George didn’t quite understand why Hector was so insistent on seeing him off. It was so close. But since Hector was persistent, he didn’t argue further. He took his medical kit and then left.
Just as they reached the entrance, Levi also came out. He said, T coming with you guys. I can meet that reckless Naomi by the way!
A bunch of them left together, leaving the dining room instantly quieter. Only Sam, Ruby, Levi, Keith, Cynthia, and Jonathan were left.
Tonight was full of twists and turns, especially when Cynthia suddenly had her godparents. She hadn’t fully processed it yet, but she boldly pulled Jonathan forward and officially introduced him, “Sam, Ruby, this is my husband, Jonathan Bennett,
Jonathan arrived a bit late today, so he didn’t know what had happened earlier or how Cynthia came to become the Xenos family’s goddaughter. But since Cynthia had, he accepted it with ease. He said, “Mr. Xenos, Mrs. Xenos, it’s been a long time. Do you remember me?”
Cynthia was slightly surprised about the fact that they knew each other, but soon she understood. The Xenos family was one of the top four families, and in past years, all four were closely connected.
Nevertheless, the Xenos family kept a low profile. The previous generation, Sam’s parents, for some unknown reason, had settled in Roncrity after passing the company to Sam.
Therefore, when Sam was young, he often traveled to Roncrity and then met Ruby there. Over ten years ago, he and his wife moved to Lunaris Town.
The Xenos family’s business shifted mostly from domestic to international, gaining significant global standing. Although domestically, their prominence didn’t quite match that of the wealthiest, the Bennett family.
However, Sam and Ruby moved abroad over a decade ago, suggesting they probably knew each other when Jonathan was a
child.
Sure enough, Ruby stood up and gave Jonathan a quick look–over. “Alas, time flies. The last time I saw you, you were just five years old. I’m surprised you still remember me.”
Jonathan smiled gently and said, “When I was five, I got lost at the amusement park and nearly got taken by traffickers. It was your courage that saved me, and you even sent me home. I’ll never forget it, Mrs. Xenos.”
When Jonathan said this, everyone present was taken aback. Cynthia glanced at Jonathan with a hint of distress in her eyes. She had heard him talk about it before.
When he was five, Whitney took him to an amusement park for the first time but left him there by himself. It wasn’t until
her days and nights later that he made it back to the Bennett family.
nthia found it quite puzzling back then. Considering the power of the Bennett family, how could it take them three days and nights to find a lost child? It turned out that Jonathan had encountered some traffickers.
Ruby also seemed to remember the incident back then. On Keith’s fifth birthday, his wish was for Ruby to accompany him to the amusement park. During the visit, she often came across a little boy. He wasn’t playing but just sat silently on a bench by himself.
Two hours later, he was still there. Ruby walked over and asked. “Hey kid, who did you come with! Where are your parents?”
The little boy said with bright eyes, I’m waiting for my sister. She said she’d get me some food and told me to wait here.
She’ll be back soon.”
Ruby thought that seeing him sitting there twice was just a coincidence and didn’t think much of it. That day, she returned

Keith had already fallen asleep in the car. As they drove along the road, she caught a glimpse of that same little boy passing by.
He was walking along the roadside with his head down, looking so lonely. His shoulders were trembling slightly as if he was crying. On such a cold night, he was walking by the roadside alone.
Ruby quickly told the chauffeur to turn around. But when they did, the little boy was nowhere to be found, and they only saw a black van speeding by.
The van’s license plate was covered, and Ruby’s instincts told her something was wrong. She immediately called the police and had the chauffeur get out with Keith. Then she jumped in the driver’s seat and chased after the van..
What happened next was complicated. In short, the revelation of the shocking nationwide 121 underground trafficking
network was all thanks to her.
Ruby didn’t only save Jonathan, but also many other children. Ruby personally took Jonathan to the Bennett residence indeed. At that time, the Bennett family had mobilized a lot of resources to look for Jonathan.
They didn’t know that Jonathan had been kidnapped by traffickers. They thought Whitney had hidden him.
As for Whitney, Ruby knew a huge secret about her. Ruby gazed at Jonathan’s incredibly handsome face, and then someone appeared in her mind. She sighed deeply to herself, The Bennett family is really complicated.
Ruby sighed in her mind. Outwardly, she kept a cheerful smile and said, “We really are destined, don’t you think!
“Among the four major families, the Xenos family and the Bennett family have the most distant ties. Who would have expected that in the end, we would become a family?”
Jonathan smiled gently and said with respect, “It’s my honor.”
The Xenos family leaders had been decisive in business through the generations but kept their private lives very low–profile They didn’t enjoy socializing either.
The other three major families had mostly intermarried over the generations, forming strong alliances, so every family had countless connections, somehow related by blood. But the Xenos family stayed independent, especially after Sam and Ruby abroad.
They seemed not just to be business people. They were more devoted to charity work.
Keith walked over and said, “Jonathan, now that you’re my god–sister’s husband, shouldn’t you call me your god–brother?” Keith and Jonathan had been enemies for years. They actually attended the same university. Keith was outstanding at school, but he was always just a bit less than Jonathan. So, he was also secretly called “the eternal second place“.
Later, Jonathan returned to the country to start his business, and Keith did the same. They competed in many fields. However, in the areas they both pursued, Keith was always just a little behind Jonathan.
Eventually, feeling pretty down, he founded Keith Tech and quickly became the new tech star
He also started several e–sports companies, supported the top e–sports team in the country and won numerous awards. In this field, he was the undisputed king. But since Jonathan never entered this area, it couldn’t be said he had truly beaten Jonathan.
So, Keith always held onto some resentment. He didn’t expect that today he’d finally get a chance to show off.
Jonathan smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll call you my god–brother, and you can call me Boss, referring to each other as we please.”
