Chapter 74: So Disappointing
Chapter 74: So Disappointing
Jason looked at him worriedly. "Mr. Evans, are you alright?"
Benson braced himself against the table edge and said, "Keep going!"
"When we sought out Reed Corporation for that business partnership, Miss Evans was also there. I
hadn't recognised her then, so I didn't report it. But now that I think about it, if Miss Evans is really
Cecilia's manager, then Mr. Reed's act of giving the endorsement to Cecilia would make sense."
Benson could not believe it. "Didn't you say that the owner of M Studio was some old man?"
"This... erm, the information's source may not be accurate. However, the news of Miss Evans being
Cecilia's manager is true. As for anything else, I don't know much about it."
Hearing that, Benson felt a little giddy.
Who could tell him what the hell was going on?
Why did his daughter end up becoming Cecilia's manager?
"Mr. Evans..."
Jason supported Benson's swaying body.
Just then, the office door opened and Pauline walked in. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
When she saw the scene before her, she hurried forward and asked, "Benson, what happened to you?"
"The medicine..."
Benson clutched at his chest and pointed to the drawer.
Pauline immediately helped him to the side and got his medicine for him. "Here, take it. Wash it down
with some water."
Benson swallowed the pill, and his breathing evened out. But he still looked upset.
"What on earth happened here?"
Pauline looked at Jason, who could only repeat the things that he had just said.
...
Hearing this, Pauline's face suddenly darkened. "Everything you just said, is that true?"
"Yes."
Pauline frowned. After a while, she nodded and said, "I see. You can leave now."
"Yes, ma'am."
Jason then left the office.
After that, Pauline rubbed Benson's chest soothingly and asked softly, "Do you feel better now,
Benson?"
"I'm fine..."
Benson gradually recovered and his face was not as red as before.
"I just found out that so many things have happened to the company recently. Gwenda, she..."
Pauline hesitated for a bit before saying sadly, "She has disappointed us all."
Benson snorted bitterly and said, "Oh, yes. She's so capable that she's working with outsiders to deal
with her father!"
If Jason had not told him about this, he would not have known that Gwenda was the one who was
behind all this mess.
"She really has changed a lot. I heard from Gretchen that she seems to have a boyfriend. I don't know
if he's the one who helped her found her studio."
"Boyfriend?"
Benson's chest tightened. "Do you know exactly what's going on?"
"No, I'm not too sure."
"Didn't you find anything when you went to visit her?"
Pauline shook her head and said, "Last time I went there, Gwenda chased me out of the house before I
could say anything much." She sighed, "This child has a deep misunderstanding about me. I think that
it won't be resolved in such a short time."
"What a b*stard!"
Benson gritted his teeth and said, "You treated her so well in the past. It's fine if she doesn't even
bother to be grateful to you, but she has the bloody audacity to treat you this way!"
"Alright, Benson, don't be angry. This matter can't be explained in a few words. Let's have a good chat
with her when you've recovered."
Benson pressed on his throbbing temples and sighed. "Very well, it's indeed time to find her."
Otherwise, as her father, he would be completely disgraced if she continued to mess around like this!
The issue with Lina Wood had been solved and Cecilia had risen to new heights.
...
However, due to the recent increase in workload along with following Cecilia around, Gwenda was
unable to adapt to it so quickly and fell ill.
