Chapter 1265
Maxine’s thoughts occupied her brain.
After giving it some consideration, she felt it was necessary to inform James about what had taken place.
After all, Bennett could have been ambushed and gone into hiding. What’s more, Thomas could not care less about the Cadens‘ affairs.
In contrast, James was the only one in the Cadens that could make accurate judgements about the situation.
“James.”
“Hmm?”
James turned around and looked at Maxine. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he asked, “What’s the matter? Did something happen?”
Maxine chose her words carefully. “There’s something I must tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
Maxine explained, “Before you regained consciousness, Grandpa summoned me to the underground basement. Down there, there was a pool of blood on the floor. Grandpa panicked when he saw it and suddenly ran away. I suspect…”
She told him everything, what she saw, and her speculations.
“What?”
James furrowed his brows. “Are you suggesting that Tobias attacked Bennett?”
Maxine nodded tentatively. “I’m not certain, but this is a very likely possibility.”
Callan was beside them and overheard the conversation. He asked with a serious look, “Did you personally see Bennett go into the basement?”
Maxine shook her head. “No, I didn’t see him.”
Callan said spikily, “Don’t go about spreading nonsense if you didn’t see it with your own eyes. You’re simply speculating. Bennett said he was going to recuperate and restore his True Energy. He must still be somewhere inside the Cadens‘ mansion. You should look around before coming to any conclusions.”
“I agree. Maxine, get the Cadens to look around the mansion for him.” James nodded in agreement.
Maxine left the group and headed to the front yard.
Soon, Thea returned and noticed James‘ worried expression. She tried asking him about it, “Honey, what’s the matter? Did something happen?”
