My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 962 A Hypocritical Man

When Julien walked halfway, the phone in his pocket rang.

He took the phone out, cast a glance at the caller ID casually, and tapped to answer the call. "What's up?"

The call was from Zach. Hearing Julien’s question, he quickly replied, "Mr. Flint, the person we sent to watch Dallin said that Dallin took action, as he went out this afternoon."

"Where did he go?" Julien's face darkened right away.

On the other end of the phone, Zach pushed his glasses up and answered, "He went to the Benson family."

"The Benson family?" Julien narrowed his eyes. "Why did he go to the Benson family? Does he keep in touch with the Benson family?"

The Benson family, an established family in Port City, settled in the city hundreds of years ago. Different from the families dealing in business, the Benson family was a famous scholarly family and enjoyed a very good reputation. The people from the Benson family were restrained and always kept a low profile. And the Benson family didn't have close relationships with other families.

All in all, compared with other families, the Benson family was detached and separate.

But everything has an exception. The Benson family had a very good relationship with the Flint family. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

This was because Mr. Benson Sr., who had died, used to be the guard of Julien’s grandfather.

In the war years, Mr. Benson Sr. helped Julien's grandfather avoid a bullet.

Although that bullet wouldn't kill his grandfather as it wasn’t aimed at his grandfather’s heart or head, Mr. Benson Sr. had the incomparable courage to block the bullet with his body.

So, Julien was concerned with the Benson family.

And he also knew the Benson family very well. He learned that except his family, the Benson family wasn’t on good terms with other families, let alone the Sullivan family in Jackal City.

But now Dallin went to the Benson family, and Julien couldn't help doubting if he knew the Benson family adequately.

Or was it that the Benson family had always been in contact with the Sullivan family and hid their contact from the Flint family?

If so, Julien would contemplate whether to continue supporting and caring for the Benson family.

Though Mr. Benson Sr. blocked the bullet for Julien's grandfather, the Flint family repaid the kindness. When the Benson family was labeled as rebels and was about to be driven to a farm, it was Julien's grandfather who helped them out.

At that time, Julien's grandfather repaid the Benson family's kindness.

The reason why the Flint family showed support and care for the Benson family was that Julien valued the sincere relationship between Mr. Benson Sr. and his grandfather.

And it was a piece of cake for the Flint family to offer some help to the Benson family.

As decades rolled by, the Flint family was used to helping the Benson family, and they didn't bother to change the habit.

But if the Benson family had something to do with the Sullivan family covertly, Julien wouldn't let the Benson family live in peace.

Julien could be generous to the Benson family and provide support for them. But he couldn't allow them to enjoy his support and have any contact with the Sullivan family, the enemy of the Flint family, at the same time.

If this was the case, the Benson family was ungrateful.

Although Zach didn't know what Julien was thinking about, Zach could sense that his tone became cold when he learned Dallin had gone to the Benson family.

After all, Zach was also clear about the relationship between the Benson family and the Flint family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Flint. The Benson family has no connection with the Sullivan family." Zach didn't want Julien to misunderstand the Benson family, so he shook his head and replied, "I know what you are worried about. So, when I learned that Dallin went to the Benson family, I immediately investigated whether the Benson family had contacted Dallin over the years. The final investigation results show that the Benson family doesn’t contact much with other families except us, not to mention the Sullivan family."

Hearing Zach’s words, Julien felt less angry. "That's good."

The Benson family was still loyal to the Flint family.

"Have you found out why Dallin went to the Benson family?" Julien queried again and then pressed his lips.

Zach nodded. "Yes. Since there is no connection between the Benson family and the Sullivan family, I investigate why he went to the Benson family."

Julien moved his lips, and his expression became soft.

"Tell me the reason." He signaled Zach to tell him the remaining investigation results.

Zach reported to him on the remaining investigation results seriously. "Although Dallin doesn't leave the hotel during this period, our person said that his assistant had gone out several times. His assistant went to several well-known detective agencies in Port City. I specially contacted the bosses of the agencies and asked them what Dallin’s assistant intended to do. Then I learned that Dallin has been asking them to look for your mother’s grave."

"What?" Julien became startled. "Dallin has been asking them to look for my mother's grave?"

"Yes." Zach nodded.

Julien laughed with anger. "Does he want to visit my mother?"

"I think the same." Zach lowered his head. "Otherwise, why does he spend much effort looking for your mother’s grave? He went to the Benson family also for this matter. He left the Benson family after staying there for about two hours. When he left, I contacted the current head of the Benson family and asked him why Dallin had visited him. The head of the Benson family also told me that Dallin asked him if he knew where your mother's grave was. It’s known that the Benson family has a very good relationship with us. Our relationship with the Benson family is even better than that with the Cohen family. It can be said that the Benson family knows us very well. When Dallin couldn’t get the location of your mother’s grave from the agencies, he would definitely turn to the Benson family. But his attempt comes in vain."

Only Julien, Mrs. Chase and Zach knew where the grave of Julien’s mother was.

Others had no idea.

Therefore, no matter who Dallin sought for help, even the Benson family, which had a very close relationship with the Flint family, it was impossible for him to find the grave.

Julien’s laugh became malicious and frightening.

He only listened to Zach’s former words and didn't care about his latter words.

"How does he have the cheek to look for my mother’s grave and visit it? Does he think that he can show his deep love for my mother by doing this? Ridiculous!" Julien scolded.

If Dallin had really loved Julien's mother, he would definitely have prevented the Harrow family from establishing an engagement with the Flint family and made the love between him and Julien's mother public, instead of standing by and watching Julien's mother rebel against the engagement alone and have to marry Julien's father in the end. During the whole process, Dallin was a real coward.

Moreover, after Julien's mother got married, Dallin met her and made that absurd agreement with her. But he broke the agreement, slept around, and even had an illegitimate daughter. When Julien's mother was about to leave the Flint family, he even agreed to marry someone else, which completely drove Julien's mother into despair and caused her ultimately to commit suicide.

Twenty years passed after Julien's mother died. During the twenty years, Dallin had never asked about Julien's mother, nor had he come to Port City to visit her grave, as if Julien’s mother had never existed. He led a carefree life in Jackal City.

Twenty years later, he finally came to Port City, pretended to remember Julien's mother and looked for her grave to visit her.

In Julien’s view, Dallin did this not because he loved his mother deeply.

And from the very beginning, Dallin didn't love his mother very much. If he had really loved her, he wouldn’t have done so many things to hurt her.

What Dallin was doing now was just deceiving himself.

Dallin was such a typical hypocritical man!
