with a crocodile.”
Feeling that her words might have embarrassed Samuel Bennett, Suzanne quickly changed the topic and, with a silly grin, put her arm around Aylin.
“But speaking of Samuel, he has an amazing eight-pack and is incredibly handsome. He’s one of the few in all of New York! When he comes back, I’ll definitely bring him to meet you! Once he sees you, he’ll surely not want to leave again!”
Julia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, “Yeah, my son is actually running around outside every day just to avoid inheriting the family business. You see, it’s all because Dad has been pushing him too hard.”
Howard nodded in agreement.
Benjamin puffed out his cheeks and glared, “Who am I doing this for? It’s so that both of you can retire early and enjoy family life! Hmph, go ahead and spoil him!”
Aylin watched the scenes unfolding before her eyes, a genuine smile gracing her lips.
For others, they now consider themselves as outcasts. Although the Koch Group is currently under their control, many people believe that the present Koch Group is nothing more than an empty shell.
After returning to her identity as the daughter of the Koch family, all those prestigious families avoided her as if she were some kind of jinx.
The warmth that the Bennett family brings to her is the warmth of home!
She felt a touch of emotion in her heart, and even a bit of envy.
If her own parents were still alive, the atmosphere in her home would surely be just as harmonious…
The atmosphere was simply delightful. Benjamin gestured to a nearby attendant, and in no time, he had a glass of champagne in his hand.
Before it even reached his mouth, two pairs of hands had already blocked his face.
“Dad! How’s your health? Don’t you know yet?”
“Dad! No matter what you say, you cannot drink this wine today!”
Julia’s face was filled with anxiety, and Howard, who was originally planning to leave the
gathering, now hurriedly appeared in front of Benjamin, taking two steps at a time.
Suzanne rushed over to grab the cup, “Grandpa, have you forgotten why you were hospitalized? No,
no, I won’t let you drink alcohol anymore! A stroke is no small matter!”
Benjamin was stopped, and his face instantly darkened. With a fierce glare, he angrily said, “Get out of my way! I saw Aylin today, and I’m in a good mood. Anyone who dares to stop me will face my wrath People often say that when someone grows old, they become like a child again.
At this moment, Benjamin held the glass of champagne protectively against his chest, glaring indignantly at the three people in front of him.
Looking just like a child who had their candy stolen.
Upon hearing the word “stroke,” Aylin also felt a bit worried and advised, “Old Mr. Bennett, nothing is more important than your health. You should stop drinking for now. Once your health truly improves, I’ll accompany you for a good drink, alright?”
Aylin patiently coaxed. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Benjamin glanced at Aylin, then looked at the wine in his hand, still filled with reluctance.
Howard sighed softly, “If only we could find Althea. It’s a pity that she disappeared after her last surgery five years ago, and no one knows her whereabouts to this day.”
