Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Faces
Benjamin Carter was thrown into the trash can in a very embarrassing manner, and those few underlings mocked him before leaving.
Benjamin still wore a smile on his face, but as soon as the underlings had left, he climbed out of the trash can, cursing under his breath.
"What are you being arrogant about? Did you really think I was afraid of you?"
Benjamin spat on the ground and then started peeling the garbage that was sticking to his clothes.
With both hands in his pockets, he took out his last crumpled five-dollar bill and turned into the supermarket next door to buy two bottles of alcohol.
He drank the alcohol as he returned to his previous residence.
Since he didn’t have the keys, he beat on his door violently.
His alcohol tolerance was low, so after drinking the two bottles, his steps were already unsteady.
After knocking several times without anyone opening the door, Benjamin’s demeanor grew even worse. He even started kicking the door, producing a deafening noise.
Just then, Raina Richard, who was coming up from downstairs, saw this scene and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
"Benjamin, what are you doing here?"
Raina blinked. Wasn’t Benjamin taken away and locked up by those people from the Ross Family?
How could he appear here?
Since she had been released from the apartment and couldn’t contact Oliver Ross, she decided to return to her own home.
But Raina was worried about being followed, so she took detours on the road for a long time and changed several buses before daring to come back.
Hearing someone call his name, Benjamin turned his head and saw Raina approaching.
As if his anger had finally found an outlet, he hurled the bottle of alcohol he was holding towards the corner where Raina was standing.
"Where the hell have you been? Why aren’t you at home?"
Raina was terrified, and the shards of the un-dodged bottle also cut her ankle. However, she ignored that at the moment, opened the door, and helped the reeking Benjamin into the house.
The small, filthy, and gloomy room had many bottles piled on the floor, and Raina, with her frail body, supported Benjamin, also noticing the disgusting smell on him.
"Weren’t you caught? How are you here now?"
Raina helped Benjamin onto a chair and asked cautiously.
"Caught? Who dares to catch me?"
Benjamin’s tone rose slightly, his arrogance nothing like the pitiful façade he’d shown in front of others earlier.
But at that moment, Raina didn’t dare say much more; instead, she hurried into the room and began packing their things.
"Benjamin, let’s go. Let’s leave this place."
Previously, the reasons given for Raina being hauled to the Ross Family’s place were all fabricated around Benjamin’s supposed capture. Now that Benjamin was back, Raina’s first thought was to leave immediately, to avoid further troubling encounters with the Ross Family.
However, Raina’s actions of packing everything seemed like a different scene to Benjamin, who was watching.
He suddenly stood up, then grabbed Raina by the hair ruthlessly pulling her backward.
"I knew it, you must have sneaked out some money behind my back, planning to run away with it so I couldn’t find you!"
While saying this, Benjamin started shaking the clothes that Raina was packing, but found nothing.
Furious, he turned around and slapped Raina hard.
"Speak! Where did you hide the money? Hurry up and give it to me!"
