Preston was galloping on his horse towards them. But when he dismounted, his first reaction wasn’t to run to Whitney; like Jonathan, he quickly reached Cynthia.
He grabbed her arm and looked her up and down. “Cynthia, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Whitney and Jonathan frowned almost simultaneously when they saw this scene.
Cynthia gave him a reassuring smile. “I’m fine. No need to worry She hadn’t expected Preston to actually follow her here.
Jonathan discreetly separated their hands. “Preston, how did you end up following us here?”
Preston said, “I closed my eyes and picked a path at random. I never expected I’d end up here by happy accident.”
Then he looked at Jonathan with an innocent expression, “Uncle weren’t you going after Nina? Why are you here too?”
Jonathan was speechless..
“Preston, do you even know that I’ve been looking for you in Iugrea for a whole month?” From behind came Whitney’s stern voice, mixed with a hint of anger.
Preston deliberately used his card in Iugrea and pulled all sorts of tales to make her think he was there.
Little did Whitney know, he had actually returned over a month ago and had boldly joined this reality show.
Although Whitney arranged the show, she hadn’t really been following it closely until yesterday when someone reported that Alex was missing.
They showed her the last video before Alex disappeared, and she realized that her dear son was also part of the show.
Preston grew up living abroad, and with the protective measures in place, almost no one knew his true identity, not even Alex.
Whitney also noticed Preston’s infatuation with Cynthia, and in her anger, she flew over immediately.
Preston turned around with a cheerful smile and said, “Mom, what are you doing here?”
Whitney stood up, walked over to Preston, and gave him a thorough look–over.
Then she glanced at Cynthia and said meaningfully, “If I hadn’t come, were you going to let the two of you compete over a woman and embarrass our Bennett family?”
Preston looked a bit annoyed and said, “Mom, it’s not like that.”
Still, he went over to Cynthia’s side and introduced her to Whitney, “Mom, this is Cynthia. I’m going after her now. She’s amazing. She even saved me when I was in Pillere.”
Whitney’s tone was a bit sarcastic. “She’s really something. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have you wrapped around her finger.”
That really set Preston off, and his face turned serious: “Mom, I won’t let you talk about Sis like that.”
With just a few words, Whitney could sense Preston’s feelings for Cynthia. It seemed more serious than she had anticipated.
Whitney had met Cynthia before, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman was out of the ordinary.
Cynthia had been with Jonathan for three years and didn’t seek the Bennett family’s status or wealth.

She aimed to use Cynthia to break up Jonathan and Nina, trying to disrupt his alliance with the Sullivan residence. But so far, it hasn’t worked at all. Instead, it dragged Preston into the situation.
On her way here by plane today, a new possibility suddenly occurred to her.
Cynthia, a naturally captivating woman, was carefully groomed by Jonathan to entice and mislead Preston.
On the surface, Jonathan seemed to treat Preston well. But she knew his true nature all too well.
He has the worst and filthiest genes in the world. Perhaps even when Preston was just a child, he was already sneakily planning.
Whitney thought, ‘After all, considering how I treated him, how could he possibly treat my child with genuine kindness?‘
Whitney knew Preston was rebellious now, so she didn’t want to confront him directly.
She put on a smile, patted his shoulder, and said, “Alright, look at how messy you are now. Go take a nice shower, and I’ll have someone prepare a big meal for you.”
The three of them returned to the ranch.
Meanwhile, Nina was fine. The coach at the ranch had brought her back.
However, she was still a bit shaken. Upon seeing Jonathan, she ran over and hugged his waist tightly. “Mr. Bennett…”
Just now when she got back, the coach who had rescued her said that it was Jonathan who sent him.
And they had just watched the arena’s surveillance footage. Both her horse and Cynthia’s lost control at the same time. Jonathan, almost without hesitating, rushed towards her.
That was enough. As for why he ended up coming back with Cynthia, Nina didn’t want to ask.
Nina threw herself into Jonathan’s arms, tears falling instantly. “Mr. Bennett, I thought I would never see you again.” Jonathan felt relieved when he saw Nina was unharmed.
He patted Nina’s shoulder gently, then softly pushed her away, saying, “You’re fine now. Okay, stop crying.”
The drone that had just been repaired wobbled over.
The live room, which had been off–air for an hour, suddenly showed a scene.
[Oh my gosh, it’s back.]
[Thank goodness, Cynthia and Nina are both okay.]
[Seeing Nina crying in Mr. Bennett’s arms broke my heart. Have they finally realized each other’s feelings and gotten together after everything they’ve been through?]
[I don’t know why, but I’ve stopped shipping this couple. I feel bad for Cynthia being used just for their drama.]
[Cynthia, if it’s really not working out, let’s stop recording.]
Cynthia watched with a blank expression as Nina ran into Jonathan’s arms. When things went wrong, Jonathan naturally rushed to Nina. This clearly showed how important Nina was to him. Maybe she should wish them happiness.
“Nina, it’s been so long. You’ve grown so much.” A woman’s voice came from behind Jonathan.
Nina’s body stiffened instantly. She could hardly believe it.
