Chapter 936 - The Old Branch

The old branch of a tree falls, and a new one takes its place. It's the natural order of things, the rule of this world…" 

Gloria scoffed coldly, her bitterness evident. "Still, sometimes I just don't understand, Ben. There are so few people I trust who haven't betrayed me. You're one of the rare few, and for that, I'm truly grateful." 

Her words, tinged with sorrow and frustration, seemed to echo in the stillness, a testament to the burden she carried. 

Benjamin's voice carried a subtle edge of restrained anger as he continued, "It's not your fault for placing your trust in them, Madam. They wasted your good intentions."
