Chapter 704

"It's not their fault. It's all mine. I got them involved," April choked out.

"Don't blame yourself. No one wanted this outcome," Vincent said, sitting down next to her on the bed. His face was grim, his eyes cold.

"We really underestimated Bennett. He was shot from behind, yet he managed to avoid a fatal wound. After waking up, he remembered everyone's position and pinpointed your cousin with perfect accuracy."

"I told you before, a man like Bennett is best kept as an ally. Making an enemy of him is asking for trouble."

April sighed.

"What could I do? It's not like Yolanda could hold his interest," Vincent said, patting her shoulder with a hint of impatience.

Yolanda's poor health since childhood had consumed a great deal of his energy.

If Yolanda hadn't needed a kidney transplant, Vincent never would have resorted to illegal means, starting him down this path of no return.

When Yolanda's condition worsened so suddenly the second time, he couldn't find a suitable donor. He had secretly kidnapped Flora Moore-the heiress of the Moore family and Bennett's cousin which was an enormous risk.

At the time, both the Moore and Thompson families were investigating the matter, and Vincent had almost been exposed.

Yolanda had been nothing but trouble for him his entire life, yet she was utterly useless. She couldn't secure Bennett back then, and her relationship with Eden now wasn't much better.

If Yolanda weren't his only daughter, Vincent would have given up on her long ago. But thankfully, April had come through for him and was about to give him a son.

"Your cousin is so careful and resourceful, yet even he couldn't get rid of Bennett. It'll be even harder for us to eliminate him in the future. Everyone knows Frank Thompson dotes on Bennett. As long as Bennett is around, Eden will never take over. Your plan to have Yolanda marry him was a waste."

April said worriedly.

"We'll take it one step at a time. Don't you worry about it; I'll handle everything," Vincent reassured her, his gaze softening as it fell on her pregnant belly.

"The most important thing for you right now is to give birth to our son safely." "I will,” April smiled, resting her head on his shoulder with a look of pure adoration.

After leaving the wedding reception, Bennett and Yvonne went to get some sushi.

As Yvonne was taking a bite of her roll, Bennett's phone, which was on the table, buzzed.

Bennett picked it up, unlocked the screen, and stared intently at the video playing. "What are you watching so seriously?" Yvonne asked.

"Some gossip. Want to see?" Bennett smiled, holding the phone out to her.

Yvonne leaned in to look at the screen.

It was security footage from the hotel where Eden and Yolanda had their wedding.

In the hallway, Cynthia and Noah ran into each other.

But as they were parting ways, Cynthia suddenly stumbled, and Noah instinctively caught her. Then,

Karina rushed into the frame and

the three of them began to argue.

From the looks of it, Karina clearly didn't come out on top. They all left on bad terms.

"How did you get the hotel's security footage?" Yvonne asked after watching.

"It's a Thompson family hotel, and it
