C39 Ben Will React If Mike Is Noticed

Quinton blinked in confusion. “Young Master… these changes were made under Mr. Wood’s instructions. He specifically asked for new flowers to be planted.”

He paused, trying to remain respectful. “But if there is an issue, I can remove them immediately.” Tracy frowned slightly, now even more confused. “If those were Kelvin’s instructions… then why remove them?” For a moment, no one answered.

The air felt tense, but unclear. Eventually, she sighed and turned away, walking back toward the house without another word.

Quinton stood there for a moment, unsure of what exactly had just happened.

As the sun began to set, the air grew colder. Quinton stood alone in the garden, wearing his work gloves, continuing his task quietly under the fading light.

His face looked pale, not from illness, but from heavy thoughts he could not express.

Earlier that day, Michael had achieved something significant at work. He had saved a major system from a security threat and earned recognition from the company. But instead of celebration, Quinton could only think about the consequences behind it.

If Michael was being noticed… then Ben would not stay silent. He worked in silence, carefully removing the flowers he had been instructed to plant only hours before.

From a distance, Ben stood watching him. He leaned casually near the balcony, observing the scene below with a faint, satisfied smile.

“That’s what you get,” Ben muttered to himself, barely audible. “For raising someone who thinks he can compete with me.”

His eyes followed Quinton’s movements with quiet amusement, as though this was nothing more than a small reminder of control.
