It took Ben some time to calm himself down, Kevan patiently accompanied him, and even helped him
unpack everything, putting the things back where they had come from.
Ben got someone to make them some hot tea before serving a full cup to Kevan.
“This is the new tea that Peighdale sent over to Old Mr. Rogers this year! It’s a pity that he only drank it
once. Ben was originally introducing the tea happily when his voice grew smaller at the end, and his
eyes turned red again.
Kevan took a sip. The rich and bittersweet taste engulfed his tongue, but when the tea slipped down his
throat, he could savor a slight hint of sweetness. He did not like drinking tea Compared to alcohol and
coffee, which were stronger, tea was too bland for him.
But his grandpa used to drink tea like his life depended on it.

chest with his hand. “After he passed. I’ve been drinking this tea relentlessly, but my heart still aches.”
Kevan said nothing. He threw back the cup of hot tea. It numbed his tongue, but the ache from his
heart remained unchanged.
Well, Ben was right.
Kevan put the empty cup on the table, and Ben filled it up for him again.
“I knew too—that Old Mr. Rogers had reached quite an old age, and that this would happen one day…
But Ben shook his head and sighed heavily. “He passed without warning. When he was having dinner
with Mr. Cody on the day of his death, he was quite energetic.
Who knew.
Kevan’s eyelid twitched. “Cody came on the day Grandpa passed?”
“Mr. Cody came to report about work,” Ben said. “He would come every month. Before he came at the
beginning of every month. This time, he was hall a month late. It was only because Old Mr. Rogers
could not wait any longer and kept calling him that he came.”
Kevan was aware of Cody’s monthly meetings with Grandpa. Although Grandpa had let Cody manage
Soaring Corporation, he would always worry. So, he could only ensure that the company was running
well through this method.
However, Kevan was unaware that Cody was present on the day Grandpa passed.
He found it odd anyway–Though grandpa’s health could not be said to have been perfect, he did not
have any terminal diseases, not to mention that Ben was taking care of him as well as having periodic
visits from the family doctor No matter how he looked at it, Grandpa
was nowhere near the end of his life.
But life expectancy was an unpredictable thing.
Everyone said that Grandpa’s “time was up“, and that it was a “joyous departure.” So, he did not look

Cody alone with Grandpa that day?”
*They’re usually alone during those meetings,” Ben replied honestly. “You’re asking me this “He had
been with Roland for several years. so he was quick to notice things. “Is it because you suspect that
Mr. Cody has something to do with Old Mr. Rogers‘ death?”
Kevan did not say anything, but his eyes confirmed it.
“I’m not trying to defend Mr. Cody Ben closed his room door and lowered his voice. “But Mr. Cody
should be innocent in this. He came in the attemoon. After reporting about work, he ate dinner with Old
Mr. Rogers, Old Mr. Rogers was still normal then, and he was still teaching Mr. Cody about how to deal
with company matters. Alter dinner was finished, Mr. Cody left. I helped Old Mr. Rogers wash up and
return to his room, and I only left after helping him lie on the bed. So, Old Mr. Rogers did not die a
natural death, the most obvious person to have harmed him would be me, and not Mr. Cody.”
But Ben did not have any motive to harm Grandpa. On the ullier hand, he could list out several motives
that Cody may have.
*I was just asking.” Kevan smiled faintly. He had no intention of arguing with Ben.
