In the Lap of Luxury
Chapter 445 You're Not Sorry

Susan was left speechless after being reprimanded.

"Now you show no signs of remorse. In fact, you're making things worse. You're ruining all hope of them being together," Elizabeth said helplessly.

She then looked at Benjamin. "Benjamin, do what you need. I'll support you. Your mother is at fault. But she's still your mother, no matter what. You have to show her some respect."

Elizabeth let out a heavy sigh.

"Grandma..."

Elizabeth waved her hand and didn't say anything more. She turned and walked away, trembling slightly.

"Benjamin, I know it's my fault. I realize it now."

Benjamin stared at Susan coldly, not saying a word.

After a pause, he asked, "The piece of land for Jessica, did you acquire it under the Hawkins family's name?"

Susan hesitated and slowly came to a realization. "Did you come back today to talk about this?"

Benjamin ignored her question and asked, "Do you know who Jessica is?"

Susan was puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion.

Benjamin leaned in and whispered something. It made Susan's face turn pale. She slumped to the ground in shock. Benjamin didn't hesitate for a moment when he saw this. He turned and left, leaving Susan sitting alone in shock.

Susan's eyes were filled with disbelief. Suddenly, the spacious villa echoed with Susan's screams.

She seemed to be in a daze, muttering incessantly, "It's impossible! This can't be true ..."

Just then, a housekeeper approached her and said, "Madam, Mr. Hawkins said to pack your things. He's taking you to Astana to replace Ms. Hawkins." Upon hearing this, Susan stepped back and protested, "No, I don't want to go to Astana! I don't want to go to that cursed place! Don't make me go!" Downstairs, Benjamin listened to Susan's screams, but his heart remained firm. He stood in the yard, looking very desolate.

After some time, he took out his phone and called Larry. "Help me with something."

"Mr. Hawkins, what can I do for you?"

"Check the bank account for the transaction details between Jessica and Susan."

Larry was surprised and blurted out, "Mr. Hawkins, are you asking me to check Madam Hawkins' accounts?"

Benjamin hummed softly and continued, "Once you have the information, send it directly to my email."

After giving the instructions, Benjamin ended the call. He turned back and looked at the familiar yet strange house before ultimately leaving.

...

Early the next morning, Benjamin got in the car. He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes showed signs of fatigue.

The spacious car was filled with the thick smell of smoke, and cigarette butts were scattered on the floor.

Just then, someone appeared in his line of sight. Benjamin squinted his eyes, stubbing out the cigarette in his hand and tossing it out the window.

He opened the car door and got out.

Jessica was quite surprised. But then her eyes lit up when she saw Benjamin.

"Benjamin, why are you here?"

Benjamin leaned against the car, his gaze fixed on her. After a moment, he asked instead, "Where are you going?"

Jessica smiled knowingly. "Landon Group has managed to buy a piece of land. I'm going to sign the contract today. Why? When did you start caring about what I'm doing?"
