After Benedict hung up on the call, he immediately turned back and found a better place to hide himself.
Sure enough, after a while, Jonathan walked out with a box in his hand.
He heard Carol reminding Jonathan, "You should take good care of yourself when you're out alone. If you face any difficulties, come back!"
"Got it!" Jonathan's face was filled with impatience.
Then, he waved his hand and left quickly. His footsteps were light and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Benedict quietly followed behind Jonathan until he walked to the side of the road.
When Carol and the rest were out of sight, Jonathan took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Has my ticket to Vegaland been prepared? I'm going to the airport right now! Last time, I didn't have any money, but this time it's different! I'm going to play a good round with you all and earn back all the money I lost before!"
Benedict's lips curled up slightly. His suspicion that Jonathan had ulterior motives were true.
No words were needed to explain how a person like him could make a fortune so suddenly!
Benedict was about to go out and grab him, but he was held down by a pair of hands behind him.
"Hold on."
It was Harley.
Although Benedict's suspicions were seemingly true, since he said that he would start a fight, as his father, Harley could not just sit by and do nothing!
Furthermore, Benedict was in poor health. If something bad happened to him, he would definitely have regrets!
"Dad!" Benedict was puzzled. So, he asked, "You don't believe me, do you?"
"You're my son, so of course I believe you!" Harley laughed. "Stop talking, he's leaving!"
"Then, what should we do next?" Benedict asked.
"Let's follow him to the airport to see what kind of person he is in contact with. This way, we can find other clues!"
Benedict could not help but admire Harley. The older, the wiser!
Just as he was thinking, a car arrived. Jonathan got into the car, and Benedict also got into
Harley's car in a hurry.
The car drove directly to the airport.
After that, Jonathan waited for a while in the lobby. When Harley returned from his round outside, he saw that Benedict was still nervous. He could not help but pat him on the shoulder.
"Relax, I've just looked at the flight information. The next flight to Vegaland isn't for another hour!"
Upon hearing that, Benedict finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you hungry?" Harley handed a cup of coffee and some donuts to Benedict. "Eat a bit to fill your stomach."
Benedict did not eat the donut and only took a sip of the coffee.
"It's too sweet!"
Harley raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you like sweet drinks?"
Benedict pressed his lips together but stayed quiet.
Harley sighed, "Do you think I don't know that you've never liked sweet things? It's only because Naomi likes it so you like it too."
"It's the same as your body not being suitable for practicing self- defense, but you still wanted to practice with Naomi. Benedict, it's not that I'm not confident in your abilities, but sometimes men don't have to be so persistent. Giving up on someone properly isn't only for others' good, but for your own as well!"
Benedict was not convinced as he replied, "Dad, I'm only 20 years old. How can you be so certain about my entire life?"
Harley said helplessly, "What's so good about Naomi?"
"Then, what's so good about Mom?"
Harley choked and shut his mouth.
"Forget it, I can't fight you! It's up to you!"
Benedict was also a little angry as he said, "Initially, I didn't want to tell you this but you were the one who tried to talk me out of liking Naomi!"
After that, he stood up and was ready to change his seat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he bumped into someone.
