Chapter 129 It Was The Rogers Family
The injury was so painful that Arissa withdrew her hand from Benjamin when he was applying the ointment.
“Stop moving!” Benjamin ordered. He then grabbed her and continued treating her injury.
“Why didn’t you just run away when they came after you?” Benjamin questioned.
Arissa felt a sudden wave of warmth as she noticed how much Benjamin cared for her. “I couldn’t even if I wanted to! They came prepared. I took this route because it has less traffic, but who would’ve known they were already here waiting for me! I just wanted to get home faster, that’s all.”
“Who do you think might be behind this?” the stony-faced Benjamin asked.
“Except for Danna, I haven’t offended anyone else,” Arissa answered Benjamin cautiously while sizing him up.
Benjamin then paused and said in a deep voice, “I’ll get Ethen to find out more.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Graham!” Arissa said.
Benjamin stared at her, trying to figure out what was going on.
After Benjamin was done applying the ointment, Arissa pulled her hand back. She rubbed the injured spot gently, but all she felt was pain.
Benjamin’s heart softened when he saw how bruised up Arissa’s hand was.
A few moments later, Ethen came to the car and he knocked on the window. “Mr. Graham, those people were sent by the Rogers family!”
Benjamin was infuriated.
Arissa was shocked, as well. So, it really was you, Danna.
She then looked at both of the men and exclaimed, “If the Rogers family was involved, then it had to be at Danna’s request!”
Ethen was surprised by how confident Arissa sounded in her claim. “How would you know that, Ms. York?”
Arissa then stared at him. “That’s what I’ve found out in my investigation before!”
Ethen immediately glanced over at Benjamin and waited for further instructions.
“Break their legs and send them back to the Rogers family personally,” Benjamin ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Graham!” Ethen answered and relayed Benjamin’s order to the rest of the subordinates.
One of the bodyguards then got in the car with Benjamin to send him back.
As Arissa was getting out of the car, she said, “Mr. Graham, thank you for saving me back there. I’ll go now.”
Just as she was about to leave, Benjamin pulled her back in and asked, “Are you sure you can drive with your injured hand?”
He then ordered the bodyguard to start driving.
Arissa blinked and said softly, “I think I’m okay to drive. Besides, my car is still…”
“I’ll get someone to fetch your car and send it for repair,” Benjamin interrupted.
Arissa then looked out the window and saw that her car window was severely smashed up. She couldn’t have been able to drive it home.
Ethen carried out the order and broke all of the thugs’ legs. Their cries of pain were so loud that chills ran down Arissa’s spines.
However, Arissa was unsympathetic toward them. After all, they were trying to end her life.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” Arissa thanked Benjamin again.
Benjamin glimpsed at her from the corner of his eyes and blurted coldly, “That’s all?”
Arissa locked eyes with his deep gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.
She was confused. “What do you mean, Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin pursed his lips and kept silent. He was always a man who carried himself with a mysterious and intimidating aura. As a result, people were often caught acting uneasily around him, including Arissa.
Still mystified by his deep gaze, she gulped and looked away anxiously. He’s always so bewildering when he doesn’t speak!
As Arissa was caught in her own thoughts, she looked out the car window and realized that she wasn’t being brought home. “Mr. Graham, my house isn’t this way.”
“Who says I’m sending you home?” Benjamin scoffed.
Arissa was taken aback. First, you told me not to go home by myself. And now, you’re not even sending me home? What’s your game? “So where are you bringing me?”
“You were already being followed. What makes you think it’s safe for you to return home now?” Benjamin swept a glance at her.
Arissa frowned as she realized that Benjamin had a point. How about the kids? But since Bradley is with them, they should be fine. They are in good hands. Besides, there’s a big possibility that I’m still being followed. Yes, I wouldn’t want to endanger them by going home now.
“So, where are we going then, Mr. Graham?” Arissa looked around and realized that she wasn’t familiar with the surroundings.
Despite Arissa’s question, Benjamin just shut his eyes and ignored her.
Arissa twitched her lips and decided not to ask further.
