Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Damon stared at Bennett , who still wore that calm , unbothered smile .
For some reason , that expression made Damons temper flare .
His tone turned sharp .
If the power hadnt suddenly gone cut , Leia wouldnt have had such an easy by time poisoning Dr.
Maybe if shed hesitated even for a second , the mightve hacked off entirely But Bennett just laughed lightly , voice calm and measured .
Damon , youre being naive Leia had already made up her mind to kill Dad .
Whether the power went out or not , she wouldve found another way to do it Oh , really ! Damon let out a cold chuckle , his meaning clear .
So thats 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 didnt respond immediately ly .
What d did it have to do with Hennett ? Nothing ... and yet , somehow , everything When Damon had suspected something was off and tried to intervene , Bennett had stopped him .
That night .
Bennett had deliberately distracted him , keeping him away from Leia .
Then blackout .
Poisoning .
Now Damon couldnt 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 brothers sharp gaze with a smile , completely as ease .
I have no idea what youre 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 couldnt let go .
What are you planning to do with Noelle ? At that , Bennett raised an eyebrow again , amused .
Why the sudden question ! What did Ä® ever You cut her hand .
r do to Noelle ! Her healing ability was extraordinary .
The family hadnt noticed yet , d yet , but someone ass someone as surp as Bennett definitely had .
Damon didnt bother beating around the bush .
The others might not know , but he did he knew Noelles body wasnt 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 didnt take a genius to figure it out .
He wanted to analyze her blood .
Was he planning to treat Noelle like some kind of lab rat just the thought of it made Damon uneasy was starting to fear Bennett in a way he never had before .
And after what had just happened with the poisoning , he was Because Bennett , was cold.
So cold it was terrifying .
If it served his purpose , he wouldnt hesitate to sacrifice even family .
Chapter 222 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 didnt 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 Adriels b hack At that , Bennetts smile deepened .
Adriels home ! Lets go greet him .
Without waiting for a reply , he turned and walked out .
Damon followed , knowing full well he wasnt getting anything more out of him for now .
Downstairs , a tall , composed figure stood in the foyer .
His presence alone commanded attention .
as Adriel the eldest Anderson brother .
But this time , he hadnt come back alone .
Beside him stood a young woman , about Noelles age .
She clung to his sleeve like a child , hiding slightly behind him . Her big blue eyes darted nervously around the room .
She looked timid , almost like a frightened rabbit .
Elis gaze locked onto her instantly .
Yo , Adriel whos that ? Your girlfriend ? Adriel answered calmly , No.
Then whys she glued to your side like th that ? Adriel paused for a beat .
He looked down at the girl , then replied vaguely .
Its complicated .
Just then , Noelle approached , eyes locked on the girl like a hawk .
If looks could pierce , shed have already burned a hole through her .
er with his body .
His tone was cool as he told Noelle .
Dont stare at her Seeing this , Adriel instinctively stepped in front of the woman , shielding her like that .
Shes shy .
Oh , Noelle muttered , backing off at his chilly tone .
But in her mind , she was already calculating There was one month left .
Adriel was the only one she hadnt won over yet .
And judging by his attitude ... he wouldnt be easy .
