Chapter 12
Lynn stopped to turn around. When they looked at each other, the atmosphere became cold.
“Young lady… I’ll wait for you aside.” Joyce was so scared that she stepped back far away.
Lynn pursed her lips, “I’ll go to the clothing stores with Joyce to shopping. What’s wrong? Are you going to go with us since you grabbed my arm?”
Benson looked Lynn up and down twice and then stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
“There is no need for you to buy clothes. Is there anyone you want to show to?”
“Hmph, I’m going to show to everyone. By the way, I’m going to attend grandma’s birthday party, so let me go. I’m going to buy the clothes for the party now.”
“You aren’t allowed to go. Even if you aren’t ashamed, and I am. No matter how good-looking clothes you buy, can the scars on your face disappear? No matter how nicely an ugly woman dresses, it’ll only be a joke.”
Hearing that almost every sentence was emphasizing she was ugly, Lynn got irritated.
“You’re so annoying. Why do you keep saying I’m ugly? How superficial you are. Why do you only pay attention to one’s appearance? Never mind. It’s wasting time to argue with you. Wait to be praised after I buy nice clothes.”
Lynn left, leaving only a faint scent of fragrance.
“Lynn.”
Benson looked at her who just ran away from him in disbelief and shouted, but Lynn pulled Joyce and rushed away instead.
At the same time, Neil tried to hold back laughing when he saw Benson was humiliated, but unfortunately, Benson had already spotted his expression.
“Why don’t you go back to the company yet!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Okay.”
Neil was ashamed, but he thought that Young lady was quite interesting.
Benson also returned to the company.
Meanwhile, a breaking news was released on the Internet.
“Breaking news! Benson, the business genius in Los Santos, isn’t disabled. Instead, he still dominates The Warner Group.”
Then came another big news.
“My God!!! Benson seems to be cheated to secretly marry Lynn, the ugliest and vicious girl!”
As soon as Neil read the news, he rushed to the president’s office.
When he came in, he found Benson had already sat in front of the computer and stared at the news.
“Mr. Warner.”
Neil called out, but Benson didn’t respond.
However, it could be seen that his face was very livid at one glance, and Neil felt uneasy.
Glancing over Lynn’s photo, Benson picked up his phone, trying to call her. But he failed and he became angrier, his aura suppressed.
“Give me Lynn’s phone number.”
Neil immediately took out his phone to find out Lynn’s phone number, which he had already checked, and then handed it over.
It was at the shopping mall.
“This ice cream is delicious and really sweet.”
Lynn laughed.
“Foodie. How could you be satisfied by just eating such little.”
“Hey, it’s really delicious.”
When Lynn’s phone rang, she and Joyce had bought ice cream and were heading into the mall.
Before answering the phone, she still wondered whose number it was because she didn’t know it.
However, as soon as she answered, the familiar anger came and pierced her eardrums.
“Lynn, how bold you are. After exposing that I’m not disabled, telling everyone that I was still that elegant Benson, you continued to say I married the vicious you and you became a big winner. You must feel happy, right?”
In confusion, Lynn took the phone away from her ear, wondering what he was talking about.
She didn’t know what was wrong with him.
Joyce found something and pulled Lynn’s arm to let her watch the advertisement on the giant screen on the wall.
“Young lady, something bad happened. Look.”
In the advertisement, the huge and exaggerated red headline, coupled with Lynn’s ugly photo and Benson’s handsome photo, making the related events clear at a glance.
Lynn widened her eyes open, her scalp tingling, having no idea why it became like this.
‘Who leaked this?’
“I didn’t do that.”
“Stop denying. You’re the biggest beneficiary of this matte. Now the whole world knows that I’m not disabled and you becomes the glorious Mrs. Warner.”
Lynn pursed her lips and stared at her huge ugly photo on the screen. It looked so dazzling that she felt uncomfortable.
‘How could he ensure that it was me?’
She gritted her teeth, “I said that I was ugly and vicious, and I’m strong enough to belittle myself so much. It’s clear that you have made too many enemies and involved me in this trouble.”
Benson seemed unbelievable.
“I’ve made too many enemies and involved you in this trouble?”
“What else could it be? Do you think that only you’re allowed to slender me while I’m not allowed to speculate you? This is modern society. Men and women are fair, and everyone is equal. Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?”
She was meaning he was hegemonic.
“Very well. Do you know what’s going to happen if you stir me up?”
Lynn squeezed the ice cream.
She replied bravely, “I’ll be prohibited eating, right? Anyway, now the whole world knows that I’m your wife. If I starve to death, everyone will believe that it’s you that starve your wife to death. In that case, I’ll be the scandal that you won’t be able to get rid of for the rest of your life. If you aren’t afraid of retribution, go ahead.”
Benson was shocked. He had planned to call to teach Lynn a lesson, but he didn’t expect to be accused by her plausibly.
“If I find out it’s you, I’ll kill you.”
After pressing his temples, Benson threated her and then threw the phone away, thinking, ‘What a shameless woman. She’s so good at contradicting people.’
Neil, who just went out, received an important news and hurried in to report.
“Mr. Warner, the people from Sirius Villa have returned in secret.”
Benson’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as well coldness at the same time.
“When did they come back?”
“The day of your wedding, and… I found that the new was also leaked from the Sirius Villa.”
Neil was embarrassed because he had heard everything Benson asked Young lady just now.
Benson pressed his knuckles and became indifferent, thinking it was interesting for the people from the Sirius Villa to give him such a big “Gift” when they came back.
Neil was puzzled by this.
“Five years ago, when you had a car accident, they rumored that you were knocked to be disabled. But today they said that it was wrong. Aren’t they trying to humiliate themselves?”
Benson flexed his fingers and knocked on the table.
“The reason why they spread the news of my disability five years ago was that they tried to steal The Warner Group from me, but they failed. This time, while clarifying that I’m not disabled, they also leaked that I married an ugly and vicious woman in order to let me be laughed at again. People would think that I, as the dignified president of The Warner Group, was actually tricked by a woman. In conclusion, from the beginning to the end, they only aimed to break me down hard.”
Neil was delighted after hearing Benson’s words.
“Cover the news on the Internet. It’s annoying.”
“Yes.”
Neil closed the door and went out WHILE Benson tugged at his tie and felt irritable because it turned out that he had actually blamed Lynn wrongly.
He recalled the way she just plausibly spoke on the phone, saying that it was he that made enemies and get her involved deliberately. Her angry look of blaming him actually made him feel a little vivid.
He wondered if he lost his mind.
