Ch-281

Esther felt content. She was relieved at the fact that her son was not the son of that bitch. Well… here the bitch refers to Lucy Clark.

Esther wanted to do the final rituals for her parents. But the fact that her son turned them into a small ball, crushed her wishes. She knew he meant no harm, but… sigh… in the end, she was a human with few wishes.

"OH MY GOD!!" she yelled suddenly when she realized something.

"What?" Cyrus asked.

"I am late. Those three strong-headed nut head designers finally agreed to sign up with me!" Esther said.

"But your parents passed away. You can't meet them in this situation," Cyrus said.

"But aren't they turned into a ball?" Esther asked as she blinked her eyes.

"Hmm… if your parents suddenly go missing, then the Benjamin empire would be in cahoots. So.. they have to handle it. And your brother needs to find a new CEO. Of course… if he leaves so suddenly... It would raise doubts. So.. only by using his parent's death… he would get rid of the unwanted doubts," Cyrus said.

"But bodies…" She wanted to say something.

"That thing they will take care of," he said.

Esther nodded.

------------------

The news of Charles Benjamin and Lia's death shocked the whole world. People suspected that this might be a murder. But they said nothing… when they announced that… Lia died hitting her head by falling from the stairs. By the time… they got her admitted to the hospital it was too late. And when they got the reports of her whole body… Only then they realized that she had a strange disease in her brain. Due to this huge hit… her brain couldn't handle it. All the veins in her brain burst resulting in her death. Only then the rest calmed down.

As for Charles Benjamin, it was said that… he was too sad and heartbroken after knowing his wife's health and her condition. He was too guilty and couldn't hold it anymore, which led to his heart attack. And he denied his treatment, as he doesn't want to live in this world without her presence.

The netizens teared up at the 'beautiful love story of Lia and Charles Benjamin. But only… Henry knew how stupid he felt to say this story. Esther gave this idea to him. He just can't go and say that their curse led them to their death.

The Benjamin family 'finished' the 'funeral' rituals with the family of three. And they didn't invite anybody for it. And the netizens or others said nothing about this, they knew… they were the most influential and the deaths of two people at a time is not a small blow to them. Everyone felt it's a pity for them.

---------------------

A day passed with all the drama they created. Esther sent the formal messages to Thor and Rex, and Anna apologizing for not being able to meet them. She also asked them to meet her three days later. The three of them, even though they still haven't trusted her and don't like her, they still felt sad for knowing her loss. They said their condolences to her and agreed to meet her after three days.

On the other side…

In the Benjamin empire…

"Collen Ben Vritra will be our new CEO from now in my place!" Henry announced.

"CEO Benjamin, we don't know him. How could we trust him?" a shareholder raised his voice.

Their CEO and their President Suddenly held this meeting and said that their CEO would be some tom, dick, and harry. How could they accept it?

"CEO Benjamin, we can't accept him! We don't even know him. And he never made any achievements as far as we know! How could nobody be a CEO!" they raised their voice.

And many people showed their positive responses to the ones who raised objections.

"We accept Miss. Benjamin as our CEO," someone said.

"Yes, if CEO Benjamin couldn't do it, then Princess could do it." Someone showed their support for this statement.

Henry was getting headaches with all these objections and things. Charles Windsor's Benjamin was just sipping his handmade wine. Well.. he is the president and due to his age, no one complained about his drinking habit even in the office.

Charles Windsors showed no expression of interfering, his gaze said that I don't want to interfere in this shit. But his look was misunderstood by the shareholders. They thought it's his grieving look. Sigh… the old man was suffering.

Slapping his hand on the table, Henry got their mouths shut.

"Cyrus Vritra…" Henry started.

This word… got the attention of the shareholders. Of course, how could it not attract their attention? This man was so mysterious. But why did his name pop up so suddenly?

"Cyrus Vritra and my sister Esther Benjamin got married fifteen days ago," he said, dropping the bomb.

"What?!" a loud yell came out of a middle-aged shareholder. That middle-aged shareholder was planning to get his son into Benjamin's family by marrying the divorced woman by showing some of his kindness. But was he too late? Yes! He is! And Esther got someone better and the best!

"How could this happen?" he said his thoughts out.

"What Mr. Jonas? Does my sister need your permission to get married to the man she liked?" he asked coldly.

Henry doesn't know but his temper and his aura changed, to the scariest point. Everyone could feel a shiver running through their spine as they looked at him.

"Keep your she-male son in your home. Don't you dare try using your tricks on my sister!? You got that, right?" Henry said as he locked his angry-red-rimmed eyes at the shivering man.

She-male… Charles Windsors Chuckled for the first time in the meeting. Even he was angry at that man's audacity. How dare he dream about his granddaughter. Was he even worthy?

"Grandfather?" Henry called out.

"Take care of him well. I don't want any traces to be left," he said as he slapped his cane on the ground before landing his gaze on him.

"I will," Henry replied.
