After a long pause, Susan replied, “Mr. Landor! There’s no need. I don’t need that much money,”

Ben frowned,

What should he say at a time like this?

He vaguely remembered that he had done a similar question before.

Fortunately, his memory was superb.

Ben immediately put on a domineering expression and replied, “If you want to keep it, just keep it. What’s mine should belong to you anyway.”

“There’s really no need for it.” Susan stubbornly pushed the document back. “I have enough money.”

All of a sudden, Ben approached closer to her and said in a low voice, “Your money is yours, and my money is yours to take as well.”

Susan was speechless.

Finally, she realized what was wrong.

She could not help but ask, “Have you been… reading any strange material recently?”

Ben’s lips twitched briefly, then he quickly shook his head. “No. I didn’t.”

Susan looked at him with suspicion and then said with a serious face, “Ben, you said you want to give us a shot, and I agreed. I thought what you meant was an equal and fair relationship. I don’t need gifts

like this.”

Ben then said without skipping a beat, “How can we be equal? You will always be my queen, and I’m your servant.”

He did not learn this from any website!

It was one of the hundred romantic statements that he researched.

Susan was stunned.

She looked at Ben with a complex expression, at loss for words.

Finally, Susan reached out and touched Ben’s forehead.

Tsk.

He had no fever!

After that, Ben grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes with affection. “It may look like you’ve just touched my forehead. But in fact, you’ve touched my heart.”

Susan had no words.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “Ben! Are you sure you haven’t been reading any nonsense?”

Ben shook his head decisively. “No.”

He had been reading totally rational materials. None of it was nonsensical.

Suddenly, Susan watched Ben with bemusement.

Truth to be told, Susan was quite moved deep down.

Someone like Ben had learned about these romantic expressions for her. Although it was a little tacky, she could not deny his passion.

What a man Ben was.

He looked intimidating on the outside, but Susan had always found his passion more fiery and intense than anyone else’s.

Once he was set on liking her, he was willing to give everything he had to her.

Susan sighed then. “Ben, if I were unsatisfied to begin with, I’ll only want more if you’re offering me so much. Sooner or later, you’ll be left with nothing.”

“Then so be it,” said Ben nonchalantly.

His personality would still remain even if he were to suffer many losses.

He just wanted to give the person he liked the best things and his utmost support.

But it was also because he was contributing so much so sincerely that if he lost everything, he would be in even more pain and despair.

Susan would never know how much courage it took for Ben to confess his feelings.

She had no idea.

That would most likely be the last time for Ben to be so brave.

Susan glanced at Ben and said, “Take these back first.”

Ben opened his mouth, about to say something.

But Susan hurriedly stopped him, “Don’t talk!”

Ben stared at her in confusion. In the question he did, it stated that sometimes when a woman said she did not need something, it was truly unnecessary. But other times, she might be wanting it.

So, what kind of situation were they in?

Susan could vaguely sense Ben’s puzzlement. She was amused and pushed the things to in front of him. “I really don’t need them!”

She feared that Ben would struggle more with this, so she quickly stood up and said, “I’m going to take a shower!”

After that, she sneaked into the bathroom.

Ben raised his eyebrows, then he laughed suddenly.

That night.

Ben still volunteered to sleep on the sofa.

This made Susan relax a little.

Although they were serious about giving it a shot, it would be too soon to sleep in the same bed.

If possible, Susan would still prefer a brewing and long–lasting relationship.

The next day.

After breakfast, Susan was about to head to the office.

Ben then said slowly, “Don’t go to the office in the morning.”

MMMM

“Why?” Susan did not understand.

“I asked for leave for you,” continued Ben. “Go somewhere with me for the

morning.”

“But I still have work to finish.” Susan was a little unwilling to do that.

Ben then looked at her with a smile, “I really should give you an award for being a good employee.”

“If you really do it, I’ll accept it with shame, Susan replied with confidence.

Ben’s heart jolted.

In the past, Susan had always acted with caution in front of him.

But she was obviously much more relaxed at that moment.

That was a great thing to see.

So, Ben picked up his phone and relayed, “Luke, make a Storm Group’s good employee plaque. When the time comes…”

Susan’s eyes widened.

Holy crap. He was being serious?

She quickly grabbed over the phone and tried to hang up.

But when she looked at the screen, she was dumbfounded.

Ben did not make the call at all.

She… was tricked.

“I didn’t expect… you to act this way.” Susan gawked at him.

Ben took back his phone calmly and responded, “Thank you for the compliment. Now, let’s go.”

He stood up first, so Susan had no choice but to follow him.

Half an hour later.

The car pulled to a stop in front of the court.

“The court?” Susan was taken aback.

Ben then lazily answered, “The trial of Yana Miller starts today.”

Only then did Selena come to her senses.

Previously, Ben had sued Yana.

However, Susan did not pay much attention to it. She did not know that the case would be on trial in court on that day.

At once, Susan could not help but feel a little conflicted.

“I’ve entrusted the case to the lawyer, so there should be no doubt about the result.” Ben glanced at Susan. “Yana’s crime will be proven.”

It was just a small charge. It might not even meet the standard that would make Yana eligible for suspension.

However, the crime itself was a torment for Yana.

Ben thought since Yana was so mean to Susan, Susan should be glad to see her downfall.

But Susan’s expression was not one of delight.

She whispered, “Ben, let’s go.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Huh?” He frowned.

Susan looked up at him. “I’m living a good life now. The affairs of the Miller family have nothing to do with me anymore.”

Ben watched her.

Her expression was genuine. There was not a trace of a lie.

It was Susan’s true thought.

Ben could not help but laugh then. He said, “Okay. Let’s go.”

Ben agreed without hesitation, and Susan sighed in relief.

Ben was about to make the driver turn around and leave.

Out of the blue, a resentful voice rang out.

“Susan, are you so excited to see me make a fool of myself?”

Susan froze for a moment when she saw Yana looking at her with her gloomy face.

Yana walked over to her in a few steps, and her expression was contorted when she added, “The charge is established, but the sentence is light. I paid the fine and the trial ended. Aren’t you so disappointed?”
