Chapter 82
Timothy spoke earnestly and finally urged, “Mr. Landor, please let go! Susan and I will thank you for the rest of our lives!”
Ben looked cold.
He hadn’t expected Timothy to be so brazen!
Ben had never been a good–tempered person, and now he felt an urge to throw Timothy
into the sea.
However, Ben didn’t know what Susan thought.
There had indeed been some misunderstanding between her and Timothy, but it had been resolved now.
Ben had no idea how Susan thought of Timothy now.
He wondered what choice would she make if Timothy asked her to get back together with
him.
Ben remembered Susan’s diary.
Every line of her diary was filled with her deep affection for Timothy:
Ben also remembered Susan cherished this diary so much that she had even strived to get
it back from Yana.

In the past, Susan had chosen to concede Yana the right to be together with Timothy.
“But what choice will she make now?”
Ben pondered, slightly flustered.
“Why are you mute?” Susan suddenly uttered as she turned to look at Ben.
“I…” Ben felt his lips a little dry.
He hadn’t expected himself to be so cowardly in such a situation.

Timothy had said that letting go was the best choice for Ben.
However, Ben didn’t want to do so.
He was unwilling in any case.

But Ben was afraid that Susan would hold grudges against him if he didn’t allow her to get back together with Timothy.
Thinking of how aggrieved Susan’s gaze at him would be, Ben couldn’t bear it.

“Are you really going to let go of me?” Susan asked.
Ben closed his lips tightly.
Seeing this, Timothy was secretly ecstatic. He hurriedly said, “Susan, I understand that Mr.
I
Landor is a little reluctant to do so. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have blocked me on your phone. However, I believe he is a magnanimous man and will definitely help us get back together after knowing how much we love each other.”
“Shut up,” Susan snapped as she glanced coldly at Timothy.
Meanwhile, she thought, “Ben blocked Timothy on my phone?
So be it!
Now that Ben blocked him for me, I don’t need to do it myself.
What? Is Timothy trying to sow discord between me and Ben with this matter?”
Susan’s gaze was so cold that Timothy was stunned for a moment before he suddenly had a premonition.
Originally, he had always been confident that Susan would still have feelings for him.
However, he was not so sure after seeing Susan’s cold and determined look.
“I’m asking you. Tell me.” Susan gazed at Ben.
Ben looked down and slowly replied, “Yes, I did block him.”

“I’m not asking you about this.” Susan seemed to be a little impatient as she continued, “Even if you didn’t block him, I’ll still do it by myself. I’m just asking you, are you really letting go of me? Do you intend to divorce me?”
Ben was stunned by Susan’s words.
He thought, “What did Susan mean?
Did she just say that she intended to block Timothy Leen as well?”
Ben instantly regained his composure and quickly replied, “I won’t let go. I will never divorce you.”
Susan finally revealed a satisfied look and said threateningly, “You’d better keep what your just said in mind! If you waver because of others‘ words again, I’ll beat you up.”
Susan rarely looked so fierce.
Ben was in an unprecedentedly good mood.
He looked at Susan and couldn’t help giggling.
Seeing the formidable Mr. Landor laugh like a fool, Susan’s heart melted.
“Susan… you…” Timothy stuttered as he looked at Susan, his face a little pale.
Susan said with a cold face, “Tell me what you want to say. What do you want from Ben by telling him this? Can either of you two decide who I’m in a relationship with?”
Ben hurriedly explained, “It’s him who has been nagging, Susan. I didn’t say anything.”
“Okay, I know you’re a good boy,” Susan said as she stroked Ben’s head lovingly.
Ben felt pleased.
Timothy was struck dumb.
“Hey, you’re considered a terrifying tyrant. Can you be more dignified?” thought Ben to himself.
However, Ben’s childish reaction in front of Susan made Timothy more and more flustered.
“Susan,” Timothy took a deep breath before he added, “That’s not what I meant. I just think that since the two of us are truly in love and your marriage to Ben Landor was because of Yana’s tricks, now that we’ve resolved the misunderstanding, why don’t we…”
“To tell you the truth, there’s indeed another reason why I married Ben Landor,” Susan said expressionlessly. “Do you know it?”
Timothy’s lips quivered. He suddenly didn’t dare to know the real reason.
“Old Mr. Landor specially held a banquet to select a perfect match for Ben. At the banquet, those who were interested in marrying Ben could show their talents while those who had no such interest would naturally keep a low profile.” Susan stared at Timothy with an intense gaze and continued, “But your fiancée presented an amazing ballet performance that was praised to the skies at the banquet!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Timothy was slightly dazed, for Yana had never told him about this.
“Therefore, the Landor family thought that she intended to marry Ben and soon determined the marriage! My father Carl Miller agreed to it without hesitation.” It was the first time that Susan had narrated the whole story so plainly. She had originally thought that she would feel aggrieved when she spoke it out, but in truth, she was composed. She continued, “After everything was arranged, Yana suddenly backed out. She performed at the banquet out of pure exhibitionism and had no intention of getting married at all. But she couldn’t reject the Landor family as she pleased, so she committed suicide by slashing her wrist that night.”

Susan said sarcastically, “She survived after cutting her wrist, but I had to donate blood to her again. During that week, I donated 1200cc blood to her. With such heavy loss of blood, I thought I was going to die from the blood donation.”
Susan spoke in a calm tone, but it instantly tugged at Ben’s heartstrings. He couldn’t help holding her hand tightly to comfort her.
He was aware that Susan had had a hard time in the Miller family, but he had never expected her situation to be so terrible.
He couldn’t believe Susan’s parents were so heartless that they even disregarded her life!
“Susan, I…” Timothy wanted to say something.

However, Susan interrupted him. “Fortunately, I was lucky enough to pull through. But Yana later wanted me to marry Ben in her place because she was already in a relationship with you and couldn’t marry anyone else.”
As Susan spoke, her voice became sarcastic. “You were promising and were devoted to Yana, which made you a perfect son–in–law in the eyes of the Miller family. In the end, I had no choice but to marry Ben in place of Yana.”
Susan calmness panicked Timothy. He explained eagerly, “Susan, I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this. But isn’t it further proof that your marriage to Ben Landor is a mistake? Since it’s a mistake, why don’t we correct it together? There is such a long relationship between
us.”
Susan glanced at Timothy coldly and said, “We’ve indeed known each other for a long time. Do you remember how many years we’ve known each other?”
Timothy calculated in his heart and replied, “It’s been twelve years since the freshman year of high school.”
“Yes, it’s been twelve years,” Susan said expressionlessly, “With our twelve–year friendship, you chose to stand on Yana’s side without hesitation when she accused me of pushing her down the stairs that day. While Ben, who had only known me for less than a month by that time, unconditionally believed my innocence. So tell me, what have you done to me even though you’ve known me for so long?”
Susan was blunt, but she was telling the truth.
Ben was glad to hear this and hurriedly echoed, “Yes, I saw through Yana’s malicious intention at a glance!”
After that, he even cast a smug glance at Timothy.
