Chapter 1085 Business Trip

“What a heartless man! Was he pretending the whole time when he was being nice to us?” fumed Vivian as she stepped into the elevator. “He used to treat Danna so well but is turning on her now. What are we going to do now that he's refused to help us?”

“What else can we do? We've asked everyone we could. There's nothing else we can do now unless Benjamin lets it go,” stated Zayden grimly.

Danna gripped his arm in desperation. “Darling, why don't we try begging Benjamin? After all, he used to be nice to Danna.”

“To beg him, we'll first need to meet him, but he's not answering our calls at the moment and is totally unreachable. Besides, he's now with that woman. What makes you think he cares what happens to Danna?”

If Benjamin cared about Danna, he wouldn't have allowed Jonathan to be so harsh on her, causing our side to be at a total disadvantage in court earlier.

Zayden was just as anxious, but he was at a loss too.

Tears sprang forth in Vivian's eyes as she exclaimed, “Does that mean Danna will have to go to prison? That poor girl! She's my only daughter!”

Seeing as Darius declined to help, she had little hope that Benjamin would react any differently.

“What a ruthless bunch of folks! It's all that b*tch's fault. If it weren't for her, none of these would have happened to Danna!”

Before that b*tch came back, Danna was fine. If only I could send her to prison myself!

Resentment flashed across Vivian's eyes as she thought about Arissa.

Zayden's expression was equally unpleasant. “Let's not talk about this first, and you should tone down a little. We may still have a chance if we can meet them and plead with them personally.”

“Let's do that now, then. We have no time to lose,” urged Vivian, her eyes burning with desperation.

They were both at their wits' ends since Benjamin and Arissa refused to meet them. They had thought that hiring a lawyer would exonerate Danna, but they did not expect that the lawyer would catch them off their guard by changing his mind at the last minute.

Above all, they did not expect that Danna would receive such a heavy sentence. Their last resort now was to find Benjamin and Arissa.

Maybe if we approach them with a good attitude, they may show some mercy and let Danna go.

The person they were so desperately looking for was, in fact, in the same hospital.

However, being unaware of that, the couple went to Graham Group instead.

The moment Ethen received the phone call from the office, he knew at once what those two were playing at.

“Don't let them enter the office!” he instructed.

In the ward, Darius had a dark expression on his face.

“Old Mr. Graham, don't work yourself up over those people. They're purely shameless!” William coaxed despite being just as furious himself.

“Get me a glass of water,” ordered Darius, waving his hand.

William hurriedly poured him a glass of warm water and passed it to him.

“Be careful, Old Mr. Graham. It's hot.”

Darius took the glass and sipped on the water.

“Benjamin isn't back from his business trip yet?”

“No,” answered William, shaking his head.

He snuck a glance at Darius as the latter took another sip of water and did not dare mention that Arissa was hospitalized.

If Edwin hadn't let it slip earlier, he might not even have been aware of it himself.

Although it was good news that Arissa was pregnant, since she was hospitalized due to an unstable pregnancy, it was better to keep this news from Darius in the meantime.

“Why isn't he back yet? Weren't they very anxious about Danna's case?” Darius thought it was odd.

“Don't worry about this, Old Mr. Graham. You should have a good rest. I'll be sure to let you know at once when Mr. Graham and Mrs. Graham are back,” William reassured.

Taking the glass from Darius' hand, he thought about whether to pay Arissa a visit.

However, in the end, he decided that it might not be the best idea to leave Darius alone in the ward. Instead, he merely stepped outside to call Benjamin to inform the latter about Zayden's recent visit.

To his surprise, Benjamin was also in the hospital.

William quickly went upstairs to look for him while Darius was sleeping.

“Mr. Graham,” he greeted in a low voice, glancing at the sleeping Arissa with concern.

“Let's speak outside.” Benjamin stood up at once and headed out of the ward.
