Chapter 207

At the Landor residence.

As Ben and Susan descended the stairs together, they saw Susan’s parents, Carl and Jane, kneeling before old Mr.

Landor.

Each held a bottle of pesticide in their hands.

“Mr. Landor, they say they will drink the pesticide if Mr. Landor senior doesn’t help them,” a servant whispered.

A hint of a cold smile flickered at the corner of Ben’s mouth.

He was about to step forward when Susan reached out to stop him.

“Susan,” Ben said in a hushed tone, “they are your parents. You should be shielded from dealing with them.”

“Exactly because they’re my parents, I should be the one to settle things with them,” Susan stated calmly.

Ben was concerned, but Susan was insistent, so he stepped back.

Susan walked straight to Old Mr. Landor’s side.

He was infuriated to the point of a headache when he saw Susan. He paused, then said, “Susan, you don’t need to worry about this. Go and rest. I’ll handle it here.”

Susan smiled softly, “It’s okay, Grandpa. I can take care of this.”

“Susan, you’re here,” Jane said with an excited look. “Do you know your sister is going to jail? And they’re saying she might get three years. Susan, she’s your own sister. You must save her this time.”

Carl nodded in agreement, “Yes, if you don’t even help your own sister, what will people say? They’ll point fingers at your backbone.”

Susan furrowed her brows slightly and asked softly, “She’s been sentenced?”

Jane thought they were getting somewhere and pressed on, “Yes, your sister is pregnant and in poor health. How can she survive in jail? Susan, I know you’re the kindest. You couldn’t bear to see your sister in a situation where it’s a matter of life and death for both her and her unborn child!”

Hearing this, Susan’s frown deepened, “I’m very sorry.”

“That’s right to feel regret, Susan, you…” Jane started to say something with excitement.

Susan continued, “My regret is, why was she only sentenced to three years?”

Jane’s words got stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

“What do you mean by this, Susan?” Carl–stood up somewhat angrily. “Is this how you treat your parents? Don’t you know that family is bound by blood and should help each other?”

Susan glanced at him with an impassive face. “Is that so? All I know is that my so–called father, bound to me by blood, gave me a bank card that was supposedly loaded with 2 million dollars, but in reality, it was empty. I also know that when Penelope was injured, my so–called father was the first to stand up and testify that I had major conflicts with her and suggested I had a motive to harm her.”

Carl was speechless.

Carl looked at Susan’s indifferent face, frustration and anger rising in him. “We’re all family here. How can you bear such grudges? Besides, I was only speaking the truth back then!”

“Oh,” Susan said calmly, “I was also speaking the truth about Yana’s situation. Let me be clear: I was the one who insisted on calling the police, and when asked if I wanted to mediate, I was the one who refused. If she’s capable of doing such a thing, I want her to face the consequences.”

“You…” Carl’s fingers trembled with rage as he stared at Susan’s stern visage.

Old Mr. Landor frowned at this.

Carl and Jane had arrived in a flurry of life–and–death urgency, begging him to save Yana, yet they hadn’t mentioned “what she had actually done.

He had thought Yana had gotten into trouble for something else, but to replace out her imprisonment was linked to

Susan?

He was about to inquire further when Monica couldn’t contain herself any longer.

“Susan, I never imagined you could be so spiteful,” Monica said, disbelief etched on her face. “She’s your own sister. Even if you’re jealous of her receiving more parental affection, you wouldn’t–shouldn’t–let her end up in jail!”

Mr. Lynn also shook his head, addressing Old Mr. Landor, “Sir, if I may say so, Mrs. Landor’s actions could leave room for gossip if word spreads. Today, when I came to visit you, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Miller pleading with the guards, desperate for a moment with Susan. But the Landor family’s guards kept them at bay. Seeing their plight, I had to help them get in.”

“Sir, parents‘ hearts are full of their children. To think one daughter is in jail because the other called the police, how heartbroken Mr. and Mrs. Miller must be.”

Mr. Lynn’s face was the picture of compassion.

“Susan, you’re truly in the wrong this time,” Monica chimed in. “There should be no overnight grudges in a family! You must help with this matter. We are one family, we should support each other.”

“Mr. Lynn and Ms. Lynn’s words seem more just,” Jane said, looking at them gratefully.

Susan watched all of this quietly and then suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Carl said with annoyance. “Didn’t you hear Mr. Lynn and Ms. Lynn? Family doesn’t speak in two tongues! This favor, you must do it, whether you want to or not.”

Susan’s smile grew wider, “And if I refuse, what then?”

“If your sister really ends up in jail because of you, I will drink this pesticide! Then, when you’ve driven your own mother to her death, let’s see where you can stand,” Jane said through clenched teeth.

“Your mom and I will die right in front of you,” Carl said furiously. “Let’s see if Ben still dares to be with a venomous woman who drives her own parents to their deaths.”

Ben?

They dared to bring up Ben?

Susan paused for a moment.

Did they have no idea why Yana was being sent to jail?

Susan narrowed her eyes and asked, “Are you not aware of why Yana is being sentenced?”

“Yes,” Carl frowned. “They said it was for intentional assault! They wouldn’t disclose who the victim was, fearing we might harass them, but they mentioned the injuries weren’t severe, which is why Yana didn’t get a harsher

sentence.”

Susan was speechless.

So, they came here to threaten her without knowing anything, hoping to pressure her into helping in the name of family

and moral righteousness.

Susan was curious to know if they would still dare to make such a fuss if they knew that Yana had injured Ben.

Her expression suddenly became rather peculiar.

Seeing Susan like this, Ben couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

Alright

His wife was about to stir things up again.

But…

He quite liked her mischievous side.

“Whoever Yana Injured, why did you have to call the police?” Jane also chimed in. “Yana is your own sister! Even if she had actually killed someone, you should cover for her, not call the police!”

Mr. Lynn coughed, “Jane’s words may be a bit rough around the edges, but they’re not without reason. At the end of the day, we must maintain some sense of human kindness. Sending your sister to jail over a stranger, that’s just too cold–hearted.”

Monica also expressed her disapproval, “Grandpa, Susan, that really is too ruthless. Just a while ago, she Impulsively left Edie alone, disappeared for three months, and made him search the world for her. Now, on a whim, she’s ready to send her own sister to jail. It seems her heart lacks any affection. Today, she can do this to her own family; tomorrow, she might do the same to you or Ben. Grandpa, I hope you don’t mind my saying so, but I’m genuinely worried about you getting hurt in the future.”
