Chapter 1008

Noticing the change in his expression, Arissa asked softly, “Did something happen?”

“Enjoy the upcoming show!”

When Benjamin gave her a look without explaining, Arissa was bemused.

What is he talking about?

The indiscernible look on his face simply caused her to purse her lips.

In the meantime, Benjamin broke into an icy smile when his gaze suddenly met Nick's.

When Nick saw the knowing look on Benjamin's face, his expression froze while his hair inexplicably stood on end.

“Benjamin, I heard that you have gotten in the way of Bryan's business?”

Nick walked over, wearing a cunning smile on his face.

Arissa's brows furrowed slightly. Is this what Benjamin was talking about?

Benjamin replied with an icy gaze, “It only shows how incompetent he is from a business perspective.”

Those around who heard his words were utterly flabbergasted. Only Benjamin was brazen enough to not show

Bryan any respect at all.

It went without saying that Bryan heard what was said, causing a gloomy expression to descend upon his face.

Initially, he had no intention of coming but only did so out of his obligation as the eldest son of the Graham family.

Otherwise, he would end up as a subject of ridicule.

Since everyone in attendance was a relative, his absence would only further elevate Benjamin's prestige.

“Benjamin, how can you speak so disrespectfully? Don't forget that I'm your elder brother still!”

Despite his fearsome outburst and the fact that he was old enough to be Benjamin's father, the gravitas Bryan

exuded was inferior to that of his brother.

Humiliation filled Bryan after Benjamin publicly disparaged him.

Nevertheless, Benjamin refused to dial his mockery down. “I'm just stating the facts.”

Pfft!

Kingsley and the others could barely contain their laughter.

With a drastic change in expression, Bryan would have lunged at Benjamin if Nick hadn't held him back. Even if the

latter didn't, Bryan was still no match for Benjamin in a fight.

“Why are you arguing out of the blue again?”

The stern-looking Darius came over and glared at the brothers.

Are they trying to give me a heart attack?

Amidst the soft muttering of friends and family, Darius swept a piercing gaze across their faces as he thundered,

“I'll kick whoever causes trouble out of here!”

Bryan was filled with indignance when his eyes met Darius' accusatory gaze.

“Dad, he scolded me first. How can I not fight back? Even if you're biased, this is just taking it too far!”

“You b*stard, how dare you have the cheek to be angry? If you hadn't gotten on Benjamin's nerves, why would he

attack you? Do you think you're right to cause so much conflict within the family?”

Darius was outraged to see the family discord laid out in the open.

Doesn't he know what day it is today? He must be making my life difficult on purpose.

Having blown his lid, Bryan was about to confront Darius when Nick hurriedly held him back and attempted to

defuse the situation.

“Bryan, calm down. There's no point in losing your temper with Dad. Don't disgrace yourself in public.”

“Didn't you see how biased Dad was toward Benjamin? What am I supposed to do? Am I to just sit idly by as

Benjamin ridicules me?”

Bryan was speaking in a voice loud enough for many others to hear it.

“B*stard!”

Darius slammed his walking stick on the ground as he glowered at Bryan.

“Dad?”

Even though Bryan was cowed by his father's intimidating gaze, he continued to put up a strong front on account of

his pride.

“Whose son are you? Who was it that raised you?” Darius raged.

“Grandpa...”

Terrified by the outburst, the children retreated behind Arissa.

“It's all right,” Arissa comforted them as she moved them back to her side.

“Dad, calm down.”

As Benjamin came forward to stroke his father's back, Darius shot him a glare.

“You, too, should keep a lid on yourself. Don't you know how important today is?”

Benjamin fell silent while maintaining a calm look on his face.

“Are all of you trying to kill me?” Darius panted in anger.

After receiving the glass of water William had brought, Benjamin fed it to his father.

“Calm down and drink some water. You'll be in for something more shocking later.”

Turning to face Benjamin, Darius questioned through gritted teeth, “What did you say?”
