Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 547

Numerous cigarette butts littered the ground at Noah's feet. It looked like he'd been here for a while.

Bennett tapped a cigarette out of the pack and held it between his fingers.

Seeing this, Noah offered him his lighter.

Bennett cupped his hands around the flame, lit the cigarette, and took a deep drag. Then he heard Noah ask, "How... how is she? Has she been doing well all these years?"

"She seems fine," Bennett said, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Cynthia is a strong woman. The broken engagement affected her, but it won't break her."

"Right. She's the eldest daughter of the Scott family. With Mr. Scott Sr. backing her and her parents planning for her, no one would dare let her suffer." Noah couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Look at me, worrying for nothing."

Cynthia's fiancé had cheated on her, keeping a college student who hadn't even graduated as his mistress.

Cynthia had broken off the engagement without any hesitation. Her ex-fiancé got nothing out of it, losing nearly half his fortune in the process. The college girl was expelled, her reputation ruined.

Bennett smoked a cigarette with Noah. After stubbing it out, he patted Noah on the shoulder.

"Noah, you should go home. It's getting cold. You'll catch a chill if you stay out here too long."

"Yeah." Noah seemed to take the advice. He put out his cigarette, coughed a few times, and got into his car.

Bennett stood there and watched Noah's car drive away before turning and heading back to his own.

"Noah didn't seem to be in a good mood," Yvonne commented to Bennett.

"You barely ate anything at the Scotts' place. How about I take you out for food?" Bennett asked, his hands on the steering wheel.

"I'm full of anger thanks to your esteemed Miss Thompson. I don't need to eat," Yvonne huffed.

At the mention of Vanessa, Bennett's eyes turned cold.

"Vanessa and her family won't be leaving Istra anytime soon. My grandmother was hospitalized for heart failure last week, and it was serious. All she cares about are Eden and Vanessa. If we kick Vanessa out of the country now, the shock would probably kill her. And my father, the ever-filial son, will definitely do whatever she wants."

"This time it was a transport company and that plot of land in Riverbend. Next time, my grandmother will probably make some deathbed request, and he might just hand over the entire Thompson Group to that bastard son."

Bennett's voice was laced with sarcasm. "If my mother hadn't had the foresight to transfer the Thompson Group shares to my name, who knows whose hands the company would be in now."
