Chapter 807

It was evident that Arianna was flustered.

"N- Nothing! I meant Benedict had not been around recently, so I'll be your daughter for the time

being.I’ll take his place.No! I'll take good care of you!"

Anyone could tell something amiss from her guilty and anxious expression, let alone someone like

Derrick.He was just sick, not out of his mind, so he held her wrist firmly.

"That doesn’t sound right! Are you guys hiding something from me? What is it? Steph?"

He turned to look at his wife and called her name sternly.

Stephanie bit her lower lip and just let her tears fall.She said nothing.

Since he could not get an answer from his wife, he turned back to look at Arianna, who was right in

front of him.

"Ari, tell me! I’ve always doted on you and treated you as my daughter! Tell me what happened to

Benny!"

"Uncle Derrick, please don’t ask about that anymore.You should take care of your health first!"

Derrick used another hand to hit the bed repeatedly.

"Are you guys trying to piss me off to death? Just tell me!"

"Uncle Derrick, don’t be like that! I'll tell you everything, all right?"

Arianna’s eyes teared up as well, and she started to sob.

"A few days ago, we received news from our people at Middle Valley that Benedict was bitten by a

poisonous snake when he was getting some materials, and he di—"

She did not say the last word entirely, but anyone could guess what the word was.

Arianna covered her face with her hand and started to cry while Stephanie turned around to wipe her

tears.

Slowly, Derrick released his grip on Arianna.He was stunned to the point where he stopped making any

sounds.His eyes were wide open as he stared at Arianna blankly.

It made her a little scared.

"Uncle Derrick..."

"Ari, you’re pulling my leg, aren't you? Benny’s fine, right? It’s not his first time running out there like

this.He had always been lucky, so why would anything unfortunate happen to him? He hasn't pissed

me off enough, so he wouldn’t leave like this.This can't be.He’s fine..."

Derrick mumbled, shaking his head and repeating those few words like he was possessed.

"Uncle Derrick, don’t be like this.Even if Benedict is gone, you still have me, and we will still be by your

side! You must take good care of yourself!"

Arianna called out anxiously, "The company is already in a mess now! You must stay strong!"

"What’s...with the company?"

Derrick’s voice was weak, and he appeared numb from shock. He did not cry nor yell, but he suddenly

became weak, and his gaze showed that his mind was drifting apart.

"There's a problem with the company’s new project, a problem with the perfume, to be exact.The public

is saying our company used illegal ingredients in our product to raise sales.Everyone in the company is

cracking their heads to overcome this crisis now, but don’t worry, we will get through this.The most

important thing is your health now.You must stay..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a tight grip on her hand, making her lower her head.She saw

Derrick gripping her wrist tightly while his eyes stared into hers.

"Uncle Derrick?"

Arianna called out, slightly guilty, but she got no response from him.

Derrick slowly released his grip on her, like all his strength had been drained from his body quickly.

Then, he fell back down onto the bed.
