The Bennett Family was completely enraged by these words, and there was no way they could hold back anymore—they forcibly severed the tendons in Charles Reynolds's right hand. This directly resulted in Charles Reynolds becoming disabled. During the battle against the invading demon race, Charles Reynolds, hindered by his right hand, was bitten by a demon, began to show signs of demonization, and ultimately took his own life with a horizontal slash.

At that time, after his tendons were cut, Charles Reynolds did not blame William Reynolds. But the already strained relationship between the two brothers hit rock bottom because of this incident.

It wasn't until five years later, when the demon race invaded, that their mother Cooper, in utter desperation, finally revealed the truth.

And this truth was something that William Reynolds regretted until his dying day.

It turned out that the reason Charles Reynolds went to steal from the The Bennett Family all started because of the ten failed purple pearl grass plants that William Reynolds had tried to cultivate.

It was said that the The Bennett Family possessed a "Rejuvenating Dew," which might have been able to save the purple pearl grass.

Charles Reynolds went there precisely for the "Rejuvenating Dew"; his intention was to save the purple pearl grass, and thus preserve their branch's contribution to the family.

What pained William Reynolds the most was learning from his mother that the monthly salary and resources he received from the family were actually double—one share for himself, and one share that belonged to Charles Reynolds.

In other words, William Reynolds alone was using up the resources meant for both brothers.

And through it all, Charles Reynolds never let their mother tell his younger brother.

The reason Charles Reynolds did this was because his younger brother William Reynolds had possessed a Dao Seed since he was in the womb. Those with a Dao Seed were generally considered geniuses.

So, Charles Reynolds felt that, given their limited resources, instead of wasting them on both brothers, it was better to concentrate their advantages and prioritize nurturing his younger brother, so that their father's lineage could flourish.

In his previous life, William Reynolds was completely in the dark about all the painstaking efforts his elder brother had made. It wasn't until the demon race pressed in, his brother became demonized and committed suicide, that their mother tearfully revealed the truth.

But by then, it was too late. William Reynolds was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do!

It was a regret he could never forgive himself for, even in death!

Fortunately, he was reborn.

Now, judging by the time, his brother should have already snuck into the The Bennett Estate. It was too late to stop him.

The first turning point in William Reynolds's new life after rebirth was right in front of him. How could he prevent the tragedy from happening again? Thoughts raced through William Reynolds's mind.

In his previous life, he owed his brother too much; in this life, it was time to repay that debt!

William Reynolds's expression kept changing, and Cooper saw it all.

Of course, Cooper had no idea that, in this instant, her second son was experiencing a violent storm within his heart.

As for the relationship between her two sons, Cooper was also troubled. She was well aware of all the sacrifices her eldest son Charles Reynolds had made in secret.

But Charles Reynolds was not someone who flaunted his kindness or expected gratitude; no matter what, he was unwilling to reveal any of it.

Both Charles Reynolds and Cooper knew very well that, with William Reynolds's pride, if he ever found out he had always been receiving his brother's help, he would absolutely refuse to accept any of it.

However, if nothing was said, the discord between the two brothers would always be a source of worry for her as their mother.

Now, seeing William Reynolds's unpleasant expression, she thought he was once again resenting Charles Reynolds in his heart. Cooper's lips moved as if to say something, but remembering her eldest son's instructions, she could only sigh softly and say nothing.

Yet, Cooper could never have imagined that her eldest son Charles Reynolds had already fallen into the hands of the The Bennett Family at this very moment.

William Reynolds took in every nuance of his mother's expression. His heart ached—perhaps the strained relationship between the two brothers had always been a source of pain for their mother?

In his previous life, he had been willful and stubborn. Though he loved his mother deeply, he rarely considered her feelings.

Now that he had the chance to make up for everything, how could he let his mother continue to suffer from this heartache?

So tonight, he had to come up with a proper solution to prevent this tragedy.

The Moonlight Medal?

If he had to use the Moonlight Medal in exchange, William Reynolds would not hesitate.

In his previous life, the two brothers had always had misunderstandings and barriers due to their different personalities, which left William Reynolds with endless regret.

In this life, William Reynolds would never let the tragedy repeat itself!

The maid Little Alice, though not talkative, was clever and perceptive. She knew the two young masters did not get along well, and seeing the expressions of the mistress and young master, she quickly broke the awkward atmosphere: "Young master, the medicine is getting cold. Please drink it quickly."

As she spoke, she handed over the bowl of medicine.

Her words reminded Cooper, who hurriedly urged, "Yes, Cangqiong, drink your medicine first."

William Reynolds nodded and, very cooperatively, gulped down the bowl of medicine that Little Alice handed over, finishing it to the last drop.

This spiritual medicine was hard to come by, and its effects were immediate. After drinking the bowl, William Reynolds's complexion became rosier, and his mind grew clearer.

He knew that, for now, it was best not to alarm his mother about his brother. Otherwise, with her deep love for her sons, she might inadvertently make things worse.

Besides, his mother had suffered greatly over the years. Rumors had long circulated that their father, who was cultivating far away in the Heavenly Pavilion, had already perished, which made his mother's mood even gloomier.
