Chapter: 1146
She glanced worriedly at Benico's thunderous expression and took the PC tablet from his hand. Examining its quality and the sheen of its casing, she commented, “It's worth thousands of dollars."

Jolie navigated her finger along the side of the tablet and pressed the power button to turn it on. She thought it would ask for a password, but it seemed there was direct access.

Once she turned it on, the screen flickered to life, and a video player suddenly appeared.

"Benico, look!"

The screen's pale glow cast across Benico's bewildered frown. He lifted his finger and clicked the play button.

The video began to play, slightly blurry figures moving across a scene. Jolie recognized one of them instantly-it was Bennett. Her breath hitched in her throat.

"Isn't that Bennett? What the hell is going on?"

Benico was also shocked to see the events unfolding within the video.

Ten minutes later, Benico's face contorted with fury, turning as black as ink.

Jolie quickly coaxed him, pleading, “Benico, please don't be angry!

Calm down! It's not worth risking your health!"

But how could he not be angry?

The video footage was crystal clear. Bennett was accompanying Claudia to visit Jace in the hospital.

Both Jace and Benico had to spend time in the hospital. Yet Benico's biological son didn't even so much as spare a glance at him, let alone pay a visit.

On the contrary, Bennett rushed back from another city to be by Claudia's side while awaiting Jace's surgery.

Benico felt like he was getting slapped in the face repeatedly. It was his son, his own flesh and blood.

“Calm down, Benico! The video is without consent, and the person behind this is trying to sow discord between you and your son. Your blood pressure isn't stable, and getting angry over this will only fulfill their malicious intent. Can't you see that?"

But Benico was beyond reason. He clenched his teeth and spat out his words with venom.

"Of course, I know what the person behind this is up to! But these video is real and undeniable! It's my son we're talking about! I've been in the hospital for two days, and he hasn't bothered to show his face! He's busy! Of course, he's busy! He's too busy being someone else's caring son-in-law!"

Jolie bit her lip, at a loss for words.

She felt that Bennett had gone too far this time. She had called him to inform him that Benico was in the hospital, but he hadn't even bothered to make a caring phone call.

She didn't know how to reconcile the strained relationship between the father and son.

Benico's anger boiled over. He raised his hand, smashing his tablet in rage.

“Give me my phone!" he demanded.
