The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 286

Benji looked at the ground and said seriously, "Even if I've offended you, I hope this won't affect your relationship with Kate. She's very innocent, and even if she occasionally does things that are hard to fathom, it's only because she doesn’t know it's wrong. Her mother left when she was very young, and none of us taught her about these things.

That's why she's so naive. So, please blame me for everything she's done wrong."

After saying these things, Benji seemed to regain his strength. He raised his head and looked at Darius, continuing, "I know you're a kind and reasonable man."
