Chapter 760 Chapter 760: Erica’s face was etched with grief, and as the mistress of the Benton family, she forced herself to remain composed in front of the board members. A few of the directors cared only about profit. Whether Bruce had been poisoned meant nothing to them. To them,

Chapter 754 Chapter 754: “How is Grandpa?” Rupert asked, tense. Annabel looked at the elderly man and spoke gently. “Bruce, don’t worry. You’re recovering very well. Your indicators should stabilize in three days at most. When that happens, I’ll treat you personally. You’ll recover completely and be in great shape
