Chapter 99
“Are you afraid now?” Yana suddenly perked up. “If you’re afraid, then you can turn around. and leave right now. I guarantee that I won’t tell anyone chickened out at the last minute.”
“Yana!” Timothy frowned, and then he berated, “Watch your mouth.”
Yana was embarrassed. “Timothy! You’re my husband yet you criticized me instead of defending me. You clearly still care for Susan, that bit…”
Yana was about to say more.
“200 million dollars,” Ben said indifferently.
Yana came to an abrupt halt, her words stuck in her throat.
“Mr. Landor?” Yana was still a little afraid of Ben, and her expression was a little uneasy. “What do you mean?”
With an expressionless look, Ben said, “If I hear you insult Susan again, I’ll make your husband lose 200 million dollars. That was the first time you did it, and it cost him 200 million–dollars. I’m curious to see how much longer his fortune can last.”
Yana turned livid at once.
“I just threw some nasty words at her and he’s going to make me lose 200 million dollars?
Is he crazy?” Yana thought.
However, Ben was terrifyingly calm.
He could also do what he said.
“Are you happy now?” Timothy looked at Yana with slight anger.
“I… I…” Yana was still unwilling, but she could only glance resentfully at Susan and didn’t dare speak another word.

noblewoman in public? –
“Susan, Yana is immature. Please don’t take it to heart.” Timothy looked at Susan with at gentle expression. “I will keep an eye on her.”
Susan frowned. Before she could say anything, Ben pulled her to his side and looked at Timothy warily. “Mind your own business first!”
After that, he took Susan by the hand and the two of them swaggered off.
Timothy stared at the back of Susan in a daze for a long time.
Yana was full of resentment. He pinched Timothy hard and said, “There’s no point in gawking at her! She already has Ben. She won’t fall for you!”
“Shut up.” Timothy glanced at her coldly.
Π
“You want me to shut up?” Yana said coldly, “Will she be interested in you if I do? Timothy, it’s time to face reality. You are stuck with me for the rest of your life.”
Timothy looked even grimmer.
However, Yana was in a good mood. She took the initiative to hold Timothy’s hand and said, “Let’s go to the ball.”
Timothy really didn’t want to attend any ball with Yana.
But Susan was also there.
He was content with just a far glimpse of Susan, even though she no longer wanted to be From NôvelDrama.Org.
with him.
Timothy gritted his teeth and allowed Yana to pull him along.
In the hall.
The hall glowed bright with elegant guests in fine dress.
Except for a small number of people who came in pairs, most of them were young and beautiful young ladies from rich and powerful families.

The ladies of rich families were very happy to compete in terms of makeup, outfit, and
appearance.
However, when Susan and Ben appeared together, they immediately attracted everyone’s
attention.
The reason was simple.
Ben hardly attended any private banquets.
It was the first time in recent years that he had attended such an occasion.
The elders of the young ladies attending the banquet instructed them to take any opportunity to get to know Ben better.
They didn’t intend to seduce Ben. They believed a good relationship with him would benefit their company financially.
However, due to Ben’s scar and unpredictable nature, everyone shifted their focus to
Susan.
Ben was known to dote on his wife.
If pleasing Ben was difficult, they could take an indirect route to satisfy Susan.
Therefore, as soon as Ben and Susan appeared, a large group of people gathered around
them.
“Mr. Landor, it’s a pleasure to meet you here!”
“I was wondering why the lights in the hall were much brighter. It must be your presence lighting it up.”
“Mr. Landor, your presence is so uplifting, just like a cool wind.”
They showered him with compliments.
“My daughter is going to hold a birthday party soon. I wonder if Mr. Landor will come?”
IMM
“My father’s 80th birthday is coming soon. Mr. Landor, please come.”
“Mr. Landor, we have a project in our company that we believe has the potential to generate a significant return if you invest!”
They all seized the opportunity to cultivate a positive relationship with him.
The hall was abuzz with excited voices as if a flock of ducks were quacking.
Ben felt a headache coming on. He frowned and was about to lose his temper.
Susan tugged on his arm and he swallowed back the anger.
Everyone was surprised at it.
Upon seeing Ben’s frown, a chill ran through the hearts of everyone present, and they braced themselves for a possible rebuke.
After all, Ben was notorious for his lack of respect for others.

Susan didn’t even say anything. Her gentle tug on his arm was enough to keep him from lashing out in anger.
Seeing is believing!
Ben didn’t simply dote on his wife. He utterly spoiled her rotten.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Susan changed.
Some smart people immediately walked away from Ben and looked at Susan in surprise. “Oh my god, I’ve never seen such a beauty as Mrs. Landor. Instead of the clothes enhancing her look, she enhances the look of the clothes. It is an honor for the dress to be worn by her.”
Susan was mortified by the blatant flattery.
But Ben nodded repeatedly. “You’re right.”
The flatterer’s eyes suddenly lit up and he continued, “Truly, Mr. Landor, you have found yourself a remarkable wife. I have a daughter of a similar age to Mrs. Landor and I have always thought highly of her, yet she pales in comparison to Mrs. Landor.”

“You’re right, honey.” His wife, who was next to him, nodded repeatedly to show her
agreement.

Even their daughter, who had been belittled, looked up to Mrs. Landor with admiration and said, “Dad, that’s not fair. By comparing me to Mrs. Landor, you are diminishing her worth. I
do not deserve that.”
Susan was speechless.
She blushed a little.
Ben nodded.
He looked at this family with satisfaction in his eyes.
Ben thought, “If there is a project available, I could give it to them. They seem quite
sensible.”
Ben, who was said to be the hardest to please, spoke up after a lot of flattery. “You guys are good,” he said, giving the family great approval for their performance.
The looks on the others‘ faces changed as they looked at the family of three.
They thought, “Oh my god!
That family is too shameless!
If it were they…
They could be even more shameless than that family!”
“Mrs. Landor is gentle and virtuous. She’s a great wife.”
“Mrs. Landor is stunningly beautiful. Mr. Landor, you’re so lucky to have her.”
“Mrs. Landor…”
Then the people quickly shifted their flattery from Ben to Susan.
Susan was dumbfounded, but Ben nodded and said, “Your words are music to my ears.
Don’t stop now.”
