"At Northstream! Didn't I tell you that I'm here to celebrate your uncle's birthday? I went to the shopping mall with your aunt to buy some clothes for him. Then, I bumped into her! She dressed up so well. Yet, not only did she not buy us any clothes, but she also snatched them back. Then, she got a man to come over and pushed me to the ground. She even instructed someone to beat me up! Regan, we worked so hard to raise her, but how could she be so vicious? She joined forces with outsiders to hit her own family member. That ungrateful b*stard! We should've sold her overseas as a slave."

Finley wiped her tears sadly, making herself sound extremely miserable so her son would feel sorry for her.

"Mom, don't cry! Take care of your health. When I meet her, I'll definitely teach this unfilial daughter a lesson for you. How dare she hit her own grandmother?" scolded Regan furiously, not even caring that Arissa was his daughter.

"Regan, my head hurts. You should come over and send me to the hospital. Do you think that I have a concussion after being beaten up by them? I feel so uncomfortable!" wailed Finley.

"Mom, I'm busy. Why don't you come back first?"

If Regan did not have work to settle in the company, he would have accompanied his mother to her hometown.

"Regan, I might die soon. Aren't you coming to keep me company? Or do you think that I'm lying to you? Let me take a picture for you! Look at how badly that b*tch beat me up!" Sniffling, Finley immediately took a few photos of her injuries and sent them over.

When Regan saw her swollen face, he was furious.

Wishing for nothing more than to kill Arissa, he quickly booked a plane ticket and rushed over to Northstream.

Arissa followed Benjamin back to the hotel after ensuring that the kids were full.

When they reached the suite, she instructed the kids to bathe.

"Tim, I'll help you bathe, okay?" She squatted in front of Tim and gazed at him gently.

"Ms. York, I can bathe on my own! You should bathe too," refused Tim.

Gavin laughed secretly. "Mommy, you don't have to help us bathe anymore. We know how to bathe on our own! You should go bathe now."

Gavin dragged Tim away. He then called Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper to bathe together.

Arissa carried Jesse and entered the bathroom to bathe.

When Benjamin saw her treating Jesse differently, he frowned.

"Arissa!"

Pausing, she turned around and glanced at Benjamin. "What's up?"

"Why don't you let Jesse bathe with his brothers? Why are you bathing him separately?"

There was a solemn look on his face. He disagreed with Arissa being biased toward any child.

Arissa was stunned. When she met his disapproving gaze, she chuckled secretly.

"Jesse doesn't know how to bathe yet. It's cleaner if I help her." Arissa's response left Benjamin speechless. Then, she brought Jesse away to bathe.

Jesse still doesn't know how to bathe?

Frowning, Benjamin strode toward them. Arissa had already carried Jesse into the bathroom.

Benjamin planned to ask Arissa to rest while he bathed Jesse. To his surprise, the door was locked from the inside.

Immediately, a grim expression crossed his face.

What is she trying to do?

Jesse stared at the entrance in surprise while Arissa placed a finger over her lips, signalling Jesse to stay silent.

At that moment, Benjamin said, "Arissa, come out! I'll bathe Jesse."

"It's fine! Jesse still isn't close to you, so she won't like it if you bathe her," replied Arissa as she shot a look at Jesse.

Jesse, who was very smart, immediately wailed, "No! I don't want Mr. Graham to bathe me! I want Mommy instead! Mommy, don't let him enter! If he does, I don't want to bathe anymore!"

Looking at Jesse's dramatic and convincing act, Arissa almost burst out laughing.

Standing at the door, Benjamin fell silent.

Having scared Jesse so badly that she cried, he felt bad.

He coaxed softly, "Jesse, a boy shouldn't cry so easily! Since you don't like me helping you bathe, I won't enter. Let Mommy bathe you instead!"

Initially, Benjamin wanted to say that since Jesse was already five years old, she should learn how to bathe like her brothers.

However, since Jesse was already crying, he could not bear to say anything else. Eventually, he had no choice but to relent.

Unknown to him, Arissa and Jesse were laughing secretly in the bathroom.
