Meanwhile, Isabella's eyes were wide with shock as she looked at Benjamin. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.Benjamin shrugged casually, trying to maintain an air of nonchalance. "Benjamin Hayes?" h

Chapter 526: The Shock of a Ghost
It was her, his ex-girlfriend from Elysian campusShe looked a bit different now, not as polished as before, but there was no mistake, it was really her standing thereBenjamin stayed where he was, still holding his phone, watching her quietly as the past suddenly crossed his mind againDorothy Foster took her change from the cab driver, adjusted the strap of her worn shoulder bag, and turned toward the grand entrance of Spring Villa Estate.She took a step forward, but stopped dead in her tracks.Standing right next to a car parked by the security gate was a man. He was dressed simply but neatly, looking over at her with an expression she couldn't quite decode. Dorothy blinked, rubbing her eyes as if the afternoon sun was playing tricks on her.The familiar structure of his face, the posture, the voice that had just spoken her name, it all hit her at once, shattering her exhausted composure."Ben… Benjamin?" Dorothy’s voice cracked. Her eyes widened to the size of saucers, and she in

Benjamin let out a small sigh and looked at him. “Mixtic… did you have to stress yourself and come here? You could have rested at home and come tomorrow.”Mixtic shook his head immediately. “That’s not possible, young master, you’ve been gone for almost a year, it’s not possible for me to hear of your return and not come to see you.”Benjamin looked at him for a moment, then nodded lightly without saying anything more.Mixtic then turned his gaze to Cordelia, he bowed his head respectfully. “Madam,” he said.Cordelia nodded softly, she wanted to respond but didn’t even know what to say, so she just gave a small smile and stayed quietBenjamin looked at Mixtic and said, “Come in, you should have a meal,” but Mixtic shook his head slightly, “Young master, there’s no need, we only came to see you and check around,”“You came all the way here, you’ll sit and eat first, then we can talk,” Benjamin insisted Mixtic tried again, “It’s really not necessary—”“You came all this way, you’ll sit

The convoy moved through the streets in a long line, one car after the other, steady and controlled. It wasn’t rushing, but it wasn’t slow either, just enough to make people notice.Heads began to turn, people on the roadside paused, some stepping back a little as the cars passed. Others pulled out their phones immediately, recording.“Wait… what is this?” someone said.“Who’s that?” another asked, already zooming in with their camera.The cars kept moving, clean and organized, no noise, no chaos, just presence.A few people started walking along the sidewalk just to keep watching, others stood still, following the convoy with their eyes.“This looks serious,” someone muttered.“Is it some politician or what?” another voice came.Videos were already being taken from different angles, some people even posting immediately, captions going up fast.“Something big is happening in Elysian.”“Who owns this kind of convoy?”On that same street, as the convoy kept moving, a lady was walking by
Chapter 523: Mixtic Hears of Benjamin's Return
Cordelia climbed back onto him, sitting comfortably as before. “It’s between my mother-in-law and I,” she whispered, teasingly brushing a kiss along his neck. “Don't gossip, sir.”Benjamin let out a soft chuckle. “Oh wow… women, fear them,” he said lightly.He looked at her again. “Now that we’re back, what’s your plan? What are you going to do?”Cordelia grew quiet for a moment, her expression turning thoughtful. “My friend Hannah… before we left for Denmark, I told her I’d be back in a week and asked her to look after my restaurant, but we’ve been gone almost a year now… I don’t even know what she must be thinking. She might think I’m dead or something,” she said softly. “And my mart too… I wonder how everything has been managed. The rent and all.”Benjamin nodded slowly. He wasn’t worried about the mart at all, since he secretly owned the stores and was confident Ezra had ensured everything was handled properly without her knowing.“By the way,” Cordelia added, looking at him, “y
Chapter 522: Back To Elysian II
The convoy moved smoothly through the quiet evening streets of Elysian as they drove deeper into the private district where Benjamin’s residence was located.Soon, the tall gates of the estate opened automatically as the vehicles approached and the cars drove inside the large compound and slowed to a stop in front of the mansion. The engines went quiet one after the other.A guard stepped forward and opened the car door.Benjamin stepped out first, the cool evening air brushed his face, and he paused for a moment, looking around the familiar compound. The wide driveway, the neatly trimmed gardens, the calm glow of lights around the house—it all felt the same.He took a slow breath, it felt good to be back. Benjamin then turned and reached his hand inside the car. Cordelia placed her hand in his, and he gently helped her step out, she looked around as well, taking in the large estate that now felt like home again.Benjamin slipped his arm lightly around her waist.Without saying much,

At that same moment, the driver whose wife had undergone surgery for fibroids arrived at the estate. He stepped out of the car quickly and respectfully greeted them before moving to pick up their luggage. With careful hands, he placed the suitcases neatly into the trunk. Once everything was set, Benjamin and Cordelia got into the back seat, and the car slowly drove away from the estate gates. As they moved through the streets, Cordelia rested her head gently on Benjamin’s chest. Benjamin wrapped one arm around her shoulders, holding her close. The city they had spent nearly a year in passed by outside the window, familiar but already beginning to feel distant. Benjamin looked toward the front seat and asked, “How is your wife?” The driver’s face lit up instantly. “Boss, the surgery was successful,” he said excitedly. “She’s still at the hospital receiving treatment and recovering well. The doctors said everything went perfectly.” His voice softened with gratitude. “I don’t even know
