Chapter 162 Rebekah looked him straight in the eye. “Benjamin, you need to accept reality. No matter how close Candice and Shawn are, I am his mother. If you insist on playing the happy family in public, fine. We can go to city hall today and file for divorce. I

Chapter 156 Rebekah frowned. *Had Benjamin lost his mind p> “Don’t listen to him.” she said. Benjamin wouldn’t risk doing anything rash, not until he had the Hawthorne Group project secured. Besides, she didn’t think he was capable of murder. A slight smile touched Jensen’s lips, but he said nothing.
