Three days later, Liam got better and could get out of bed.
Benjamin held a party to express his apology to Renee and the others.
Before attending the party, Leia held Renee's hand, frightened. "Is he plotting something?"
After all, they had witnessed Benjamin's craziness. He could even kill his only daughter! It seemed unlikely that this was just an ordinary party.
"Don't be scared. We can fight them if worse comes to worst," Justin said casually as he walked behind them. He found a spot and sat in front of them.
The army Austin had promised Renee was already on guard outside of the party, hence Justin's confidence. Besides, the Baldwin family was informed beforehand to come assist them if anything went wrong.
Since he had absolute power, he was fearless.
"You're right. We can still fight them. I'd like to see what tricks that crazy Benjamin is trying to pull." Leia said.
She stopped taking things too seriously, and casually walked into the place and took her seat. Xavier, sitting beside her, was talking happily to Benjamin.
At the center, beautiful women in traditional clothes were dancing. There was a table full of exotic delicacies. The party seemed like a harmonious and happy reunion.
Macsen had nearly killed all of them, but Benjamin didn't punish him whatsoever. Instead, he allowed Macsen to take an important seat, as if the latter were the host. It was humiliating for Renee and the others.
Macsen glared at Renee, his eyes radiating cold fury. "Are you saying I added poison to the wine?"
"I didn't say that," Renee said mildly; how easily it was to infuriate Macsen! "But you can't wait to admit to it."
"How dare you!" Macsen snarled.
