Since it had been proven that the four children had Paxton blood, of course, Benjamin couldn't just abandon them. He put the four children in Red Rosemary because he knew his father inherited this place upon Daniel.

Somehow his mother let her husband inherited this place on her stepson, even though she often tried to take everything Chloe had indirectly. He never could understand why his mother let the beautiful housing go just like that, but he was grateful his mother did.

At that time, when Chloe left this world, his mother also left him two years later. He was still mourning and adapting that he had been left alone, yet four little girls appeared into his life abruptly. 

In the beginning, he disliked the drastic change and only accepted them out of pity, but his feelings shifted into affection when he saw the girls grow up. They were adorable and loveable. Not to mention, Catherine's face reminded him of his beloved sister.

He felt guilty for Chloe because his mother made Chloe separate from her brother. Because of that, he wanted to make up for it by handing all of Paxton's property to Daniel's eldest daughter. In this way, Benjamin could tell the world that he was not related by blood to Paxton. And he could get out of the Paxton family and run his own hotel business.

At least, if he saw that Catherine and her sisters could carry on with Paxton's endeavors, he could break free and pursue his own happiness. He could get married, had several children then spent the rest of his life with his family in peace.

Although Martin and James would never like Catherine and would try to attack her, he was sure that Cathy would handle it well. Cathy was not the true heiress, so they would not target her life. That was his plan ever since he decided to prepare Cathy as the Paxton member. The plan he had drawn up was so neatly without a flaw.

But the plan was useless when he learned that Catherine was truly the right successor of the most priceless Paxton's legacy. Even without giving it back, the girl would have been able to grab Paxton's legacy right away without even trying.

Even though he was willing to return everything he handled to Cathy, he felt reluctant to let the girl suffer the same fate as Chloe.

Nobody ever told him what happened to Chloe that night. All he ever heard was Chloe's body was found in a cheap hostel room, and Vincent was found dying hours later.

Remembering he lost his two dear family members, causing him to have a heartache. He remembered Vincent paid a visit for him as he secretly went back to New York City to surprise his sister.

But, that cousin of his behaved unusually, and he could not make a joke of him. He believed something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint his finger.

When he finished showering, he could no longer find his cousin and found out that Vincent instead took his phone.

Hours later, he got news his sister found dead in some cheap motel room... raped by some unknown guy before they killed her mercilessly. And then... his aunt, Mrs. Regnz, told him that they found Vincent on the street with a bullet in his chest and a knife stabbed in his lower abdomen.

Vincent almost died that day. No. It was a miracle that he could survive and still alive when he arrived at the hospital.

His body was entirely covered with old scars, and on his abdomen, there were new scars caused by the knife. In his left chest was found a bullet that nearly scratched his heart. And his head was bleeding as if someone knocked his head with a boulder.

Neither Benjamin nor the Regnz family could imagine what Vincent went through to get so many wounds.

But one thing was sure. Vincent got severely injured after getting a call from Chloe. After more than half a year of being unconscious, Vincent finally woke up and experienced amnesia. He had no recollection of what had happened a few days before he was found.

Since then, the whole Regnz family hated Chloe, who was no longer in this world. They didn't even attend Chloe's funeral. They also refused to see Benjamin for years until finally Vienna relented and opened her arm to her one and only nephew.

But Vienna and her family didn't want anything to do with Paxton. They only showed their hospitality every time they meet to commemorate Chloeny's death. Even though they hated Chloeny to the bone, they would not let others think that Vincent caused the Paxton lady's death.

They would not want to let them think that the Regnz family was guilty as they had done nothing wrong. Furthermore, they didn't want Vincent to feel suspicious and continue to wonder about what happened that night.

That's why they act like ordinary friends whenever they meet in Eastern Wallace, but they would avoid running into a Paxton member on the street.

Only Benjamin knew of an invisible war between Paxton and Regnz, but he pretended not to know. After all, he would soon be out of the Paxton name, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Unfortunately... now he can't get away. He couldn't just introduce the world that Catherine would inherit Paxton's fortune. He couldn't pursue his happiness, and he even had to let it go.

Before Catherine's identity was exposed, he tried to find a way to get Catherine away from this country without the other Paxton members knowing. He was sure Clarissa had seen Cathy's face in Pina last month. Whether Martin would find out or not, he didn't dare take the risk.

He had to make sure Cathy's face was hidden from the camera and was convinced that the Paxton members would not link Catherine with Paxton.

"Why are you hiding the fact that you are taking care of Chloe's daughter?"

Benjamin's shock was beyond his imagination to hear the voice of his cousin. He did not even hear the door to his room open, and someone penetrated his penthouse.

Wait.... how did Vincent find out Cathy's identity?
