Riches in Disguise

Benjamin immediately said, "Of course Tiffany wants to see you. But aren't you supposed to be with me? Plus, she has gotten really familiar with you these past couple of days. She knows you'll definitely see her off. Will is different, though. He's always busy. I need to tell him specifically."

I had to admit that Benjamin's emotional intelligence had improved. He knew how to say the right things to smooth things over now, which was something he never used to do.

In the past, he was either straightforward and blunt or wouldn't say anything at all. Trying to get him to speak diplomatically was nearly impossible. It seemed like he had grown up a bit.

I wasn't going to refuse. I said, "Alright. I'll go with you tomorrow. By the way, what time is her flight?"noveldrama

Benjamin scratched his head sheepishly. "It's not a flight. She's taking the train."

"A train?"

When his family struggled in the past, it was understandable that they took the metro. But I was sure that he could now afford a plane ticket since he made some money.

Now that I could ask without hurting his pride, I directly said, "Ben, this is on you. It's not like you're broke. You should've bought Tiffany a plane ticket since you returned Damian's gift and got some money. Taking the train can be very exhausting."

"It's not the way you think." He quickly waved his hands to explain.

"I'm not reluctant to spend the money for her flight. I want her to be comfortable, too. It's just that she doesn't want to fly. You don't understand, Will. We've never flown before. We don't know how to handle the luggage. She'll be nervous the whole time. It's more comfortable to take the train."

Even though he said that I felt they'd have to take the first step eventually. Once they did, it would make the next time easier. But without trying, they'd remain stuck in the same place forever.

I wasn't his father, so I didn't want to interfere too much. I just gave him some advice, but ultimately, how he treated his sister was up to him.

That afternoon, I got a call from Mason. He gave me an update on the situation regarding The Dragonshade Society.

After driving Jaxon away, he successfully took control of the higher-ups at The Dragonshade Society, making the power transfer relatively smooth. He wasn't in a rush to make changes to The Dragonshade Society yet.

The sudden leadership change had been hard for them to accept, so he gave them time to adjust.

Once they had adapted, he planned to slowly transform them, clean up their images, or use them for something else. He would figure it out as time passed.

I was relieved to hear this.

Mason was very meticulous and

thorough in his reports. It was net

wonder that my father trusted

kim

so much, even leaving all the affairs in Welsington City to him.

I then asked, "How's the apartment building I asked you to buy going?"

He replied, "We're still haggling over the price. As said, the seller is holding firm, especially after learning of your identity. He's very sharp and can tell that you're in a rush, so plan to leave him for the night. If he stiff won't budge by tomorrow, I'll

have to settle for that price."

I nodded. "Thanks for your hard work."

I didn't want to trouble Victor anymore with recent matters, so everything had

been put on Mason's shoulders.

Truthfully, I still felt a bit guilty.

Fortunately, taking down The Dragonshade Society had brought him some benefits, so at least I wasn't completely taking advantage of him.

After our two classes, we immediately took a cab to Tiffany's hotel the following day.

She seemed very happy to see me.
