Chapter 987
The children nodded and hurriedly finished the milk.
“Just put the glasses aside. I'll wash them while you go to sleep.”
Arissa knew the children were tired. In fact, they were already sleepy when they left Old
Manor, and it was almost eleven o'clock by then.
“Mommy, are you going to sleep too?”
Zachary darted a glance between her and the door.
“I'm going to sleep with all of you,” said Arissa as she patted his head.
When the children had finished their milk, she went to wash the glasses before returning
to the room to put them to bed.
“Let's sleep!”
The children surrounded her, and she hugged them.
“Mommy, is Daddy still busy with his work?” Gavin glanced at the door, worried about
Benjamin.
“Yeah. He told us to sleep first.”
Hugging the children, Arissa planted a kiss on each of their foreheads. “Go to sleep!”
“Goodnight, Mommy!”

The children, too, returned her pecks on her cheeks before drifting off to sleep.
Then, Arissa pulled the covers over them and tucked them in.
Just as she was dozing off, the sound of a car engine came from downstairs. Someone's
here.
Arissa pricked up her ears, but she heard nothing from downstairs.
Is it Ethen? Or is it someone else?
The truth was, the guests who had just arrived downstairs were Ethen and Jack.
The moment they arrived, they headed straight to the study to report to Benjamin.
“Mr. Graham, that incident with that drunk driver might seem like an accident, but we
found out that a million was transferred into his mother's bank account two hours ago...”
Benjamin instantly narrowed his eyes. This person knows of my whereabouts. In fact, they
know it well.
“Mr. Graham, this person must've been following you for some time for them to have so
much information about your whereabouts.” Jack's brows were tightly furrowed. He could
not wait to uncover that person's identity.
“Did you find out who made the transfer?” Benjamin directed his gaze toward Ethen.
Looking at him, Ethen replied, “This sum of money went through several transactions. Our
last lead was from a foreign account. We haven't found anyone specifically related to this
case.”
As Benjamin lowered his gaze and tapped his finger on the chair's armrest, Ethen and Jack
merely stared at him, not daring to say anything.
“Look into Bryan's and Brandon's bank accounts.”
Both Ethen and Jack immediately exchanged glances. “Mr. Graham, are you suspecting—”
Benjamin scoffed, “Bryan went looking for me at Old Manor just that night. He knows best
about my whereabouts.”
With that, Ethen and Jack hurriedly began the investigation.
It was not until midnight that they got some results.
“Mr. Graham, I found something.” Ethen looked at Benjamin.
“Speak!” Benjamin nodded, gesturing for him to continue.
“The money was transferred out of the bank account of Brandon Graham's brother-in-law.”
Benjamin sneered. Hah. To think that they're my biological brothers. If I had died tonight,
they would definitely be fine. Even if someone were to look into the accident, they would
only suspect Bryan more. Alas, Brandon has completely underestimated my capabilities.
“That cunning old fox. How dare he use his brother-in-law to take the blame?” Jack fumed.

Benjamin's car.
“Find the record of them giving the order,” Benjamin instructed.
Ethen and Jack inclined their heads in acknowledgment, then got busy.
Looking for the most important evidence would take them a lot of time. Hence, Ethen
advised, “Mr. Graham, please get some rest. This might take us a long time to
investigate.”
“Okay.” Benjamin nodded in agreement.
However, he did not head upstairs to rest right away.
Instead, he gave Kingsley a call and told the latter to get over to Yaleview as soon as
possible.
The moment Kingsley arrived, Benjamin explained everything to him before heading
upstairs.
Arissa and the children were already asleep. Thus, he sat by the bed and watched them
for a while.
Afterward, he adjusted the covers and brought some medication to apply to Arissa's
forehead.
She was not in a deep sleep yet, so she woke up the second Benjamin touched her wound.
“You're here,” she murmured.
“Yes,” Benjamin responded softly and continued applying the medication.
