A Trust-fund Baby

Late at night, in the center of Y City, there were the most core members of the Ray Family in a classical architectural complex covering hundreds of mu. At this moment, in the main seat of the hall sat a middle- aged man with half white hair and wearing a suit.

He sat straight and was as dignified and noble as a king. He was Benedict Ray, the master of the Ray family. He was the father of Judson Ray and Catherine Ray. He sat on the chair and Catherine in black coat respectfully stood in front of him. If Benedict did not say a word, Catherine did not dare to say a word.

Benedict had no any expression but said calmly, "So, Judson really likes that woman from the small family in N City?"

Hearing to her father's calm words, Catherine had cold sweat on her pretty face. She returned from Europe and did not tell Benedict anything about Judson. But Benedict had immense wealth and power in his hands, and if he wanted to know anything, no one could hide it from him! So even if Catherine only stayed in N City for a short hour, Benedict knew about it.

With simple investigation, Benedict found out that Judson had already left SKY City and backed to N City, and also got a marriage certificate with that woman. Benedict called Catherine to ask about Judson, Catherine dare not hide anything.

Catherine bit her lip lower and lowered her head, "Yes, Dad, brother really likes that woman called Diana."

Benedict still did not have any expression or action, but continued to ask, "Have you seen that woman?"

"Not yet, I was in a hurry to come back, and my stay in N City was very short," said Catherine, shaking her head.

Benedict continued, "Diana is a daughter of a small family in N City. Her birth mother Rachel Lane eloped with Diana's father 26 years ago. Out of rage, the Lane family took Rachel back."

Catherine was surprised, "Diana is a member of the Lane family?"

Benedict nodded, "Yes, but even if she is, her status is far behind from our family."

Catherine instantly understood her father's meaning. At the thought of Judson's resolute eyes, she felt bitter in heard and said to Benedict, "but Dad, I am afraid brother will only marry Diana, he loves her so deeply!"

Benedict said, "I don't agree."

"Dad!" Catherine felt Benedict's words incontestable. For the Ray Family, a marriage certificate was of no use. If Diana failed to get the recognition of the family, she absolutely could not enter the family. So Catherine was anxious.

"You have a problem with that?" Benedict frowned slightly. In his impression, this was the first time that Catherine disobeyed him! Since childhood, Catherine would not object whatever he said. Catherine became more anxious and had cold sweat on back. She knew all too well the power and means of her father. If he was against that Judson was with Diana, no one could stop that.

It was the problem. The relationship

between Judson and Benedict was bad. When Judson was a child, the Ray Family had internal fighting. When more than half of the branches of the Ray Family united to launch a rebellion on the main members, Judson's mother died because of Benedict's negligence. After that, Judson left the family and sought for education, not relying on the family.

Since then, Judson and Benedict were not like father and son, but more like enemies. After graduating from university, Judson gave up taking over the Ray Family, but went directly to N City and became a son- in-law of the Shaw family. On the one hand, it was for Diana, on the other hand, it was to anger Benedict.

Based on that, Catherine thought if Benedict stopped Judson from being with his most important woman, the consequences would be beyond her imagination.

Catherine took a deep breath and said, "Dad! Please think again! Do you really want brother to fight with you? When I was in N City, I took four men and tried to bring back my brother by force, but he only told me that if I intervened, there would be four more corpses!"

Benedict's pupils shrank. Catherine's words set off ripples in his heart, but he still said, "You know this family is not only up to me. The elders of the Ray family absolutely won't agree that a woman from a small family married to the heir of the family!"

Catherine nodded, "I know, but Dad, if you want brother to leave Diana, with my understanding of him, he will absolutely leave the family!"

Benedict shook his head, "He must inherit the Ray Family! It was his destiny! And he had to leave that woman. His heart is too soft, now he is not suitable for leading the Ray Family. He should be indifferent and should not be trapped by a woman..."

Hearing that, Catherine changed

greatly on face and knelt at the feet

of Benedict with tears in eyes.

Before he could finish his words, she had understood the meaning of Benedict's words. He wanted Diana to disappear from the world. With her father's power, Catherine did not doubt he would do it. But in that way, Judson's heart would die!

"Dad, why, why?" Catherine cried and begged.

Benedict's eyes were dim, "He is my son, he is the last heir of the family. The family cannot be controlled by the rebellious branch! It is my destiny, and it is his!"

With that, he did not pay more attention to Catherine kneeling on the ground, but directly got up and left the hall. After Benedict left for a long time, Catherine got up.

Her father was right. In accordance

with the family rules, at the age of 30 Judson would become the master of the Ray Family. It was destiny that Judson could not escape, The Ray Family as

world's top family would nee nee

allow

the heir to marry a woman from a small family. Diana was affright in ordinary people's eyes, but in the Ray family, this was her stain that could not be erased in her life!}}}
