Chapter 1009
“Come on, have some water,” Benjamin coaxed Darius steadily.
While giving Benjamin a stern look, Darius drank the water.
It was then that Ethen arrived with the police.
They walked up to Nick professionally. “Mr. Nick Graham, please come with us.”
In that instant, silence descended upon the bustling plaza. One by one, the crowd looked
in Nick's direction, wondering what was going on.
Just as expected of a cunning old fox, Nick was still a sea of calm as he swept his gaze
across the few police officers.
“Officers, have you made a mistake? My husband hasn't broken the law. You can't arrest
him just like that!”
Nick's wife came forward and held on to him tightly, worried that he would be taken away.
“Mr. Benjamin's car accident last night was planned by someone. We would like Mr. Nick to
come with us to facilitate our investigations. As long as your husband is innocent, we'll
definitely release him.”
The crowd immediately chattered among themselves.
“Car accident?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Benjamin was involved in an accident?”
“I haven't heard anything about it!”
“I-Is Nick the one behind it?”
“Perhaps. Haven't Nick and Bryan been at odds with Benjamin all this while? Now that the
cops are here, I think there's probably truth to the matter.”
“Brothers trying to kill one another... Since when has the Graham family ever seen such
unfilial sons?”
Brows furrowed, Darius questioned the police in a quavering voice, “What did you say?
Benjamin was involved in a car accident?”
After staring at the police, Darius shifted his attention to Benjamin. Why didn't he tell me
something as important as that? Also, why didn't I hear anything about it?
“Yes, Old Mr. Graham. On his way back to Yaleview from the Old Manor last night, Mr.
Benjamin was hit by a large truck at a junction. If not for his proficient driving skills, he
and his family might not have survived....”
The officer related the details of the accident to Darius.
Stunned by the news, Darius began to swoon as his face lost all color. Noticing his
reaction, Benjamin quickly helped his father maintain his balance.
After grabbing tightly onto Benjamin's hand, Darius took a while to recover from the
shock.
“Benjamin, why didn't you tell me?”
Darius' voice was choked as the thought of what could have happened sent a chill down
his spine.
Benjamin was with Issa and the six children last night. If anything had happened to them...
Before Darius even had the courage to think of the consequences, he felt a tight squeeze
in his heart.
“I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. We're all fine anyway. Arissa and the
children simply knocked their heads,” Benjamin explained.
“Issa, where are you hurt?” Darius gave Arissa a look of concern.
Moved by the gesture, Arissa walked up to Darius. “Dad, I'm fine. Look, it's just a scratch.”
When Darius inspected the wound, he could still see a scab on it, making it appear serious
to him.
Arissa hadn't put a bandage on it. With her hair covering the wound, no one would know
unless she revealed it herself.
“That's not a scratch at all! Why didn't you tell me about it? If I had known, I would have

Darius was overwhelmed with guilt. After leaving Arissa in Benjamin's care, he walked up
to Nick with a grave expression.
“Be honest with me. Did you do this?”
“Dad, I—”
Barely had Nick spoken when Darius gave him a slap.
Slap!
It was one where Darius didn't hold back.
The thundering clap struck fear into everyone present. The thousand friends and relatives
present were subsequently cowed into silence.
“You b*stard! How dare you harm your own brother. I'm going to kill you for this!”
Regardless of his schemes, Nick was still fearful of Darius.
This was the first time his father was so harsh to him. Previously, his elder brother was the
only one who had been brought up with a strict hand.
Now that Darius had struck him before the results of the investigation were out, Nick
figured that his father would kill him upon learning the truth.
Despite being gripped by panic, Nick denied his involvement.
“How can you say that I'm responsible before the investigation is completed? Dad, you're
making a baseless accusation!”
