Chapter 1696 The Relationship Between Alexander and Benson
“You don’t know about this?” Emery was taken aback but quickly explained after realizing that there
had to be something going on. “I only got to know from the club’s employees. It’s been three days since
she left. She didn’t say anything else other than she was going overseas.”
Upon hearing that, I could not help but let out a sigh. Perhaps the memories are too hard for her to
bear. Thus, she wants to take a break from reality.
However, it was unsafe for a woman to be alone overseas. Therefore, I quickly asked Ashton, “Can you
ask Holden to send his men to find Summer?”
Without answering, he stood up and walked to the balcony to make the phone call.
Emery noticed the strange atmosphere and asked, “What happened to him? Is it about Summer?”
It looks like Ashton’s ability to conceal his emotions had deteriorated for even Emery to find out.
I shook my head and hoped Emery to give some advice. “Nathaniel brought an old friend from J City
two days ago. Since then, Ashton started to behave weirdly. It’s as if the old friend has dirt on him. Do
you think that’s possible?”
“Who’s dirt? Ashton’s?” Emery immediately shook her head. “No way. No one in this world can be an
opponent to him.” She stopped for a moment before tip-toeing to me and whispering, “Perhaps the sex Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
is not going so well for you two?”
I rolled my eyes in exasperation. “Let’s get back to the topic.”
However, Emery simply shrugged and replied placidly, “I don’t have a clue, then. Nobody can guess
what Ashton is thinking about.”
I know that. However, I don’t want to give up and admit that I’m useless. Despite my strong will, there’s
nothing I could do other than pray that Ashton could overcome it himself.
After a pause in the conversation, Emery asked about Benson. “Why was Benson here today?”
“I wanted to ask about this too.” I stared deep into her eyes. “How did you know each other?”
Benson and Alexander both had the same surname. Plus, Emery had brought up the fact that the
Zimmerman family was a military family. Therefore, both of them might be related.
Emery’s reaction confirmed my suspicions.
She pursed her lips and glared at me. “Don’t look at me like that. This isn’t any secret. Alexander’s
family background is all over the internet after being investigated by those crazy fans. There’s not even
a need to ask me about it. Can we change the topic to something more refreshing?”
“So you admit that Benson is Alexander’s brother?”
With a sigh, Emery answered impatiently, “That’s right. Why are you asking me when you already knew
the answer?”
“I’m just curious.” I smiled bitterly and drooped my eyelids. It seems like Emery isn’t lying. Based on
Benson’s attitude, it looks like the Zimmerman family disapproves of their relationship.
To satisfy her curiosity, I decided to explain the incident just now. “He’s here to ask about the two men
that we encountered recently. Besides that, he also agreed to provide us protection.”
If Alexander and Emery got married, the Zimmerman family and the Moore family would be related.
Therefore, it could be said that Benson had handled the incident without bias.
“Oh.” Emery nodded her head, trying to pretend as if she did not care. When in reality, her orbs had
given her away.
Soon, Ashton came back inside. “It’s confirmed that Summer is currently in M Country. Holden is
sending his men over there.”
“That’s great.” As Holden was a responsible person, I did not need to worry much about it.
Suddenly, Emery’s phone started to ring. After seeing who was calling, she looked at me curiously.
“The club is calling me.”
