Chapter 1087 Scram

Benjamin's eyes flickered as he flicked her nose again.

“Look who's blushing!” he teased, gazing at her dotingly.

Arissa glared at him in exasperation and retorted indignantly, “I'm not!”

“Aren't you?” Benjamin leaned over intimately, his hot breath brushing against her cheeks as he spoke.

Arissa's heart fluttered as she caught a whiff of the seductive scent on his body.

She turned away in embarrassment as she repeated softly, “I'm not!”

Seeing her embarrassed yet stubborn expression, Benjamin merely smiled in amusement and did not pick on her anymore.

He reached out to pull up her covers for her and uttered in a gentle tone, “You should get some sleep. I'll stop teasing you now!”

Arissa gazed at him with a smile gracing her lips as he stood up and walked away.

Meanwhile, at Graham Group, Zayden and Vivian were still waiting downstairs, thinking that Benjamin was in the office.

Ethen returned to the hospital after having lunch with Shaun and the others and received a phone call from the office. After hearing that Zayden was still waiting downstairs, he chuckled mockingly.

However, he did not inform Benjamin about this since the latter appeared to be busy. He also did not think it was necessary to risk ruining Benjamin's mood over something so trivial.

Shaun and Jonathan took a look at Arissa. Since she was resting, they decided not to disturb her and soon left.

Benjamin lifted his gaze, looking toward Bradley, who was still standing there. “Yes? Anything?”

Taken aback by his sharp gaze and stern voice, Bradley shuddered unwittingly as he stammered, “N- No! Nothing!”

Smiling sheepishly, he then fled from the ward.

As for Ethen, he followed Bradley out of the ward as well, as he had to return to the office to settle some work matters.

“Aren't you leaving?” he asked Bradley.

“I'm leaving in another while to pick up the kids,” said Bradley, shrugging nonchalantly.

Benjamin cocked a brow. “Well, just don't go back in to bother Mr. Graham. He doesn't want to see you.”

Bradley didn't know what to say in response.

Ethen chuckled. “If you're bored, you can come back with me to the office. Zayden and his wife are waiting at the entrance there, which is pretty annoying.”

“What are they waiting for? Are they hoping to beg for mercy from Mr. Graham?” Bradley boiled with rage.

Who do they think they are? They're just like Ms. Adams—arrogant and disgusting! Looks like the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

“I'll go back to the office with you.” With that, Bradley went with Ethen.

When they arrived at Graham Group, Zayden and Vivian were indeed still there. Zayden immediately approached Ethen.

“Ethen, is Benjamin in the office? Please pass him the word that I would like to see him.” As Zayden was asking for a favor, his tone was polite and humble, but the same could not be said about the expression in his eyes.

“Do you think he should meet you just because you want him to? Do you really have no shame?” Bradley reproached derisively. “Don't even think about begging for mercy from Mr. Graham. The fact that he hasn't done anything to you himself is already an act of mercy. If you continue to bother us here, don't blame us for being ruthless. Get lost!”

Seeing Bradley erupting with anger, Ethen couldn't help the smile that crept onto his lips.

“Who are you? What makes you think you can talk to us like that?” Zayden's face was black as thunder, and he did not bother being courteous toward Bradley.

“Look at their attitude! I dare say if their family has a stronger background, they will definitely destroy us all. What a joke! Their daughter turns out to be a criminal, yet they're here being all snobbish and trying to beg for mercy on her behalf. Do they take us all for fools? What makes them think that after they've harmed someone, the victim's family members should forgive them? People like them should be severely punished by the law!” Bradley turned toward Ethen, dissing the couple heatedly and without pause, giving them no opportunity to interject.

Zayden's and Vivian's unpleasant expressions intensified. Before they could say another word, however, Ethen urged them to leave.

“Mr. Graham is not going to see you. You'd better leave! If you stay here and continue affecting our company's operations, we're going to have to call the cops.”

“That's right! Scram!” snapped Bradley, shooting daggers at the two.

“What the hell is wrong with you!” Vivian could not help but swear at him.
